Personally I would start this cycle fresh and start temping now. Basically it is a wait and see game if your cycles are not regular yet. It is hard to "calculate" or predict ovulation when your cycles are not normal iykwim. Therefore observe your cervical mucus and take your temps. Record all your information and you may start to see a pattern. DTD when you see your mucus change to egg white or watery and then see if you get a temp rise over 3 consectutive days. By having a consistent temp rise you'll know that you have already ovulated.
Thank you. DH and I are hoping for this cycle too. I know it is hard to predict the ovulation date since my body is still a little all over the place. But you're right, never know what will happen until we give it a try. According to the ovulation calculator, I'm "supposed" to ovulate around August 1-August 8. DH and I are going on a trip to Mexico in two weeks to get so rest and to catch up with one another since DD's birth. I guess I will try it around those time since we're going on August 2... hopefully, I will have so good news.
I can't wait for my body to be normal again... I used to have regular cycles (same day every month). ARGH!!! don't you just miss those days?
I'm crossing my fingers for August and will probably be DTD as much as we can in Mexico since it's much harder with DD is around.... I will keep everyone posted if something happens... will try HPT around August 20... By then, DD will be 9 months and 1 1/2 week. Hope my body will take me up for it!
Thank you. I will definitely enjoy the week off. I can't wait till it comes (then I'm sure it will go by fast!) Oh well, at least I can have some time with DH alone while DD stays with my parents!
I'll keep everyone posted if something great comes out of my vacation especially if I could announce myself to be an expectant again!
i'm very new here & i don't have any advice to give but i wanted to send a big good luck your way & i hope you have a lovely, relaxing holiday...and a successful one
I would agree with the others it takes a while for your cycle to get back to normal and sometimes normal is not the same as it used to be, I went from a 28day cycle with a 7 day period to a 21 sometimes longer with a 3 day heavy period.
Treat this cycle as all fresh and enjoy your holiday, it's usually when you relax that it all falls into place.
I have had a series of MC's and my cycle always was messed up after that and they were all around 3 months or less so going full term you would imagine messes with it even more add to that BF and BC pill.
Good luck and enjoy your holiday!!!!!
