    Thanks for your reply, mbear . Good to hear that the increased CM was a sign of your fertility returning. I will keep my fingers crossed to see AF before too long.

    Hi Bun, I don't think we'll be so lucky unfortunately! Have appointment booked with FS for the 1st of June to see where to go from here. Just would like my body to get its act together by itself. Stoopid hormones.

    I've been wondering the same thing. I would be interested in other responses. The last few months I've been thinking AF was coming but to not avail. My skin has turned horrible and I've been getting moody and having cramps.

    Hey Honeybee
    I too am awaiting my cycle to return although I am no-where near as long as you.

    I stopped breastfeeding 2 weeks ago for numerous reasons.

    We are alrteady TTC and hoping I catch ovulation the very first time and that I don't see AF.
    I'm using OPK so should stand a good chance.

    I have noticed increased CM like you, creamy not EWCM and my hair has been greasier, have also
    had some aches in lower ab region like the cogs are statring to turn so to speak.

    Good luck and I hope you get your cycle back asap.

    Just thought Id update on my above post.......

    AF arrived yesterday, so approx 4 weeks after my last night feed and 2 weeks after my last breastfeed.

    I had a defo presence of cramy discharge before hand.

    As I said above we are already TTC so unfortunately we missed OV which i'm a bit puzzled about as I was using OPK on a daily basis.

    Anyway I now have a AF and can work it for this next cycle which will hopefully be a little more predictive.

    I am still bf my dd. She was getting down to 4 a day then she got a cold and a spewing tummy bug so she wouldn't eat anything, she only wanted breastmilk. So now she's back up to about 5-6 in a 24 hr period. She must still be a little off cause she's still not eating much and woke my last night twice for feeds (she normally sleeps through). The last 2 days I have had a LOT of creamy (once it has dried a little) but watery cm. Tonight I actually thought af was back and I ran to the bathroom cause it was almost like a gush!! I have had minor cramping yesterday and more serious cramping today, so that makes me think I have either have implantation cramping or af is on her way... Or lily has given me her tummy bug, but the pain is a bit too low for that. Will keep you posted.
