AF arrived...and I have nothing to do!

Hello,
Just a little post - AF arrived yesterday, and for the first time in how many years, it means nothing, no ringing clinics, no tears, no charting CD1, no counting days till the next cycle to start a FET, injections etc etc etc...wow is this how 'normal' women feel

it's weird isn't it?

It is so bizarre, although for me AF arrived back the week before Xmas and I have been waiting to see when she turns up again (nothing yet 5 weeks later) to see if my body has realised what it is suppose to do or if I'm back on the same prepregnancy merry-go-round...

Certainly does feel strange but so relieving after years of TTC!

LOL FG I'm really glad that there is no pressure or stress involved with AF showing up at this point. Yay! You get to enjoy not having to think about your cycle other than dealing with AF being around, and that is a wonderful thing after all you've been through! Enjoy it, hun!

...of course there are probs with AF coming back...when we went for our 6wk check up post DS's birth I did not go back on the pill - not like there is any chance of us falling pg unexpectedly...but now we are booked to go to Thailand for a holiday, right when AF will be due next and I have no way of controlling it Oh well, maybe it will be random for a while and stay away while we play on the beach

Smithy - thanks for the comment about the ticker - we think he is cute!

Hey FG

It may take a while to get back on track. I'm still waiting for AF to show up again (it is now almost 7 weeks), here was me thinking ah after having a baby my body would get into gear and do what it is supposed to do but it seems it has gone back to it's old ways and AF may not show her head for ages.

So instead of now waiting for AF to turn up to plan cycles etc, it seems we are now monitoring AF to get on with our lives normally. I'm sure it has been positively ages that you would have been worrying about a holiday and AF arriving. Maybe this is what normal women deal with....
