lol snap SamiH - my AF has arrived again too. Guess I'm on a regular cycle already 29 days...

How do you know you're on a 29-day cycle if you only just started menstruating again?

Second time I've had AF - got it for the first time last month. And yeah I assume the AF abbreviation is american... but guess I've just used it cos everyone else does... lol I'm a sheep then

Hmm it will be interesting to see if I am back on the perfect 28-day cycle or if that was just because of the pill. I'm not on the pill now.

I have to admit, I haven't had sex since Jude was born. I've been way too tired, but now that Jude goes to bed at 6.30pm I think it's time. Am I the only one?

KURAIZA I wish you can tell my DH that. We've DTD (done the deed) about 4 times since BJ was born (5.5months ago) & he thinks he's got it bad. AF is quite a silly way to disguise menstration. Like Belfie... I'm just a sheep too

CSAB I never ended up getting AF TWL. Just a thought.. Maybe this is my AF??? Just clear

PP That's great that you haven't had AF for that long. And that you got your BFP while BF. I should be well & truely finished BF by the time we TTC again. We're starting in Jan 2010, BJ will be 1yr 3mth (corrected). I plan to finish BF when he's 1yr (corrected) in Oct. So maybe I won't get AF till I stop BF... That'd be nice

TERU The tell tale sign for me is the EWCM (egg white cervical mucus) but not everyone gets it. You can also take your temperature every morning & see when your temp jumps up, that means you've ovulated. Also your cervix becomes open & high (yes, that means you have to feel 'up there'). If you're really keen, there's a charting programme called fertility friend Fertility Friend OnLine

oh goodness we haven't DTD at all! My episiotomy took so long to heal (well it didn't heal properly) and now of course it's less than 2 weeks since it was repaired.

DH said rather mournfully the other day that we only DTD 4 times last year and it's true! How sad is that! Twice to conceive X. Then once in first trimester which resulted in bleeding & spotting and we were told to avoid DTD, plus he was waaaay too scared after that. Then in second trimester I had a huge scare and we were told bubs wouldn't make it (at 21.5 weeks) - turned out to be a false alarm, was just a vaginal prolapse. Then DH was too scared again (thought my vagina would fall out I'm sure!). Then in third trimester I bullied him into it (lol!) to try bring on labour - but that was only the once too... I think his words were "novelty value!"... and of course since then it's been episiotomy land.

I tried to console him by saying don't worry, we'll do it at least once this year to create #2... . Lucky they don't forget how to do it haha! Poor DH.

Oh and he WAS faking me out yesterday - I got a Valentine's Day pressie this morning, two nice glasses sneaky man tehe.

Hollye - Thanks.. I'll have to look for the BLS threads. And find some time to read them too!

Georgi - Maya has also been different lately. Waking more and at odd times and crying more. But I have no idea if it's teething, growth spurt, making up for the period where she didn't eat well, etc...

kuraiza - I didn't know what AF was either. Then Tanstar mentioned a great thread which has abbreviations and what they mean: here Now when I don't know what something means I go look it up there. Good to hear Jude is OK! This morning my DH was holding Maya while she was standing and he must not have been supporting her properly cos she did a head dive and I thought for sure she was gonna end up on the floor but he caught her just in time!

I managed to get up and go to my massage today and I'm glad I did. I'm feeling good now! Though I was very annoyed when she was running half hour late. That's an extra half hour of sleep I could have gotten.

Maya woke a couple of times last night. She seems to sleep so much lighter now too - any little noise disturbs her. I don't know why?!

• I've pretty much always had a 26 - 28 day cycle so assume also that my next one will be on time, I am paying for it now though - the PAIN
• observe bodies signs for ovulation - as Georgi said EWCM and temp are the best to observe, start now so you know what is "normal" for you
• can i just say (cos I am crabby) that whoever does BLS and who doesn't - doesnt mean one is better than the other - we just do what we feel is right for our bubs and our families adn I dont want anyone to feel bad with what they are doing etc ...
• DTD about 6 times - first few times are damn awful though and i am quite nervous so its just to make sure everything still works really
• Anyway, I'm glad as soon as mine returned you all followed suit. Is this the online equivalent of when a group of women live together? Hahahaha
• teeth - i dunno Georgi but i have a cranky boy alot of the day at the moment too and it makes me sad! And then he does a huge poo and smiles for a couple of hours, might try infants friend again (thanks for reminder belfie) he must get one heck of a tummy ache
• we went to a new tea house this arvo when R on a playdate for tea and cake - it was looooooooooovely .... i had vanilla tea - not very adventurous cos Giselle wanted to share with me
• So, Zander has slept for a total of about 1.5 hrs today and is already in bed, scared about the rest of the night!!!
• back tomorrow after a sleep

Tanya - hope you had a better night.

SamiH - ditto for you! And lol re the women all living together.

X decided to feed at 10.30pm, 2.30am and 7.30am... what the?? Dunno where that came from - oh well, guess he just thought he needed more. hoping he'll sleep for aaaaages this morning.

And I finally won something on ebay! Woo hoo a bottle & food warmer.
