Well BG - you gave me a revelation! lol.

I've only had AF back once since Nate was born - on the first day of our Lindeman Island holiday in early december BUT since then for a couple of days I had hugely sensitive nipples - I thought i had thrush, but I bet you're right. It was O! Whatdya know....so yes in answer to that q. Nate however is a guts and would feed all day if I let him so I didn't notice any fussiness. I can't remember with Darcy.

After my first c/s no, I didn't notice that O was more painful but I have had some nasty cramps over the last couple of months, so I'm thinking that this time something has changed.

I always got really nasty AF pain for a whole 7 days before it, but this time I have noticed severe nausea added into the mix as well. However I don't know if that's due to the c/s or the fact that I've now had 2 children and it's been a really long time since my hormones were in balance and allowed to do their own thing IYKWIM? I can't tell you the time between O and AF since I've only had one noticed cycle - but now you mention it I'm going to track just to see.
