Thanks so much everyone. That's esactly whatI needed- just to know I'm not strange, I think. I just expected that because this labor and recovery was so much easier, I'd get AF back sooner? I'm not sure why.

Jen, I do have a bit of help at the moment but it just doesn't seem to be cutting it- I'm a bottomless well of need! I feel like if I had a 24 hour maid it still wouldn't be enough (nice, though).

I'm on the multi vitamins and I get full bloods done every six months or so because of my heart condition- I'm not anemic, or thyroid-y or anything like that.

Arcadia, thanks so much for your post. I hadn't realized until I read it just how much the asexual elelment was bothering- I never thought I'd say it, but I miss that ripe, full feeling.

Thanks again everybody
