So, M was born on October 1, 2016 ️️️. My husband has been ready for another since Thanksgiving. I needed more time and wanted to wait for an 18 month age gap. Now, I'm really struggling with the anxiety. When we tried for M, I stopped my birth control on October 1st, 2015, didn't have a real cycle in October or November. Had a real cycle in December, then got pregnant in January. Since M was born, I haven't really had a period. I breastfed for 6 months, and right after I weaned, had all the hormonal stuff, but no bleeding. I expected one when I stopped my bc in April, but again just hormonal stuff and no bleeding. I haven't bled since my PP bleeding stopped at about 8 weeks. Now I'm really nervous that I'm not ovulating or having a real cycle. Anyone have a similar experience? I'm temping and I have OPKs but I have no idea how or even when to use them, especially since I have no idea where in my cycle I am.

My son turned 3 in March, and my husband and I decided in late January we were ready to pull the goalie - I was maid of honour at an overseas wedding in Jan and really didn't want to be pregnant or recently delivered, so we were very careful all through last year. We are both on the fence a bit about having a second but we agree we want our son to have a sibling...I think neither of us would be completely devastated if we didn't conceive. Whereas when we were trying for #1, every month would be devastating and I'd be in a funk for days or weeks, this time around when I get my period I just think, oh well. So for now we're just rolling with the punches and seeing what will come. If it gets to a year of trying and still nothing, we would probably consider seeing an OB, or reevaluating what we want. We both agree (and agreed before #1) that we wouldn't go through invasive fertility procedures. So thats where we're at!

@bhbee: Ahhhh that's good to know...I stopped feeding her the very beginning of April, but I stayed on bc a few weeks after that. I've never been good at tracking my cm. Last time, I was temping and I knew I ovulated bc the symptoms were so obvious (which was a surprise to me since I've been on bc forever and have never noticed my ovulation before). I'm temping now but it's so hard to tell. I think I'm going to wait until the end of the week, test, and then evaluate if I should see the OB about my concerns. I'm a little scared that my endo is going to come raging back and I'll want to go back on bc.

@periwinklebee: Thanks, unfortunately I had a bad experience with a followup antibiotic and it caused an ulcer in my esophagus. So I had a pretty crummy week after the D&C. Everyone should learn from my mistake and take their medication with water and not right at bedtime!

Whomp, another cycle down for me.
I was 4 days late this weekend and got my hopes way up - was feeling lightheaded, a bit nauseous, and emotional...symptoms I definitely recognised from my early pregnancy with my son.
Woke up this morning feeling so hopeful and there was my period.
Oh well - back to square one again!

I held off on joining since I'm trying to limit my time on here, but what the hell.

Months trying: Currently in 5th month trying after a termination for medical reasons at 19.5 weeks. We were going to hold off this month since I ended up with a UTI, but decided to just go for it anyway.
Any infertility diagnosis: None
Your age: 29
Currently seeing OBGYN or RE: OB
Current cycle phase: CD 23, I think 4dpo

My termination was for a fluke chromosome abnormality, which we were told was just bad luck and something that happens randomly. I understand this, but I'm starting to worry a little about why we haven't conceived again yet, though the idea of doing any sort of fertility testing is super unappealing to me at the moment.

@Umbreon: I'm on month 14 over here and I'm also 27. We were labeled unexplained because everything came back normal. It is so frustrating.
