but I suppose it fits best here. *shrug*

I'm a little confused over here. PPAF has not appeared yet. This is the longest I've gone after any of my kids were born (of course I'm not complaining!) I'm just really watching for signs since I am used to things getting into gear around now. Anyway, here are my issues. A few weeks ago I started to have EWCM. I thought for sure PPAF was on the way. But then nothing. Since then, I have had EWCM on and off. And the last week I have had intermittent cramping. But still no signs of PPAF. What gives? Any ideas? Maybe my body is just taking it's sweet 'ol time getting back in gear, but in the meantime, I'm just anxious for this to be, well, *something*. And of course, a bit anxious to be officially TTC again too! :mrgreen:

It sounds like it is likely that you had a couple of false starts. The body can start to gear up to ovulate and then give up because of the competition of the breastfeeding hormones. This "tug of war" phenomon (sp?) is often seen in breastfeeding women.

On the other hand, it may not have been a false alarm. It may have been a real ovulation and you may have caught the first egg postpartum, hence your lack of PPAF! Have you POAS to rule out that possibility?

If you want to TTC, you don't have to wait until you've had a cycle. Get out a chart and start charting your CM and taking temps. When you see fertile quality CM, BD. If you see a sustained temp rise, wait for 11-14 days and take a pg. test. If it's positive, then ask me and I'll tell you how to calculate a due date from an NFP chart, instead of using an LMP.

GL!
