Will my temp stay up tomorrow? I've had like 3 weeks of more fertile mucus in a row with only a couple of random dry days thrown in. My temps started leveling off and now my temp is 0.2 degrees higher. I really hope that it's ovulation and not a fake one!

I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings. It'd be kind of nice to get back to cycles after 22 months without! I've been married for almost 4 1/2 years and have only had two periods that entire time.

Yep, only two. Don't know what I'll do with cycles when they come back, lol.

Yeah, you might even want to invest in mama cloth or something. But the thing is, buying it is a guarantee that you'll be pregnant the next month. LMHO.

Even the idea of getting my cycles back at 13 months seems "early" LOL. But my little guy is different than Hannah was. He eats a ton of food and actually sleeps quite a bit at night, so that affects things. Hannah was nursing every 2 hours around the clock at his age.

Also, we put him in his own bed and room, because nobody was sleeping well with co-sleeping anymore. He's sleeping much better outside of our bed. Some kids just need their space, I think.

Exactly LOL That's why I've not gotten mama cloth yet...because by the time I thought about it..started thinking, oh, it's nearing that time...hey maybe I'll do cloth .... by the time I could start getting money together, there was no longer a need LOL

And yes, some kids just need their space. Eldest was in his own bed for the first part of the night at 6 months. The others were closer to a year, each varied, but all hit that time when no one was sleeping well. Once they went to their beds, it was much better, they slept like rocks. :)

If you are handy with sewing you could try sewing your own. Or, I found economical mama cloth on hyena cart.

Wow... I mean a BIG wow...TWO?! I nurse exclusively for at *least* the first 6-8 months, and then they get whatever they have interest in... and I co-sleep... and still I Get AF around 3 months PP. Every-single-time. I'm so jealous right now it's not even funny. ::Snort::

I like the break too, but I'm actually glad to see that it looks like AF may be coming back, because with NFP, it's easier to know exactly what's going on when your cycles are back. When I'm dry, dry, dry all the time, lactational amenorrhea is fine, but when I started having mucus every day and we started having lots of abstinence because of ambiguity, that's when I prefer having AF back.
