First PPAF!!

[buttercup_97140]

Yeah!! (if we can say that about having AF!) I got my first PPAF the other day. At first I thought I over did it with exercise and it caused me to start bleeding again, but after looking back on the past few days, it seems obvious that I was super PMsing!! LOL!
It's weird to have AF so soon after giving birth. With DD, I didn't get my first PPAF until she was about 9 months old.
So, I guess I can start tracking things better!!

Here's to officially TTC!!

Blessings,
Amber

Praying for your TTC journey!!!

Praying for you Amber! And yay for AF (I know it's the one time we will rejoice for seeing her :wink: )!!!

I was the same. I bled for 2-3 weeks, the very next month she came and every month since then. She really isn't welcomed anymore!!!!!

I have to say, I forgot how much I didn't live having AF! Lochia is ok to deal with because it means you just had a baby, but AF, yuck! I have only had two AF's, not counting this one, since November of '04....LOL! I just have to stay pregnant and/or breastfeeding until I go into menopause, and I will be happy! :lol:

saved....I hope AF gets a good kick in the back side at your house, and realizes that it's time to go!

Blessings,
Amber

That's great Amber!

I will be praying for you too, and I hope you have good news to share sooner rather than later :D !

Hey congrats Amber! Yea it does seem a little early but then i'm sure that there is a wide range in how long it takes women to AF after giving birth. My sister had her first and got pregnant with her second before she had a period so she didn't have one in over 19 months!

Thank you everyone! It feels good to get back to "normal." I was a bit concerned because when my first PPAF came after DD was born it was 18 days long, I had HUGE clots...(nice TMI huh?) and almost bled to death. We were out of town, and I was NOT going to a hospital in another state. (Long story, but Dh and I have been to so many hospitals due to stuff) I had to go on birth control pills for a month to get my hormones back into gear. I did get pg after I stopped the BCP, but I do not like taking them. So, this PPAF was getting REALLY heavy yesterday and I was getting concerned that it was doing the same thing. I prayed so much about it yesterday, and the Lord has been so good AGAIN! Praise him for his faithfulness. He's just so amazing! Today, it's been pretty normal and lighter. I praise Him, and will keep praying that it stays normal! :-D

Can I say how TIRED I am of pads? They suck!

Blessings,
Amber

[savedbygrace]

They really do! But tampons i guess aren't good for when you are ttc. Did you know that? I just learned about it. It's only bad when you pull them out dry. I forget the full reason but something about blocking the ducks that create your fertile cm.???? Anyhow......

Glad to hear good news!

[Godzgirl]

Praying for you amber. :D And i must saw i guess i'm an odd duck in this catergory because i always got my AF like a month or two after giving birth :? (and yes i did breastfeed). It would've been nice to have it gone longer...ah well. :wink:
