Hi....

I had my son on march 28th. Since.. like clockwork.. on the 28th of april.. may.. june I got my period. the july started on the 22nd and ended 5 days later. DH & I "bd" yesterday afternoon and after one hour. .I began to spot.. using a panty liner. When I got up this am.. I had dark heavy flow. Since.. its been about 12 hrs.. its gone to a very light flow. Should I consider this another period or a possible m/c?

I have bought a OPT and would like to know if I start it counting yesterday as day one of my cycle or base it on the expected dates 19-21st of August assuming I get a period then? Should I wait to see & then start the OPT? And when should I start the OPT testing? Yea... We're tryin for number 2 as I'm not getting any younger!!! I'm 40 and will be 41 in November.

TIA for any input...

I would think you had another period....having your period on the EXACT SAME DAY actually means your period has been slightly IRREGULAR, since all those months do not have the same ammount of days in them....make sense? That, and a normal womans body takes up to 6 months to get back hormonally to where it was pre-baby. It sounds like your cycle is just varying in days, but it's not too bad.

Good luck and HTH....

Hi...

thanks & so you think I should count today as day one?

The Dr told me 6 months too... I'm close, as my son is 5 months old this month. It was strange.. cuz I had that EWCM as I've read about when we "bd" I dunno!!

I'm goin to chart my temp too this month..and see what that does for me. I've never done that so its new & any suggestions on that process would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Thanks again and I'll talk to ya soon...
