Nowit's just mocking me.....

....my body that is.

Ever since I had ds2 in June 2010, my body has been all over the place.  I went back on the low hormone pill 2 months after delivery and bled for 3 months straight.  So then they changed me back to the pill I was on before I conceived and it was going pretty good until this past summer.  I was turning into a major witch and was a horrible person to be around.  I spoke with the dr and since we wanted to start ttc in a couple months they said I may want to stop taking them.  That is what I chose to do in December.

Since then my mood has changed for the better and people at work have noticed the change.  But my body has me confused.  I got my first cycle after stopping like clockwork.....December 25th (Merry Chritsmas to me =/).  Anywhoo, then it came 2 days early in January on the 19th.  Didn't think that much of it since I know your body needs adjustment time after the pill.  Well this time it came a whole week early!  Wasn't suppose to be here until the 16th and was in full force on Saturday night.  So much for Valentine's Night. 

I'm just curious how often this happens to others.  I used to be so regular....I could circle the day af should be coming the next month and it always did.  Now its all over the place.  I feel like my body is mocking me.  You want your attitude to get better???  Haha, I'll make your af all jacked up in it's place.

I want to start ttc in June/July and I'm getting worried that my body isn't going to cooperate this time around.  It's always been so easy for us, but now I'm thinking that these issues may be a warning of hard times to come.

You've still got a few months yet before you're TTC, so I think you may be needlessly worrying.

It can take a few months for your cycle to get back to normal after taking the pill, you just never know. Relax, because stressing yourself out definitely isn't going to help you get back into a normal rhythm.

So relax, take a deep breath! Don't overthink it and just look forward to when you start TTC'ing! :)

I know that it can take a few cycles to get back to 'normal'.  It's just that after the last couple of months and the cervical bioposies and finally getting the ok to ttc if we want to, this is the last thing I wanted.  It may sound silly to some, but I've just been so worried about even being able to get preggers again.  With my first two it happened right away so I never had to really worry like this.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.  It means alot.  =)

No prob hun, I just don't want you to stress yourself out so much so that you end up making your TTC journey harder, because the stress definitely DOESN'T help. And I know that's easier said than done!

Just give it some time, because you've got a few months yet! :)

I honestly wouldn't worry...even if your af is all over the place...you can still get preggers pretty easy

My cycles were ALL over the place...they were never the same twice. I would have a 32dc one month and the next would be 24days...then 40day then 26days...it was always a crapshoot so I could never figure out when I ovulated
So I just tried OPK's and on the first try it worked...did the deed the day I got two dark lines and that was all it took

But anyway back to the point..this is the EXACT reason I am not on the pill now after having my son...I've heard it can take a year to get back to normal after going off the pill....
