When I came off BCP, my first cycle was 95 days of sheer hell so I know what you are going through! I really celebrated getting that first AF as I didnt expect that - last time I came off BCP my cycle returned very quickly!
Im surprised that BF can keep AF away for that long.
Bf kept af away for 17 months after ds 3. This time I've had 1 cycle and ds4 is 7 months. I have a box of Betty Crocker devils food cake mix and frosting in the cupboard to be made when af shows. I usually bake everything myself but I can't get a chocolate cake as good as that myself lol

Wow - I only BF for 6 months and was stupidly on the pill so I don't know what would have happened to me. That cake mix sounds great!!
i think ive wished so many times for a girl now that im out of wishes lol, even though im a busy bee everyday i imagine what it would be like to finally give birth to a girl and what she would look like cause all my boys look the same so ive always had a rough idea before they were born,i think id go into shock having a girl, so many people dont understand the need for a baby girl when i have 5 kids already but this is the last chance, comon pink fairy dust blow my way lol x
Butterflywarbie, I was just saying to dh last night that it's as well we know this baby is a girl because I think, if my reaction to reading the harmony report is anything to go by, if id found out at birth I think I would have hyperventilated and gone into shock. Especially after the emotions of just giving birth + hormones. This is dhs 5th child but first daughter xx
I have the same feeling ^...my boys for the most part look the same and my husband and I always wondered what our little girl would look like. Plus I was a daddy's girl and would love to see that relationship between my daughter and husband. This is my first sway attempt for a girl so I'm keeping hope alive!!
I am sorry you are having a rough time Weezie!! I am sure it is hard not having AF to know that you can attempt. I am sure you are feeling overwhelmed because it seems the end of the LE diet is nowhere in sight. Hang in there!!
My boys and my DD all looked almost identical at birth. DS1 and DD still look the same. Sometimes I look at their baby pictures and it is a little creepy how much they look alike. Of coarse DD is always in pink so that is a dead give away:)
Congrats on another pink bundle!
Most days I feel fine but there are days or even just moments when I feel like I'm kidding myself! I think I've imagined my daughter since I was a kid! I never considered the possibility that I'd not get a girl! As we've always wanted four or five kids, hopefully I will still get my dream.
Maybe you can ease up on the diet a bit since AF isn't here. When I dieted (for many many many months) my mind set was more on decreasing overall health. I ate foods I liked I just ate mostly crappy ones (if that makes sense?).
You're probably right. The thing is that I stuck really well to LE last time, with a couple of cheats at AF, but my diet consisted of healthy veggies and wholegrain naturally low fat foods. With hindsight I think I was eating too healthily really. Still getting quite a lot of nutrients. So I'm pretty determined this time to eat more rubbish! I've never eaten so much processed food!
