that is...Here's my chart I can't believe I only had a 5 day lp.
It stayed away a month longer this time. It doesn't even have a reason for coming back either...Actually I'm quite surprised I got it back. I mean Hayden doesn't sleep through the night, although sometimes he'll do a 6 hour stretch and he did go 8 hours last night (very unusual for him). And he gets very little solids and still nurses the same. He has a small handful of cheerios mid-morning and a small handful of chunked fruit or veggie in the evening. He doesn't even have a sippy of water yet like his brother did at this point. Maybe it's because I've been working (not very hard though) on getting Xander down to 2 nursings/day.

Is it good or bad that she came back? It sucks that she came back but at least you don't have to wonder when anymore, I guess. At least you went a month longer though! At least you can keep charting and figure out a bit more though.

Both, I guess. I mean we aren't going to really try for about 2 more months. Good because I don't have to wonder when and if it'll be back when we do want to start trying.

Hey, I want her to visit, lol. I think it's wonderful she's back for you because, like you said, it will make ttc much easier when the time comes. So what did you decide with ttc and the vacation?

You know, mine came back at 4 months this time (7-8 months last time), despite nursing round the clock and no other form of supplementation, so I don't think there is any rhyme or reason to it except how our bodies respond to our hormones. Don't you hate that initial short lp phase? Will you do anything to try to lengthen it or let it happen naturally? It took mine quite a while - maybe a year? - to get to 10+ days. Mine is still short now too. Well, congrats on PPAF. I feel like you do - it's kind of a pain to get it back but it does help in planning and knowing each month if you're preggo or not. Good luck!

I'll wait a couple months before I start taking B6 again. It worked for me last time. Another thing is Hayden is a thumb sucker, so I forgot about that. He uses it when he is tired.

Yup, my boy does suck his fingers to soothe himself too you reminded me.
