You can get pregnant without a cycle. I did 3 times. I just noticed more EWCM return and then checked my OS which was open.

I'm not sure what these acronyms mean   Any help?

EWCM= egg white cervical mucous. OS is the opening to the cervix.

Hi again!  Just wanted to update you that after almost 22 months I finally got my AF!  DD nightweaned exactly two weeks ago all by herself and voila!

My cycle started back up on dd's first birthday. Seemed pretty bittersweet to me. I was hoping for a little longer run without it.

great info!

Ava's Mama- I love the idea of DD self-weaning at night! Especialaly now with molars and canines coming in, we are going hours of nursing at night.  Thanks for the inspiration- let's see where we are in a few months. Maybe Af will return  like this here too-fingers and toes crossed!
