Delivery to Pregnancy???

[1st_Time]

:help:This question is for all of you that have already had at least one child previously.:help:

My DD is going to be 4mo. in the next couple of weeks an I am getting some strange syptoms. I'm wondering if this is the same thing you all have gone through as your body goes back to normal or is there more to it. (some of these are the same as when I was pg with dd):confused:

Be forewarned I will be a little graphic.:gross:

Lochia stopped at 4w, stopped bf at 2 1/2mo. felt great till it started...

4w ago -depressed

3w ago -increased acne
-more frequent urination
-increased appetite
-increased heartburn

2w ago -menstral like cramps
-nasuea when standing up suddenly
-mucas (sp?) discharge

1w ago -sore breasts
-fatigue

and most of these symptoms continue to this day with no :af: to speak of yet.

I took a pg test that was left from before dd (just for the hell of it) about 3 days ago and it was :I:

Any advice you could share would be much appreciated.

as your body starts to gear up to ovulate again, you will see various hormonal changes. since you stopped bfing, your cycle is probably trying to start up again. what you should see is an increase of cervical mucus as your body gears up for ovulation. you may see a pattern of increasing cm and then nothing. your body has to produce enough estrogen before you will start your cycle.

before i started my cycle, i had periods of increased cm and felt as if i was about to start, but didnt. so it's totally normal. although, if you are having unprotected sex, you can take another test in a week or so, just to be on the safe side.

if you dont have it yet, i highly recommend reading "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. It is a great read, even if you are not trying to become pregnant. it really helped me to understand my body and what was going on with it.

Sounds like PMS to me.
