So last night I had a little spotting and was completely confused since I was only CD26 and usually O CD15-18. I had used OPKs from CD12-21 and never got a surge, but AF came tonight so that explains it - I O'd REALLY early this month. Which I'm still confused by, and a bit concerned - and realize there's NO possible way I could have gotten pg this month with when I O'd (DH had the stomach virus CD10-11 and we skipped BD but I figured I was OK since I'd usually don't O til later).
Anyway, DS has been really frustrated at the breast this week and I got extremely upset today thinking my milk supply is gone - now I feel SOOO much better b/c I normally have a dip in supply a few days before AF so it explains it all!
And, now if I get pg any month going forward my maternity leave will take me into 2010 so I don't have to put aside any 2009 vacation time for #2, which is great since now I can work PT over the summer and hang with DS!
So, I'm out - but I'm relieved - it makes things make a bit more sense for me and now I know to start with OPKs earlier going forward. I was getting so frustrated this month and worried my body was off - or I can't use a freakin OPK, but now I feel better about it all.
Plus, CD1 today means there's hope for a Valentine's baby
