My son is alomst 13 months old. He was conveived with injectables/IUI. I nursed and pumped for a year after his birth and for my period on my own on his first birthday, about 3 weeks after I stopped pumping (although I still nurse twice a day). I haven't gotten a second period yet, so I don't know if I am cycling or if the period I got was a fluke. Prior to my son's birth I got my period about 3 times a year on my own. I am wondering what people's experience has been with cycles post birth and getting pregnant without treatments. If you starting cycling, was your period very regular or still irregular? ]]> Pregnant Cysters Jbz http://www.soulcysters.net/showthread.php/347773-Conceiving-naturally-after-first-baby X-post Looking for VBAC stories http://www.soulcysters.net/showthread.php/347762-X-post-Looking-for-VBAC-stories?goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 03:17:38 GMT I have talked with my Dr quite a bit about a VBAC, and she thinks I am a very good candidate for a VBAC (which is what I prefer), and she is very supportive, as is the hospital I am going to.

I had a girl from one of my forums do it for me and am curious to see if anyone else had heard of it. She says she thinks I'll have a girl based on my Free HCG, PAPP-A and nuchal translucency measurement as well as the MoM numbers. She's correctly predicted all three if her babies using the numbers found in this study:

It’s amazing how you can go from the high of a positive hpt (first one EVER) to a ball of nerves in one day. Has anyone had this low of a number and still had a successful pregnancy? Any information you have would be greatly appreciated.

The hubby and I stopped ttc when we found out he needed surgery because he had bad morphology, that was 3 yrs ago. Since then we just haven't tried, plus I didn't ovulate on my own, I'd have to take pills for that. Anyway about a month ago I changed the way I ate and started working out, trying to get healthy and in shape. Af didn't show when she was supposed to last month but I read a change in diet and exercise can kinda change it so I didn't think anything more about it. I'm 20 days late so I decided to test just in case, and got what looks like a BFP. Now my question is can there be a false positive? Should I take another brand of test?
