Tara - breast feeding didn't do jack for my weight. Who knows, maybe I would have been fatter longer if I hadn't, but it sure didn't seem to make a difference. I nursed the youngest for a year, and I had a 3yr old & 9 year old at the time. Still a fat ass. I think making time for yourself to work out & getting as much sleep as possible are really what helps the most if you aren't genetically blessed with shedding gained pounds, and I think age has a lot to do with it, too.

So I just got my progesterone results back from CD 21. They were .7!!! The lady said they should have been at least 15 if I have O'd!!! Has anyone heard of progesterone levels being so low before??? I usually have 29 day cycles like clockwork!!!!!

Actually the test was done Valentine's day, the day of a crazy temp drop and CD 22, if that makes a difference.

Memphrika - that does sound really low. I don't know what normal ranges are. I wonder why you didn't O?

Memphrika- that means you probably didn't o this cycle.mine was that low when I was diagnosed with pcos. And if your progesterone was that low you may not start.

Tara- my sister lost a lot of weight while breast feeding my niece. She is about 5'4" 160 mostly boobs lol. She started showing around 16 weeks with her current pregnancy.

Afm I think there is something going on, I am still bleeding which def isn't normal at cd 11.

Athena - are you still taking Vitex?

Yea I am phat. I am taking evening primrose oil and took soy days 2-6.

yes I most definitely do and this cycle seems to be the worst yet! my daughter was born sleeping back in aug at 23w3d .. and we started ttc right away and that was only 5cycles ago my cycles seem to have gotten back on track again but just this last cycle I o'ed later then usual so it has thrown off my usual 29 day cycle a few days later so now I feel like i am going crazy over the fact that at 29cd I should of had af which hasn't come yet I tested at 10dpo bfn and again at 12dpo still bfn... no af and signs of it but of course in my mind im thinking well if get my hopes up of it not coming it will then I play the disappointed game... my bbs have been sore last couple days and I have abnormal headaches... it is driving me crazy!!!!

Renc23 - I am so sorry to her about your daughter. I hope your BFP comes your way very soon.

Athena - the Vitex seemed to lengthen my entire cycle including the umber of days I bled.
