AF is here again....
I've had a few of these since Maura's birth. The symptoms are so much worse than before my pregnancy with her. When I ovulated last, I had so much pain that it hurt when I stepped on that side! I hope that it all mellows a bit after a while. I'll talk to my doctor about it when I see him (I keep forgetting to make that appointment!)
Dh doesn't really relate to these pains. How do you explain what cramps feel like? They don't feel like any other type of cramping that he might recognize. Any thoughts?
And I know that I said that we aren't TTC again yet, and I'm really not ready. But I'm a little sad to see AF. Weird, huh? I'm not ready for another baby, but I kinda want one anyway. I think that I'm just a little sad about Maura growing up so quickly. Or it's just the PMS talking...

Whenever AF is here for me Dave just doesn't understand...he's of the philosophy that "blood letting" is good for the body and he gives blood regularly (every six weeks) so that should somehow be comparable. I've told him that when a python comes to squeeze him around the middle to let the blood out slowly over the course of five days while he eats chocolate bars covered in salt and doesn't feel much like doing anything else as there's a python squeezing him to death, we can call it comparable.
I just had my first PP AF and it was so hard to see her come. Weird. We're not TTC now either, but it still depressed me as if I were. Then came the migraines that used to accompany her and I remembered why I was so happy to see her go (besides the obvious, of course). I asked Brian last night if I could get pg again now... darn migraines. ;)
I don't know of any way to convey what it's like. I think men just can't understand it.
