*Waving hands furiously*

Hello everyone, I have a very serious personal service announcement for you.  I started my period.  I. Started. My. Period.  Is that serious enough for you?  Probably not a  big deal to anyone but me, but hey, this here site is all about me, so BIG deal.  Very big deal.  It’s weird because it sort of came out of nowhere.  Well, I felt like shit on Sunday but I just thought I was getting sick and I also ate an entire pan of double fudge brownies but that isn’t really out of the ordinary except I usually would have baked turtle brownies as opposed to double fudge so I guess it’s the double fudge aspect that makes it out of the ordinary.

Anyhow, I about fell over when I realized my period had come back to visit again.  I had started to think I was never going to have a period while I was still breastfeeding so imagine  my surprise when I realized what was happening. For some reason I have an intense urge to tell everyone that I meet that I have started my period (I suppose writing about it here is sort of like doing that…no?)  I feel like a 13 year old girl just getting her first period all over again.  I mean it has been two years to the day since I had my last period (Crazy huh?) so I am rather out of practice.

So yes, November 20th will forever be known as my “Return to Fertility” day or better yet “Commencement of the Moon Flow” day to sound all new agey and stuff.  Ah yes, I feel a little weird.  I also remember how much of a pain in the ass having a period is.  I can’t believe I forgot.  Why did I want my period back again?  I can’t seem to remember anymore.  Stupid hormones.

    congratulations???
    or, sorry.

    I don’t know what to say!

    I was not looking forward to getting my period again after having Gage…but mine didn’t stay gone as long as yours.

    Now, I get it every month. Not fun.

    Two years! I think I went…um…like a year and a half?

    I also posted when I got mine back and had the same experience as you–forgot what it was like to feel it coming so was very surprised. And now I get it every month. And what a hassle!

    Well, anyway, have fun! (Ha).
