Yesterday's vagina handling went extremely well. All bits are back in order after my cesarean. I've healed really nicely and the scar looks really good. My uterus is back in place. My cervix is back to its old self. My boobs are doing well, thanks for checking. Minus the chapped bleeding left nip, but I'll save that story for another day. All in all, my body is back to how it should be right now. Six months after delivering an almost 8 lb baby boy. My cycles are 25-28 days on the nose. My periods come and go with ovulation pains soon thereafter. Everything seems to be in full functioning fertility mode.
We discussed baby no. three. We'll go the same route we did with Joshua (IUI with ultrasound monitoring, clomid/hcg trigger). I just call when I'm "ready" and they'll tell me what to do and when to do it. The only stickler is I have to have Josh weaned for 2-3 months to get my prolactin levels back on board. So, that would mean weaning him at 9-10 months. I'm not sure I'll be ready for that so we might scootch our TTC time to 15 months instead of 12. We'll see how things go. This sucker fish might grow some gnarly teeth and our relationship might come to a rapid hault. It just all depends on how he manages those pearly whites and how he uses them on my nips. I will fight for my nips, I tell you!
Anyway-Enough talk about my nips. I have to admit that talking about conceiving again was kind of strange. I didn't feel nervous or anxious like in the past. I felt kicked back. Like I should be sipping a margarita, smoking a cigar (like I smoke, ha!) and just, well, kicking back on a beach chair talking to an old friend catching up. It was nothing to talk about it. I just felt at ease and comfortable. So, I think that is good. I don't feel stressed about it and I feel at ease. What else could I ask for going into another pregnancy? Not much else.
Now we move, get settled, have some fun and plan no. three and call the good doc when we're ready. I've got packing to do! Wanna come over and help me? I'll provide drink and snacks!

What's the deal with prolactin levels? What does that mean? I'm just confused by why weaning before ttc would be necessary. (although I have to say that having a night-weaned child before being pregnant would have made last summer much nicer).
Hey! I'm not 100% sure and not having my own doctorate degree besides what I consider a wealth of internet knowledge, I honestly could not answer that for you 100%. I don't go into a lot of my fertility issues on my blog so let's just say that the RE wants the best possible scenerio when going into trying for a third. We fully see where he's coming from... I just don't want to share my WHOLE down and dirty. I'm totally comfortable with weaning him before we TTC. I went into nursing with no goal in mind and I'm proud to have made it 7 months and each month that I add to it is just icing on the cake.
