Aunt Flo Has Come to Town

At 8 weeks 4 days post partum my period has come back. I had a feeling that it was on its way because I had noticed soe signs of ovulation a while ago. I am going to track my af on fertility friend again, just to see how regular it is, if and when I am ovulating etc.

H and I had a chat yesterday about going back to Brno. I have been doing some research on when it is safe to try again after having a csection. The consensus is that 18 months is the general wait time. From what i can find it is really safe at one year out, but we are going to err on the side of safety for me. Which means that instead of going back in November 2011' we will look at going back in August of 2012. It gives us more time with Little G and also if it works there will be nice spacng between them.

This also means we can take a vacation later this year...a much anticipated vacation..we are gong tk Hawaii for around two weeks. H's Dad had offered to give us some money towards the trip and we have decided to take him up on itl In fact he will be coming with us. We are just starting the planning process, but it looks like we will be spending time on Oahu and Maui. It will be an adventure travelling with an 11 month old. We are going to look at splitting up the flights so it is not too much for her. e.g., flying from here to Vancouver and spending the night and then flying from Vancouver to Honolulu the following day. Squee! I love planning for this kind of thing.

Hello - fellow ff'er here and have been following your blog. We also went to Brno, from Switzerland though, so not so far! So glad you were sucessful on your last trip resulting in Little G and best of luck to you when you go back for your FET. It's nice to see fellow Americans, well ok Canadians, going to Brno! We have a wonderful DS2 from the experience, it did take four tries though :(!

Delighted to hear your plan!! My doctor said it's a myth that you have to wait 12-18 months when I told him (like you!) what I had found...I think for me the difference is also that I have to go through the whole process again, probably if I had some frozen embryos left I'll wait a bit longer. Looking forward to hearing about the planning of your trip and can't wait to see pics when you'll be back! Are you going to celebrate little G's birthday over there?

Good to hear from you!

Interestingly, we are seriously discussing going to Oahu for our third wedding anniversary in November. Let's keep in touch about dates; it'd be funny if we were there at the same time!

oh my gosh, I LOVE planning vacations! Especially ones to a BEACH! I am SOOOO jealous! It's so neat you are all going as a family. Such a great experience!

It's so good you all will be able to take the time between babies to be strong and healthy. I didn't think about a c/s lengthening the time, but that makes sense. I hope I don't need one - time is not on our side. We'll probably start trying for #2 later this year!
