And we're off!

OK, actually we're not off but back from a long weekend at a friend's place in Galiano Island. But we were off on Saturday, which was also...wait for it...period day one! Of course it was fantastic timing, given that we were sleeping in a tent in our friends' garden for the weekend along with 10 other friends all sharing one bathroom and no real bathing to speak of but hey! If you're happy with cramping you've got to be happy with inconvenience, too, right? At first I wondered if it was the real deal, since I'd been waiting so long and it was a slightly slow start, but it was the deal indeed. And it actually hasn't been that bad. Some mild but insistent cramping kept me up in the middle of the night on Saturday but otherwise it's been just a regular old period. I was kind of concerned that things would have been building up in there over the last seven months (it feels like longer but in retrospect seven months isn't THAT bad. Ah how quickly things change....) and when it finally broke out it was going to be something of a nightmare. Not so. It's like AF and I never parted....

So we've decided that we'll wait one more cycle out before we actually start trying, just to give my hormones a chance to regularize themselves into a cycle now that they've regularized themselves to at least get things started. Dare I hope for babies in the fall?
