Okay, I had my first cycle after having Gabriel on December 23, the week before Gabriel turned 1. It was totally normal--not really heavy, no real cramping. I had the next one on January 23 or 24, but this one was very heavy and lasted about 9 days. I should have had my 3rd one on February 23 or 24, but still haven't started.
I took 2 pregnancy tests yesterday, both of which were negative.
So I have a couple of questions. First, it's probably normal for my cycles to be wacky for a while, due to the hormones and not having had one for almost 2 years, right?
Second, for those of you who took a pregnancy test that was negative, and turned out to actually be pregnant, how much longer after the initial negative did it show up as positive?
I really don't think I'm pregnant--I'm sure my hormones are messed-up, I had 2 negative pregnancy tests, and I've been told I'm infertile (I conceived both of my kids with IVF)!
Any insight or similar experiences anyone has had would be greatly appreciated.
