Hi,
It was only a few weeks after I started SP-ing when my Aunt Flo finally came back to visit me after months of absence. Needless to say, I was thrilled to have her back (I think!).
It's now been 3 months that I've had mostly regular visits (BTW, for those who don't get it, Aunt Flo is my period), with each month getting closer to my old 28-day cycle. This past time, I was only 32 days apart, which I consider to be normal!
I want to tell you, the first 2 periods I had after being on SP were slightly more crampy than normal. And the first month was very heavy flo, but I had not had a period in months.
Years ago, I used to be able to tell when I was ovulating b/c I could feel the egg pulling from one side of my pelvis (doc told me this was NORMAL, many women can feel this, nothing to worry about). Then, for years, I started not feeling it as I got fatter and fatter, then my periods began to show up late, then I would not have them for months at a time.
Now, I am getting back to normal! I can fell when I'm ovulating again now! My period lasts about 3 days, just like normal for me. But the first month after starting SP, my period was about 5 days, then the next month, just about 4 days, and the past month, I was normal for me!
I want you to see that you are moving in the right direction. My moods have really evened out, but I still get a little testy the week before Aunt Flo comes, not to mention that I tend to be a little on the hungry side.
Wishing you all well! --Betty
