Examples of Postpartum Menstrual Age

My Example

	Age	Baby #	Postpartum Menstrual
Me	23	1	17 months postpartum
	25	2	Almost 11 months postpartum

Side Notes: Names have been changed to protect the identity of these mothers who participated. Also the age in the chart is not the age pregnancy occurred or birth of baby, but age that mothers were when postpartum returned. This can be very different for some women. Referring to my example above, I was 20 years old, a little over a month before my 21st birthday when I became pregnant with my 1st. In the 1st trimester of my pregnancy, I turned 21 years old, which is the age I was when my baby was born. When my first postpartum came at 17 months postpartum, I was 23 years old - to give you an idea how age of postpartum menstrual returning can be different from pregnancy and birth of baby.

Implantation Dips & Raised BBT

An Implantation Dip is when your basal body temperature (BBT) dips below your cover line post ovulation, usually said to occur around 7 to 9 days pass ovulation on average and then continues to rise without falling below the cover line again. 3 to 5 days pass ovulation for implantation dips is said to be rare. Some believe implantation dips are myths, because of varying results in dips and outcomes for pregnancy. Usually it is said when your BBT stays above your cover line without dipping below the cover line, it is a sign that you're pregnant. This is just a theory, but it seems for some early implantation dips, may lead to earlier positive pregnancy tests. The exception to early implantation dips theory I have found is that some women get early positive pregnancy tests as a result of having a multiples pregnancy, some women gets dips in many of their cycles that do not result in pregnancy and some women like me don't get dips during a c...
