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.

My Laparoscopy Recovery Essentials: What’s Actually Helping Me Heal

Disclaimer: Links to all the products I mentioned are included. I am not being paid to promote any of them and do not receive payments. Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief.  2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...

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...

Support for Divorced Women

There is a known formula to success for church members: praying to God, reading your scriptures, helping others, and regularly attending church. There is a power in the things you believe, that allows them to anchor, guide, help, and inspire you. Christian women, even those who are going through separation and divorce can benefit from these powerful tools. Sometimes separated and divorced women, such as I, may also need additional support for their struggles that not all members may understand or need. For example, a break from callings and receiving counseling services.  But one thing that is important and needed, but often missing is support from their fellow members. This “missing” feeling of support is not due to someone being intentionally unkind. It is because of things that fall out of the ideal of society, religion, or culture like divorce, members do not speak about enough. As a Christian church, understandably we spend time talking about the Godly marriages we desire to...
