First period

If you wont want to hear in depth about my period,  move beyond this post.

So, at exactly 8 months and 4 days, my first period has arrived. My postpartum bleeding lasted about 5 1/2 weeks which felt like forever. So far this period isn't nearly as terrible as everyone made it out to be. I had horribly painful periods before having a baby, so I expected the same, but so far this has been lighter and much less cramping. It started out very brown but moved right into a regular red cycle. Hopefully it doesn't last to long, and continues to be normal. At least now I can watch my cycles and try to see if I am ovulating again or what.

Agh, its crazy.

I'm also interested in trying the dia cup, but I am honestly a little scared.
