So uh, just wondering…
How many of you at BlogHer started your period early? Because I thought it was just coincidence that five of the women that I met the first night were on their period. Then there were my roommates. Then there was the girl that I pottied next to after dinner one night who’s period took her (and her white! pants!) completely by surprise.
Then there was me. I wasn’t due for another week.
And yet yesterday at the airport, SURPRISE!
I’m sure the Westin is still reeking with estrogen.
******
Yes, pictures are coming. SOMEONE, despite her best editing and whittling, ended up with over EIGHT HUNDRED pictures from the last five days. Yeesh.

I’m just dropping by to see if you used my dancin’ shot (which, by the way, I need photo credit for

I’m laughing about this post. I started mine EIGHT DAYS EARLY. And I am always, always, always on time.
It’s all starting to make sense….

Weird! I wasn’t there, but I did that each of the two cycles just before I got pregnant.

No kidding, I just got out of bed because I started my period a week early and then didn’t want to go back to bed.
Now if only I could catch some of that “skinny thighs” disease that seemed to be going around at BlogHer…

I haven’t had mine in fourteen months, but if I find that all that estrogen made me start again, I will cry.

Oy. I started spotting the other day. I’m pretty sure it’s early, but since it’s only month 2 of not nursing it’s only my 2nd period…so I’m not 100% sure if it’s early.
But either way, there was A LOT of estrogen flying around and it was AWESOME.

I didn’t start a cycle at BlogHer, but I sure did bloat and put on water weight going in.
I’ve dropped 7 pounds since Thursday.
I can’t believe I read all of the comments.
