My period surprised me. This is unheard of, or at least for the past four or five years. No spotting, no PMS, no cramps, nothing. It just showed up after our 14 mile bike ride and 2 mile run on Saturday.
My "as if" act worked, and I had zero thoughts that this might be the magic month. So the excellent start made me happy, as if I had accomplished something. It made me feel healthy. And possibly--just possibly--able at some point to get knocked up. Something's gone right in there, and I hope it can keep in balance.

Um, congratulations? Actually, I'm still stuck on (and impressed by) the 14-mile-bile-ride thing. Makes me feel like a slacker for dreading my 30-minute treadmill workout this morning.
That is really wonderful! I'm so glad you're feeling in balance, and that you are actually experiencing results from your "as if" thinking. (Aristotle is feeling pretty vindicated right now, I suspect...)
Yeah. I remember the first time I had a period in 2 years, I was so excited. . . .
A couple of my girlfriends and I went out to lunch!
Stopping by from NaComLeavMo - I'm so glad that AF showed up on her own. Here's to the healthy you and getting knocked up!
That's something to celebrate!

I think that's something to celebrate. :D
That does seem like a good sign, that your body is ready to go at least! I hope this is a clean slate and a good month for you.
YAY!!!! Things are going right! That is excellent news.
It is so difficult sometimes to look at getting your period as progress - in fact, those first few years of puberty when I had it I actually calculated how many years I had until menopause, that was how much I hated it - but I think you've done a wonderful job of doing just that.
I felt the same way the other day when Big Red started. For the first time in a long time, I'll have a nice regular, period. What a thought.
And you did accomplish something. Shifting your thinking is sometimes harder than anything else. Good for you!
Oh, that's great on AF showing up!! (here from NavCom) Wishing you lots of luck this month! :)

congrats on having no pain, that is really great, I hope things are working and acting normal!
This does seem like wonderful news! Now if we can just make it go away for hmm, let's see, nine months or so, things would be peachy.
Three cheers for your period!
that's so cool!
hopefully this is a sign of more good things to come! :)
Here from NaComLeavMo and am incredibly impressed with your bike ride also! I hope that the balance continues and that you are successful with your next treatment cycle.
I am always surprised when mine shows without medication - or the pill! I get excited - funny.... Here from NCLM
Holy crap--14 mile bike ride. Whew, I had to take a moment to envision what that would be like; and trust me it's all envisioning, cause Id pass out after 5 miles! Go you!
Balanced feelings in our body and mind can lead to pretty amazing things--glad you are feeling happy from the balance=)
great start to a new month. very ambitious with the exercise there, too.
Good Luck! I hope you get more surprises this month.
That happened to me last month. Bike ride follwed by period. It sucked. The acting "as if" thing is VERY VERY hard, but it's what worked for us in the end. :) here's hoping!
Hope is such a wonderful thing - I hope it sticks around!

I feel exhausted at the mere thought of a 14 mile bike ride followed by a 2 mile run!
So glad to hear you sounding - and feeling - so positive, strong and healthy.
I'm glad your body went easy on you and has given you some shiny new optimism. I hope it keeps playing nice and this is it for you.
Oh... I hope this is a good sign for you! Good luck!

I'm impressed by the 14 mile bike ride and 2 mile run. Aunt Flo is good like that sometimes. I wish you good luck in your journey.
Hmmm, usually when people write about af they are pissed off... so, I guess, congrats! =)
