Shorter cycles after having a baby?
is it just me?
My cycles are CRAZY short now. Well, off and on that is. Sometimes it makes it to 28 days, but mostly it's somewhere between 22-24. Today it was 21!!!
Is that normal? Should I be concerned? I find it sooo strange! It might be that I was so used to having the perfect cycle while on BCP but now I'm not on the pill so...
Just curious! Thanks!

Re: Shorter cycles after having a baby?
My cycles changed after having DS, they became a bit longer. I think it is normal for a PG to change your cycle a bit.

Re: Shorter cycles after having a baby?
After having DD#1 my cycles were like clockwork as they always were prior to having her (and I was not on bc)
Now after DD#2... mine are definitely shorter! I'm like HUH!? So yes, for me, after #2 they got a little wonky.

I went from having 35 to 40 day cycles to now having 28 to 30 day cycles... So def significantly shorter than I was used to!

Re: Shorter cycles after having a baby?
Yes! I just noticed this. My luteal phase seems much shorter than before. Not sure if it is b/c I am BF? Hope it doesn't make it hard for me when I want to ttc.

Re: Shorter cycles after having a baby?
Yes, mine seem to be much shorter. I had long cycles before DS and now they're pretty regular - about 24 days or so. I was on BCP before I got pregnant first time, but miscarried and then it took about 6 months to get PG with DS, so I thought I would regulate in that 6 months, but I guess it took longer. Now DS is 16 months (I EBF for 8.5 months)...so who knows!

Re: Shorter cycles after having a baby?
yes, there were short to begin with prior to DS. Like 26 days.
Now it's 24 days at best. Sometimes 21 days.
DS is 3.5 years. It only got worst, not better. AF is super heavy too. Sorry... TMI!
I feel I should have some stocks in Tampax or Always. I would be my own best customer.
