Suddenly longer cycles?

My cycles seem to have gotten longer and my periods have gotten shorter since it came back after my second child. Its only longer by 3 or 4 days but still longer. Is this normal? Does it mean anything with regards to my fertility?

After my periods came back after my second they went from 30 days to about 43--long but regular.  I had a m/c in Oct 10 and they seem to be around 32 days now.  My OB thought I wasn't ovulating with the 43 day cycles but I conceived. I also had all of the hormone testing bloodwork and everything was fine.  Not sure what's going on! Sorry I can't be more help :)

I think cycles can change with various factors - age, hormones, life stress etc....Pregnancy can also "reset" the body of sorts so what was the norm previous to birth can be different after. If it is only an extra 3-4 days I don't think I would be concerned with fertility issues. Are you charting to know that you are ovulating? Just probably later in your cycle is all.

I'm going to be charting, as soon as this darn baby lets me get more than 2hrs of sleep at a time. LOL we're working on it though.
