Not sure where to post this- 1st cycle PP

[MommytoTwo]

Are your cycles regular when you first get them back? DS is 8 months and I got it a month ago. If its regular, I am 4 days late. But its normally screwy for a while .... right?????

Yes....when DD#1 was six months I had my first pp af. Then I didn't get another one until she was nine months old. A change in nursing/sleeping schedule can wonk it and make it act weird. At least that is my experience!

Yes, mine has been quite irregular. I had one about 18 months PP, that was very light and lasted about 1 day and not another until 21 months PP. So yes, totally normal.

I know lots of people who said that their cycles were screwy post partum, but mine were regular as clockwork from the first pp cycle at 7 months. Even while breastfeeding constantly around the clock! So really, it can go either way.

: It depends on your body. With dd1 I got my cycles back at 14 months PP and they were super-regular until I got pregnant 6-7 months later. With dd2, my body keeps gearing up to ovulate, but then I don't and hence don't bleed.
