Gradually, as we weaned, things got better - this cycle, #4, is right on track with my pre-baby cycles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1484060 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 13:09:25 +0000 dolphin 1484060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before DD, it was over 40 days. I just got my period back three months ago and so far its pretty regular, 32 day cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1484051 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 13:06:51 +0000 Freckles 1484051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, usually 28 days, sometimes 29. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483994 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:49:07 +0000 googly-eyes 1483994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of, right now at least. The past few months that I've marked down were between 28-31 days which is pretty regular for me. Before dd it was more like how yours are now though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483981 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:46:07 +0000 theotherstark 1483981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the most part. My cycles are generally 25 or 26 days (ovulate on day 13, then a 12 day luteal phase), although depending on travel, stress, etc. I will sometimes have a 27 or 28 day cycle. I think my longest was 29 days. That's since coming of the BCP two years ago. </p> <p>I wasn't tracking really before I went on the pill, but I think they were generally around there as well? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483975 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:44:13 +0000 Synchronicity 1483975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sheskrafty: I hope you get back to normal, too! I feel your frustration, that's for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483965 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:41:25 +0000 sheskrafty 1483965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PermaStudent: Hopefully you get back to average ASAP. It makes me feel better I'm not the only one with a wonky cycle right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483956 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:39:13 +0000 Synchronicity 1483956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sheskrafty: That sounds like what happened to me last cycle. I'm hoping this one brings me back closer to "average". </p> <p>@snowjewelz: Not fun!! I was on birth control for so long, and now I feel like I have no idea what is going on with my body - I've been off the pill for something like 8 or 9 months now. I hope you get your surge asap, keep up the BD lady! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483938 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:36:21 +0000 HellOnHeels 1483938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meh, kind of. For the first couple months off BCP they were 29 and 30 days but then there was one that was 35. I wasn't keeping track when I was a teen but I think they were around the 30 day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483918 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:31:16 +0000 Torchwood 1483918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was younger, they were long. I think the longest was 48 days, and they weren't consistent at all. Around the time I turned 20, and possibly related, around the time now-DH and I started dating, so I was getting laid on a regular basis for the first time, they evened out a lot. Within in the last couple years (I'm 28 now) they got completely regular to the point I could just plan on when I'd start (28 days, with just the occasional 29, but early in the day if it was 29). They immediately re-regulated after my m/c's, back to 28 days, with the added bonus that my usual debilitating cramps were almost completely gone. We'll see after LO gets here how long it takes for things to settle down again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483908 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:28:06 +0000 sheskrafty 1483908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No and its freaking me out! I had 3 normal periods after AF came back pp. They were around 26 days each so I took B-Complex for a few weeks (to lengthen my luteal phase) and now I'm on CD50. I've taken a million pregnancy tests and they are all negative. I'm going to see my doc on Wednesday and crossing fingers nothing is majorly wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483885 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:21:00 +0000 snowjewelz 1483885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PermaStudent: Argh no! My last cycle did become longer than my first one post BCP. And I'm supposed to O around now but haven't felt anything or see a surge from OPK... I don't know if DH and I can keep up BD EOD for another week or more! Ah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483849 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:11:55 +0000 Mrsbells 1483849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They range between 26 to 32 days. It was more regular before LO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483842 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:10:35 +0000 Synchronicity 1483842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I got off BC, my cycles remained at 28 days for a couple of months, but then they slowly got longer and longer, and my last cycle was more than 60 days. </p> <p>So. Frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483831 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:09:09 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1483831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They used to be. They haven't gone back to normal after IVF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483830 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:08:57 +0000 lilteacherbee 1483830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I got pregnant, they were "regular" in the sense that they were consistently 45ish days, but definitely not normal 28 day cycles. I'm almost 4 months pp and they haven't returned yet. I'm interested to see what's going to happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483818 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:05:43 +0000 hellobeeboston 1483818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my period back at 10 month pp - so I've had about 6 periods and they have been MORE regular than before! About 29days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483748 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 11:49:35 +0000 snowjewelz 1483748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet anyway. Stopped BCP in Jan and while they haven't been that long, they're just different so it's confusing when I'm TTC! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-cycles-pretty-regular#post-1483742 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 11:48:12 +0000 mrsjyw 1483742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are not! </p> <p>They were super long before ds, avg 36 days.</p> <p>Since 4.5 months pp, I've had crazy cycles (28-50 days)...they've just averaged out over the last six months or so (i'm 15 m pp) at 30-32 days. </p>
