I am every 28 days on the dot and the first day is super heavy and very painful. Then again, I was on BCP for a long time and I"m not now so that might be why I'm noticing a difference in the amount of flow and cramping but it wasn't this bad after I went off BCP but before BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-af-change-after-lo#post-1598378 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 01:48:53 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1598378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still nursing so mine may be skewed by that but I was initial ovulating much later (CD 17-21) and my LP has been super short (6-8 days) recently I ovulated my usual CD15 and it seems like I might do that this month too but my LP was still only 11 days and with a lot of spottig beforehand. I used to only spot a day or two before and had longer LP. We are down this month to one feed a night. Hope it helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-af-change-after-lo#post-1598373 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 00:41:23 +0000 sandy 1598373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Used to be 28 cycles like clockwork even off of BC. I got an IUD before I ever got my period back after having LO and it totally messed up my cycles. I spotted or had a period every 2 weeks...it was awful. When I finally had it removed my cycles were anywhere from 25-28 days with lots of spotting before and/or after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-af-change-after-lo#post-1598312 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 22:01:16 +0000 travelgirl1 1598312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only had two periods since having A but the first cycle was 41 days and I ovulated on day 27. This time I ovulated on day 14 - I have NEVER done that before in my life! So maybe pregnancy helped heal my cycle issues fingers crossed :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-af-change-after-lo#post-1598304 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 21:53:07 +0000 tequiero21 1598304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cycles used to be fairly consistent about 30 days. Although, not exact, so I had random months with 26-34 days, but those were rare, and prolly due to stress. After los, I feel like they were always within the 26-34 range. Not as consistently 30. Although, I typically did spot so I knew when I was getting it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-af-change-after-lo#post-1597907 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 16:36:30 +0000 kakimochi 1597907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my cycle used to be pretty long, 40 days. after LO, it's like my body reset itself and is at 30 days, and the flow seems heavier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-af-change-after-lo#post-1597044 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 11:34:28 +0000 autumn865 1597044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cycle lengths are the same (around 24-26 days) the only thing that is different for me is now I experience cramping on O day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-af-change-after-lo#post-1596916 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 10:50:26 +0000 chopsuey 1596916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my cycle ranges from 25-35 days. used to be 28 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-af-change-after-lo#post-1596805 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 09:57:35 +0000 mrsjyw 1596805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: We did until just past 1 year, DS is 17 months now. AF has regulated for the most part. The last two months were kind of wonky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-af-change-after-lo#post-1596795 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 09:54:47 +0000 Adira 1596795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-baby, my cycles were roughly 27/28 days and I ovulated CD 14-16.</p> <p>My first cycle pp was 43 days and I ovulated CD 36 with a 7 day LP. The second cycle was 38 days and I ovulated CD 28 with a 10 day LP. The third cycle I ovulated CD 20. So my cycles were definitely still regulating... I'm not sure where they would've ended up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-af-change-after-lo#post-1596745 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 09:34:08 +0000 septca 1596745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you BFing? My cycles were super wonky pp until I completely weaned DD. Then they went back to exactly the same as pre-DD (31-32 days, O at CD17-18). AF itself is still a bit different - starts in the evening instead of the morning, very little cramping, very little PMS, more bloat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-af-change-after-lo#post-1596698 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 09:16:28 +0000 NovBaby1112 1596698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my cycles are pretty short since having LO. 24-25 days- sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-af-change-after-lo#post-1596488 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 07:59:19 +0000 mrsjyw 1596488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to average 36 days when we were TTC DS. I also learned I had a late O day compared to the "average." (CD 22 on the cycle we got our BFP)</p> <p>I've had AF visits since 4.5 mths PP (WOMP WOMP).... and they've ranged anywhere from 28 days to 35 days, averaging 32 day cycles.</p> <p>We're just NTNP, but curious to see how others' cycles changed between pregnancies/LOs. </p>
