So we'll likely end up with a 3rd through adoption when I really only wanted 1 to begin with 😂 hormones are hilarious </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-cycles-postpartum-when-do-you-poas#post-2774679 Thu, 21 Sep 2017 10:17:02 +0000 nana87 2774679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! Still waiting for af. I took a test 2 days ago after posting and I thought I maaaaybe saw something but dh thinks I'm hallucinating haha. It's cd41 now, I might test again before this weekend since it's dh's birthday as well as a close friend's wedding.</p> <p>@MamaBear87: lol I feel you on the feeling sad when the tests are negative! I don't know if I want a third--we always talked about just two but it's weird to think lo2 is our last baby. But she's only 7 months, I'm def not ready for a third yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-cycles-postpartum-when-do-you-poas#post-2774542 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 15:41:59 +0000 mrsrain 2774542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I tested once a week starting 4 weeks after my period until my next period arrived. I had irregular periods, too, so it just made me feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-cycles-postpartum-when-do-you-poas#post-2774434 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 11:45:23 +0000 MamaBear87 2774434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tested a couple times because my cycle was "late" but I think it was just a bit wonky because I was breastfeeding. It eventually evened back out to a regular cycle again.</p> <p>Eta this is how I knew I subconconciously wanted a second. I was always sad when the sticks were negative </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-cycles-postpartum-when-do-you-poas#post-2774295 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 06:11:56 +0000 ginmar12 2774295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we were using condoms I probably wouldn't use this method but when we were trying (or not preventing) and I was irregular I'd POAS on Friday mornings so I could have a few carefree glasses of wine over the weekend :) </p> <p>That being said my plan failed last time- negative cheapie test Friday and it was positive Monday morning! (I retested cause I felt so off) So I guess my plan wasn't a great one... lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-cycles-postpartum-when-do-you-poas#post-2774284 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 23:28:27 +0000 agold 2774284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tested somewhere around day 35 of my second postpartum period. The first cycle was 24 days. My pre-pregnancy cycles were always 27/28 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-cycles-postpartum-when-do-you-poas#post-2774264 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 21:42:27 +0000 HintofMint 2774264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used up my leftover sticks within a year. I'm pretty paranoid and would test periodically, just in case. I was also used to a super regular cycle before pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-cycles-postpartum-when-do-you-poas#post-2774201 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 16:11:16 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2774201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did somewhere around CD 45. I had been feeling weird or I would have kept assuming my cycle was irregular since I had just gotten it back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-cycles-postpartum-when-do-you-poas#post-2774184 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 15:12:56 +0000 nana87 2774184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else dealing with/dealt with irregular periods or long cycles postpartum?? When do you poas?</p> <p>I'm on my second cycle since my period started again; my second period started after 36 days, and I'm on cycle day 39 right now. I really don't think I'm pregnant (using condoms) but I was always super regular before lo2 with like 27 day cycles so this is really weird! We aren't trying but I have 1 test leftover that I'm tempted to pee on... </p>
