They were 42 days apart! I'm waiting for period #3. I'm on day 34 now. These long periods kinda freak me out because I used to have 28 day cycles before I had my baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-period-cycle-after-birth#post-2880 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 12:41:02 +0000 chopstixwife 2880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After L was born, I went on birth control. 6 months later, I stopped using birth control and since then my cycle has been anywhere from 21 days to 26 days. Before baby, I knew exactly when my period would start because I was always a 28 day girl. </p> <p>Since L turned 1, we've been trying to make baby two for the last three months with no success. I haven't charted temps or anything of that sort. </p> <p>I'm wondering if there are any people out there like me who now have shorter period cycle after first birth (more difficult to figure out when you ovulate) and how long did it take you to get pregnant the second time around? </p>
