Taking Charge of your Fertility is a great book and really helps you with charting your cycles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-2-and-irregular-cycles#post-2193507 Fri, 29 May 2015 13:02:12 +0000 runnerd 2193507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I'm glad to know I'm not alone! I have been bummed that I didn't fall back into my normal pattern and that the doctor says everything looks normal</p> <p>@tiramisu: I FF from the beginning, so my cycles really have zero excuse for this behavior :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-2-and-irregular-cycles#post-2193505 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:59:22 +0000 Mamaof2 2193505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tiramisu: good point about nursing - I got preg the month after I weaned my DS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-2-and-irregular-cycles#post-2193497 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:55:01 +0000 tiramisu 2193497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: Are you breastfeeding your LO? I've heard that can make cycles do wonky things.<br /> We're thinking of TTC #2 soon too, but so far I've gotten one post partum period about a month ago and I don't feel another one coming soon. It is frustrating not knowing when it's coming. I'm also trying to wean my daughter, so hopefully that regulates things.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-2-and-irregular-cycles#post-2193490 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:50:31 +0000 Mamaof2 2193490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: mine cycles were just like yours 25 days then 50 days then 30 days then 65 days - drove me bonkers!!! Cycle 8 and 9 were finally both around 32 days and so I imagined it was leveling out. Maybe give it a few more months?</p> <p>side note - My 10th cycle though went to CD 65 and I assumed it was another long cycle but a friend convinced me to test and it was a BFP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-2-and-irregular-cycles#post-2193484 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:48:04 +0000 Rockies11 2193484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had irregular cycles postpartum, so just used OPKs every day. I got a big stock from Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-2-and-irregular-cycles#post-2193482 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:46:48 +0000 runnerd 2193482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: about 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-2-and-irregular-cycles#post-2193478 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:45:42 +0000 Mamaof2 2193478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: how long has your cycle been back? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-2-and-irregular-cycles#post-2193440 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:24:56 +0000 avivoca 2193440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had irregular and long cycles since starting my period the first time and one thing that really helped me was charting and temping. I really learned a lot about my body and it helped me to realized that I wasn't weird and that I didn't need pills to jump start my cycle as a previous doctor had told me. I like Taking Charge of Your Fertility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-2-and-irregular-cycles#post-2193437 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:21:36 +0000 runnerd 2193437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would like to start TTC #2 later this year, but cycles have been crazy since pregnancy. Pre-pregnancy they were long at about 35-37 days, but consistent. Cycles since I got my period back have been 37, 45, 90, 29, and currently 36 days with no end yet.</p> <p>I have no idea how to prepare for TTC #2. I saw my doctor about the crazy cycles and ran a bunch of blood tests - everything was normal. Any tips for prepping my body? I can't imagine doing OPKs for 90 days :/ </p>
