My cycle hasn't returned yet postpartum, but it was very average before I got pregnant. I had 28 day cycles, with signs of ovulation on day 14.it was wonderfully predictable. But prior to 3 or 4 years ago, it was way shorter than average. About 22 to 24 day cycles. I basically had my period every two weeks.

Longer. They were like 70 days long before my first, then regulated to 30 days then I got pregnant with my second and now they are 40. I'm sure it's a mixture of nursing and PCOS.

None of the above? I have PCOS and have never had a cycle on my own. They always have to be induced or happen when I am on birth control.

Mine are usually 30 days. I start getting AF symptoms on the 28th day, but she usually shows up full force 1-2 days after that.

Mine were exactly 28 before I had my first and postpartum they have been around 26 days, so a little shorter.

Before pregnancy, mine were around 35 days. Since DD, I only had 3 periods (starting when she was 9 months old) before getting pregnant again--and cycles were 2 months, a month and a half, and just under a month and a half. If I hadn't gotten pregnant, next cycle probably would have back to the normal 35 days. Ha!

When I came off BC when TTC-ing last time, my cycles were super long, and got longer and longer, like pushing 35-40 days! Now pp they're more normal like 29-31 days.

Before pregnancy they were longer at like 30-32 days. Now they're about average at 27-28 days

After getting off BCP & before getting pregnant they were long. First cycle off the pill was over 100 days, then 60, then 50...I ended up hovering around 40-50.

All over the place-- some as long as 100 days, some as short as 36, average is around 42 days.
