Do you have a fairly regular cycle (or maybe you did before postpartum)? How long is your average cycle?
Do you think there is anything in particular that causes it to be regular or not regular?

I have a pretty regular cycle. Typically 28-29 days.
It _might_ be because I have slept with an eye mask on for years: http://www.westonaprice.org/womens-health/fertility-awareness-food-and-night-lighting
I was pretty surprised when AF arrived a day early last month.

Before DS1 only BC pills made me regular. After he was born I had a 29-32 day cycle. After DS2 I have a 27-29 day cycle....except my last was 24 days! So weird.

Pretty regular at 33-34 days. If I'm on femora (+ trigger shot), my cycle will decrease to 28 ish days.

My cycle was all over the place before getting pregnant with LO. I hadn't had a real AF in over a year (just spotting here and there--I believe because my body fat was too low) so imagine my surprise when I got a BFP.
I have no idea now as I got Mirena 6 weeks PP.

Well I'm "regular" as in consistent, but my cycles are always around 45ish days. When I was TTC, my doc ran a few tests and said everything was normal, so I don't really know why they're so long.

You need an other category. I only had one cycle on my own at 15 and then nothing. At 14 months pp I spotted off and on for about 5 months, had a really long (like 10 days of full on flow) period and now I am back to nothing for the last 2 months. I was hoping my body would start to regulate after I had my son but it doesn't look promising

I've always been pretty regular, 28 days, 12 hours to or from. My only blip was about 6 Months ago when AF came exactly one week early and then went back to 4 weeks. Weird

Nope. TOtally random. I've seen cycles anywhere from 29 days to 58 days. I managed to get pregnant fairly easily (twice! One live birth, one miscarriage) so I'm not sure if anything is actually wrong/causing my wacky cycles.

28-29 days on and off BC. Not going back on BC after this baby is born though. No more hormones.

I'm not paying specific attention, but it feels pretty regular...probably right around 30 like before.

I don't have regular cycles at all. While TTC I had cycles ranging from 40 days up to 140 days. I was finally diagnosed with PCOS a few months ago.

Total infertile random cycles. I don't ovulate, so my cycles aren't even cycles. They're almost totally random. They'd leveled out a bit for a while, but then I had a chemical pregnancy, and now boom. What a mess.
