Were your cycles wonky while breastfeeding postpartum? Mine weren’t with my first. But now, I’m on my second cycle postpartum at 14 months (still breastfeeding) and my cycle is super long. I’m on day 21 and still haven’t ovulated.

Yes. Though 4 months in it is moving towards where it was pre-baby (still bf morning/bedtime/weekend on demand, though I think my supply is pretty minimal).
I ovulated later than normal, my luteal phase has been longer than normal, and AF has been ridiculously heavy and long (but again, normalizing slowly...)

I didn’t get a period back until I was down to one nursing session a day, which wasn’t until about 20 months. I wasn’t tracking that closely but based on ovulation signs it seemed to be somewhat normal at that point, and i got pregnant again two weeks after my first period. But there were months of me thinking my period was coming back before it actually did.

I didn’t get a period until I stopped breastfeeding at 9months. It was back to normal immediately after that.

Baby #1: EBF, no period until he was like 12-13 months. I nursed him until he was 28 months (and I was 3 months pregnant). After my period came back it was pretty regular.
Baby #2: EBF, period came back at 5 WEEKS POSTPARTUM. I thought it was pp bleeding. It wasn't
Baby is almost 11 months old. The first 4-5 months they were very short. Like 20-21 days. Now they are back to normal length.
