If you are charting to TTC#2+ and charted for #1, come in.

I am getting really fustrated here and it is only cycle 2. Not because I am not pregnant, but because cycle 1 was 53 days, and this one I am on CD22 and haven't O'd yet, haven't had a +OPK, and have only had a piddling amount of EWCM, mostly mixed with creamy. I used to O between CD16-20.

 

Did you find that your cycles drastically changed after LO? My PPAF came back in July and has been pretty regular since then, mostly 28-30 day cycles. I am just confused. I am really hoping this turns out to be a longer cycle because if AF comes at CD30 that could be a LP defect and I would rather not deal with that if I can help it.

I got my first pp AF on Jan 30th.   That first cycle was 35 days - pretty much what they used to be.   However, my temping was sporadic - I got most of the days from around CD21 - CD35... but honestly can't detect a clear shift - but most my temps were in the post-O range, but quite a few weren't.

I'm just tracking on a paper chart for now... since we're not too seriously TTC #2 until summer.   I haven't taken my FF off "hold" yet.   Once I do, I will enter all the info I currently have into it.

I hope you O soon.  Good luck to you.

I didn't chart when we TTC #1 but my cycles were all over the place back then because I had just come off BCP. 

My cycles have been very regular since having DD.

No, my cycles didn't change much after DS was born.  They have been pretty much the same as they were before he was born (same length, O at the same time, same temps, etc)

Your situation sounds really frustrating!  I'm sorry you're going through that!

I didn't get AF for a year after DS because of BFing.  My charts are pretty much the same...but I'm not KU yet so maybe they aren't

I quit the Minipill back in July...maybe those 30 day cycles I was getting was my body adjusting off of it? Argh!

It could be that your body is still adjusting.  After DD was born we decided to just use condoms because coming off the pill messed my cycles up so bad.  Sorry about the cycle frustration!!

When I charted for #1, my cycles were about 28-29 days. ?It took 8 months to get my first pp AF and when it came, my cycles were 27 days every time until we?conceived?#2.

?I did not get my first pp AF until #2 was 13 months old, and when it came, it was HEAVY and LONG (like 10 days of bleeding plus a few days of?spotting. ?Then I got AF about two weeks later, again very heavy, but quite as long, around 10 days total with a couple days of spotting. ?About 2 weeks later, I got AF again, and then I went to my doctor, because I knew they were too heavy and too often. ?I had a u/s to make sure my uterus was fine (I had a traumatic?delivery?with #2, lots of bleeding, almost needed an emergency?hysterectomy?because I was?hemorrhaging) ?and everything looked fine. ? She put me on Nuvaring for a few cycles to see if I could get my AF to regulate. ?I was on it for two cycles that were "normal" with no heavy bleeding, but it made me break out so bad, I decided to stop and chart and see if I was back to normal, no more heavy bleeding with AF lasting 5 days total, two of those spotting.?

I have been charting for 3 cycles now, and my cycles are now 25-26 days long. I'm not sure if this is my new normal or if the BC is still affecting me. ?Since I was only on the BC for two cycles, I'm guessing this is just my new normal.

Not sure I was much help, but yes, all of my charts are different from child to child. Although mime are getting shorter and yours are getting longer!

I charted with # 1, had 29 day cycles, and O'd on CD 14. I went on the pill after #1 and have been off for about 7 months. Now I have 25 day cycles and this month O'd on day 12. It sounds like you didn't O until late in your last cycle since it was 53 days long. So maybe this one will be similar. Good luck. Hopefully you don't have LP issues.

my cycles haven't changed at all. my cycles have always been 28-33 days.

so sorry your going through this!

I was only on my second cycle off BCP when I got PG with my daughter, so it's hard to tell. But, I've been charting since shortly after I quit nursing (when she was a year) and my cycles have been crazy ever since. Some cycles I O on CD18, others have been CD45. Luckily, I do O eventually, but it has not been easy TTC when my cycles are so irregular.

Mine seems to be different this time around too, but for the better.  When I was TTC my DS, my first cycle was 40 days and then my 2nd cycle (when I got my BFP) would have been 33 days.  I thought I would start out with long cycles again this time, but my first cycle I O'd on CD17 and only had a 30 day cycle.  I don't know what to expect this month!
