What were you cycles like after pgncy?

Mrs.LisaP · April 2010

longer? shorter? non exsistant? How did/do they compare to before you were pregnant?

I got my first PP af at about 8 weeks PP (I am not on CD 32, it seems wierd to me to even say "cycle day" again) anyways- just kinda wondering what my cycles are going to be like after all this...I was kinda hoping being pregnant would 'fix' me (had long annovulatory cycles pre-pg).

I have PCOS. Before pregnancy, they were non-existent. I only got AF after BCP or a clomid or injectable cycle.

I got a PP AF (unmedicated) at 16 weeks PP - I weaned at 12 weeks. After that, I had 2 35-40 day cycles, then they stopped. Didn't get another one until I finished BCP for my IVF cycle!

My first PP AF came at exactly 4 weeks PP. I was shocked and didn't really think it was AF. It came again in exactly another 4 weeks. This happened 3 times. I skipped a month and then ended up with my surprise BFP.

I nursed until DS was about 14m old. I was always regular pre-baby, and after stopping nursing/IUD my periods came back pretty regularly too. They were heavier, and actually a little bit shorter (on average) than before.

Mine were non-existent before and are non-existent now.

Truthful answer: Fvcked up!

Before getting PG with DS1, I had very "regular" cycles. They were 28-30 days and I ovulated on my own. The issue: late ovulation (around CD23 or so.....) and a short LP.

After I had him, my cycles were ranging anywhere from 35-50 days. My PMS was horrible. Horrible cramps, felt sick, nauseous, etc (none of which I had prior to having him....)

They didn't go back to being "normal" until I went back on Met (I have PCOS) and followed the low carb/low sugar diet.

Now.....after having DS2, they seem to be okay, but I went back on Met at my 8 week pp appt. I am not taking it regularly (I forget and it makes me sick sometimes....), but so far my cycles have been around 30 days. I am still having bad PMS, but at least for right now, they seem to be coming pretty regularly.

Before DD, my cycles were normal, every 28 days. I got my first cycle at 8 weeks and then have been right on track again every month until I got my surprise pregnancy. The only thing I ever noticed was that my cycles seem to be heavier every month and they were pretty light before I was pregnant. I also seemed to have cramps where I never had those before.
