Irregular cycles

[Anonymous]

My cycles are usually like clockwork -- 28 days. Well, until I got pg and BF and now I've been off BF and off the pill for a few months. First month off I had a nearly 2 week period, then a 28 day cycle, and I tried to conceive -- had sex every day during the fertile window and at least every other day for the rest of the month.

Then my period came 2 1/2 days early, with a lot of cramping and a lot of blood.

Is this just a sign of my body getting back to normal after the baby and the breastfeeding? Should I now assume my cycle is 26 days instead of 28?

Just wondering what this means, if anything.

My cycles were very irregular post pregnancy. I highly recommend that you chart to see when you are ovulating. It was only through this that I was able to conceive DC #2 and #3 as my cycles ranged from 29 to 47 days.
