Cycles after pregnancy

Hi everyone.

Im 9mo pp and have been tracking my cycles for the last few months. These have been highly variable from 22 to 33 days but my luteral phase seems shorter 10/12 compared to 15 before I had DS. Has this happened to anyone else?

We were thinking of TTC shortly as before DS we had 4 MC including a 2nd trimester MC due to turners syndrome and my age (35) is not on my side for a longer age gap. I loved being pregnant and love my DS and really want him to have a sibling.

Was hoping others have had something similar or can offer some advice as finding the short luteral phase concerning. Is this my new normal or cycles just regulating. Just for reference I went on the mini pill for 3 months as 4mo pp and have now had two cycles since stopping.

Hey lovely I just put a post on about periods PP, I stopped bf 8 weeks ago and had what I thought may be a light period 4 weeks ago, which meant my cycle was 24 days I ovulated day 12, LP Being 12 my periods varied so so much before but my LP was always always bang on 14, I think it's normal to vary slightly? They don't class a short LP unless it's 8 or under so I wouldn't worry...::

Can I ask how was your periods PP 4 weeks ago I barely needed a tampon, this is one I'm changing every hour and in so much pain! With clottting sorry for TMI XXX
