Thanks for sharing your experience! I really should've tracked my cycles the last few months, but I just never got around to it. I honestly don't know if my periods were irregular due to nursing, since my cycles have always varied a bit.

Seems like there's a huge range of 'normal' though. Silly unpredictable hormones, eh?
