I've been charting my cycles the past 5 months. So far in these last 5 months my cycles have been: 28 days, 21 days, 21 days, 21 days, 28 days.
Just wondering if anyone knows why this might be happening? I am breastfeeding, but Hayley has been on solids for the the past 6 months and feeding 4-6 times in a 24 hour period.
I find with the 21 day cycles I ovulate a day or two after AF has finished, whereas with the 28 day cycles I ovulate about a week after AF.
I only chart with mucous and feeling where cervix is, I don't do the temperature thing.

Breastfeeding can continue to cause cycle irregularity. My 19 month old breastfeeds about 4x per day and my cycles still haven't fully recovered.

Ditto here! My little guy is almost 19 months. I just got done with a slightly earlier period that lasted 8 days - the last 2 months - I had periods lasting 10 days - yikes, I know! It's been pretty much irregular.
