52 day menstrual cycle

[LoriLeeAnne 1]

I have never had a normal menstrual cycle due to PCOS. (I hardly ever had my period, and the Doc would give me the Depo shot to make my body have one every once in a while.) Since having LB surgery nearly 4 months ago, I have had my periods start back up again. I have had two. Yay! (I hope to have a baby still, even at the age of 37.) I've charted them as 52 days apart, not the average 28 days. I seemed to ovulate for more than a few days two weeks prior to having my second period. I haven't been worried- and have assumed that everything is "shaking out" and normalizing for me. On the other hand, I worry that now that I'm having my period, they are 52 days apart. What do you guys think about it? I'm down 37 pounds! I love my band!

I had the band Feb2010 and my period was so crazy then & before, I would never get it unless I took birth control pills. Finally at the end of Aug2010 my period started up again and Ive had one every two months about a average 53day cycle. I think that the weight loss is what put my periods back on track. I'm going to get the Mirena this month for protection and a better scheduled & hopefully lighter period.

Having a period with any frequency is a good sign. Are you charting your basal body temp, or are you not that far along in your pregnancy journey? I was Dx with PCOS in 2001 and know a TON about infertility and fertility treatments. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime. I spent years trying to have a baby and finally was able to have a baby after two rounds of shots and IUI.

Try not to worry about the cycle days. Celebrate the fact that your period is coming back on its own; that's such a great sign for you!!

that is about what mine where when I got pregnant each time. I have 4 wonderful children. It will happen, just takes time.
