firstly.. Welcome!

I'm probably not the best person to even attempt to answer this having had no similar experiences but I will offer my thoughts in the hope that it helps! Its probably a case of anything goes for the first few cycles after such a long time! Which would explain why the Dr said to wait a few cycles before TTC. I wouldn't be looking for 'normal' so to speak. Let your body get back in sync with itself before trying to work out what its doing!

Easier said then done I know but that's how I feel about my cycle at the moment. Having had only one AF since my pregnancy (my DD is 7 months) I'm trying to work out when the second one is coming! We've decided to start trying for no.2 and I've realised that my body is probably still sorting itself out which makes it difficult to chart my cycle etc.

Anyway, I hate to say give it time (cause I don't want to)... Good luck!
