Does anyone else deal with this, not sure if its my age(in regards to my period/ovulation)

MsMae79

I am going to be 37 this summer, recently I have noticed my periods have become LONGER! So instead of just having a 7 day period its gone on to be more like 14. I will lightly spot the week prior to my period and then I will have full on bleeding for the next 5 to 7 days. When I was about 10 years younger probably not even that long ago my period was exactly every 28 days and 7 days long. Has anyone else dealt with this and has this caused any issues with conceiving? We are looking to start trying for a baby in the next year or so... Thank you for any help ladies. I should add I have had three previous pregnancies which resulted in three healthy babies :-) I have never had any issues getting pregnant previously. I would say I am quite fertile. I guess this change has made me a little nervous it might cause issues for us later. :-(

My period has changed the older I've gotten. But not that much. It always Lasted 5 days and was every 28 days. I'm now every 24 days and 4-5 days. Not much change really. I'm only 27 though no kids yet. But 14 days seems like a very long time to me. I would bring that up to your physician.

Will do. Thank you for the response. I think I am going to set up a pre-pregnancy check up just to make sure everything is okay and we have the green like to go ahead!

Interesting...  My period has actually gotten shorter and lighter as I've gotten older.
