Trying to Get Pregnant

Cycle Lengths

Hi Ladies,

I apologize in advance if this has been asked before. This is cycle #5 for me charting. As each cycle passes, the length of my cycle has shortened. It started at 32 days, then 31, 30, and this past cycle was 28. 

Is this happening to anyone else? I appreciate any feedback. I was going to Google it but thought I would get better responses on here.

Re: Cycle Lengths

  • My cycles went from 38 to 35 then to 34. Now I am on CD 35. Don't know if I could be pg (waiting until 1/1 to test if AF isn't here) or if my cycle length is getting longer again.

  • Good luck to you!! I was O'ing around CD17 at first but that went down as well. I have been off BC since April so I don't know if my body is still adjusting. Who knows!
  • My cycles are usually anywhere from 28-31 days but last month I had a 25 day cycle (and it was my first month on B-6). It's pretty annoying, but I guess it's normal.

  • It looks like you're w/in one standard deviation with those numbers,  I'm also on cycle 5 (26, 28, 29, 28) I think you're body is still adjusting and wouldn't worry unless you got into the low 20s. Good luck,

  • Good to know! Thanks for the feedback! :)
  • The length depends on when you ovulate ;) My ovulation varies each month, so my cycle length has varied between 28 and 35 days.

    Thank you :) Still learning, that makes sense.

  • Are you taking any new supplements?

    If you look at my charts you can see I went from 30-31 days to 26 days the last two cycles. I also had the longest LP last cycle - 14 days. And I O'ed earlier than ever on CD12 (which sucked only because we timed sex poorly).

     I am taking 100mg of B6 daily, and I think it may be the reason for it.

    I wouldn't worry too much, you just have to pay attention to not miss O like I did!

  • I've only been keeping notes the last 4 months or so.  I had 3 34 day cycles and then this past 1 was 29 days.

  • Honestly, I was just thinking this sane thing. My cycles have varied, but not consecutively shorter. Although, my LP has gone from 16 to 15 to 14 to 13 to 12. Weird.

  • I range from 19 days to 25 days.  You are in the normal range.  It is ok to fluctuate like, so don't stress.

  • Are you recently off BCPs? I've been off BCPs for 8 months now, and I'm still not consistent. They were getting longer and longer, then they were getting shorter. Now who knows? I'm not sure I've ovulated yet and I'm on CD29, which is the length of last cycle.
