Anyone with a 21 day cycle and heavy AF?

[Spockette]

Hi ladies,
Can you please help.
I am TTC my 2nd for the last month. My little one was conceived within two months and breastfeed her up until February.
I have a 21 day cycle with a heavy AF and for the last week have been using the Clearblue Ov Sticks only to be met a blank face
Is something wrong with me?

Anyone here conceived a 2nd one with a 21 day cycle?

Thanks

ETA: I am 34 years old.

I had very erratic cycles (possibly due to PCOS and/or underactive thyroid) and did chart post-mc in August 2009 (started charting in January 2010, as needed a break). My cycles ranged from 21 to 44 days (tho, possible chemical that month) and we were advised by the fertility specialist we saw in February 2011 to try from day 7 to day 30 of a cycle -- I successfully conceived in June 2011 on day 9/10 of my cycle (not the typical day '14') and LO arrived safely last month (I developed pre-eclampsia around wk 35-6, but before that my pregnancy was pretty normal/routine) and HE was always fine -- I was 41 when I had my first mc; 43 when I conceived LO and 44 when I delivered him -- so: it IS possible to get pregnant with erratic cycles and to have a successful pregnancy after age 35!

I would ask, if you haven't already, your doctor to run some basic tests, e.g. iron, thyroid, etc., as I never knew that I had an underactive thyroid and it was only in pre-IVF blood work that we discovered it (the month or so we were about to start our first cycle of IVF, I became pregnant naturally). Also, after I was put in thyroid meds, my cycles went to about 25 to 35 days (over six months) and the month before, it was 28 days....

Don't give up hope and take care of yourself!

best wishes

Hi Sabrinakat. Thanks so much for your post and many congratulations on the birth of your little one.
I keep reading of women who have really long cycles but rarely come across someone who has a cycle like mine.
I am quite regular with my cycle but as one AF ends it doesn't take long for the next one to start and without getting a positive on the Ov Sticks I am a bit anxious.
I think I will try and chillax and go with he flow.

Thx
