cycle days getting shorter every month

[inkdchick]

im now 44 and for the last 3 years of us trying my cycles have gone from 28 to 24 -27 days and apparantly its normal as we get older and as long as we still get our periods and they are not shorter than 23 days long then there is no problem with us getting pregnant, according to a F.S.
SO dont worry just relax and let it happen, P.M.A. thats what im doing. Good Luck xx

hi guys thank you for all you kind words.

just to let you know that my cycle has gone back up again. this cycle i was 32 days. really thought i was pregnant but sad to say not this time. I am very hopefull that things are sorting themselfs out now and off to doctor for more tests and stuff on monday as I had to go for 21 days blood test for progesterone a few weeks ago and it was 8.8 so doctor wanted to see me(as they want to see 10 or above). i did not ovulate upto that date as he was going by my 28 days i told him i was last cycle. but i carried on doing the ovulation tests after the date i should have and i ovulated on day 21 not 18 so this could have thrown all the results out the window. maybe i will have to have another test but 7dpo and not on day 21. see what he says on monday.

thanks again

Hi Stephanie (et al)

Have you considered herbal medicine? Vitex agnus castus is supposed to be very good for regulating the cycle. I started seeing a herbalist in early January and feel pretty positive. Following a 12 week m/c in late November my cycle is already back to a 'perfect 28 days with ovulation at 14 days and vitex agnus castus (also known as chasteberry) is one of the things she has prescribed for me

ive been going through my diaries over the last few days and have found an interesting find. My cycles actually went from 28 days to 24 - 27 days at the age of 40 !. Strange i know but when ia sked the doc today he said its a normal thing as its our bodies getting ready for the eventual Menopause years , i suppose when you look at it in detail that actually make sense .
