Hi ladies,
I used to have a regular 28 day cycle, albeit with heavy and nasty periods (like something out of a horror film). I went on the pill in 2006, which sorted it out and came off the pill when I started TTC in September 2008. My cycles were 26 or 27 days instead of 28 (they had been 28 all of my life before that). 14 months later, I got lucky and in August this year I gave birth to my first child.
I'm 42 in January and we want another child straight away, but my cycles appear to be even shorter now. My first was 25 days and then 26, both ending in the now familiar nasty blood bath. This month, I checked my ovulation using ovulation predictors and got a LH surge on day 16, which looks like I've got a 10 day luteal phase
Has anything like this happened to anyone else? How long should I wait until I go to the doctor's, I'm worried that this might be a sign that the menopause is approaching?
