Hi all so I am nearly 35 years old and TTC for about a year now. A couple of years ago I noticed my cycles getting shorter. In my 20s they were always about 33 days, now they are usually between 22 and 26 days. Also now I usually have spotting in the days before shows up. Sometimes up to 4 consecutive days of spotting before I actually get the heavy bleeding and cramping. That makes it hard to know when to count CD 1 but that's not my main concern.
The research I've done says these short cycles and spotting during the LP could be a symptom of a low functioning thyroid and/or low progesterone? And possibly even anovulatory cycles? Has anyone else heard about this? Anyone else have this problem and managed to fix it and conceive?
I'm considering trying Traditional Chinese Medicine to try to get my cycles normal again. Something just seems not right with the short cycles and all the spotting before
Anybody have any clues?
