Does having a 5 week long cycle hinder your chances of getting pregnant?

[MattieB19]

Or does it increase the likely TTC time? Mine are 5 weeks apart and it concerns me.

A friend has 6 week cycles, and two children. What helped her was tracking when she ovulated (which was about 2 weeks before her period) so she could ensure she had sex then.

If a typical woman takes 6 cycles to get pregnant (number invented!), then it'll take you longer to have that many cycles than those who have periods every 4 weeks. But not much longer - I wouldn't worry about that side of things.

Hey, i Have same, between 5-6 weeks cycles, we are trying for 13months now.
It really concerns me, especially as i never had very positive opk.

I got pregnant really quickly with a 5 week cycle. I would ovulate on day 21 and my period would start day 35. Got pregnant first month of trying. As long as you are having sex at the right time, there's no reason why it should have an impact on you conceiving

32 day cycle here,, been PG five times.

Thanks for all the responses, it's reassuring to get other people's opinions.

Same here. I had a 36 day cycle. I have 2 children.
