Does anyone else have shorter than average cycles?

Hi ladies,

I'm 30 (nearly 31) and have been ttc since January. I'm beginning to get anxious (to say the least!). I've been temping, checking CM, charting on FF etc etc for 6 cycles now and still nothing.

I'm now worried about the length of my cycles. They're usually 23 days, with ovulation on CD11 and a 12 day luteal phase. It was once as long as 25 days (with ovulation on CD 13). All the Zita West type books I've looked at say a cycle this short is too short but I've heard that anything from 21 days is considered "normal" by the medical world.

Does anyone else have shorter cycles? And, most importantly, has anyone else with shorter cycles conceived naturally? I need some hope!!

Thanks in advance.

Me too. My cycle is 21-24 days and I have 2 ds's both conceived naturally (although both did take some time). I must ovulate early - both times the deed was done on day 8 or 9. Suggest you start trying earlier in your cycle!
