Very Short Cycle - 22/23 days

[bluespix77]

Hi, Does anyone else have a short cycle? Mine is either 22 or 23 days and I'm very worried. When I read books/internet authors say a short cycle is 24-25 days, what about those with an even shorter cycle? I'm TTC #1, so I've just started charting everything. I came off the pill 4 months ago.
Thanks.

Hi bluespix

I also have a short cycle - anywhere from 21 to 25 days - because I ovulate early and have a 12 day luteal phase. Charting should show that you're just ovulating early, though I know it made me anxious at times when I started to read Zita West type books (see this thread for the answers I got). We're going down the assisted route, because of male factor issues, and my consultant has assured me that my cycles are fine.

Fingers crossed that you get your BFP soon

My cycle is 21 days on the dot. Got pregnant within 4 weeks stopping contraception (not pill tho). Not meant to sound like bragging but thought you might like a positive story.

Mine was/is always very short. 17-20 days. I was concerned, but conceived dd1 no trouble.

We wanted another dc - same problem. I was just about to be investigated re the short cycles, then conceived dt's no trouble.

I've never understood why I have a short cycle, but have 3 dc so it's not always a problem.

Wishing you LOTS of luck for a result soon!

Hi there, thanks so much for your positive stories x
