Hi. I'm mid forties and always had a short ~23-25 day menstrual cycle since I started tracking in early thirties with a short luteal phase of max 11 days. Struggled to conceive and the month I did conceive DS my 3 progesterone day 19, 21, 23 all came back as too low to have ovulated! I have been on mirena IUD for about 4 years. Cycles have been getting progressively shorter and the last 5 have all been 19 days with very short luteal phases (as opposed to ovulating very early in cycle). Is it common with perimenopause for cycles to get shorter?

When mine started becoming irregular they would often be shorter (cycle). Or I’d skip months here and there. This started when I was about 40 or 41. I’m now 46 and haven’t had a period for the past 6 months.
