Lengthening period

[magpiecounter]

Hi, is there anyway to naturally lengthen my period? We are due to start ivf in July but my period this month has come early (24days) and it's throwing off the dates. I would like to start the ivf collection, scans etc at the start of the summer holidays so I can relax with six weeks off work. However my cycle suddenly being short throws us off.

It may be a bit short this month due to us travelling to turkey and back, being stressed financially (we've just emptied the bank account to pay for ivf) and me being ill (I've had S&D since Friday and lost 11lb of weight due to not being able to eat) although I've never heard of weight loss or illness causing a short cycle.

Anything I can do to help make it longer? The pill isn't advised before ivf as we have low ovarian reserve.

Do you mean lengthen your cycle or your actual period ??

@Hubbabubba2222 my cycle. My bleed lasts the same no matter what. It's still a five day affair but my period suddenly came super early. Never had a 21/22 day one before and can't afford to again.

You might be stressed I was having 18 day cycles due to being stressed !! You should sort your stress out and hopefully your cycle will return to normal.
