Periods, when to be concerned

Hello, just after some impartial advice please. My periods are troubling me, but I do tend to be somewhat a worrier & always go to the worse case scenario.

I'm 32, I am very overweight & do have signs of pcos. I had blood tests before where testosterone was slightly high & I do have terrible facial hair, but the GP wasn't overly clear on if I definitely have pcos.

I have been off the pill now for 18 months but there seems to be no pattern to my cycle. They were around the 36-40 day mark however my last one really surprised me (whilst on holiday 😪) by being only 25 days!

I'm starting to panic that there is something terribly wrong with me which will effect fertility. I am trying to lose weight & exercise more as I'm fully aware that this will have an impact. But surely if my weight has been stable for the last few months there shouldn't have been the big change in cycle length? I've attached a pic of my cycle summary.

Am I right to be worried, or am I just wasting energy on this??

I have a healthy bmi and PCOS: my cycles range from 14 days to over 100 days. The variation in your cycle really isn’t anything to be concerned about.

If you have been ttc over 6 months go back to your GP.

Are you taking a multi-vitamin too? I found inofolic helped regulate my cycle and I took that with a cheapie supermarket multi-vitamin before swapping to pregnacare TTC vitamins.
