What is Your Age and How Long is Your Menstrual Cycle?

[Anonymous]

31 and 28.5 days, but can be up to 35 days. For me, ovulation timing is sensitive to stress and illness. It has happened a week late when I was really stressed. I second the rec for Taking Charge of Your Fertility. I charted for a year or so and it was fascinating.

age 45 and a half.....the last two or so years ago it was
about a 30 day, now its approx 27-28 days.
But once it was 26 days about 2 years ago.
It is very comforting to read this forum and find out
that even 25 days is considered within the normal.
I panic a bit when things are even slightly not consistent with what
I expect to be normal for me so thanks eveyone for
your posts.

I am 46 years old. my cycle now sometime last for 15 or more days. I am headed toward 25 days as we speak and it is driving me crazy!!!!! When did this become normal for you all? I have always had a cycle for 3 days 4 tops until pre-menopause. 5 months of no cycle was wonderful but a month long cycle is torture.

I am 40 and my cycles have varied between 24 and 31 days. I just saw the RE this morning and he said that I may have a progesterone issue. The doctor also said that the progesterone issue is causing the flux in the cycles as of late.

Has anyone had a progesterone issue and then gotten pregnant when the issue was corrected? This was my first visit with the RE and I am hoping that progesterone might be all I need.

Thanks.

I am 32 and I get my period for 6 days. I have a question, by the way? I get very bad dysminorrhea or menstrual cramps. What do you do or take to help relieve yourself from it? Thanks.

Hi. I also suffer from dysminorrhea and I understand how frustrating and painful it is. You might want to ask about Motrin from your doctor. Helps me when I get a bad attack. You can also get it from the Online Pharmacy. HTH.

If you have bad cramps during your period, you may want to speak to your doctor about the possibility of endometriosis. Even just a little bit can cause a lot of period pain for some women. Some ob/gyns will tell you that you should start taking Motrin before the pain kicks in. This can be helpful, but if you are prone to stomach problems, please be careful. I ended up with a stomach ulcer from self-medicating with motrin.

PP, all of your numbers are almost identical to mine (including age and number of children). Just curious: Are you by chance TTC again?
