How did you fix it?

low dose of oral progesterone.

PS- never too early to go to the doc

This was me too but I had the 23-24 day cycles. The month I got pregnant I ovulated on day 11

Thanks for all of your input. Since we're still early in the game, I wasn't sure if it was too early to go in to the doc; however, I also wasn't sure if this was something to be concerned about. I'll make an appointment to get things figured out.

I doubt you will get pregnant with cycles that short. Go to your OB on day 3 of your next period and have your day three levels checked.

DH and I have been trying for baby number three for the last 5 months. DH is currently 31 and I'm 30. It took us 5 months to get pregnant with number one, and with number two we got pregnant the first cycle we tried. I've been sick quite a bit throughout that time (two separate cough/colds, the stomach flu, and influenza... it's been a rough year), so I've been assuming that's been making it harder for us to conceive. But something that does have me worried is my periods have been getting shorter and shorter. I used to have pretty predictable 27 day cycles. My cycles returned to this about 6 months after having my second born (now 2.5 years old). But the last five cycles, they have been getting shorter each cycle (26, 25, 25, 23, and 22 days). Has anyone else had this happen? Could it be due to the illnesses?
