OP are you TTC? Or is this just a health issue?

Agh! OK. How old are you?

Sounds like PCOS. Have you had blood work to check? It's either that or peri menopause.

Could be perimenopause. Maybe time for a visit to the OB/gyn?

I was able to conceive DC2 at 41 but consider myself very lucky. Now at 43 my cycles are getting shorter and shorter, which I’m told is perimenopause. My SIL said hers have become much longer. I’m jealous.



At 42, my cycles have become 21-24 days. It's annoying because my period lasts 5-6 days and then I seem to ovulate only a few days later. I feel as though I'm always "on alert" for either ovulation or period.


Same.

I am 41. My cycles used to be 35 days, now 31 days. Now I am on day 42 with nothing in sight. this has happened about three times this year. What could be going on? Thank you.
