Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

hi archie..
u answered one of my queries some time back and i am hoping u'll do so now too; somethings been eating my head for the last couple of days and its this :

my cycle length is usually 28-30 days; its usually very regular & painless (touch-wood); we have been ttc for the last three months; and in these 3 months, i got my periods on 34th, 35th and 33rd day respectively; and there was a lil pain on the first day; i dont understand how&why the cycle time has increased suddenly; wondering if its a cause for concern; should i see my gynec about it?

yday my husband suggested that it cud be some minor miscarriage sort of thing (or the fertilised egg cudnt embed itself in the uterus) and we probably didnt get to know about it; that got me really thinking... is it normal to have a sudden change in cycle time when u r trying to conceive? shld i see my gynec first thing trow..??

hope u help me by giving ur suggestion, like u have helped many other ppl in this forum.

thanks in advance

your change of cycle are lot to do with your anxiety and stress. they do vary during ttc because you pay too much attention to eat and automatically it has an impact on ovulation and also luteal phase. I don't see concern to see a gynec but won't harm if you do see.

your husband is kind of correct but not necessarily be the case. beside the egg not implanted is never a miscarriage it's just another normal cycle. IN your case it's menses that appeared kind of late.

why not to use opk this cycle and keep yourself relaxed?

try to test from CD9 and let me know. I recommend ClearBlue.

Archie curious replied. Hi Krsna Mukund,

First of all good luck for you \";TTC\"; journey!

Dear, do not get too concerned over this issue. I have heard of many women who experience this kind of problem while trying to become pregnant. Sometimes during the \";ttc\"; phase, hormonal activity alters the cycle length....besides this stress, travel, exertion, lack of sleep, excessive workload are other factors which can change the cycle length. Has there been any such change in your lifestyle recently- may be that altered the length of your cycle. Ofcourse, Archie can tell you better !

And if you are really worried about it- there is no harm in giving a call to your gyn.

I wish you good luck- lots & lots of babydust to you. By the way, I am also ttc...wish me luck :-).

Be happy !
