Short follicular phase?

[Calluna]

CD1 was Oct15
AF ended on CD6
DTD CD8
I think O was approx CD12(FF says CD17 based on previous months. I havent temped or tracked anything other than CM this cycle)

My question is, is it normal to have only 4 days between the end of AF and ovulation?
Is this likely to cause problems Concieving? My last couple of cycles have been like this and I have had similar timing in the past when not TTC.

I googled, now Im all stressed out about early menopause

Mine is similar to yours, whole cycle about 25-26 days with a folicular phase about 12 days and luteal phase about 14 days. Though I wouldn't say my AF lasts until CD6 so that does give me a day or 2 extra between AF finishing and Oing. Am I counting wrong or your's actually 6 days between....CD6 to CD12
From what I've read that is not really the short they are talking about regarding menopause, that short is like a 7 or 8 day follicular phase. I think Oing at about CD12 is more of a normal variation on the 28 day/O on CD14 cycle, a normal cycle that is is just a bit shorter than average. I've also read that as long as your luteal phase is 14 days a slightly shorter follicular phase isn't really an issue. Do you still have a 14 day (give or take a day) luteal phase?

Oops forgot to say that obviously it hasn't caused me any issues conceiving

Lol! I totally misscounted.
Its not that short then. What a goose.

Yeah, LP is usually exactly 14 days.
Thanks for replying- I never would havepicked up my mistake.

I'd agree with this.

That said, if it is really worrying you, you could get your AMH and/or CD3 FSH tested to assess your ovarian reserve.

Yeah, Ill just see how I go, ifmit keeps getting shorter Ill get checked out but Im probably just being a hypochondriac.lol

I O usually CD11 or 12, with a 26 day cycle. Pretty sure I O'd CD12 this cycle when I got my BFP So a cycle like that can definately work lol
