anyone else have short cycles? (23 days or less).

I'm in the same boat Bea06...length can be between 23-26 days. MY GP and FS have both told me though that its normal length. I believe I ovulate mostly around CD14-15 so would've thought my LP was too short. I'm getting close to the 2 year mark of trying for a second and had an op earlier this year for big fibroids which they thought was my problem, but I'm beginning to wonder if it is my short cycles?

I've had the thyroid levels tested a couple of times and it was normal.

Very frustrating isn't it.

Over the last few years my cyles have become shorter. Used to always be 28 days now they are commonly 23-26 days, sometimes 27 or 28. My last cycle was 20 days. In my case it probably is peri menopause as I'm 43.

Even so I still managed to conceive 3 times in a 12 month period. I found it always happened when I managed to O on day 12 or 13 of the cycle. Most cycles I O'd on CD 15 or 16 & with a shortish LP of only 11 or 12 days that didn't leave much time for things to develop.

I was lucky enough to have it happen naturally but a FS can manipulate your cycle in order to achieve a pregnancy. It seems that it's all about timing.
