570004 tn?1226980196 Over the past several months (since about July – a month or two after I started on levothyroxine) I've noticed that my menstrual cycle is about a week shorter than it used to be. It was about 36 days before, but now it seems to be about 28 days at most - if anything it's getting shorter; not going back to the way it was before. Does anyone know if this is normal / related to hypothyroidism? I am 31 years old. Thank you.
Avatar f tn For the majority of women, a shorter-than-average menstrual period is no cause for concern. As women age, their cycles regulate and the days of bleeding may shorten. It's not uncommon for women to have periods lasting only a couple of days. Women who are worried about the decrease in the number of days on their menstrual period should consult their physician. lifestyle of the woman. Stress from work or relationships may cause the bleeding to become more severe or stop sooner than normal.
Avatar f tn The last day of your cycle is the day before your next menstrual period starts. The average cycle length is considered 28 days, but many women have longer or shorter cycles and it's fine. The average women ovulates approximately 14 days before the start of her period, but again, that is certainly not carved in stone. The time between your ovulation and period is referred to as a luteal phase. Hope that helps.
Avatar m tn Well the cycle stopped right after Thanksgiving and this is the second cycle that has started since then in less than a month :-(
Avatar n tn I was wondering why I get so sick with my menstrual cycle, the first two days are the worst, I feel like I'm gone to pass out. Is there any I can take to prevent these sickness.
Avatar f tn (Count the first day of your menstrual period as the first day of your cycle). The luteal phase is almost always exactly 14 days. It actually sounds like your cycles are pretty normal. Good luck!
Avatar f tn It is important to keep a written diary of your menstrual cycle and write down any emotional and physical symptoms that you may get around 10 days before your period is due. This would indicate a hormone problem. Eating a healthy and well balanced diet with lots of fresh fruit and veg and avoiding junk foods, chocolates, sweets, cakes, fizzy drinks can sometimes help. Evening primrose oil can also help if someone has PMS (premenstrual syndrome) also called PMT (premenstrual tension).
Avatar f tn A woman with a light period is not gaining much thickness in her endometrial lining during the early part of the menstrual cycle. This is usually an indication that estrogen levels are lower than normal. If estrogen levels are low, progesterone levels are likely to also be low and a woman may or may not ovulate with her cycles.

Avatar n tn Yes, your period can be longer one month and shorter the next. This is not uncommon. Not every woman has a cycle that is like clockwork. Nothing to worry about.

Avatar f tn I spotted for two days very lightly on January 15 and then in February nothing so with that count as a menstrual cycle.? Even though this is my fourth pregnancy I'm still so confused on everything because I always miscarried before the end of my third trimester.
Avatar n tn If u finished ur period today and tomorrow u have unprotected sex, then ur possibilities of pregnancy are very slim. Women need to ovulate in order to get pregnant. A woman's monthly cycle is measured from the first day of her menstrual period until the first day of her next period. On average, a woman's cycle normally is between 28-32 days, but some women may have much shorter cycles or much longer ones.
Avatar f tn Having a shorter period does not suggest pregnancy. Various things can affect the menstrual cycle, including stress, diet, and BMI (body mass index). I would not jump to the conclusion that you are pregnant based on the shorter duration of your period. Taking a pregnancy test is a reasonable thing to do, and you can sometimes get a false negative, as someone alluded to above.
Avatar f tn After a miscarriage will have have a period after 4-6 weeks. Has this happened??? Mine period came after 24 days and it was a much ligher/shorter period cycle and now it's more heavier, but it's still within the normal range. I would see ur doctor if ur concerned.
