Common Questions and Answers about Period cycle shorter

period

Avatar f tn So by cycle you mean that your *period* is lasting a shorter and shorter amount of time? If that is the case, YES it is normal! You can have a period for ONE day and it's still normal.
Avatar n tn My cycle is usually only 25 days long, and I only ovulated 13 days ago. I had (what seemed like) IB yesterday, but I took a test this morning and it was a BFN. I am due for my period anytime (it's day 25) and I'm usually right on time, so I am just curious if since I have a shorter cycle and I just had IB yesterday would it take me a few days to get that BFP?
Avatar n tn i just found out i am 7 weeks pregnant even though 3 days after my period was due i had bleeding however it was 2 days shorter and alot lighter than normal so it just goes to show you can be pregnant even if you have bleeding, do you have any symptoms?? do a test to know for sure.
Avatar f tn Stress from work or relationships may cause the bleeding to become more severe or stop sooner than normal. For some women, increased exercise may lead to a shorter menstruation cycle. A common reason a woman's cycle may shorten is because other women live with her. One study, conducted in 1971 by Martha McClintock at the University of Chicago, determined that women who live together often have the same cycles or very similar ones.
Avatar f tn Hi there and welcome. Well, a cycle begins the first day of your period and ends the day before your next. most women have around a 28 day cycle but some have shorter and some have longer. So, as to when you should expect your period, do you normally menstruate monthly? In which case, any day.
2187580 tn?1338053554 Go see a doctor as it's not normal. You should have your period about once every 28 days (or slightly shorter/longer) lasting no longer than 7 days. You may need to look into taking some birth control pills to help regulate your period so something like this doesn't happen, but if this is the only time it has, your doctor may decide to have you track it.
334926 tn?1436811523 Well Lilly, I've also had really short periods - my last one lasted really only one day of a full flow. My periods have always been short, no more than 3 or so days, even when I was young, but I do know that the fertility drugs can stuff up our hormones. I have a friend on here who didn't get her period for three months after doing her first IVF cycle. Don't worry too much about it, it could also be down to stress. Take care!
Avatar n tn t noticed much of a change in when I ovulate or the length of the cycle. One possible cause of a lighter, shorter period is that the body didn't produce the normal amounts of progesterone during that cycle, which is the hormone associated with thickening the uterine lining. You shouldn't be too concerned, but if it becomes a pattern and you're trying to become pregnant, a progesterone supplement may be necessary for successful implantation.
1021834 tn?1379292300 I was on clomid for mini ivf, i was only on it for 2 wks and although my period came on time, it was quite pink and much lighter and shorter than usual. I was also on a little bit of menopur. I am doing 3 stimulations in a row, that was my 1st, I am now on my 2nd and my hormones were good enough to continue, so hopefully, everything is fine with your hormones as well. Good luck!
1486020 tn?1354028475 maybe it wasn't you'r actual period. was it heavier then spotting. before i got pregnant. i wasn't on birth control but sometimes during my menstrual cycle. i wouldn't have clots it would be shorter and light in color. maybe you'r body is just flushed out. i really have no insight sorry.
Avatar n tn ...what's going on is that you're in the biological transitional phase known as Peri-Menopause. Changes in your menstrual cycle and menstrual period can vary tremendously. Cycles may be longer or shorter or fall into a "no-pattern' pattern. Menstrual bleeding may be heavier or lighter, more prolonged or shorter, or entirely absent. Variable and declining hormone production is the cause. I've been going through the same thing, myself... and, I totally empathize!
Avatar f tn my cycle is 21 days.... july 25... im guessing it is my period... but can i ovulate while on my period cause there is a sticky mucs with blood...
631676 tn?1333718203 More so than ever when I was younger. I have friends who have a slowing down of their cycle with lighter periods, shorter duration. However, in all honesty, if I were you, if you are skipping cycles but still having them, I'd ask for blood work and get your thyroid checked. I had this issue years ago with periods every 3 to 4 months because my thyroid is slow. At your age, this is much more likely than full on menopause. Let us know how the doctor's appointment goes.
Avatar f tn till the 12th (28 day cycle) and it was shorter than normal... normally my period is about 4-5 days! Now I am spotting and having some minor cramps... Is there a possibility that I could be pregnant? My husband and I used the pull out method from the 20th of december 'till the 31st (he pulled out before anything came out).
Avatar f tn bithcontrol and i took it like the pack said, (the first sunday after your period begin) i did that and now after 3 days of period my period just stopped. when it should be 5 days . Is it beca use of the pill or is there something wrong?
Avatar f tn even alternate period is very short. like last month i have my period for 7 days and this month for only 3 days. Is something seriously wrong with me. I am also trying to get pergnant. Plase suggest me what to do?
1284791 tn?1271994267 as far as i know, there is no problem with being a few days longer than average. where you'd have issues is if your luteal phase (from ovulation until your period) is shorter than 10-12 days... then you'd have a shorter window for possible implantation... but a touch longer cycle should not give you any problems.
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 Can a shorter menstrual cycle mean pregnancy? My period usually last 5 to 6 days. I have been a little off track for a few months for example I either start every 30 days or 32 days, this time it was 32 days. I had a little heavier than normal for the first day and then when the 2nd day was about over it slowed down. Now the third day I am just spotting? Can this mean I became pregnant before my period started?
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 f tn The average is 28 days although lots of women have shorter or longer cycles then that. If your average cycle is 28 days, and you started your last period the 15th of September, your next period would have been due to start the 13th of October, making you 12 days late. So in order to properly answer that question, we would need to know the length of your cycle and the first day your last period started.
Avatar f tn All the doctors can do is give me different I think it can be this or that. Anyhow, over these 14 yrs, my period has gotten shorter and shorter. The last two years it has only lasted two days, heavy both days. Before my period I have serve fatigue, extra emotional, headache, and trouble emptying bladder (constant urge to pee). Last month and this month. I feel like I need to start 3-4 days before I start. When I finally do I have heavy bleeding one day, and then spotting the following two.
Avatar f tn Yes he did on the 9th and its light and brown started the 13th and it was shorter I'm having cramping bloating I've been very hot I'm tired all the time
Avatar n tn My period cycle is 23 days, and my the first day of my last period was October 3rd throu the 6th. I was suppose to start again October but I didn't. If I start this month tomorrow it will be way more then a 23 day cycle. Is that normal??
Avatar f tn i have a regular 28day cycle but after taking clomid my period came 3days early and its not flowing much.please is this normal?
Avatar n tn 29th through Sunday December 4th. If your cycle is not 28 days and is shorter or longer, try googling an ovulation calculator and go through the steps and it should tell you the best time to get pregnant!
Avatar f tn Did they check your uterine lining mid-cycle? Clomid thinned my lining. This made my periods shorter, only 1-2 days. Maybe that's what's happening? A thinned lining makes it much harder to get pg, so they switched me to a different drug.
