Does anyone have a short cycle?

Question

Hi. I've seen a lot of posts where ladies say their cycles are 28 days or longer. Mine is 20-22 days. Anyone else in the same boat? Do you think having shorter or longer cycles increases or decreases your chances of conceiving? Thanks in advance!

Answer

I just had a 16 day cycle, but this is extremely irregular for me, and based on BBT, CM, and digital OPKs, it was an anovulatory cycle. 😕

Answer

If the time between when you ovulate and the day of your period is less than 12 days, then you could have a problem called luteal phase defect. Pretty much means your body isn't producing enough progesterone to sustain pregnancy even if egg is fertilized.

Answer

Mine were 20 days when I got pregnant! Currently 35 weeks :) I took opks to figure out when I ovulated to make things easier.
