Shorter, but regular cycles? And trying to conceive.

Question

Anyone over 40 with shorter cycles (24 to 26 days) that successfully got pregnant?
I've always had 28 day cycles, like clockwork. But now that I'm over 40, they've reduced... they are all regular and come every month without fail... but are only about 25 days,  sometimes 26 days.
Any positive stories to share? Thank you. 💕😊

Answer

We need more information to make the required conclusions. It might be okay if you ovulate between cd 14 to cd 16 at latest. You need minimum 10 days lutheal phase and preferably at lest 10 days follicular face. With 24 to 26 day cycle ideally the ovulation is between cd 12 to cd 14.  If for example you ovulate cd 15 and then your period arrives cd 24 this might be a lutheal phase diffect. If you ovulate cd 7 and then get period cd 24 the follicular phase being too short might indicate underlying hormonal issue. As the quality of follicles decline so is the corpus lutheum capability to survive for longer and to maintain the progesteron levels needed to promulgate the lutheal phase for 14 plus days. Hormones gone out of wack and lesser quality egg are very common above 40. My lutheal phase shortened even at 38 and a half. The only thing that seems to bring it to day 14 is progesterone suppository.
