@sashahakmanmd: For starters your menstrual cycle is NOT your period. It’s the time from the first day of your period to the day before the NEXT period. The menstrual cycle will provide signs that things aren’t necessarily ok from a hormonal or anatomic standpoint. Short menstrual cycle= diminishing egg reserve Long cycle 35+ days = ovulatory issues such as PMOS Spotting before your period = low progesterone or a luteal phase defect Periods longer than 7 days = anatomic, hormonal or inflammatory conditions Fluctuating menstrual cycle lengths of more than 4 days =0.571 weeks ovulation issues All of these should be investigated. What patterns have you noticed that makes you worried there may be something happening?
