Short period since I try to conceive

Hi all,

I don’t know if anyone experienced the same and maybe I can get some advice.

Since I have been tried to conceived, my period became shorter and shorter.

My period used to last at least 3/4 days , in the last year it lasted for only one day.

I’ve been to see different specialists.

one said it’s normal to have the length of the period reduced while u try to conceive, an other one said to keep monitoring the situation for other months and eventually go for any further investigations.

Is this normal? Can this be a sign of low fertility?

Hi Melody. It’s not normal to have a reduction in length of cycle. Seems you may have a short luteal phase, which results in your womb lining not building up enough. ? Time for some medication. Diane

Hi Diane, thanks for replying! D you know which kind of medications I would need if the problem is the one that you mentioned?

I will book an consultation with a specialist shortly, but just to have an idea ! Thank you again!

Hi. Often the first choice is Clomid which is taken for 5 days, starting on the second day of your cycle when you are bleeding. Hopefully this should get you ovulating at the correct time. Obviously up to your specialist which medication would be best for you. Diane
