Question about length of cycle

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this....

my whole life my cycles were anywhere from 29-35 days- on average 30/31/32 days.

Last year they were always 29/30 days.

Then, we started getting ready to TTC and I started charting and I went off my medicine completely. I had lowered the dosage gradually. I was on Effexor (an SSRI) for anxiety. All of a sudden, just when I started charting, my cycles became 26 days with an 11 day LP. I dont know what my LP was when my cycles were 29/30 days so I'm not sure if I'm suddenly Oing earlier or my LP shortened.

Does anyone know if getting older (I'm 31 now) or going off an SSRI would cause a shorter cycle?

Thanks!

As you get older your cycles do get shorter. After 40 mine went from 28 days all the time to 25 days. I don't know anything about the medication.

Mine have gotten shorter as I have gotten older.

When I was a teen and in my 20's it was 28 days, now, in my late 30's my cycle is 25 days.

YES, SSRI's are known to lengthen your cycle. Usually it will cause a little later O.
It does make sense your cycles would get shorter once you went off them.
