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.

Re: Question about length of cycle
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.

Re: Question about length of cycle
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.
