Short follicular phase

My cycles used to be 28 days long with ovulation around day 16. The last 2 months I have ovulated on day 8. I understand this may make conceiving harder. 😓 Has anyone had any experience with this and still fallen pregnant? I’m 34 so assuming this may be premenopausal 😩 any advice is welcome 🙏🏻

Hey 👋🏼 I'm currently in the same boat, wondering the same thing...I'm hitting 32 and got near enough all the signs for perimenopause (the night sweats...oh my days it may aswell be a water mattress in the nights/mornings) and cycles have varied from 19 days to 27 days from the last year...super confusing when TTC 😩 sorry this isn't helpful, just know your not alone in this 🫶🏼

Thank you for responding @ashlee. It’s heartbreaking when ttc because you feel it’ll never happen. I’m going to try my doctors to see if they can help/advise. 😩 Hope a BFP happens for you soon!!

Yeah I'm finding it hard to be hopeful, Mt partner is normally the negative nelly in the relationship about things but he's excited and now I'm the negative nelly because feel my body is letting me down. But yeah been thinking doctors is the best route as heard they can try you with things that help hormones etc....Good luck chic....also hope BFP happens for you too....✨️Baby Dust✨️

By some miracle I’ve got a last minute apt today with the doctor. Trying not to be skeptical that I’ll be fobbed off, but I’ll let you know if there’s any useful outcome. 🤞💕

For anyone reading, the doctor put it down to stress and not necessarily premenopausal 🤷🏼‍♀️ felt a bit of a cop out response, but I’m going to take his advice and stop ovulation testing etc and see what happens naturally. Also told I shouldn’t intermittent fast as it likely causes my body stress which can throw my hormones out of whack. I’m to go back if it doesn’t improve in another 3 months. To be honest a break from all the pressure ttc sounds wonderful 😂. But if anyone’s questioning whether to see their gp about it, I’d recommend to. So much better than googling all worst case scenarios.
