Menstruation and conception issues

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a few months now, but this is the first month that I am so early with my menstrual cycle..... about 9 days early! We were counting the days, doing the basal temp (my temp never changed since the 13th) and trying to be pro-active in getting pregnant.

I had my "period" on the 13th of last month and I just started again on the 4th. Normally I have a 27 -28 day cycle.

I don't know if it's something I should worry about or not. I have never been this off on my cycle, except the first month I stopped taking the birth control pill.

Any thoughts or helpful sites would be great!

actually thats not REALLY that far off.. only about a week. were it like, a week or two weeks apart, id be more concerned..

I would just keep an eye on it, see if it happens again, but dont panic.

onlymedid, stress can throw your cycle off. You said you and hubby are trying for a baby? Maybe you're stressing coz it's been a few months?

Hmmm....yeah, I guess we have been a bit stressed out.

I didn't know that a week was not too bad. OK, I won't worry, then.

Thanks!!

transient small changes in your cycle can happen for all sorts of reasons. Its not a big deal most of the time. Its when its perpetual that it can cause problems,

Are you tracking cervical moucus or anything like that? Basal temp?

That's what I was thinking too.... try to relax and have sex more often between the second & third week after your periods has stopped - you are most fertile during this time.

Yes, well...we have just started that about 2 weeks ago. So, it hasn't been completely and utterly as serious as it should have been. We were "trying", but there was a lot I didn't know to do. But, yes....we are tracking everything now.

Thanks Rhap! I will try!

Good Luck and you hang in there, hun!
