Trying To Conceive. Menstrual Cycle Getting Shorter. Am I Not Fertile?

I am a 25 year old female. I am concerned about my cycle. They are getting shorter and shorter. I have never been pregnant and am worried I am not fertile. I went to a clinlc about 2 years ago, they checked everything out and swabbed me and the Doc said it looked normal. Im thinking about going to a Planned Parenthood to have another look. Ive been trying to concieve for about 3 years now. My period lasts about 48 hours, it use to go for about 3-6 days. Is there anything I should be concerned about? Thank You!

Hi,

Thanks for your query. I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) It is not related to decreased fertility.

2) Once in a while it is normal to happen this way and there is nothing to worry.

3) Please get following tests done on day 2 of your cycle: FSH, LH, AMH, Antral follicle count scan. These will reveal ovarian reserve and allay your fears.

I hope I answered your query. Let me know if you have any followup queries.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol
