ttc question

Hi all

I'm a bit lost. I was 5 days late for my period this month. I've been
keeping track of my p for 5 cycles now and here is a run down:

5th July to 9th July

27th July to 31 July

20th Aug - 24th Aug

13 sep - 17 sep

9th Oct - current

so my periods have now gone from 22 day cycle to 24 day cycle and current 26
day cycle so now completly confused as to when I will ovulate this time
round. My other question would be would the above be considered as irregular
periods?????

They were really short to begin with, and are getting longer to the "norm"
so that would be a good thing, as best I can tell. You should probably
start tracking your basel body temps, so you will know exactly when you
actually did ovulate on any particular cycle, and if your leutal phase (the
time from ovulation to your period) is long enough to allow conception to
occur. 12-14 days is good, 10 is short, and 8 is not workable. So you want
to be sure that you are ovulating about 14 days before your next period
starts, give or take.

At this point, while you track your temps, you should be having sex every
other day from cd8 through cd16. That should ensure that even if your next
cycle is 28 days long, you would have had sex either on or around ovulation,
whether it occurs on cd12, cd13, or cd14. Good luck!

Go buy Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. It will tell you
everything you need to know.

I would not call that irregular periods at all. The book Jamie recommended
is excellent and tells you so much about your body in general (prob more
than you'd ever want to know!). You can find cheap copies on ebay, or maybe
Amazon too. I thought I was having irregular patterns until I realized that
I was not always counting the first day of bleeding as day 1. Someone once
told me it's the first day of bright red blood, and others said it's the
first day of any bleeding or spotting and now that I write this I don't
remember which one is right. But that could fairly quickly straighten out
your extra days.

Charting is the absolute best way. I got pregnant first time of trying both
times using charting. Buy the book

Good luck!
