Am I Ovulating coz period is decreasing??

[mummyumyum]

I started TTC about a year ago and nothing has happened so far.  I'm also trying to get some medical help thru some assistance coz since I do work, its hard to get medical help thru govt. assistance.  Anyway, I started to notice about 6 months ago that my period cycle was decreasing slowly from 28 days to finally 21 days.  Not only is my cycle decreasing but also the amount of period I have.  I am normally a light bleeder but I would bleed for 3 days minimum but now, it comes light on the 1st day and by the 2nd day its almost done.  By the 3rd day, its dry with maybe a spotting here or there.  Is there something wrong with me or does this means I'm not ovulating? HELP.....

Hi. Thank you for your response.  Well, the last period I got only lasted 1 day with light bleeding and on the 2nd day, I only spotted.  Did you ever get checked for thin endometrium or thin uterus?  Do you think that your birth control pill had something to do with it because I was reading on thin uterus and it mentioned that 1 way to thickened it is to go on birth control with estrogen to help build it up.  

Plenty of Baby Dust on you!!!!

your cycle is similar to mine - I have had a 25 day cycle ever since I came off the pill a year ago.  Then 3 cycles ago it became 27.  This time round though it was 22.  I used to be clockwork now I'm confused!

I only last 3 days too... never really thought about it being a problem until now though!  I hope it's ok as I also have the whole male factor infertility contributing to my hard TTC battle.

I would imagine that once you have a regular cycle not shorter than 21 days and have at least 2 days bleeding then it should be ok.  Do you shed tissue etc?

Maybe you should start charting.  I've just started to see exactly when I O.

Thank you for your response.  No I am not using opks but am tracking o with bbt.  Maybe that might be my problem why I am not conceiving because my uterus is not thick enough.  What might be the cause of thinning uterus because at first, I thought I might be PCOS but other symptoms are not there.  And is there a cure to help thicken my uterus?

It doesn't mean that you are not ovulating. But, it may be indicitave of a lining issue. If the lining in the uterus isn't thick enough, an egg cannot implant. Are you using opks or bbt to track o?
