menstrual cycle changed over last 4 months
Hi all I'm not too sure if I've posted in the right place but hopefully someone maybe able to answer this.
I'm 36 not on any form of birth control so I know it's not that causing problems. I know that I'm not pregnant. As the title states my periods have changed. I used to have a 28-30 day cycle, period would last 2-3 days and would be light with no pain..ovulation would occur on or around day 13-15 (going by changes in cervical discharge). Since December I have dropped to a 23-25 day cycle with lots of pain, heavier flow and clots which I have never had before, period lasts 4 days with ovulation occurring (again going by changes in discharge) on day 6. Can anyone relate to this? Should I be concerned? Is 'the change' on its way? I don't have kids yet so that worries me. Thanks in advance.

Hello
I went to the Doctor today and he said that he thinks its a hormonal imbalance due to some medication I have been on for the past year (sertraline). The problems arose when I started to wean myself off them. Hopefully in a few months it should all settle down.
