shortened cycle...what can cause it?

[vanasse2002]

Hi, ladies...my cycle is usually 30 days long, but it's come a week early twice now...I have not started taken any of the supplements yet (planning to start with this cycle), but I have changed my diet to fit the HE diet. Could the daily freshly brewed green tea change a cycle or anything else in the HE diet? Thanks for any info!

I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this. Thanks so much for your patience.

If anything, the HE Diet should keep cycles optimal by giving your body plenty of raw materials to manufacture estrogen and progesterone. Do you know if you're ovulating early or if your luteal phase is short, or both?

I suspect it's the green tea. It may go away next month. Try drinking it every other day rather than every day.

Thanks for the response. I just realized that I am only supposed to drink the green tea AF to O...I was drinking it the whole month! I am pretty sure that I was Oing earlier. I have cut back on the green tea this month, and it seems to be back to normal as I haven't O'ed yet. One more cycle to go and we'll be giving it a try!
