I have been doing LE diet now for almost 2 months. Supps started last month. My cycle is usually between 28 and 30 days. I just got AF today and that means this month's was only 20 days!?
This has NEVER happened to me. Is it possible the diet and or supplements are messing with it? We did not DTD last month so no possibility of pregnancy or anything but this COMPLETELY throws off my attempts which were supposed to be Sept.
Anyone experience this?!

Sorry I guess I should have mentioned that! 😂
Saw palmetto (AF to o day), folic acid, baby asprin, fibre

I just read that a cycle of less than 21 dsys could indicate that I did not ovulate. I am now getting a tad concerned.

Have you used the saw palmetto before, or is this the first time? It could be altering your cycle. What about diet? Being underweight or losing a lot of weight quickly could cause the same thing.
If your cycles are consistently that short, I would expect either anovulatory or a luteal phase problem.

Yes last time I conceived my daughter (2 years ago) I took it for 2 months prior.
I haven't lost that much weight so far. 3 pounds at most. It's just very odd bc it's never happened before.

My cycles are always 28 to 30 day. Never 20

It could be the SP. It could also be that you didn't O. Are you charting? Were you doing OPKs this month?

Yes I was using OPKS
Got positive results on day CD12.
I wasn't temp charting though bc I can't find those thermometers anywhere here.

I think your body may have geared up to O but then didn't. It happens sometimes. I would drop the SP anyway. What is your weight like? Have you lost a lot?

OK good to know! I am just confused bc like I said last time I swayed it did not have this effect on me. I have lost around 5 pounds or so in the almost 2 months I've been doing LE.

Remember though (and Robin we already talked about this, but for anyone else in this situation) the body you have today is NOT the body you had the last time. Things change with age and kiddos and just generally because. Even the cells in your body are different!! IT's always a new ball game! :)
