Menstrual cycle is shorter?

I am 31 years old. I get regular periods every month, but for the past 4 or so months, I have noticed my cycle is about 2 days shorter than what it used to be. I know I am ovulating because I have the normal ovulation mucus, test positive to ovulation kits, and can often feel ovulation pain.

I just wanted to know if a shorter cycle is normal at my age. I have two children already, which took 2 months and 4 months to conceive. We are trying for a third but it is taking longer. Any ideas?

    Sometimes it can just take longer for no specific reason. I wouldn't worry about it until it's been a year of trying with no pregnancy.

    As for your shorter cycles, it's normal for your body to change every decade or so. Some women get longer cycles, some get shorter cycles.

    Good luck!
