29 day cycle and paranoia about infertility!

Is this normal? It's been a 29 day cycle for about 5 - 6 months now (to the day) It used to be a 28 day cycle to the day but then it changed. Also does having very regular periods suggest you are fertile? I'm always so paranoid about being infertile :frown:

it's weird, I'm only 18! Does anyone feel this?

Sometimes.

I don't think you have much to worry about - it's only a tiny change so I don't think it means anything. My periods are completely totally and utterly irregular - I can have cycles of between 30 to 60 days and it seems pretty random to me (although I've never really kept track of it). I did ask my GP about it and she said it may indicate comprimised fertility but that I shouldn't be too worried about it for the moment. Even if I was worried nothing would probably be done for me because you have to be trying for a baby for over a year without success before they'll send you for fertility tests, so I won't know if it'll actually affect me until I try to have kids :frown:

I think a cycles considered 'normal' if its between 21 days- 35 days, so yours would be normal. If it's seriously bothering you then visit your GP, and he'll probably put your mind at ease.

Is that what you meant? :wink:

I can't say I'd be hugely troubled by a change of one day in cycle length. Before I was on the pill, mine was anything from 27-36 days and I never worried too much. Yours are still regular, just with a fractionally longer interval; I really wouldn't get panicky about fertility just because of that!

irregular periods can be an indication of infertily?! i didn't know that!

OP: i'm sure a one day change is fine.

A one day change is totally fine, and as they are still a regular distance apart you really have nothing to worry about. As someone said earlier, anything between 3 to 5 weeks apart is considered 'normal'. All the signs indicate that you are fertile, and you're still young so the chances of being infertile are practically nothing.

I shouldnt worry about it. My cycle is ALL over the place, they are never on time. Usual cycle for me is between 40-60 days. Ive even gone 2 months without a period. I agree with everyone else, if your worried visit your doctor. My GP put me on the pill to regualte my cycle. She said nothing about it causing me being infertile.
