Delayed Periods - Trying to get Pregnant

[Meenal]

This is my first time writing to any group online. But now I am really
desperate to find answers to my questions.

Me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant for 4 months now. I
m observing some changes in my cycle which scares me. I have had 28
day cycle entire my life ( I am 24yrs old) until last 2 months. The
cycle has changed from 28 days to 32 days all of a sudden and I am
worried about it. Please help me answer my questions? Why is this
happening and is it normal?

Hope to get reply soon.
Thanks

I can think of a couple of reasons:
1) It's normal variation. Are you charting your temps? Ovulation may have
been delayed by illness, not getting enough sleep, etc and therefore your
cycle was longer than you are used to. You may well have had 32 day cycles
in the past, but now that you are super-observant of your cycles, you've
noticed the change (nothing like ttc to make you hypervigilant about your
own body)
2) You did conceive on those 32 day cycles, but had an early loss. This is
very common (some say as high as 50%of conceptions).

Get "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Wechsler and start charting
your temps every day to determine your cycle. The more info you have about
your cycle, the better your chances of increasing the odds each month, plus
if you are not pregnant in a year, you'll have more info to help your Dr
rule out various probs. 4 months is well within the normal time range,
although I know it doesn't help to think of that.

Good luck!
