I am a 28 yo female. My husband and I have been trying for our first child since July 2005. I went off the birth control pill in June 2005. I had normal menstral cycles from July - Oct but since November m cycles have been the normal 27 days apart but are only lasting for no more than 5 days. (Nov x 2 days, Dec x 4 days, Jan x 5 days). This month my period was 6 days late. It arrived on 2/17 with very severe cramping and nausea and by the third day had slowed to practically nothing. Prior to getting my period this month i had a big breakout on my face and neck, i was getting nauseous, i was very moody, and was very bloated. My cervial mucous, which is supposed to be a good sign when one is ovulating is the same at all points in my cycle. It is an off whiteish color and is not very thick. I never see the egg white looking mucous. Is that a sign that something is wrong? Also i had an abortion when i was 21, would that have anything to do with our difficulties. When i was on the pill my cycles were always normal. They came every month, on time, and lasted the normal 5 days. Should i be concerned? Is there something my doctors should be looking into?

 Hi Nital24,
In some women, after discontinuation of birth control pills, some menstrual abnormalities are present for a short amount of time. However, when persistent, an evaluation by a gynecologist is suggested. A physical exam, along with diagnostic studies to identify any homone imbalances, ovarian dysfunction, etc. is warranted.
Sincerely,
Theresa Jones, RN
