A member asked:
Cycle got shorter the last 18 months from 28 to 24-25 days and occasions spotting before period comes. does this mean my ovaries are ageing? age 30.

No: This type of gradual change in menstrual cycle length, even occasional spotting, can be considered normal.It is very possible that your cycle length will return to the longer length. You may be surprised to learn that all the eggs in your ovaries were present on the day you were born and they age right along with the rest of you.It's ok to be aware of your biologic clock; cycle length not an issue
