Trying To Conceive. Have Short Period, Steady Flow, Spotting. Not On Contraceptives. Worry?

For the past 2 months I noticed that my periods have shortened from 4 days to 2. Usually i have 3 days of steady flow and a bit of spotting on the fourth day, but this time the flow was steady for 2 days only and almost no spotting on the third day. I'm starting to get worried... Is everything fine with me? What can be the cause of that?
I'm 30 years old, haven't given birth yet,not taking any contraceptive pills. Me and my husband have been trying to conceive for the past 3 months...

Hi,
If everything else is normal, there is no need to worry about the shortening of the cycles. It happens with slight fluctuation in hormone levels. See a specialist if you fail to conceive after sincerely trying for at least 6 months. Please time your intercourse regularly around the ovulation period. You may also get your thyroid profile done to see if there is any deficiency that needs to be supplemented. Please maintain a healthy body weight and a healthy diet. Hope you find this information helpful. Take care.
