Normal ovulatory cycles are *usually* between 23 - 35 days, so your current cycles are abnormally short. Are you doing basal body temperatures or ovulation predictor tests to see if you are ovulating? Aldactone, by the way, is contraindicated during pregnancy. You may want to see a reproductive endocrinologist to sort out your hormonal problems and to help you conceive.
