I have irregular periods , i tried detecting ovulation with ovulation detectors , tried measuring BBT , but could not get the right results. I am trying for a baby since last 6 months and get disappointed every month. So now me and my husband have decided to have sex every alternate day irrespective of ovulation date. Will it help ?

The timing of ovulation is complex and can take some studying of your body and your cycles to figure out. By using a combination of methods such as studying cervical fluid, taking your body temperature, and tracking your periods, you can calculate your time of ovulation. The American Pregnancy Association encourages women to learn about the fertility awareness method of tracking cycles and then combine that with ovulation predictor kits to best understand when you are ovulating. The Association estimates that this is anywhere between 11-21 days since the last menstrual period (LMP), or 12-16 days from when you expect the next menstrual period to start.

Don’t women ovulate on the 14th day after their period starts?
Unfortunately this is a myth that many still hold on to, including healthcare professionals. The day of ovulation differs from woman to woman and can even be different from month to month. The “14th day” thinking appears to come from either taking the average of when all women ovulate or from someone just dividing the 28 day cycle in half. However this myth got started, it is not an accurate way to calculate ovulation, because many women do NOT ovulate on the 14th day of their cycle.

I was irregular too. What worked for me was having sex all the time during a whole month. If you can have sex at many differnt times you are bound to do so during ovulation. It only took 2 weeks. Also, try telling your husband to not wear tighty whity's as this will help increase his sperm. Good Luck.

talk to your OB/GYN they can monitor your ovulation and everything...medications...surgeries...anything that you need. I have had great luck do to doctors. Please dont do anything without a doctor first. the doc can take a n ultra sound to tell you when you are ovulating and which days to try. Thats what i have to do, due to PCOS
