Answer 1

You can only get pregnant when you are ovulating. If you only have a period every 3 months, then either you aren't ovulating at all, or you are only ovulating once every 3 months at most.

You need to determine when and if you ovulate. To do this, you have to chart your cycles. _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler will explain exactly how to do it. You ovulate about 2 weeks *before* you have a period, so unless you are really regular (once every 90 days), you'll never be able to figure it out any other way. I would suggest you read the book as soon as possible and *before* you see a fertility specialist. And...if you *do* see a specialist, stay away from hormonal birth control. It can cause *healthy* women to become infertile; with your history of irregular cycles, it could do serious damage!!

Answer 2

Have sex every other day. Have him wear boxers, too. It will increase his sperm count slightly, and might make his sperm live longer, extending their lives.

I have an irregular period, and got pregnant the day before I thought I had gotten my period. I bleed when I ovulate, and I happen to ovulate 2-3 days before my period. My period is irregular, also, so I understand what youre going through. YOU will not be able to chart your ovulation cycles, or use the general standard of "10 days after your LMP" for an ovulation prediction.

You ovulate for 3 days, and you have a 20- 25% chance of getting pregnant during each ovulation cycle. Have sex every other day, dont drink, dont use drugs, and ask your doctor if any medications youre on are conflicting. Oh act like you would if you were already pregnant- by not going into hot tubs, and stuff like that.
You should be pregnant within months, if you follow these rules. If youre not pregnant after a full year, then there could be an infertility problem, requiring added intervention. Youve only been trying for 2 months, though, so I wouldnt be too worried, lol.

Good Luck to you!!!!!!!! =)

Answer 3

Try tracking your basal temperature and using the ovaluation tests you can buy over the counter. You should start tracking your periods on a calendar and your cervical mucus and position. Also call your doctor and tell them that you are trying to concieve and that you have irregular periods. My doctor would not do anything until after we tried for a year. (Most couples get pregnant in 3 to 8 months) You don't have to worry yet. If it has been a year you can ask your doctor about Clomid or another drug to help you get pregnant.

Answer 4

I used to have very irregular periods, even when I was on the pill, however I never skipped month, when my husband and I after 6.5 years of marriage decided to have a baby I was kind of worried about me getting pregnant because of my irregular periods so this is what I did, I searched the net for ovulation predictors and I found a saliva test that works great!! It is a microscope where you put a drop of saliva every day and it tells you when you are about to ovulate and when you are ovulating. I got pregnant the first month we tried. The microscope is called Fertile Focus. Hope this helps and good luck to you.

Answer 5

Typically your rectal temperature goes up by one degree at the time of ovulation. You need to take this in the am before you get our of bed.
When you notice the temperature increase,This is the time you would want to have intercourse. You are fertile for about 3 days.
Just because your cycles are irregular does not necessarily mean you do not ovulate every 28 days or so. I would start the temperatures after your next period.
Good luck!

Answer 6

see an endocronologist. it sounds like you just have a hormone imbalance. that can be treated! don't just see a regular gynocologist, see a specialist that deals with infertility issues. i will tell you in advance that the endocronologist likes to see a person try for one year, unsuccessfully before they get involved... because getting pregnant even with VERY healthy women, it takes time and patience! i would recommend doing temperature charting here's a good site: www.infertilityfriend.com
it is free and it allows you to keep everything in the exact order that the doctor is going to want to see it. you can also try using ovulation prediction tests. it also sounds like it may be a good idea for you to read up on fertility signs... i can suggest this book: Your Fertility Signals" written by Merryl Winstein. there's a lot more to getting pregnant than just having sex for some people! best of luck

oh, body temperature can be oral temp or vaginal temp... no need to do rectal!

Answer 7

It is possible to have lighter than normal periods and not be pg. But if you're concerned, go ahead and test. Also, I highly recommend charting in the future to help keep track of your cycle.... it will help you know when you've ovulated and that will be a huge help in knowing when af should arrive. Go to fertilityfriend.com for more details. It also has free charting software to use. Good luck!

Answer 8

If you have irregular periods you need to have your doctor run some blood tests because if you are irregular due to low hormones, and you WERE to get preganant the low hormones may cause a miscarriage.

Answer 9

Ask your doctor about Chlomid. It is a pill that will regulate your ovulation cycle, while allowing you to become pregnant. FYI. Woman on Chlomid have a higher than normanl number of multiple births (twins, etc.)

Answer 10

Your prob kinda sounds like mine did from the beginning. If they are giving you medroxyprogesterone you need to have a saliva test done on your hormones and do all natural drugs refer to Dr John Lee what your DR may not tell you about your Hormones.
