my friend has irregular periods. unlike me her periods are irregular and doesnt know when she is ovulating the tests say she is but nothing seems to happen for her. I told her to try having sex everyday and maybe she will get pregnant one way or another was i wrong or should i have told her something else. she doesnt want to go to a doctor for it just yet.

Actually having sex everyday could possibly lead to low sperm count in her partner. A lot of women that have irregular periods have a hormonal imbalance and need to be checked by their OB/GYNs to rule out low progesterone, because if it is too low it can lead to miscarriage.

I think it depends on how long she has been trying. Taking the tests don't necessarily mean you are ovulating. The ovulating tests tell you that you have a certain amount of a hormone called LH Hormone this indicates that you are about to ovulate. You don't necessarily know for sure that you are ovulating unless you go to the OBGYN to find out for sure. Having sex everyday will not help the situation. It will actually hurt it because each time you have sex it will lower the sperm count and chances for pregnancy. I would tell her to try to chart her cycles and find away to see how long they are. The only way to find out is to track it naturally. Try www.fertilityfriend.com or do a google search for other online tracking it will tell you how to track your cycles. Once she does that it may help her obgyn find out some answers for her. Keep in mind age may be a factor as well. In some cases it is not necessarily the woman either it could be the man as well.
Hope this helps.

Yes, you were wrong! You need to abstain from sex 7 days prior to the ovulation cycle to build up the little swimmers. Don't use lubricants during sex, it kills the little sperms and she needs to stay in bed after sex for at least an hour and just going to sleep after sex is recommended. It lets gravity help thinks out a bit.

We tried for 18 months to get pg. Finally, I decided that we were going to have sex everyday for a month! On top of that, I stayed on my back with my hips elevated for a while after each time. Four weeks later, I was pg.
