Before I got pregnant, I was bang on 28 days every month. I had my baby 18 months ago and breast fed for 10 months. I din't have a period for the whole time I was breast feeding but started the day after I gave up (give me a break please). Since then my periods have been all over the place - 39 days, 36 days, 25 days. I want to get pregnant again but I can't work out when I'll be ovulating. Is this something I should see a doctor about? I keep hearing about Clomid and I wonder if that might help. Grateful for advice.

I should say I'm 36, so I don't really want to hang around and find out if this all settles on its own unless I have to. The old biological clock is ticking!

The length of time is jumping all over the place - 39 days last month, 25 this.

I have this same problem and it's driving me insane! Some months I'm right on again, and then the next it's back to being wacky. It's a real pain in the butt, especially when you're trying to conceive again. We've been unsuccessful for a few months now, even with ovulation test sticks. I actually haven't had a positive test since we started. I saw my doctor, and she is checking my hormones to make sure that I AM ovulating, and hopefully WHEN it's happening. Everything is so out of whack that it's impossible to know when to try anymore. I definitely feel your pain. If you find out anymore information, please pass it along! Good luck to you!

Firstly,where you on The Pill before you had your baby? As that would have kept you regular to 28 days.After a child,and breastfeeding,mine was never what was deemed as "regular".Remember too, I believe it is the10th day after the end of your last period that is usually the day you start to ovulate again.Keep a record of your temperature,as this also denotes ovulation has started,as it rises slightly.
If though you are still concerned,by all means see your doctor,and as you have pointed out,age isn't on your side,so take all the help you can get.Best wishes :)

After I had my girls my periods have become very irregular as
well, however I had an IUD placed and hardly ever do get a
period, but as for you I think you should see a doctor they can
definentaly help you conceive.
Good Luck and God Bless.

Once infertility has been diagnosed, there are a number of treatment options available depending on the root cause of the problem. Learn here https://tr.im/G7Cce
Infertility is a condition defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Women who suffer from multiple miscarriages may also be diagnosed as infertile. Infertility may be classified into two groups, primary and secondary infertility.

Your period can take a long time to regulate after having a child but dont wait for it to because you can of course get pregnant before it does. Give yourself a year before consulting your doctor about medications and allow yourself and your husband to enjoy being with each other have sex frequently and often and forget about your desire to get pregnant you are only stressing yourself and your body. Let go and enjoyr yourself and you are bound to get pregnant. Good luck and have fun.

This is something that you should definitely see the doctor about. If is something serious honey, it is better to go the doctor on time and be able to do something before is too late. If is nothing serious he/she will probably put you on a birth control pills plan to get your period back in track. Take care.

So it's been 8 mos since you stopped breastfeeding?
I would have expected to see it begin to fall into a pattern in that time. Are they jumping around in length or gradually getting shorter?

Have you tried ovulation tests and noting down your cycle? You can work out the average over 6 months and use that. If you're worried, see your doctor.

hm, your hormone level is changing ! after 10 months breastfeeding it most probly takes another 10 months to get a regular menstural cycle again.
clomid are for women who has problem to ovulate ! and i doubt it that you have any problems with it.
my advise is... wait or get the clearblue fertilitymonitor...about 90 quit if you buy it from a store .. try ebay a lot cheaper .. i have done it.
