Me and my husband are ttc and in the last six months I've only had 2 periods. I have very irregular periods and sometimes will go months without one or maybe have 2 in a one month . My last one was in july and I"ve taken 3 pg tests and all negative so I know i'm not. Has anyone ever had this problem and what did u do??

You need to pinpoint ovulation and have intercourse during that time. It is possible to still be ovulating and not have your period.
The only way for you to know if and when you are ovulating is to take your basal body temp each morn, same time and before you get up. You should see a pattern in temps that leads up to and after ovulation. You can get the basal thermometer at Wal-Mart for about 8 dollars. I use a wonderful FREE website called Fertilityfriend.com...it graphs your temps for you, keeps track of your fertility signs, tells you when you ovulate and also tells you if there is an implantation dip in your temps. You can also use Ovulation prediction kits, but they only measure your LH surge and give you a ball park time for ovulation...they do not pin point it. Oh, and it is possible to be ovulating while you do not have your period, just like it is possible to have a period and not ovulate.

you need to talk to a proffesional about this.

What is an irregular period?
At the clinic we answer questions all the time about irregular periods. A textbook period happens every 24-29 days, but in truth what is “regular” covers a wide range. Cycles between 23–35 days are very common. A woman may get her period only one to four times a year. Or she might have periods that occur two to three times in a month and involve spotting or extremely heavy flow. Alternatively, she may have heavy episodes of bleeding every two to three months. Irregular periods are simply what is irregular for you.

For the most part, we don’t worry at the clinic about a missed period or two over the course of a year. More variation than that may indicate to us the beginning of perimenopause or a disruption of the natural chain of hormonal events that controls menstruation. A wide variety of factors can be responsible for irregular periods, among them:

Significant weight gain or loss
Over-exercise
Poor nutrition (or a diet too high in carbohydrates)
Smoking
Drug use
Caffeine
Excessive alcohol use (interfering with how the liver metabolizes estrogen and progesterone)
Eating disorders
Increased stress
Polycystic ovarian syndrome/estrogen dominance
Uterine abnormalities (fibroids/cysts/polyps/endometriosis)
Hormonal imbalance related to perimenopause
Medications
Chemotherapy
Recent childbirth, miscarriage, or D&C
Breastfeeding

I never had this problem, but i would suggest since its been 6 months that u go right to a RE who can figure this all out for you..If your not ready for that step , I would suggest a LH predictor kit.. or for you KITS and just keep testing every day and when u get that lh surge have sex on the appropraite days.. But if that doesn't work you should probably see a Doc.. Goodluck!

Have you ever been tested for pcos ( polycystic ovarian syndrome )? If not, I would strongly recommend talking to your Gyne and seeing if these blood tests can be performed. They tes the fsh and lh and estrogen levels to see if they are all at normal range to enable conception.

Good luck!!!!
