irregular period and conception?

Question

Since January I have been keeping track of my periods. The following are the day between periods since than: 43, 36, 68, 52, 39, and 44. I have been having irregular periods since I started my period when I was 16, I am now 24 and they still aren’t normal.
I was on birth control for 2 years when I was 20 and they were normal when i was on the pill but not before and not after. Nothing abnormal ever showed up on my pap test, I once had irregular cells but I went for further testing and it was nothing.
My husband and I want to start to try to have a baby within the next year, and I just wanted to know if anyone has the same problem or any information about the irregular periods and conception? Or even just irrugular periods

Answer 1

I am 31 and have had irregular periods since i got them at 14. I was on the pill til i was about 25 and when i decided to try for a baby at 27 - i had trouble. After about a year of trying i saw a fertility specialist and was tested for all the usual things such as early menopause, thyroid etc. I went on to do 3 years of fertility treatments, namely clomid and Ovulation Induction without success. I am 31 and was told that i should try IVf next and knew that i wasnt ready. Instead i booked a trip overseas and then fell pregnant naturally and found out 2 weeks before i ws due to fly out.

I am now 25 weeks pregnant with my first child.

Its hard to tell if you will have trouble or not falling pregnant - just because i did doesnt mean that you will. It might be harder to time sex with ovulation but i am proof i guess that you can still fall pregnant naturally.

Best of luck to you. My advice would be if it takes more than 6-12 months is for you to see a specialist straight away.

Good luck.

Answer 2

I am very irregular and before I had my first daughter, I had a difficulty getting pregnant. After i got pregnant with her, I became "Fertile Mertile" and now with my fourth pregnancy. I had her when i was 21 and im 25 now. I am still irregular. I had a stillbirth a little over nine months ago and about 2 mths after i gave birth to him, I became pregnant again. I never had a period by the way. I hope that helps.

Answer 3

Menstrual cycles that vary more than a few days in length from month to month are considered irregular cycles or periods. Most menstrual cycle intervals occur about every four weeks, with the normal range between 24 and 35 days. To measure your menstrual cycle, start counting from the first day of your last period and stop counting on the first day of your next period. Don't worry if you have one or two irregular cycles because occasionally all women have variations in their periods. True irregularity persists over several months. So if you do notice wide fluctuations in your cycle, speak to your doctor about it.

Irregular periods and getting pregnant
Irregular periods can be troublesome when trying to get pregnant. Irregular or abnormal ovulation and menstruation accounts for 30% to 40% of all cases of infertility. Irregularity, per se, is not necessarily a problem if you learn how to chart your fertility signs, especially cervical fluid, to determine when you are approaching your short window of fertility. But, if cycles are very long, it means by definition, that ovulation is not occurring as often as it would with a typical monthly cycle, a condition known clinically as anovulation.

There are numerous factors that determine how fertile a woman is, such as her age, whether and how often she ovulates, whether her cervical fluid is wet enough to sustain sperm, whether her fallopian tubes are open, etc. But the most important of all is the release of the egg itself. If you don't release an egg, meaning you don't ovulate, you don't have as many opportunities to get pregnant.

Treatment for irregular periods
Women with irregular periods are often prescribed fertility drugs like Clomid to increase the number of ovulation periods. But if you would rather try a more natural approach, you might want to see a naturopathic doctor first to see if they can prescribe a less harsh treatment.

Although anovulation can usually be treated with fertility drugs, it is important to rule out other conditions that could interfere with ovulation, such as liver disease, diabetes, problems with the ovaries, and abnormalities of the adrenal, pituitary, or thyroid glands, which produce important hormones.

I have the same problem at you. It took me and my husband 5 years of trying to get our 2nd. I'm taking provera to now to help me get a regular cycle started and even though my hormone levels are all normal my doctor put me on metformin to help with ovulation. If i'm not pregnant by jan then I go on clomid. Its very hard to tell when your ovulating when you have irregular periods. The best way to tell is to get to know your body and the kind of changes you have when ovualting. For ppl like doing your temp in the morning doesnt work b/c ur temp doesnt go up until after ovualtion and when we dont have normal cycle then we dont ovulate like normal ppl.
