Definitely you can conceive, but may take time, your ovaries take time to mature.
Missed or Irregular Periods
Topic Overview
Most women have between 11 and 13 menstrual periods each year. You may be different: You may have more or fewer. Missed or irregular periods must be looked at in terms of what is normal for you.
Periods are often irregular during the first few years after menstruation starts. It may take several years for the hormones that control menstruation to reach a balance.
Menstrual periods also may be very irregular at the other end of the menstrual years. Many women realize that they are approaching perimenopause and menopause when their otherwise regular periods become irregular. Menopause occurs when it has been 12 months since you have had a menstrual period.
Pregnancy is the most common cause of a missed period. If you might be pregnant, treat yourself as though you are pregnant until you know for sure. Use a home pregnancy test as the first step to finding out whether you are pregnant.
If you are not pregnant, other causes of missed or irregular periods include:
Excessive weight loss or gain. Although low body weight is a common cause of missed or irregular periods, obesity also can cause menstrual problems.
Eating disorders, such as anorexia or bulimia. For more information, see the topic Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia Nervosa.
Increased exercise. Missed periods are common in endurance athletes.
Extreme emotional stress.
Travel.
Medications, such as hormonal birth control methods, which may cause lighter, less frequent, more frequent, or skipped periods.
Hormonal abnormalities, which cause fluctuating levels of the hormones needed to support menstruation.
Illegal drug use.
Problems with the pelvic organs, such as imperforate hymen, polycystic ovary syndrome, or Asherman's syndrome.
Breast-feeding. Many women do not resume regular periods until they have completed breast-feeding.

You should be able to conceive but it will probably take you longer. If you are getting a period then you are likely ovulating at some point in your "cycle"... maybe you could try one of those ovulation predictor kits (OPK) to pinpoint when you are ovulating? Other signs are mild crampiness, more vaginal secretions than normal (in "egg white mucous" form). I'd recommend the kit though and if you don't have any luck over time, definitely talk to your dr.

Well you should be able to conceive. I say this because you have your period when your fertile tissue is dead and it is leaving your body through your period to create an new one and everytime that you do not fertilize your fertile wall in you utaris then you have your period.You can ask your doctor but I think I am right.

If you have irregular periods, you should talk to an OBGYN before trying to conceive. Usually, most women with irregular periods are able to conceive without any problems, but if you are planning to conceive, it is best to have a preconception visit to the doctor.

Yes hun..... I am the same way...... I bought C B & Easy ovulation kit.......... Within 1 month I got pregnant.... See after it detects your LH surge, you have 24-36 hr BEFORE you ovulate. With being so irregular, (like me) you need to know before you ovulate........ Try this http://www.verybestbaby.com ~ or http://www.americanpregnancy.org/getting... ~ It will really help you, as it did me...........

Probably, but you might need help from medication your OB-GYN can give you. Talk to her about it (that's what I did, and now I'm pregnant!).
