I get it every 2 1/2 months if I'm lucky. Ever since my daughter was born almost 5 years ago. I have a hard time getting pregant. Once I do I miscarry. Is their something I can do to help. Herbal medications? I tried normal fertility drugs and it didn't work.

Have your dr check you for PCOS. I had the same problem...almost 3yrs after my son was born I wasnt able to get pregnant or stay pregnant when I did. I was tested and found out I had it and was put on Metformin. My first month on it I got pregnant and now have a healthy 2mth old daughter!
Prior to my son, my periods were nuts, just like yours...getting pregnant with him was a miracle because I did it without meds or even trying. Good luck!

First of all I would suggest seeing your gynocologist. Some General practitioners will just put you on the birth control for a few months to try and get your period regulated. You should also look into POLYSYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME. My sister has the same problem as you, she has an 8 yr. old daughter, and has not since gotten her period regular. There are meds out there to try and regulate you. As for the miscarriages...well, that is just God's way , because usually when there is a miscarriage, it means something would have been wrong with the baby. Do not give up hope. There is so much out there that the Doctors can do now. When the time is right, it will happen.

i know you said you did normal fertility drugs, but which ones, sounds like your problem is similar to mine, My progesterone is low! So if I do get pregnant I would miscarry, and I also have very irregular cycles, one every 3 or 4 months so my midwife just put me on Prometrium, I will take 1 capsule for 14 days, on days 14 through 30 of my cycle This will help me #1 Get pregnant, she said she would be "surprised" if i didnt get pregnant on the 2nd or 3rd month of this, this helps sustain blood in the uterus for the egg to implant in, some women take it to get pregnant and some women have to take it throughout their 2 nd trimester, she said it is safe to take and either way wont harm anything. #2 This helps induce a period if you are not pregnant, after you stop taking the pills if you are not pregnant your progesterone levels drop and thus you get your period 3 to 5 days after the last pill! I have only been TTC for 6 or 7 months and my midwife already put me on it, ( I am only 22 too!) after checking my thyroid and other hormones levels with a blood test...I would write down your symptoms and problems, research everything write it down and make an appt, go into it will a plan of what you would like to do and Your gyno might surprise you and take you up on it...good luck

My sister-in-law had the same problem. Her ovaries would produce eggs, but wouldn't release them so they could be fertilized. Has your doctor said anything about something like this. Fertility medication worked for her, but I'm not sure what kind she used. Sorry the ones you've tried haven't helped. Sorry, I don't know anything about herbal medications. Best of luck to you.

My periods are like that and ive been preggo twice!
Maybe try Vitex
Vitex
It is a wonderful tonic to enhance the chances of conception through its ability to regulate ovulation and if taken through the first trimester, vitex will reduce the chances of miscarriage. After the birth, it helps a new mother to produce plenty of milk.
For women who are trying to get pregnant, Vitex may be helpful to help regulate the ovulatory cycle.
It appears to increase progesterone by stimulating luteinizing hormone release from the pituitary gland. Vitex also normalizes excessive prolactin, promoting fertility.
This is another that I have never tried but it had Vitex in it.....
