OK, so I have 3 children and my husband and I want one more, we have been trying for 5 months now with no luck. Never had a problem before planned them and had them. This time for some reason its more difficult. I have always had a regular period and now since I stopped nursing my son a year ago I get my period between 27 and 37 days apart. Anyone know how to re regulate my period again, or even how I would go about getting pregnant with such an off schedual. Please no responses saying you already have 3 thats enough, we both want one more, what can we do. Also at what point should I be nervous that I am not pregnant yet.

Every woman has unique cycles. Some women have "textbook" cycles" but many do not. Even if you have a 28 day cycle, there's no guarantee you have a 14 day luteal phase (time after ovulation and before the next period). You may have a shorter LP which could dramatically affect when you are actually fertile.
Conception also requires that you have fertile cervical fluid. Sperm can only survive in the woman's body for 30 min to 4 hours WITHOUT fertile CF. In the presence of fertile CF (especially the most fertile, egg-white like CF) sperm can survive 5 days. Since CF dries up quickly after ovulation, the best time to have intercourse is really BEFORE ovulation when fertile CF is present.
Some good sources: Fertilityfriend.com (free software as well as a pay-for version and on-line charting turorial); ovusoft.com (discussion boards for many fertility related issues, much info on fertility after the pill, and a very good software for purchase). The books Taking Charge of Your Fertility (associated w/ the the ovusoft website and software) and Garden of Fertility.

it can take a normal healthy couple up to a year to conceive before they should see a fertility specialist. With irregular periods, there is no way to regulate them, and makes it extremely difficult to know when you are ovulating.there are only two things i would suggest. first, get ovulation test, and use them to find out when you ovulate or second, stress and the want to get pregnant cause a lot of people to not be able to. The most effective way i've seen is to simply have sex the middle weeks of your cycle every other day, but don't chart too much (some just have sex every other day the whole time they are off their period) just let things happen on their own. (but remember every other day beause sperm can live for days in there, and that gives your hubby enough time to produce a good sperm count for the next batch) good luck!

I know how you feel! I'm going through the same thing right now. Have you tried ovulation kits? I've been using them off and on for a few months, and they seem to do a really good job of predicting ovulation! You may want to give them a try and see what happens. If you have no luck, make an appt. to see your doctor to see what's up. Good luck!!

hi, while you're no longer getting your era month to month you will possibly no longer be ovulating each month.you could chart that way you will see while you're/once you ovulate. I even have Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome that reasons me to have strange classes and that i too became on the tablet in view that i became youthful and an analogous factor got here approximately. there are a number of distinctive motives for strange classes, sorry yet i might seek for advice from including your well-being practitioner.

Go to a fertility specialist, he can prescribe medication to regulate your period and track your menstral cycle to pinpoint your prime ovulation date. Birth control pills have also been used to regulate your period. See your ob.

You may want to talk to your doctor or have you tried ovulation kits? I have found them fairly good to record ovulation time. I never used them before but have recently and i find they are quite helpful. Good luck xx

Your periods aren't all that irregular in all actuality! I would try doing a fertility monitor that way you can pinpoint exactly when you ovulate.
