May be a silly question to some people, but I have irregular periods, I want to know if you ovulate the same time every month, even with irregular periods?

No, the reason your period is irregular is because you aren't ovulating at the same time each month. When you ovulate your body releases and egg, if it isn't fertilized then after about 2 weeks you body will shed the egg along with the uterine lining. In about 2 weeks you will ovulate again. The date of your period will depend on when you ovulated. If ovulation is irregular, then your period will also be irregular.

Caroline copies this answer to people ttc every day. I think she has a financial interest in the book as i have read her same answer to anyone ttc no less than 10 times in the last week. You may not be ovulating at all. I have irregular periods too and it took me 4 years to concieve my son even after several failed fertility treatments. you could buy strips that test to see if you are ovulating or a maybe baby ovulation microscope but these are costly and ineffective if you dont happen to be ovulating at all. You would be better off charting your temps and looking at cervical mucous and any ovulations twinges. I am ttc baby number 2 and have just taken naltrexone for one cycle - i am waiting to see if it has resulted in a pregnancy. It works by blocking opiate receptors in the brain which can be affected by stress and impact on ovulation. I have also bought fertilaid to start next cycle as i have read that a lot of people have had success with this. Given that your cycle is irregular i would see a spacialist - depending how keen you are to conceive. He or she might recommend Clomid or ovulation induction after looking in to the cause of your irregular cycle. Godd luck.

No, you don't ovulate the same time every cycle ESPECIALLY if you have irregular periods. The only part of your cycle that doesn't usually vary too much is the time after you ovulate to the time you start your period also known as your luteal phase. If you are trying to discover when you ovulate, I reccomend you read Taking Charge of Your Fertility It's a great resource on how to chart your body's signs and learn when/if you ovulate and better predict when your period is actually due. There's also http://www.fertilityfriend.com where you can track your fertility free of charge and you get a cool graph to help pinpoint things by sight.

A woman normally ovulates 14 days before her period starts. With irregular cycles it would be almost impossible to pinpoint when you do ovulate or if you even do ovulate.

The only thing that is normally consistant with a woman's cycle is the number of days between when she ovulates and when her period starts. Normally this is 14 days, but even that isn't set in stone. But the days between your period and the day you ovulate, is what normally varies with irregular periods.

If your periods are irregular, you will not ovulate the same time.

your period means the completion of your ovulation time. the uterus prepares for fertilazation, then if you don't become pregnant when you are fertile, you have a period, it cleans out the uterus and egg. So no, you definately have irregular ovulation times if you have irregular periods. There are methods to find your ovulation time though, temperature, and checking for cervix position, and mucus. if you want to get pregnant here is a sight http://www.ovulation-calculator.com/ and if you want to prevent pregnancy here is a site too http://www.contraceptiononline.org/slides/slide01.cfm?tk=16

No. If your periods are off, your ovulation cycle is off. The only way to check this is to use an ovulation kit that you buy at the store, or use basal thermometer every morning before you get out of bed. Your temperature increases slightly at the time of ovulation.

No, it won't be the same every cycle, but there are ways to track your cycle so you can find out when ovulation is occuring.
I've used the "sympto thermal method" for a few years with lots of succss.

No. Especially if your periods are irregular.
