The best way to start things out is by paying attention to your body. I like to chart my basal body temperature and cervical mucus. Check out the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. This book give in-depth details about your body and how to read your own fertility signs. It's a great way to get the ball rolling and by charting your doctor can follow along and understand your cycles as well.

Just spend a few dollars (or you might already have one) on a thermometer. Take you temp. every day in the morning right after you wake up. Your temp should average out when you are the first part of your cycle which is controlled by estrogen. Then after you ovulate your temperatures will rise and average out higher then before. That part of your cycle is controlled by progesterone. Even if your cycles are irregular this should work and give you a better insight to your cycle. Just keep a notebook and read as many books as you can on the subject. Arming yourself with knowledge is one of the best things you can do. There are lots of options and I know it is hard sometimes but keep trying and you'll be holding that little one before you know it! Good luck!

I have irreguler period and I am not ovulating because of PCOS, if your will in to have a baby your dr would do some test to see if you ovulate on your own, if you dnt then he/she would perscribe clomid to you to induce ovulation, the best way to get pregnant if you do ovulate on your won is to have sex every other day, so that the sperm can get mature and swim to the release egg when you ovulate
I am currently on clomid 50mg did it for 2 cycles this month would be taking 100mg

I had the same problem. I went to the doctor and I was put on pills to regulate my period. You can also use a fertility monitor..that will tell you when you ovulate. Or you can get some Ovulation Predictor sticks. They are not very expensive and they are effective. I would go to your OB and see what he/she suggests.

You can try ovulation predictor kits, never worked for me but worth a shot. I ended up taking Clomid to induce ovulation, but like previously mentioned, have sex every other day for best chance.

Have you tried an ovulation test? You can buy it at Walmart or the grocery store...

Save yourself a lot of frustration and heartache...go to your doctor and get checked to make sure you don't have endo or PCOS. My hubby & I were ttc on our own for 3 years before I finally admitted to myself that it just wasn't gonna happen on its own. I went to the dr. & was diagnosed with endo. Still trying to get pregnant, but now I'm not as frustrated!
