very, very irregular....

[tizzabella]

Hey, I was just wondering, I'm very irregular. For example one month my period could be from 30-35 days appart, and the next 20-25 days appart. Does anyone else experince this? I find it very emotionally draining, and frustrating.

Also my partner and I have also been thinking about trying for a baby. Has anyone got any advice on how we can improve our chances (other than lots of sex Obvioulsy)? being so irregular, its pretty hard to figure out when i ovulate, and are most fertile!!

As some of you may know we've been trying for a couple of months now, and i tend to get very simular symptoms as pregnancy, but never turn out to be a postive- its quite upsetting sometimes, for both of us, expecially if i'm a few weeks late for my period.

Please: help, answers, support and sugestions are very much appreicated!!

okay thank you, i will do some looking into it, Congrats on the new pregnancy, good luck and i hope you have no complications!
Thinking if nothing happens in a couple of months going to the doctors, see if they can give me anything, or so extra advice.
thank you again xXx

oh, there are other birth controls such as the mirena IUD, which regulate your periods and do not cuase headaches like the pill.  keep that in mind for the future:)

no you do not start using them right after your period, that would be a big waste of money.  you are supposed to start them around the week that you could potentially ovulate around.  there is also takign your temp with a basal thermometer, which you can now get at walgreens and checking your cervical mucous.  look up those things, if you put them all together it might help.  i know with a 2 day cycle, you usually start using ovulation sticks around like day 9 or 10 but with an irregular cycle, i would research those other things and put them all together,

thank you for your support with my MC.  i am actually almost 12 weeks pregnant again and things are going very well so i am trying to stay very positive right now.

Thanks for the advice, and you didn't offend me at all, its understanble.
Yes our next move is ovulation kits, do you have anymore advice about them? I use the the day my period finishes? Okay.
Yes I have been to the doctors about taking the pill, i'm actually alergic so some kinds of B/C pills, My mother can't take them cause of visual headaches, and same with me.
But since we've decided on trying for a baby, i have put that thought aside. But i will certialy go back after we have our baby!
Thank you for the advice, it is quite frustating not having a clear idea when your going to have your period!
Sorry to hear about your miscarrige to.
xXx

oops i meant to say when you come off of it you wont have irregular cycles.

[leighanne143]

ok tizzabella- i just check out ages before i give any advice, sorry if i offended you.  but yes the best way to check is with ovulation kits.  they are pretty cheap at walmart.  also did your doctor ever tell you to go on birth control in the past because it helps regulate periods so that when you come off of it, you would have regular cycles?  maybe after you and your fiance have a baby, you can try that to see if it works.  i used to have very irregular cycles and i got on birth control and it helped so much.  when i got off of them, my period was still very regular.  only after my miscarriage did it go a little wacky but back on track.

i usually do not give TTC responses on the 20 and under forum.  if you do not mind me asking, how old are you?

Have you tried to use an ovulation prediction test. You are supposed to start using it the day you period stops and it should tell you your two most fertile days each month.
