How To Get Pregnant With An Irregular Menstrual Cycle

We were taught at a young age that a woman’s menstrual cycle is normally 28 days, with the assumption that ovulation occurs on day 14. However, this is not true for everybody. I would sometimes get regular periods but would often go two to three months between cycles. If your menstrual cycle varies by more than a few days between each other then you have an irregular period.

Many factors influence when you ovulate and how long your cycles last. The key to getting pregnant is to understand your body so that you can time intercourse to maximize the chance of conception. Having an irregular period can make this difficult but if you know the signs of ovulation by paying attention to your cervical fluid and recording your basal body temperature it will be much easier to determine when you are ovulating.

In the next series of posts, I will go over how you can do this so check back often for more updates.
