Can I conceive?

Unread post by Queenie135 »

I'm a little nervous posting here, but hopefully you guys can help me! My fiance and I are TTC, but I'm worried, because of the irregularity of my period, that it will be difficult/impossible.
Basically my period only lasts 3-5 days, however.. Every six months or so it'll switch from the first week of the month to the last week of the month. I've taken fertility tests and they say I am fertile, but ovulation kits never give the same date, even when I take more than one in the same day.
Any and all advice would be great, thanks! :)

You'll pobably have to take ovulation tests more frequently. Also, you can check your temp and mucus thickness to tell when you're ovulating. Good luck and have lots of sex!

Definitely temp. If you are irregular I wouldn't even bother with OPKs. If for some reason you have PCOS, they can give you false positives. Baby Center has some articles about temping.

Have you seen your ob for a pre conception work up? If you are under 35, you TTC for a year before they investigate any issues, after 6 months if you're over 35

Good luck!! :D

I have nothing of real note to add except that I have very very similar periods to what you described, very irregular and I managed to conceive actually very quickly. Luck of the draw but it can be done. Lots and lots of sex!
