Do Irregular Cycles Make It More Difficult? Posted: 01-12-06 16:47pm
I have cycles between 30-42 days, but
always have my period within that time
frame. My mother said it took her 3-4
years before she got pregnant. I have
been married two 1/2 years now &
haven't been preventing against it... But
i'm still not pregnant. Is this normal,
heridetary, is it because of my long
cycles, or should I be worried about an
underlying cause and/or infertility?

I read somewhere that if you have sex
every other day you should be able to
conceive on average within 6 months...
(anyone can correct me here, im going off
of what I thought I read a few days ago)
and fertility is not usually questioned
until after a year. I beleive you can buy
a test kit online that tests the amount of
sperm in semen. I thought I saw that too.
Just a thought.

My ob-gyn told me today that my being thin
(5' - 90#) is what is probably causing my
periods to be irregular... Which, (my
periods being irregular) is what is
causing it to take longer for me to get
pregnant. She said that when your periods
are irregular you don't ovulate every
single month, thus making it more
difficult to get pregnant (timing wise).
I hope this helps others in the same
situation to breathe a sigh of relief like
I did.
