Trouble with ovulation and irregular periods Posted: 12-10-06 18:45pm
I have a 2 year old daughter and have
never had problems getting pregnant
before. I always thought i was very
fertile, but now that my fiancee and I
have been trying to get pregnant aand
cannot conceive at all. I have tried the
Ovulation kits and they have not shown
positive. I have been recording when I
ovulate and so far I have getting my
period on the 19th of the month except for
last month which I started on the 11th as
well as this month the 9th. All of a
sudden my periods are irregular and
according to the ovulation kits, I am not
ovulating. What do I do?? When I was 23
yrs. old, I got pregnant and lost the
baby, so when I got pregnant with my 2 yr.
old, I usedthe ovulation kit and it
worked. When my daughter was about 5
months old I gor pregnant but had a
miscarriage at 10 wks. Now I am finding
that I can't even get pregnant. When I was
four months pregnant with my daughter I a
cerclage put on. My doctor told me that I
have an incompetent cervix. Please help me
is there something wrong with me??
According to your description, you are
probably experiencing secondary sterility.
Irregular cycles/periods are typical for
cycles without ovulation. Without
ovulation, conception is impossible.
Ovulation can be confirmed with an
ovulation predictor kits and by measuring
basal temperature. Detecting progesterone
in the blood also confirms ovulation. An
incompetent cervix can cause miscarriage
but can’t disturb conception. There is
nothing you can do but to ask for medical
help from a gynecologist.
