Irregular menstrual cycles can be due to
lack of ovulation (egg-cell expulsion). A
"period" without ovulation is not a real
menstrual period and usually it is not
followed by cramps. Instead, when a woman
does not ovulate, she does not experience
pain; it is a painless period. Real
periods come after ovulation and they are
usually painful. Lack of ovulation can be
due to a disorder of the axis
hypothalamus-pituitary gland-ovaries.
Hormonal analyses (FSH, LH, estrogen,
progesterone, prolactin, thyroxin,
testosterone, DHEA…) should be checked.
Further, alcohol and cigarettes can damage
spermatogenesis, or the production of
sperm. If your boyfriend is ready and
willing to give up smoking, he may become
more fertile.
You can’t sense the fertilization of the
egg-cell that happens in the fallopian
tube.
