Can You Get Pregnant With Irregular Periods? Is My Period Irregular?

Basal Body Temperature Chart to track irregular periods.

Irregular periods are a symptom of possible infertility. But do irregular periods mean you will definitely have trouble getting pregnant?

Not necessarily. While it may make getting pregnant trickier, having an irregular period doesn't always lead to infertility. Whether or not you'll have trouble getting pregnant depends on just how irregular your periods are, what the cause of the irregular periods are, and whether you can time sex for pregnancy well.

How regular your periods are is just one aspect of your menstrual health. There are other factors -- like how long your periods are, how heavy your bleeding is, or how bad your cramps are -- that also should be taken into consideration. There are also symptoms of infertility besides irregular periods. Check out these two quizzes to learn more:

Eh, its more of an art than a science bc every women is dneefrfit. However, the sorta standard guideline is that you will actually conceive within 48 hours (I believe) of the sperm meeting the egg. Now, spermies can live in ur body up to 3 days. This practically buys you a week. Meaning, you coulda had sex last Friday, lets say, and if ur were in your fertile window, you could become pregnant like the following Wednesday.Hey, if you have a smart phone (or I suppose u could just use a program you find on the internet right on ur computer instead) look for an app called my days or a sister app. LOVE IT!!! Its a color coded calendar (by you), where you indicate what days you had sex, when ur period began/stopped, etc. With that info, it lets you know when ur most likely to be fertile which is great info whether you are, or are not, TTC.Congrats!!! Sorry to say .Im a bit jealous myself! lol
