Irregular menstruation does not mean you are not as fertile as other women whose menstruation is always on time. However, if your menstrual schedule is often late for more than 36 days, it might be a good idea to see a doctor.
In some cases, irregular menstruation is caused by several diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome or thyroid disorders. This disorder can affect your chance to get pregnant, so the best for you is to get treatment as early as possible rather than procrastinating.
The more irregular your menstrual cycle, the more difficult it is for you to determine when the fertile period. Even though having sex in the fertile period is one of the keys to the success of pregnancy. To overcome this, practice detecting changes in fertility mucus in the vagina by checking it every day. Try to have sex when you realize your vagina is getting wet and slippery mucus for two consecutive days.
Some women use ovulation tests to determine their fertility days. Most of these devices detect the peak luteinization hormone (LH), which can trigger the release of eggs. You can use this tool to find out when your fertility period. But keep in mind, using this tool to schedule sexual intercourse does not mean the possibility of your pregnancy is higher, because there are other factors that also affect the occurrence of conception.
