Why are my periods irregular and can they affect my chance of getting pregnant?
Don’t worry if you have one or two irregular cycles because occasionally all women have variations in their periods. True irregularity persists over several months. So if you do notice wide fluctuations in your cycle, speak to your doctor about it. Irregular periods can be troublesome when trying to get pregnant. Irregular or abnormal ovulation and menstruation accounts for 30% to 40% of all cases of infertility. Depending on the cause of your irregular period, getting pregnant sometimes needs the assistance of your doctor. If you have periods that are unpredictable, irregular, or more than three months apart, see your health care provider for help.
