Irregular Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation
We are taught that the best time to have intercourse in order to get pregnant is during ovulation. This fact is irrefutable and our “teachers” surely made getting pregnant sound easy and straightforward. However, in reality, many women don’t know when they are actually ovulating.
The first assumption that is probably making it difficult for you to get pregnant is the belief that your cycle is average and normal. Textbooks and teachers have long said that women ovulate on or around day fourteen of their monthly cycle. And while this may be true for many women, it isn’t true for all. Do you know if this applies to you? Do you know your unique ovulation cycle? If you want pregnancy to happen, don’t assume—learn more about your personal ovulation and menstrual cycle. All women are not created equal and this holds true for fertility as well. The concepts that we are taught are based on averages and perhaps your cycle falls outside of the average.. There are no exact numbers to follow. A twenty-eight day menstrual cycle is merely an example based on norms. In fact, these norms are even challenged by some members of the medical community.
Do you know YOUR menstrual cycle?
Just as our bodies vary from person to person, women’s cycles vary — anywhere from 21-days to 34 days (or even more). Still other women may have an irregular menstrual cycle; ovulation can be tricky to determine in these cases. Younger women who are just starting to menstruate tend to have irregular periods but they gradually “regularize” as they segue into adulthood. However, some women continue to have irregular periods throughout their lives, some even up to the time of menopause.
Women with varying or irregular cycles are more likely to suffer from infertility because they are unable to determine the best time to have intercourse in order to get pregnant. Highly irregular periods will make the “rhythm” or “calendar” method ineffective for both birth control and conception.
Oftentimes, women with irregular menses are prescribed drugs that can regulate or increase the frequency of menses and/or ovulation. However, these prescription medicines are not without side effects. You might want to take into consideration that the irregularity of your menstrual cycle is natural to you and perhaps you should not mess with it by taking unnecessary chemicals into your body. Of course, it’s up to you to weigh the pros versus the cons to decide what is best for your body and your needs.
Moreover, certain conditions and diseases that may interfere with ovulation, these should be ruled out before taking any action. More often than not, just a few tweaks to your diet and fitness level will make a huge difference in your ability to conceive.
