Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had periods on 30th of last month. I do not really know when my ovulation is because I have irregular menses and I am trying to conceive.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is a really short description of your query. In an irregular cycle, it seems around 30 to 35 days, better to have sex on alternate days on expected days of ovulation. It is better to have combined oral contraceptive pills for three months to regulate your cycle and then try. Have a balanced diet, exercise daily, have lots of fruits and vegetables. Try to have a complete checkup and get treatment for any health issues you and your husband may have. Do some recreational activities but you and your husband both must avoid recreational drugs . If the cycle is regular of 28 days, then the fertile period is from day 9 to day 13 to have a continuous sex; but in an irregular prolonged cycle, have sex on alternate days on suspected ovulation days like from day 9 to day 20 of your cycle roughly on alternate nights. You can also take Folic acid tablets.

Take care.
