Always had irregular periods, what are my chances?
Hi there,
I've just joined after having my implant out. I'm so excited to be trying for a baby and I've already introduced myself over on Trying For A Baby forum...
...However, I'm already niggled because I have NEVER had regular periods and always had massive problems with them. Even when on no contraceptive like the pill, I only have 1 or 2 periods a year.
I don't see how it is possible that I can conceive naturally with this against me! I'm already having doubts and this is day 2!
Is there anyone here in a similar situation to me? I'd really appreciate your thoughts/story.

Good luck let me know how you go on xxxx
I think its hard to say too much about your chances, but I can say I've heard of plenty of people on this forum who have irreguar periods and concieved naturally and quickly. But a good many who had problems too (me included- I always had a "feeling" that things wouldn't be easy).
Don't lose heart (apparently pma can help!), but I wouldn't hesitate to get help if you're not pregnant in 8 months.
Using body temperatures and ovulation predictor kits (I buy mine from a fertility website) can help pinpoint your ovuation if you have irregular cycles.
Good luck!
I'm someone who has no periods at all. Unfortunately I can't say I got pregnant easily! I'm a 18month ttc at the mo. There are plenty of girls on here though that seem to have got pregnant quickly despite irregular cycles. Don't lose heart. It might be easy, but if it turns out not to be, there's plenty of us here to go through the trials of ttc with!

Thanks so much for the replies!!
If you don't mind me asking, are any of you who have had problems on the "larger" side? I've looked into clomid but understand you are unlikely to get it if you have a high bmi?
Sorry, I realise I just started my journey but I have wanted a baby for 2 years! Just haven't got around to it...
POCO and overweight normally go hand in hand as well.
Hate to be a downer but have you thought of that?
Has the specialist said what he/she thinks is wrong at this stage? xx
