How to Track the Ovulation with Irregular Periods

 

Women’s menstrual cycle is not always the same. Regularly, it has 28-day of length. However, there are also women who have to deal with the irregular period because of some reasons. Although it is still considered as normal, you may find yourself in confusion, wondering when you can get pregnant.

Pregnancy can happen after the conception. It is when the male sperm has successfully fertilized the female egg. It is still possible to conceive even if you have irregular periods. Surprisingly, based on the anatomy and physical textbooks, your menstrual cycle is probably considered as regular. It comes every 23 days or every 35 days or anywhere between. But if it comes shorter than 21 days or longer than 36 days consistently, you can be sure for having the irregular periods. Fortunately, you have the chance to get pregnant even with the longer and more tiresome journey of waiting. The key is getting to know when you ovulate. Track the increasing level of luteinizing hormone (LH) using ovulation test strip. Prepare two or more packs of this OPK to check the LH surge regularly twice a day to make sure you do not miss the ovulation date.

Besides relying on the ovutest test trip, you are able to predict the ovulation with some other supporting tools. It is good to manually track the period cycle on the calendar. Pay attention to the change of cervical mucus too. If you are about to ovulate, the mucus will be plentiful, slippery, clear and stretchy. The significant fluctuation of body basal temperature also warns you the upcoming ovulation. To increase the chance of pregnancy, you are recommended to first have lifestyle changes that will naturally improve the hormone balance and help to make your menstruations more regular. Go to see the doctor to make sure that you have done the right effort in your pregnancy plan.
