With irregular cycles such as yours it becomes hard to predict ovulation. You can try using ovulation test kits..however that could become expensive for those long cycles.\n\nYou might want to consider trying a saliva ovulation microscope. They are reusable and for around $20.00, well worth the money. I've included a link on how to use them as well as a link for a good, inexpensive one

First off what do you mean by skipping periods??  \n\nMissing a period is normal.  Although if it happens regualrily then you definitly need to see a doctor.  \n\nYou will very rarely be able to get pregnant if you have irregular periods.

Yes, it is possible to be pregnant and still have a period for a month or two. If she is worried, have her get a home pregnancy test.

well... i wouldn't rule it out completely cuz our uteri are strange and complex (and sometimes just downright carazzzy) things.  it is, however, unlikely.  there is actually a period of only two or three days when your uterus is primed for baby making, this happens a couple days before your period (the shedding of all those baby-making materials).  are you having sex regularly (cuz sometimes the actual act of having sex after a while could be such a shock to your lonely little uterus that it switches things up on you).  i had really, really, irregular periods from the time i started (11?) until the time i started having sex (almost 21).  me having sex straightened out my cycle and they have been pretty regular since.  of course, the safest bet is to take a pregnancy test and find out, but have a little relief in knowing that you are PROBABLY in the clear.  also, it goes without saying that if you do not want babies you need to be using not only birth control, but a condom as well (two types of contraception are always better than one being that none is 100% fool proof)

The other answer is correct. But ovulation does not occur during the period. The first day of the period is the first day of the cycle. So count about 9 days or so from the first day of the period and this is usually when ovulation occurs, so this would be the time to get pregnant. Best chances of avoiding pregnancy is just before or during the period because this is when the body flushes out the dead egg. HOWEVER every woman's cycle is different, so you should probably be using protection or she she should be on birth control just to be sure.

Absolutely, they can.  There's that many things that can affect the mentrual cycle.  However, if you did have sex any time within the period of your last period until now, get a pregnancy test; because unless you used a condom, etc and it didn't break, there's a chance you can be preggers.

Hey, I started taking the pill for irregular periods as well, when I started taking it I hadn't had a period for about 5 or 6 months. After my first month, I had the worst period of my life, I honestly almost called an ambulance I was bleeding so much. It wasn't a pleasant experience at all. But since that first month, I've had absolutely no problems at all, I've been on it 18 months now. I take the last pill of my pack on a Friday, and I get my period Tuesday, it's not particularly heavy and I don't have much pain with it. It usually lasts until about Saturday, but the last couple of days are very light. I think it's definitely worth taking if your periods are as irregular as mine were, even worth the terrible time I had at the end of the first month! But hopefully you won't be the same as me - good luck!

My periods were late by 15 days last month but I am not pregnant. Generally my cycle is pretty regular. The odds of three pregnancy tests being wrong are slim, but there is a minuscule chance.

You might be going through menopause.  If you aren't having any period at all that means you aren't ovulating, so I would think that you getting pregnant wouldn't be an option.  You should talk to your obgyn and ask her just to be sure - and she could probably better tell you if you are going through menopause or if you might be having some chemical imbalance that is causing you to have irregular periods.

boy do I have a story for you!  I once had my period for 23 day straight.  I first went to my normal doctor and she did absolutely nothing.  No tests were run or anything.   I then went to the gyno hoping for an answer.  He preceeded to tell me that it was because I was fat and that the fat cells give off more estrogen and that can prolong your period.  I went home crying still not knowing exactly what to do about the problem.

I believe what you are asking is if you could be pregnant from intercourse two months ago, after two months of normal periods--correct?  \n\nIf so, the answer is YES!  Some women have their period for the entire length of their pregnancy in fact.  A friend of mine didn't know she was pregnant until she was 7 months along--as her periods came and went like normal that whole time.

Many times stress can throw your period out of whack and cause you to have late or skipped periods.  If you're a few days late, no sweat.  If you're weeks late, that might be a cause for concern.  Ovulation usually occurs in the middle of your cycle and is the best time to get pregnant, so a few days after your preiod shouldn't have gotten you pregnant.  But that's not a guarantee.  Get a pregnancy test and use it, don't stress, and it'll probably all work out just fine.  \n\nGood luck!!

Most likely not.  While it is possible to have you period while pregnant, it is rare.  You probably just had an irregular period.  If you are really worried take a home pregnancy test.  As long as you used protection though I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Yes, you can get pregnant while on your period, but you shouldn't worry about that because you're on birth control. It is normal to have breakthrough bleeding, specially since you haven't been on it for long. It could take about 3 months for your body to get used to birth control, and with Seasonale you could still experiment breakthrough bleeding even after you've gotten used to it. \n\nIf it bothers you too much, try talking to your doctor about switching to another kind of pill. With regular birth control pills, there's less chance of getting breakthrough bleeding, but you would have to have your period each month. So decide which way is best for you. Mean while, what's happening to you is normal. \n\nIf your boyfriend doesn't want to have sex while you're bleeding because he fears you're going to get pregnant, assure him that you won't (the chances are the same as when you're not bleeding) because you're protected throughout your cycle, whether you're bleeding or not.

Yes, depending on what you mean by "after my period"  Ovulation usually happens 14 days after a woman starts bleeding, and it can be fertilized at any point thereafter for about 4 days.  It doesn't implant in your uterus for about a week after fertilization though.

You can still get pregnant.  It sounds like you may not ovulate regularly, so you may ovulate one month and not realize it and get pregnant.  You have to be careful because you could do something harmful not knowing your pregnant because you are irregular.  Also, have you been to the doctor.....I have the same type of cycle, I have a two year old.  You may want to be checked to see if you have PCOS-polycystic ovarian syndrome...

Since you have recently started menstruation, periods may be irregular particularly during the first year. Not every woman has a 28 day cycle and that's counting from the first day of the period. Now that you have started though you could see a gynecologist (women's doctor) to get some insight on what is normal for you...\nGood luck...
