I guess we should probably consider that—my doctor at the Mayo Clinic mentioned that if I actually want to get pregnant, it might not just happen on its own without some hormonal help?? I've had my period for 14 years now and it’s never been regular, unless I was on the pill, but that doesn't really count!!
Anyway, I picked up some Premom tests and I'm already deep in the research😍..Hopefully they're actually accurate..

Well, good luck with all that then🙂

crimsonmason8 said:I get that, but based on the article, it's pretty obvious she could ovulate any day during her cycle and be fertile then. That part makes sense, I guess. What I’m actually wondering is if a Baby Tracker app can actually give you a reliable answer on exactly which day ovulation happens!!
My doctor basically told me to stay far away from birth control because it just messes everything up—apparently, ovulation becomes a total non-event. I’ve tried the pills before, and honestly, they weren't great. Now I'm thinking about taking one last dose just to get through this, then maybe I'll try using one of those tracking gadgets if I can find one. We'll see if I even have fertile days to track, I guess.😕
This whole irregular period thing is driving me crazy... and since I've been dealing with it for years now, I'm starting to think it's probably not just going to fix itself.

Hey, please stop scaring me and being so depressing. 😢
I've been dealing with irregular periods for eight years now, and honestly, it's still a total mess. My mom keeps trying to convince me that I won't be able to have kids, which is frustrating because I really want at least four. 😢 😢😢😢

crimsonmason8 said:I guess I agree that relying on tracking fertile days is pretty sketchy when your cycle is all over the place, which is why I’m asking if anyone actually uses IUDs and if they're any good.
I checked at CVS and it's about $127, which isn't exactly breaking the bank compared to birth control pills, especially since apparently this thing lasts for years..

Also, does skipping periods mean my fertility is already tanking? I personally think so, but I really don't want to mess with hormones until I absolutely have to.. And pills are out of the question since they might make ovulation even worse, right?🤷

But did you actually talk to your OBGYN about the pill? My cycle was a total mess too—I'd go two months without a period and my hormones were completely shot, so I've been on the pill since I was 17 (I'm 21 now). I tried taking a break last year for about a year, and my cycle went totally haywire again. I didn't even get my period all summer 😢
So, maybe you should try the pill just to get your hormones back on track if that's the issue.

Anyway...

here's an article

Don't read the last paragraph.

I haven't picked it up yet, but I'm planning to. My OB-GYN suggested it as a solid way to track my fertile window, since I barely ovulate and my period skips like a broken record—sometimes I go a month or two without one. 😢
I guess I’d use this as some kind of backup birth control. Pills are a total no-go for me, and honestly, condoms are getting pretty old. This looks like a solid option, maybe.😍
Anyone got any experiences to share? I guess.

I guess relying on fertility tracking for birth control is probably the dumbest move you could make. Maybe.
I guess I just read some study claiming that timing doesn't even matter. Apparently, most women end up pregnant during their least fertile days, or even while they're on their period. Who knows, maybe. 🙂

Stick to condoms or the pill, I guess. Maybe. 🙂
