Anxiety Menstrual Cycle
Very Irregular periods and ttc. Cycles are 40-60 days.

Hello all,

I went of off birth control pills Nov 2004 to ttc baby #1. I didn’t get a period on my own until 2 and a half years later, in June 2007. For the past year I have had 9 menstrual cycles. My cycles are very irregular,and I usually have 40 to 60 days in between periods. My hubby and I are ttc but finding it difficult because of my irregular periods. I don’t know when/if I am ovulating. I am taking a prenatal vitamin, vitex, calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin B6 and PABA. I am about 5’6” and 150 lbs. I do have some stress/anxiety, but even when I don’t stress my periods are still irregular. I eat pretty healthy too.

Does anyone know how I can regulate my menstrual cycle to the normal 28-35 days? I do not want to go back on birth control, as I am ttc. Any advise I would really be grateful for. Thank you!
I has a transvaginal ultrasound about 2 years ago, and the doctors said my ovaries, eggs, are normal. They said everything looked good.

First you need to go see a gynecologist and have your hormone level tested. Depending upon other things going on with your health, you may have some condition. I have PCOS, which was causing my irregular cycles, and therefore one isn’t ovulating regularly. In this case, there are medications, such as metformin, which can help regulate the hormones, and some women take clomid to help them conceive.

I’m not saying you have it, just some info to read.
It’s best that you talk to your gynecologist.
For more info, also use the search for questions bar at the top of this page, and you’ll find TONS of questions and answers about TTC and PCOS.
Good luck. Baby dust to you!
