How can I get pregnant if I have irregular periods?

I am trying to concieve however. I have a very irregular period. My last menstrual period took place around July 29th sometime and I havent had one since…however my boyfriend and I recently tried performing sexual intercourse August 15th.( sorry to be so blunt) and I took the first response test a day later. the results came back negative but I am wondering is there still a possibility I can be pregnant because we really want a baby. I mean it is hard to detect when I am ovulating due to my menstrual cycles being irregular. I just want to know. what should I do? How long should I actually wait before I give up and realize that I am not pregnant? and could I still possibly be pregnant?

Answer #1

you can also go by your temperature, i believe a rise in your temperature can indicate ovulation (obviously you’re not ill and have a high temp due to that reason), you can also by kits that tell you when you are ovulating, but i’m digital thermometer will help.

A rise in body temperature.

Following ovulation, your temperature can increase by 0.4 to 1.0 degrees. You won’t feel the shift, but you can detect it by using a basal body temperature (BBT) thermometer. This temperature spike indicates that you’ve ovulated, because releasing an egg stimulates the production of the hormone progesterone, which raises body temperature.

You’re most fertile in the two or three days before your temperature hits its high point. A few experts think you may have an additional 12- to 24-hour window of fertility after you first notice the temperature creep up, but most say that at that point, it’s too late to make a baby.

“It can take one to two days after ovulation for progesterone to build up enough to raise your body temperature. But since the egg can only survive for about 24 hours, at that point, it’s too late for fertilization,” says Tracy Telles, an ob-gyn at the Permanente Medical Group in Walnut Creek, California. That’s why experts recommend that you chart your temperature by taking it each morning for a few months to detect a pattern and pinpoint your likely ovulatory date. Then you can plan to have sex during the two to three days preceding the day your temperature normally rises.

Good luck.

you cant have sex then test wether you are pregnant the next day…it takes a few wiks, not a day… and the best tym to test wether u pregnant is when you wake up in the morning because the urine is stronger…and dnt worry eveything as a time so just be patient it will happen soona or later
