Patient's question:
I have been having irregular periods since I started menstruating. While others have their periods every 30 days, mine usually come every 40 days. During menstruation, I sometimes feel a bit of discomfort in my lower abdomen, but there are no other symptoms. Now that I'm married and planning to have a child, what should I do if my irregular periods prevent me from getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
If you have always had your period every 40 days since you started menstruating, this is also normal. Perhaps your cycle is much longer than others'. This method of estimating ovulation also differs from the standard calculation. You can buy a menopause test kit from a pharmacy. When the test shows a positive result, you can engage in sexual intercourse, and the chances of getting pregnant are relatively high. In your case, there is no need to adjust your menstrual cycle.
