Patient's question:
Preparing to have a child this year, so I'm currently preparing for pregnancy. However, after carefully observing for two months, I've noticed that I have an irregular menstrual cycle. How can I estimate my ovulation period with an irregular menstrual cycle? Should I treat the irregular menstrual cycle issue first? Will getting pregnant in this condition affect the child's growth and development?Doctor's answer:
Wanting a baby, I noticed irregular periods. Generally, if there is a normal ovulation, pregnancy is still possible with irregular periods, and it won't affect the child's growth and development. Therefore, it's important to check if there is a normal ovulation. For irregular periods, you can go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound or a transvaginal ultrasound to continuously monitor the development of follicles and ovulation. Intercourse on the day of ovulation can reduce the chances of conception. If there is irregular periods without ovulation, it is necessary to regulate the menstrual cycle first before pregnancy can be achieved.
