Having Irregular Periods. Hormone Tested Normal. Pregnancy Test Negative. Trying To Conceive. Worrisome

Thanks for the query.
according to your description the possible causes are,
-symptoms of poly cystic ovarian disease: in this you can have symptoms like irregular periods with hypomenorrhea(scanty flow during cycles), oligomenorrhea(increased gap between periods), anovulation etc.
so your spotting may be hypomenorrhea because of PCOD.
-Postovulatory bleeding: as your cycles are irregular there is possibility that you ovulated late and that is your postovulatory bleeding called mittelschmerz syndrome.
-implantation bleeding: in case of pregnancy that could be implantation bleeding.
so now you consult your doctor and undergo blood test for pregnancy,
depending on the result if comes positive it is good,
if comes negative you better start taking treatment for PCOD with your doctor's advice which will increase your chances of fertility,
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
Take care.


should i take pregnancy test?
and if i am suffering from pcos is there chances to be pregnant without fertility drugs? as i read it has chances of multiple pregnancies and i am afraid of hormone therapies.
i read that pcos is genetic, and might be its true because my mother has also irregular cycle through her life and she had 7 children without any medication and my sisters have also irregular cycle and they have children without any medication.
so please suggest me how many months/years we can try to get pregnant naturally without taking hormonal treatment.as we are trying without protection since May.
how can i know that i ovulate or not?
pregnancy could be there with out symptoms also in some women so better to take test which will rule out the possibility,
if you are having mild PCOD with ovulation occurring then there is chance for pregnancy without drugs also,
but if you are having anovulation as part of PCOD then better to take drugs to induce ovulation.
normally if after one year of unprotected intercourse couple fail to conceive then that be taken as infertility, so if you want to try naturally you can try for one year but meanwhile you practice measures to decrease the severity of PCOD like,
-decreasing excess weight for your height you should be around 55kgs, though you are not over weight slight decrease in weight also can help in reducing the symptoms,
-avoiding stress and strain,
-taking healthy nutritious diet, reducing the amount of carbohydrates and fats, increasing proteins in diet etc,
you can trace ovulation by natural methods like basal body temperature method or cervical mucus method but better is tracing with ovulation kit.
take care.
