What Causes Irregular Periods Along With Breast Tenderness?
take meparate
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Irregular periods is most probably due to PCOD(polycystic ovary disease), if your thyroid hormone levels are normal and you are taking eltroxin regularly.
Take tablet separate as advised and get an ultrasound done on day 2 of periods to see for condition of ovaries and thus presence of PCOD.
Now if you want to conceive you need to opt for follicular study by ultrasound to see for follicular growth and release of egg from your ovary.
This way you will be sure about the fertile says and thus time your intercourse according to that.
Otherwise only cause of not conceiving in your case is bad coordination between intercourse and rupture of egg as because of irregular cycles, timing of ovulation will vary in every cycle.
In case you have any question related to this, I will be glad to answer.

one cycle is must
Detailed Answer:
Day 2 ultrasound is a must which is going to document PCOD if present.
Ovulation prediction kit is a good method but as your periods are very irregular, at least one cycle of ultrasound to see the growth of follicle and release of egg is must to gauze if ovulation is actually occurring or not.
Moreover ovulation prediction kit will be needed in a quantity of at least 10-12 kits (each costing 100-120 rupees) in each cycle and in case ovulation is not occurring only then this whole fiasco goes useless.
So follicular study for at least one cycle is a must and you can take ovulation induction drugs to increase the chances of conception.
