How Can Fertility Tracking Be Done In A Woman With Irregular Periods?
Hello, I m currently trying for my first child and have recently learned about fertility tracking, the signs to look for etc. However, my periods are very irregular (ranging from 6 days to 2 weeks). I learned that fertility starts about 5 days before ovulation, but my question is, does fertility start once the period is gone or could my irregular period be messing up my fertility?

Hi I think you should go for evaluation first. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level and a ultrasound done to see uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of irregular periods. You may need some hormonal treatment if any abnormality is there. You can track your ovulation by repeated ultrasound or by ovulation detection kits. Hope it helps.
