Can I get pregnant if my menstrual period is irregular?

If a woman has an abnormal menstrual cycle, it means that there is an abnormal ovulation period, which does not mean that she does not ovulate at all. Therefore, if she has sex without taking any contraceptive measures, she may still get pregnant. If a woman's menstrual cycle is regular, the ovulation period is relatively fixed, about two weeks before the next menstruation. If a woman has plans to get pregnant, she can arrange sex during this period to prepare for pregnancy. If the menstrual cycle is irregular, it will be impossible to identify the ovulation period, which will make it difficult to get pregnant. Therefore, for women with irregular menstrual cycles, they should first do six hormone measurements, ovulation monitoring, and understand the function of the ovaries. In some cases, they also need to take short-term contraceptives regularly. For example, Yasmin, which is used for artificial cycle treatment, can restore the menstrual cycle, thus restoring the fertility function.

There are many reasons that can lead to irregular menstruation, such as endocrine imbalance, excessive progesterone, high androgen, or increased lactogen, all of which can lead to menstrual disorders. In addition, if the estrogen content is low, it will also lead to reduced menstrual volume or prolonged absence of menstruation. If you have an irregular work and rest schedule, too much stress, and often stay up late, it will affect your menstrual period. Uterine fibroids or adnexal tumors can also cause menstrual disorders. Systemic diseases, such as hyperthyroidism or severe anemia, can also affect menstruation.

If your menstrual period is abnormal, it is recommended to do two tests first. First, do a gynecological B-ultrasound examination to see if there are any abnormalities in the uterine appendages and uterine wall, whether there are uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, uterine and ovarian tumors, or whether there are any problems with the uterine wall. Is it a gynecological disease that causes irregular menstruation? Second, if the gynecological B-ultrasound examination is normal but the menstruation is irregular, considering the possibility of endocrine disorder, you can draw blood for six hormone levels to see if there is a problem with estrogen and whether there is an abnormality in the ratio of follicle-stimulating hormone or progesterone, which leads to irregular menstruation. According to the test results, you can take medicine for treatment.

The treatment methods for endocrine disorders, if using drugs, are generally estrogen treatment, or oral short-term contraceptives. Chinese herbal medicines generally use menstruation regulating pregnancy promoting pills, Wuji Baifeng pills, menstruation regulating and blood circulation promoting capsules, etc. for conditioning.
