Hello doctor,I have been having irregular periods for a while now and I am planning to have a baby but do not know the best moment to conceive. I had my last period a month back and three days after that I had unprotected sex with my fiance and thought I had conceived because I started having cramps and frequent urination a week later but my period came a few days back. I will love to know when best I can conceive, please.
Hi. Have your periods duration increased or reduced? It would be better if you send me your detailed gynecology, menstrual, obstetric medical history as well. There are two ways to regulate cycles. One is to have hormones (norethisterone or COCP-combined oral contraceptive pill) cyclically for three months (will regulate cycles hormonally) and have blood tests serum testosterone, serum prolactin, serum inhibin, serum progesterone, FSH (follicular stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) and thyroid function test on day two and the result should be checked and abnormality to treat . And, then try for conception as cyclic hormones will act as second to try for conception without hormones to have unprotected sex from day 8 to day 19 on alternate days without taking any hormones or test.  For 28 days cycle, if you have after hormonal treatment best days to try for conception are from day 8 or 9 to day 13.  For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online -->
