TTC irregular periods
Hello,
My name is Shannon and I’m 26 years old and have been TTC for 6 months now. For the last 10 years I was taking birth control and in Sept (6 months ago) I stopped taking them. I noticed that my period has been very irregular and throughout taking birth control I was perfectly regular (but I know that that’s what it does). My period came on Oct 17th, Nov18th, Dec 20th and Jan 30th. It seems to be roughly 30 -40 days long. As of March 2nd (yesterday) it has been 30 days since my last period. My biggest problem is that I’m not sure if I should be trying something like Clomid? I have no idea when or if I’m ovulating. Any suggestions?? I’m tired of not knowing what day in my cycle Im actually in. HELP..:)

Some low key suggestions first. Have you tried charting your cycles through here or another website? Have you tried using ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) to see if you get a hormone surge that would possibly tell you if you are ovulating? Both of these could tell you if you are ovulating once you got used to using them and your doctor might ask you if you've been using them anyway.
It isn't uncommon to be irregular after stopping BCPs but it might not hurt to have some blood work done with your ob/gyn. Then you and your ob/gyn could go from there about Clomid, etc.
