Fertility and Hormone Imbalance

[bluemorningglory86]

Hi, my husband and I have been married for 3 years. We want to have a baby. We are not really trying to make it happen, we are just letting whatever happen. Since we are in our mid 20's, I am surprised that I haven't became pregnant yet. My periods are very irregular and have been for about 5 years, and I am wondering if this is because my hormones are imbalanced due to stress. I am a college student and we have moved around to different areas several times since we got married. Plus, I have some other things that are causing me to be very stressed. When I was in high school, my periods were more regular so that's why I think my irregular periods could be just due to stress. If my hormones are just imbalanced due to stress, will it sort itself out once things calm down in my life or should I seek medical treatment to get them balanced? Thanks!

Yes, I know for sure I am ovulating because I was charting for a while to see if I was ovulating and the charts do show a temperature rise 2 weeks before each of my periods. I  am just worried that my hormones may not balance out on their own because of me not having regular periods for so long (5 years).

not having regular periods would be a problem for not being able to get pregnant...
do u think u are ovulation alhtough u have irregular periods..u can stort that out by using OPKs....if hormonal imbalances are due to stress,it is easy to solve....yes once u get over stress u might be fine....if u are not read to see a doc. for that problem ,u can also use a Over the counter herb called VITEX..it's very effective balancing the hormones...

make sure u read about it on the internet first...if u like it,give it a try...

good luck
