How can you regulate your menstrual cycle?

MY QUESTION IS, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE VERY IRREGULAR MENSTRUAL CYCLES? I DIDN'T HAVE A PERIOD FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS THEN I STARTED FOR ABOUT 5 DAYS AND NOW 2 MONTHS LATER I STARTED AND WENT 6 FULL DAYS. IS THERE ANYTHING WOMEN CAN DO ABOUT IRREGULAR MENSTRUAL CYCLES? MY DOCTOR HAS SUGGESTED BIRTH CONTROL BUT I'M WANTING TO GET PREGNANT. WOULD DEFEAT THE PURPOSE I THINK, I'M ALL OUT OF IDEAS.

my period comes every 6 months now, and its been like that for two years now..im 21 and have been trying to get pregnant..three different doctors have told me that it would be impossible to get pregnant with my period so irregular like it was, so i changed drs and even she said the same thing..so i didnt use a condom and next thing i found out, i was pregnant..almost a month later tho, i had a miscarriage..while i was pregnant, i got my period a week after finding out..it usually lasts 7 days, but this time it only lasted 5..then i had vaginal bleeding that wasn't normal..my doc said it was most likely implantation bleeding and she was scared that i mite miscarry..wen i did research on what implantation bleeding was, it said that its most likely wen the walls of your uterus aren't as soft as they should be..every month or wenever you have your period, the uterus lining fills up wit blood and releases it, becoming your period..but since mine only comes twice a year now, my lining must've been harder and it was hard for my fetus to implant itself properly..maybe you can't get pregnant for other reasons, but though i was able to get pregnant, i wasn't able to keep it alive..im trying to find ways to regulate my period cuz i really want to get pregnant, maybe that will help me :/ weird thing is that my period came exactly one month after the one i got wen i was pregnant..i wonder if itll come next month or if itll disappear until 6 months from now again lol

I have been experiencing irregular cycles for the past number of months. I will spot for a week, then bleed heavily for a week. This occurs every 2 weeks. I have gone to see my family doctor, who ordered blood work, which was all normal. I also had an appointment with gynecologist, and she said all was fine and this maybe the way things are going to be now. I am only 34 years, and currently have 3 children. I am trying to get pregnant for our 4th child, but I don't know how much more disappointment I can take. I am tired of these irregular cycles. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. My daughter is 3 1/2 and ever since I've had her my cycle has been irregular.I know it's frustrating when you are ttc and you can't even able regulate your cycle but don't stress because that only makes things worse. I've tried Vitex with no results. I want to try wild yam or wild yam supplements but I have yet to find it in my area and I am very reluctant to buy that online. But I will be trying that soon. If this doesn't work then I think I'm going to go back on the pill for a couple of months to regulate my cycle and then i will ttc again. Good luck and baby dust to you

I have PCOD and have had an irregular period for over 10 years now. I do not get my period at all unless I am taking birth control or a hormonal tincture that I have made from my Herbolist. For myself in the end, after 7 years of being on it, the pill made me really sick. That is when I decided to go the natural route. My tincture is in a 250 ML bottle and it includes, Black Cohosh, Blue Cohosh, Dandelian Root, Ladies Mantle and Yarrow Root. I have never had an issue once and I am feeling more myself since being on the tincture then I ever have.
