trying to get pregnant but have irregular periods

My husband and I are trying to get pregnant, but I have been having irregular periods for the past two months, it always comes on the 15th of every month, maybe a day or two late, but last month it came on the 9th and this month it came on the 6th, which is very unusual for me. Could there be something wrong that could make it so I couldn't have another baby? Or make my chances of getting pregnant alot harder? If anyone knows of anything please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm 20 years old. I havent had a period since either October or November of 2010. I went to my doctors and they tested my FSH, Prolactin, LSH, and Thyroid levels; all came back normal. I got a pap, and even that came out normal.

I'm not exactly sure what else to do.

What do yall think I should ask my doctor, should I ask her to run more tests?

also, I want to know if I can have children or not.. I know I'm only 20, but my boyfriend has a daughter. The mother is pretty much out of the picture, so I help him as much as I can. Everytime I play with her, see her, or help take care of her, it just makes me want one even more.

someone please help!

We have only been trying for two months, but I didn't know I even wanted to get pregnant until after my first period that came early, It could be stress though, I have two children ages 4 and 2, so that can be stressfull lol. So it's really common to get irregular periods, even if your always regular? That is a relief, thanks. The first month we used an ovulation kit, this last month I didn't, I just did guess work, and tried everynight for almost 2 weeks, maybe I still missed it. Thanks for posting for me.

I wouldn't worry too much about your cycle yet.  Even women with regular cycles go through some periods of irregularity. (Pardon the pun.)  How long have you been trying?  If you're stressing out over it that may be causing it.  Also, have you started BBT charting? Some say it doesn't work, but I have luck with it and my periods have always been somewhat irregular (30-35 days apart).  BBT charting will help you pinpoint when you ovulate and if your luteal phase is long enough.  I'm sure you're already familiar with it, but if you're not there's a ton of online info about it.  Best of luck to you!
