Can Someone Explain This Ovulation Thing!!!!! Posted: 09-27-03 17:30pm
My periods have a record of being
irregular. I can go for 6 months w/o a
period. My periods are never predictable.
Never!!! When I was on the shot 2 years
ago I was on my period and stayed on for 8
months!!! I was active the whole
time..The same day of the shot....After
even when I was bleeding.....It didnt
stop. I never did figure that out why it
was happening. My mom said I wasnt
suppose to have sex intill a certain
amount of time after the shot and not to
have sex on the period anyway becuase it
can harm you. After that my period stayed
irregular for months..Skipp a few
months....Have it..U know.Recently for 3
months or so I have been having my period
every 2 weeks. Intll my period skipped
two weeks and was late.I just got it on
the 17th and ended on the 21st.I dont
think im pregnant becuase I took a few
test and it was neg.So exactly how does
ovulation work? What is it? How can I
know im ovulating?How can I know if my
period are not regular?Is it something I
should be worried about? Should I go see
a doctor?What exactly comes with a
period..I have so much too learn. Is it
going to be hard for me to get
pregnant.Pleeze write back...Any
advice....

What is this fertile thing....(so
dumbfounded). Whats the difference
between ovulation and fertile???
Ovulation is where the egg is released
from the ovum and sent down into the
fallopian tube. If the egg is fertilized
during the fertile days (varies from 10-16
days before your next period) it is
burrowed into the uterus lining and begins
to form a baby. If the egg is left
unfertilized it is broken up into smaller
parts and sent to the uterus to be shedded
at the beginning of your next cycle, also
known as your period.
Fertile days is the time period in which
you can get pregnant, it varies anywhere
from 10 to 16 days depending on your
personal cycle!
Much love

Ovualtion Posted: 09-27-03 19:58pm
Dear dreamer,
most women get their period every 28 days,
this is considered normal although
everyone is completely different, weird
isn't it. If your period is coming every
2 weeks maybe you should see your doctor,
although don't be alarmed this may be
regular for you. If it's not your doctor
will probably refer you to a gynocologyst
to get some hormone treatments to get your
body back in sync. Your mum is right,
having sex during your period, or while
you are bleeding can cause infection, and
you can't get pregnant while you are
bleeding anyway. It is going to be very
hard for you to figure out when you are
ovulating if your periods aren't regular,
so you need to address this problem first.
When you ovulate (or you are most
fertile) your body releases an egg to be
fertilised by your partner, this only
happens once a month, and the egg is only
there for 24 hours if that, so you need to
be quick. Women usually try to catch the
ovualtion period 14 days before their next
period is due, there are ovulation kits
you can buy to give you more accuracy in
predicting your ovulation. You will find
them at the supermarket or chemist next to
the pregnancy tests. Below I have
supplied links to some helpful
information, the first is an ovulation
calculator but this will probably only be
helpful once you know how to predict your
next period, at least once you have seen
your doctor and are all sorted this should
help in the future with trying to get
pregnant. The second link explains what
ovulation is and why you can only get
pregnant on these certain days and not
just any time of the month. Good luck
and keep in touch.
