I'm new to this but thought I would post a
question since its been buging me for
awhile. I'm 20 and have been having
unprotected sex for about 2 years, I have
ovarian cysts and irregular periods. Me
and my boyfriend have been trying to get
pregnant we have unprotected sex usually
every other day. I was just wondering
since we've been trying so long with no
luck if i'm infertile. I know he's
fertile because hes been tested. I'm not
really sure what ovulation is because i've
never noticed anything diffrent. If
someone could help me out that would be
great. Thanks

That's a great question for your doctor.
There are a few different types of cysts,
and we don't really know what kind you
have, how big they are, how many there
are, etc. All of that stuff can make a
difference. Many women get ovarian
cysts. They are usually benign, do not
interfere with fertility, and even go away
on their own. If they don't go away on
their own or are interfering with
fertility, then the cysts could even be a
sign of a larger problem. Your doctor
may decide to remove the cysts if they are
a problem. Keep going to the ob-gyn and
asking her questions. She should monitor
your cysts and see if they need to be
removed or are a sign of another problem.

If I had a doctor that would be great but
we are waiting for my boyfriends health
insurance to kick in...Should be in a
couple of months, I asked about my cysts
awhile ago she said that they wont
interfere with anything, but i'm just
wondering what really is ovulation because
i've never really noticed any thing
diffrent. Thanks

Most women do not notice any changes when
they are ovulating. Most women have no
idea when they are actually ovulating.

Hello,
ovulation occurs when a egg is released
for your ovaries...The simplest natural
method of predicting ovulation involves
simply counting days, although this method
is often not very reliable. A better
natural method involves using physical
signs such as basal body temperature and
cervical mucous changes...So 14 days after
your cycle ,14 days later you should
ovulate, thats when you can try to
concieve, they have charts online free
ones that you can follow..Signs of
ovulation is different in every woman.
When you have the chance to speak to a Dr.
They would be more helpful because he or
she will be able to take a look at the
problem. Good luck to you.

you ovulate 14 days .B.E.F.O.R.E your
.N.E.X.T period. Not 14 days after the
one you just had. So it would be hard to
count cycle days if your period is
irregular.

OMG, I have the same exact problem...funny
thing is im 20 also! my boyfriend is older
than i am, 28yrs to be exact, so hes
pushing 30 so hes ready to settle down and
have kids, and so am i..problem is, he has
a low sperm count, and awhile back when i
was having irregular periods, i went for
an ultrasound, and they found a small cyst
on my ovaries...i havnt checked it since,
and that was 5 yrs ago,,so i dont know if
that could may be the problem or its just
because of my boyfriend having a low sperm
count...maybe its both of us! that would
really suck, i wouldnt know what to do in
a case like that!!
