hi i had irregular periods before i had my son, me and my partner were trying for 3 years and nothing was happening in the end i gave up thinking about it as i thought i would never get pregnant, i could go for 3 to 4 months without a period but got fed up with doing pregnancy tests only to find it was negative, so decided to concentrate more on my job and not think about having babies, then one month i went out with friends on 2 seperate occasions had a bit to drink, but i knew my limit of drink yet the next day i was throwing up i put the first time down to food poisoning, but when it happened the second time i thought i best do a test just to make sure i was bouncing off the walls when it came back positive,and got the shock of my life as when i went to drs they thought i wasent that far gone as they couldnt feel nothing, but when i had my first scan i was already 18wks gone, i guess im saying try not to think about getting pregnant to much and it will happen sorry to babble on but wanted to tell my story, and as it took me 3 yrs to get preggers with my son wasent expecting it to happen again so quick but 10 months later i was pregnant with my baby girl who is now 4 months old(my son is 2 next wk)  

Hi there

It will happen! My partner and I were TTC for 20 months and I had cycles between 29 and 42 days. I was advised by a friend to buy a ovulation thermometer (about £3 on Ebay) last September and fell pregnant the following month. Unfortunately, I lost that baby but I am now between 7 and 9 weeks pregnant - due to go for a dating scan in a couple of days time. The company I bought the thermometer from were excellent and provided detailed info and a chart within the price. Not sure if I'm supposed to give out company names so I'll just say they have loads of fertility products on line including the thermometers and ovulation/pregnancy testiing strips (about 1p each and yes they do work brilliantly) and they have 'fertility' in the shop name. I hope it works for you to as I know how hard the waiting is with irregular periods. Good Luck!
