    In order to become pregnant, you must be treated for amenorrhea, better known as irregular periods. This condition can be caused by something as simple as your diet, excessive exercise or anorexia. Physical stress of any kind can also be a cause for your cycle not coming every month. The very key reason for seeking out a professional is to determine exactly why the cycle is irregular.

    The doctor will of course first need to rule out fibroids, cyst and endometriosis, all of which are sometimes the cause of amenorrhea. For all of these conditions including just stress there is a cure. The provider can prescribe medication to regulate the cycle. But it is key to be evaluated correctly in order to receive the best care.

  3. Step 3

    The ovulation period is also a good means to getting pregnant but again, you have to know when you ovulate to try to get pregnant then. The major key to a baby is regulating your period as soon as possible. This will get you on the right path. Once your period is regulated you can purchase an ovulation kit from the store. Read the instructions carefully. This will help you to determine when the magic needs to happen.

  4. Step 4

    Be advised that each person's ovulation period is different, so it is important to get yours down to a science. Sometimes four to five days before the actual ovulation date is when some people get pregnant. Trying to keep up with the whens and the hows may only create more stress, so keep that in mind also.

Tips & Warnings
  • Seek treatment from an OBGYN.
  • Ask about regulation of your period.
  • Get information on any test the doctor would like to perform.
  • Please do not self diagnose. Seek out a provider who can help
