First, we must understand the menstrual cycle. The cycle itself always begins on the first day of living blood. The days of sludge and light bleeding should not be taken into account if they happen. Remember: the first menstrual day is that of live blood (darker or clotted) and with a flow, even if less. From there, we can count how many days your cycle is approximately. To make sure you have an irregular cycle , do the math for the last 3 cycles. If you do not remember the exact day when your period started, then start counting from the next , so you will know how many days it will take on average to menstruate.
An irregular menstrual cycle is characterized by a lot of oscillation, that is, it has a considerable difference in days from one to the other. Cycles varying from 2, 3 to 7 days are not considered to be a serious irregular cycle, there can only be some delay in ovulation or changes in the luteal phase (post-ovulation). Irregular cycles can vary both for greater and greater, that is, one menstrual cycle with 21 days of cycle, the other with 35, the other with 28, the other with 70 days… The number of days varies a lot! A cycle with a lot of difference can become a very big headache, especially when you want to get pregnant.
How to Deal With the Irregular Menstrual Cycle?
To learn how to deal with the irregular menstrual cycle you need to know your body. However, it is not a very difficult task, just learn to identify the cervical mucus. The Billings method is very useful and should be used for this purpose. In fact, all women should learn the Billings method, as it is safe and serves both those who want to have a baby and those who do not want to become pregnant. It should be kept in mind that the more elastic and transparent mucus you have, the closer to ovulation you will be. Some women simply cannot determine the fertile period because they do not know how many days their cycle will have. That is why it is important to learn to detect ovulation regardless of the cycle days you have. The more moist your vagina is, the more fertile you are, and then, just dating is a chance to get pregnant or avoid sexual intercourse during this period.
The irregular menstrual cycle gets in the way of the temptation because there is no certain time of the month to happen as women with extremely regular cycles. It is amazing to see that some organisms even have time to menstruate! Any attempter’s dream is to have a cycle like this, quite regular. But since it is not your reality, it is important to know how to get around this barrier.
Getting around the issue of the irregular menstrual cycle is very personal, each woman learns to deal with this issue in a different way, but it is very important to talk to the gynecologist so that he can investigate what happens in the irregular menstrual cycle. Hormonal tests are efficient and also transvaginal ultrasounds are able to point out why the cycle is irregular, in case there is a problem. However, if you have no problem, the irregular cycle is a characteristic of your body.
To tame a menstrual cycle with these characteristics , it is necessary to use pharmacological drugs prescribed by the doctor, or even natural options that are quite efficient, such as, for example, vitex. It is worth talking to the gynecologist and deciding which option is best for you , whether or not you want to get pregnant, or if you simply want to regularize your menstrual period. It is also cool to point out that the menstrual period , days when the woman gets her period is also subject to changes, so if you menstruate for 3 days and start menstruating for 5 days, or, simply change all cycles, it is also considered normal!
Golden tip: Average your cycle to learn to identify approximately fertile days. For example, you had a cycle of 21 days, the other 35 and the other 28. You will have an average of 29 days of cycle, so you must have relationships from the 12th day of the cycle to the 20th day of the cycle to ensure fertile days . Always on alternate days ok? If in doubt, use the fertile period calculator and good luck!
