| If my menstrual cycle is irregular, what ways can I detect ovulation? |
|
 |
-
You can keep a menstrual calender and chart your periods and follow changes in
cervical mucus, and have timed intercourse by subtracting 14 from your longest and shortest cycles.
-
You can use ovulation prediction tests
(you may need more than one set of tests if your
cycles are very irregular).
-
You can ask your doctor if you are a candidate for a medication called
Clomid, which will force you to ovulate at a more specified time
(use in conjunction with ovulation prediction tests).
