My name is Ashley and i'm 24. I just joined this community and thought i'd say a little something about myself. my husband and I are currently ttc for our first child....with no luck so far. i'm a big girl 5'6'' 275lbs so i'm pretty sure that is the problem because my periods are very far from normal. i'm lucky if i get more than 2 a year sometimes ( Read more... )

ttc, periods

Ditto. I'm 5'9 and was 360 when I got pregnant this time!

thank you all very much for your comments. i've been saving up some money to go to the doctors...since my insurance isn't that great and it's taking a little longer than expected..but i do plan on going soon. i also plan on starting the charting once i see my doctor. so hopefully i will have some kind of answer soon! I will definetly keep you all updated! thanks again

Welcome! I agree with what everyone said in that visiting a doctor to get everything checked out and charting and book reading is a good idea. I will also add I went to a doctor and she was very unhelpful and during the two years time before I saw a new great doctor I turned to alternative therapies which you may want to research and consider. I was terrible at charting but I visited a master acupunturist who happened to be my mother in law and started taking Vitex aka chaste tree berry. By the time I'd found a doctor who was actually helpful I'd already gotten pregnant so he can't take the credit for the conception. Nor can my MIL stictly speaking or the Vitex but only the MIL wants to ( ... )

Mine have always been pretty bad...i have them more than twice a year though. Don't worry though you are still menstrating so you can most likely make babies!!

Have you been tested for PCOS? A lot of ladies have that in this community and it causing messed up periods and weight gain.

Like everyone said, you should get tested for PCOS. I was diagnosed with that myself, my periods are really irregular. I was put on Clomid (fertility drugs) and got pregnant off of my first dose. Good luck!
