Tips:

  • It’s especially important to check that if you have three or more cycles that last longer than 7 days or are very heavy and if you have bleeding between your periods or pelvic pain that is not from your period.

  • If your periods are very regular then it is fairly easy to work out when you are likely to be ovulating. If your periods are not regular then it is not so easy. If your periods are very irregular you may not be ovulating at all or infrequently. Again keep dates and if you are trying for a baby and have no success after six months, see your doctor.
