Hi, my period for the past few years, from my first menstrual cycle when I was a teenager, I had a very heavy menstrual flow. I have no kinda' PMS notice and cramps (because I do not obsessed with sour foods like mango, maybe that's why?) So, maybe I was so anemic because I have had heavy flows, and I"m lack of iron, normally. I got my last 5 days of period on January 2016, after 3 weeks, I had my first intercourse, and I bled early the last weekon January since I've gotten my period already and it lasted for 7 days to February 2. I have an irregular period since then to April, but we do had sex for all of that month for 2 to 3 days a week even I had those kinda' irregular bleeding, on March I got 1 day period already with a cramps for the first time. and on \April, I got 2 days of period with no cramps. and on May , JUne, I got my 34 days of cycle and now this JUly, I got my 28 days of cycle, I wonder why what's wrong with me, cause someday I just wanted to have some kids naturally and this kind of period is seems frustrating and I hope there's no problem with it, since I had them normal days of menstrual and I hope there's nothing wrong with me. Somehow, I had sometimes constipation, and I got bloated, that's why these last month , I am exercising regularly for my homonal imbalance, stress and sleep because I want to conceive soon. I do yoga for 10 minutes a day, so would you mind giving me some extra advices,or supplements what's best for my body and my periods to regulate and so fertility too? PLs.... I am waiting for your replies, thank you and for some women who can't do this at home to have some advices.. pls. do me a favor, what to do, and for some supplements.. thank you!! God Bless

Please do not worry about your fertility. Hormonal imbalance, stress or insufficient sleep may be the cause for your irregular menses. But it will not interfere with your reproduction function. Just be careful for your fertile period when you have to have intercourse as you said you want to have kids. Its different in different women but usually its between 12th to 16th day of your menstruation cycle. If you are doing family planning, you can start taking folic acid and calcium after discussing with a gynaecologist.

Hi, doc. Thank you so much for your response. This is such a big help for me. I am so even stressing myself for affecting my fertility because of some illnesses like hormones, stress too and of course, lack of sleep. and I'm so happy it can't affect my fertility(even I'm bloated), I never been to a doctor for not enough money. That's why I've been busy myself doing yoga. So, yoga is good for me doc, right? Just for sure, I have some balances and sleep for 8 hours, if I'm not mistaken? I guess, I wanted to have kids soon cause, I'm 23 and I'm getting old. Or if God would give me grace, I would love too. and thank God, I just wanted to hear some good news and it motivates me because, fertility is important me us and me, too..as soon as I want to. It makes me motivate doing my yoga routine(as your advices, it helps a lot) .. and doc, one more thing? Even without went from a doctor, can I have to buy ferrous sulfate, for my regulations cycle and conceive soon? or Ascorbic Acid?> What do you think? Thank you so much, God Bless !!!
