28 days is only an average estimate of a woman's menstrual cycle. It's very common for women to have periods that are either completely unpredictable in timing or "normal" in a longer/shorter duration.

Use an ovulation kit to find out when you're ovulating to help with conception. You can purchase them at any place you'd be able to purchase a pregnancy test. They're expensive, but they're worth if you really want to conceive.

It's fine. I have a 335 day cycle, always have, and probably always will. It's no biggie, at least you know...that will make it all that much easier to get pregnant b/c you can track it. I have 2 children, so I know it didn't affect anything in that department! ;) Everyone's cycle is different...some people go less than 28 days, some go more.

I get my period every 5 weeks also. I had no problem getting pregnant. We got pregnant the first month we tried. I just ovulate a little later than most women. I'm not sure when I do actually ovulate but when my husband and I were trying I just planned that I was ovulating any time between 2-3 weeks after the start of my last period and it worked good for me. If you're worried about it you could pick up an ovulation test to find out when you are ovulating. But...don't worry so much about it. I don't think you'll have any problem!

Everyone's cycle is different. When I was trying to get pregnant I read Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. I would highly recommend the book because it really helped me to understand my cycle.

You never know how these things will work out. My first two pregnancies (one miscarriage) were conceived with the help of fertility drugs because I have PCOS. My third pregnancy was without the help of fertility drugs and conceived the first month off the pill.

Good luck!

I have my period every 5 weeks as well. This just started about a year ago, when my youngest son started eating solids on a regular basis and I wasn't nursing him as much. I've always had a 28 day cycle, but now after 3 children, it's changed. Dr said it's normal and not to worry. Even after a year, I think I am pregnant every month because of that extra week. I guess I'm not used to it yet. We haven't tried to have another baby since this started, but I would say if your cycle is consistently 5 weeks, then you shouldn't have any problems getting pregnant. Good luck!

My cycle has always been a 35 day monthly cycle...
I am currently due in 19 days with my 4th child... Once you KNOW your cycle its not too hard to figure out when you ovulate...

The only thing drs know for sure is that no woman is exactly the same... Yes, the average cycle is a 28 day cycle... But there are some that are shorter, some that are longer... Ovulation occurs 14 days BEFORE the start of your period. SO if you know you have a consistant 35 day cycle (with a day or so give and take) you can pinpoint to an approx week that ovulation should take place... But also, your cycle can vary by the month.
Confusing huh?

Try doing a search on the "standard days method of birthcontrol" Their sites lay out a good guide based on your cycle length. If your trying to get preggers then get busy on the days they say not to. lol

It always took me about 3 months to allow my body to readjust to a natural cycle after stopping the pill... The longest it took for a confirmed baby was 5 months...
Taking a while doesn't mean things are wrong with you... Just that it wasn't the right time. If you know you are doing it on the right days and nothing is happening after a year then maybe go have it checked out... BUT if you stress yourself out early on it won't be a good thing... Relax and have fun...
GOOD LUCK!!!

mine was like that before I had my second child, then I got an IUD and now I have no period.

I don't think that there is anything wrong with you! Believe your Dr., it's normal to go every 5 weeks. You are lucky to have had regular periods, mine never have been. I've gone months in between periods before. I still got pregnant though, just had to watch for the signs I was ovulating since my cycles were irregular. As long as you are ovulating, you can get pregnant. As we get older our bodies change, and that can include your menstrual cycle. You are still very young and healthy otherwise, so I would not worry if you don't get pregnant instantly. Have fun trying though:)

Everyone is different AND things do change as time goes on. I wouldn't worry about it. Keep in mind that after being on an oral contraceptive things could be altered a bit for a littl while. WAY back, when I went off the pill to become pregnant, it took me a whole year....my friend was pregnant that same month. Go figure???? Don't stress about it.

I have never had a regular period. My cycle skips 4, 5, or 6 weeks, I never know when it's going to come. I have 2 children and the moment I decided to try conceiving, I was lucky and two weeks later was able to confirm with a home pregnancy test. Surely everyone is different, but differences in cycles are not likely to keep you from getting pregnant. I know it didn't affect me. Best of Luck to you!
