hi_ have a problem trying to get pregnant. Came off the pill exactly a year ago. was on the pill as birth control method and also to regulate periods. Anyway, off them now and periods are all over the place. For the two months i didn't get one which i know can be normal because it takes system a while to get back to normal. However, then i got one and non again for 82 days, then there seems to be between 37 and 45 days between all the rest. For the last two months, i have had a brown ( like old blood) discharge for a 5-6 days, followed by maybe 10 days of nothing, then a period. At first I thought this brown discharge was period, but when the regular period came i was totally confused. I don't know what is causing this, why my periods aren't more regular and how to know when to try for a baby- there are no reliable fertility signs. I was confident that i was ovulating last Wed and Thurs but the brown discharge started yesterday accompanied by that heavy, sinking feeling in my tummy i always get with a period. Can anyone shed light on why this is so _ i desperately want a baby. %-)
