The follower says she sometimes goes months without menstruating; Can you still get pregnant?
Doctor, my cycle is very irregular. Sometimes I go for months without a period and the doctor says this could happen until I’m 24, 25, so I’m not at much risk of getting pregnant. And that?
Let’s separate the issues. Some women actually have significant menstrual irregularity and this can take a few years to resolve while hormonal maturity is not reached.
Other women also have what we call polycystic ovaries. These polycystic ovaries can also interfere with hormone levels and cause menstrual irregularities.
Now, just because you have a menstrual irregularity doesn’t mean you’re not at risk for pregnancy. One thing does not necessarily have to do with another. In other words, even if you have irregular periods, sooner or later, if you have unprotected sex during your fertile period, you can get pregnant.
This is why it is essential to discuss with your doctor and gynecologist the best prevention strategy for you.
