Can I get pregnant with irregular period?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Yes, if sexual intercourse occurs during ovulation time then you can get pregnant. Ovulation time is from day 12 to day 17 (first day of period counted as day 1) usually in women with regular periods. In women with iregular periods, ovulation can happen anytime, thereby not knowing the time to do sexual intercourse.

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. My husband has been getting treatment for lymph node tuberculosis for the past 9 months, but he stopped the medication 10 days ago and seems to be better now. We've been married for a year and I've been wondering if it's okay to try to conceive during his TB treatment. Now my period's late and I'm not sure if I'm pregnant. Is there a risk with his recent medication, or is it safe for us to start planning for a baby?

It's generally safe to conceive if your husband has completed treatment for lymph node TB and is cured. If he was still on medication, it might have been advisable to consult your doctor for guidance. Since your periods are delayed, take a pregnancy test to confirm, and consult your gynecologist for further advice.

My mom is 49 and just found out she has multiple uterine fibroids with a bulky uterus and distorted shape. What could happen if she doesn't get treatment and what are her options? Is surgery usually recommended for this and what are the risks involved?

If left untreated, multiple uterine fibroids and a bulky uterus can lead to severe pain, excessive bleeding, anemia, and potentially infertility or complications during pregnancy. Treatment options range from medication to reduce symptoms and shrink fibroids to surgical removal of fibroids or the uterus. While surgery is an option, it's not always the first choice, and other options like medication, uterine artery embolization, or focused ultrasound may be considered. The decision of whether or not to proceed with surgery, and which surgical option is best, depends on the severity of symptoms, the size and location of the fibroids, and the patient's individual circumstances
