It depends: It depends on why you are doing the prolonged bleeding. If it is an infection, a polyp, or cervicitis, your ovulation won't be effected but, if the problem is that you didn't ovulate before, you may may ovulate on time this time. Bleeding for 17 days is not normal and you need to see your doctor to find out why you are doing this.

Question 7

Maybe/not: There are many women whose cycle is normally irregular. Docs often use the pill to make them more predictable. Sexual activity without birth control can always result in pregnancy.

Question 8

how can i calculate my menstrual cycle and "fertile" period? i am having hard time calculating the length of my menstrual cycle. every time i get a different amount of time. i have a 2 year old daughter and now we are trying for a boy and i heard and read

Accepted Answer

The : The theory around timing of intercourse and gender of baby is this: 
1. The y chromosome is smaller than the x chromosome - so sperm with y chromosomes swim faster. 
2. If you have intercourse at the time of ovulation - the first sperm to get to the egg are the y containing sperm.
3. If you have intercourse before ovulation - the later sperm (supposedly x containing sperm) will be the ones hanging around waiting for the egg once it ovulates

this is purely a theory and has not be proven.

You are most fertile in the middle of your cycle, near ovulation.

If you have 31-32 day cycles - you are most likely ovulating around cycle day 15-17.

In general, i recommend starting to have intercourse every other day between cycle day 10 and 20.

I hope this helps!

Question 9

before i miscarried my ultrasound read: gest sac: 29 mm 8w 0d crl: 4 mm 6w 1d +/- 0w 4d could i have a complete molar pregnancy? or is only partial an option?  my gestational sac was measuring large and a crown rump length was measured.

Accepted Answer

Hard to answer: Ultrasound features – Partial moles are often indistinguishable from complete moles on ultrasound. However, demonstration of fetal parts favors the diagnosis of a partial mole. Histological analysis of the aborted tissue  is usually helpful in confirming the definite diagnosis. Your case demonstrates significantly enlarged sac which may happen with any molar pregnancy.
