A member asked:

I have have recovered from an eating disorder many years ago which affected my menstrual cycle (irregular). will this impact trying to conceive now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: It should not. Your menses should normalize in time, once your proper nutritional status has normalized. You can see an ob/gyn dr, who can check certain hormone levels to make sure everything is how it should be.

My husband and I are TTC baby #2. Why would I get a "peak" reading on an OPK for multiple days (4-5 days)? Does it make a difference that I am nursing my 1 year old daughter still and have not yet had a menstrual cycle since before conceiving her?
