A member asked:
I have always had normal periods. since my husband and i have been trying to have a baby(over a year) i have been skipping my period every other month. what is causing this?

Several: The most obvious explanation for alternating periods is that ovulation is not occurring every month. This may be why it is taking a while for conception to occur. At age 27, pregnancy usually occurs within 8-15 months unless there are other issues involved. A basic infertility evaluation takes only 1-2 cycles and will give you useful information going forward.
