If there are: Variations in menses, well, the body is not a perfect clock. One way to reduce stress is by using an ovulation predictor kit. Bbt meas. Are kind of old school. Consider a fasting insulin, if elevated, or u have 1 st degree relative w/type 2 diabetes, metformin may help w/wt control and ovulation. A drug called topirimate as well can help headaches and weight but not 2 be used in pregnancy, gdlu.
