A member asked:

Can your doctor treat abnormal periods when you are trying to conceive ?

Dr. Seth Derman answered

Specializes in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

Yes: The treatment of irregular cycles is different if you want to conceive or not. Most docs will treat with birth control pills or Progesterone like drugs, but these may be unsafe for or prevent pregnancy. For couples with infertility, the treatment is inducing ovulation with fertility drugs.
