    Afraid of pregnancy
    I don't have a regular menstruation cycle I get it sometimes to a month or I skip months and am afraid of having sex because I might have a higher chance of getting pregnant?? Is that possible? :confused:

    I think you can get pregnant at any time, just use proper birth control.

    You don't really have a higher chance than normal, in fact you may have less of a chance. The tricky part is that it becomes more difficult to determine when you are most likely to ovulate with irregular cycles so you can't really determine what time may increase the odds of pregnancy and what time may decrease the odds. As love to abby said, use protection every time and you don't have to worry anymore than anyone else would.

    I agree with Doula here in part. Just because you do not have a period every month does not mean you are not ovulating (anovulatory). Some women still ovulate however not enough endometrial tissue has built up to be shed during a normal menstrual cycle. I have been amenorrheic all of my life pracitcally (no periods), however I have 4 beautiful children.

    If you are not ready to be a parent, please use proper birth control or abstain from sex (if you can) until parenthood is something you desire.
