    What are my chances of conciving?
    My period is never the same. One month it can be at the start, then the next it could be at the end, then the next it could be in the middle. I have been thinking lately, what are my chancing of getting pregnant when my ovulation days are never straight. Can someone help me? I am not trying to get pregnant now, I am only sixteen, this is for the future so I don't have to worry about it

    How old were you when you started your period? For many young girls it takes a number of years after the first period to become regular.

    It could still take up until the age of 19 to become regular. On that note, many women who have babies are not regular. It comes down to monitoring your periods on a calendar for up to a year to find out what your average cycle is.

    If you are not wanting to become pregnant now, and you are sexually active, are you on birth control?

    You're so young I wouldn't worry about the irregularity until you're trying to conceive... if you're still irregular when you are past 20, then I suggest you go to a gynocologyst for answers, plus, you should already be going for regular pap smears and such. It's not fun but it will help you a lot.

    Pap smears are not necessary until a woman is sexually active. We no longer recommend smears on girls ages 15 - 18 if they are not having sex.

    If you are having sex, then it is recommended you go to the gyno once a year for an annual female exam
