Those who wish to get pregnant should have intercourse on days when these symptoms are present because the chances of becoming pregnant increase.
Fertile period in irregular menstruation
It is very difficult to know exactly when it is the fertile period of the woman who has irregular menstruation, because this period corresponds exactly to the middle of the cycle, that is, the time that varies from one menstruation to another. If the woman does not know when her next period should come, there may be some error in this calculation.
Therefore, for all those who have an irregular menstrual cycle, the best way to know when it is their fertile period is to count, every month, 14 days after the first day of menstruation.
