Nowadays, due to some problems with many foods, coupled with irregular lifestyle and diet, and perhaps genetic inheritance, many people have menstrual disorders. This phenomenon is becoming more and more common and may affect pregnancy. So, what should we do if we want to have a baby in this situation. So, let's learn together how to prepare for pregnancy when menstruation is extremely irregular?
How to prepare for pregnancy when menstruation is extremely irregular
Women with irregular menstrual periods are prone to making mistakes when calculating ovulation period based on menstrual time, so doctors generally recommend another method of observing ovulation period, the most common of which is basal body temperature measurement. Under normal circumstances, the body temperature rises by 0.3 ℃ -0.5 ℃ after ovulation. If there is no ovulation, the body temperature does not rise and remains low throughout the entire cycle. This method can only indicate that ovulation has occurred, but cannot predict when ovulation will occur.
Basal body temperature is the temperature measured in bed after waking up in the morning without any activity, which indirectly reflects the function of the ovaries. Before ovulation, the basal body temperature is lower than the normal body temperature. During ovulation, the body temperature continues to decrease by 0.1-0.2 ℃. After ovulation, the body temperature immediately increases by 0.3-0.5 ℃ until the onset of menstruation. 1-2 days before menstruation, the body temperature will decrease again. This is the so-called biphasic curve, indicating ovulation. If the body temperature remains close to the same level, it is called a monophasic curve, indicating anovulation.
What should I do if my menstrual cycle is irregular
1. Mental aspect
If women experience mental depression, anxiety, sadness, etc., it can affect their normal menstrual cycle. Therefore, it is important to maintain a happy mood and avoid mental stimulation and emotional fluctuations. Some women may experience lower abdominal distension, lower back pain, breast tenderness, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability, or depression during their menstrual period, which are all normal and do not require excessive tension. Learn to control your emotions well.
2. In terms of hygiene and nursing
Women should pay attention to hygiene during their menstrual period, prevent infections, and also pay attention to the hygiene and cleanliness of their external genitalia. It should be noted that sexual intercourse is absolutely prohibited during menstruation. Underwear should be soft, made of cotton, with good ventilation and air permeability. It should be washed and changed frequently, and the changed underwear should be dried in the sun.
If you want to prepare for pregnancy, then follow these methods. Irregular menstruation itself may lead to difficulties in preparing for pregnancy, and these may be useful. It is better to believe in them or not. It won't cause any harm to the body, and if possible, it's important to first address menstrual irregularities. Menstruation is really important for women.
