Sorry if this is stupid... most of this I should already know (please don't bash me for being ignorant!), and thought I did until I started thinking about it & was like, "hey, I guess I don't really know as much as I thought I did"
Ok, well, I've always had irregular periods (sometimes I get a normal flow every month for a few months... sometimes I go 3-4 months w/out one, sometimes I'll start to get it, it'll go away for a day or two, then will come back for half a day and go away... then a week or 2 later will come back, etc..- sometimes I'm sure it's due to my eating habits, other times not) It's also usually very random as far as around what time of the month it is. I'm wondering how ovulation is effected by this, or vise versa-? This is something I've never really worried about too much. I try my best to keep track of my periods, and have found no consistancy in anything. To the best of my knowledge ovulation happens about 2 weeks before you menstrate (i could be wrong.. again this isn't something I've haven't really educated myself on lately & it's been a looong time since I've been in sex-ed) Regardless of how often you do/don't menstrate, is ovulation still fairly consistant?
I'm also wondering what's the most inexpensive/accurate ovulation tests?
Any info anyone can provide and/or any good sites about this kind of thing that anyone can direct me to? I really appreciate it!!!
BTW: I was gonna look some of this stuff on the net... but my computer is messing up right now and for some reason is having trouble w/certain sites, etc... but once it's working better I'm gonna do some more research.
