Trying To Conceive, Cramps, Have Cervical Mucus. Could I Be Pregnant?
Hi ive been currently trying to conceive and i have a question here. The past 5 months my period length has varied, 36 days, 28 days, 35 days, 27 days, 37 days. Its now day 31 and still no sign, i expected it to be early this time but still not here. I have been having some cramps that i would normally only get on the morning of my period which would disappear after around 3 hours and my cycle length would only be around 3 or 4 days and not ever really heavy. I have no idea when i ovulate because my cycle lengths vary. Also at the moment i have cervical mucas which feels like my period. So my question; should i take a test and could i possibly be pregnant?

HI,
as the length of your menstrual cycle varying it is difficult to guess the exact date of ovulation as you said,
now you can go for blood test for pregnancy to rule out the possibility,
if comes negative you once consult gynecologist to find out the cause for irregular periods like poly cystic disease etc,
you can track ovulation by ovulation kits or by ultrasound examination and can plan intercourse on that days to increase the chance of fertility.
take care.
