If my periods are irregular, it might be difficult for me to get pregnant.
Currently, no direct relationship has been discovered between fertility and the regularity of menstrual cycles. But if you have any concerns, you can consult your doctor.
If I take birth control pills, I don’t have a “real” period.
This is partially true. Birth control pills are designed to prevent ovulation and, therefore, fertilization. However, during the break from these pills, hormone levels fluctuate, similar to what happens before menstruation. It is when these hormones decrease that menstruation occurs.
