Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

My menstrual cycle at the beginning of puberty was extremely irregular. Over the years it has regularised, more so after marriage and my cycle is 28 to 32 days. My husband and i want to conceive now and i stopped using the pill around 5 months ago. Will my irregular cycle history cause a problem in conception? Also, does implantation bleeding happen to everyone once pregnant? And how soon after intercourse is implantation bleeding expected? Please help! pratheeksha replied. Irregular cycles do not affect your fertility, just that calculating the exact date of ovulation may be difficult. In any case, as long as you are getting your periods within this time frame every month, there is no issue.

No, implantation bleeding does not necessarily happen to everyone, it may or may not happen though pregnancy has occurred. If it happens, it will be near to the expected date of your period, which would be almost 2 weeks after ovulation. However, the discharge due to this would not be like in the case of a normal period, it would be spotting and colored different as compared to your period discharge.
