Irregular Periods and Infertility

When Cycles Are Unpredictable — But Parenthood Doesn’t Have to Be

A regular menstrual cycle is a sign of hormonal balance and reproductive health. When your periods become erratic — arriving too early, too late, or not at all — it may signal an underlying issue affecting ovulation and fertility.

At Sparsh IVF, we understand that irregular periods can feel frustrating and unpredictable, especially when you’re trying to conceive. That’s why we offer a precise, supportive, and evidence-based approach to diagnosing and treating cycle irregularities — so your journey to pregnancy can get back on track.

What Are Irregular Periods?

A normal menstrual cycle ranges between 21 to 35 days. Any significant deviation in timing, duration, or flow may be classified as irregular.

Common irregularities include:

  • Periods that occur fewer than 9 times a year
  • Cycles shorter than 21 or longer than 35 days
  • Missed periods (amenorrhea)
  • Unusually heavy or light bleeding
  • Spotting between cycles
  • Unpredictable ovulation or no ovulation (anovulation)

These symptoms are often linked to hormonal imbalances, and left unchecked, can lead to infertility or difficulty conceiving.

Causes of Irregular Periods Affecting Fertility

Irregular periods are not a diagnosis — they are a symptom of an underlying condition. Common causes include:

  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Thyroid dysfunction (hypo/hyperthyroidism)
  • Prolactin hormone imbalance (hyperprolactinemia)
  • Obesity or very low BMI
  • Perimenopause or Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI)
  • Stress, excessive exercise, or eating disorders
  • Uterine fibroids or polyps
  • Medications or recent contraceptive withdrawal

At Sparsh IVF, our goal is to identify the root cause, not just manage the symptoms.

How Irregular Periods Affect Fertility

  • Ovulation becomes unpredictable or may not occur at all
  • Egg quality may be compromised in long or absent cycles
  • Luteal phase defects may reduce chances of implantation
  • Timing intercourse or IUI becomes challenging
  • Increased risk of miscarriage in certain hormonal disorders

Many patients with irregular cycles can conceive with the right intervention — often without needing IVF right away.

Diagnosis of Irregular Menstrual Cycles at Sparsh IVF

We use a thorough and compassionate approach to diagnose what’s disrupting your cycles:

  • FSH, LH, Estradiol, TSH, Prolactin, AMH, and insulin levels
  • Detects endocrine issues like PCOS or thyroid disorders
  • Assesses ovarian function and endometrial lining
  • Identifies PCOS, fibroids, or ovarian cysts
  • Pinpoints ovulatory patterns through follicular scans
  • MRI or hysteroscopy if structural issues are suspected

All tests are conducted in-house, ensuring faster results and fully integrated care.

Treatment Options for Irregular Periods and Fertility

Our treatment plans are customized to your diagnosis, age, and fertility goals:

  • For mild hormonal imbalance or PCOS, weight management and diet may restore regular cycles
  • Medications like Letrozole or Clomiphene trigger egg release
  • Often used in timed intercourse or IUI cycles
  • Addressing underlying endocrine issues improves both cycle regularity and fertility
  • Recommended for couples with good ovarian reserve but irregular ovulation
  • Effective for patients with multiple failed IUI cycles, age-related decline, or complex hormonal disorders
  • IVF bypasses ovulation irregularities through controlled stimulation

At Sparsh IVF, we carefully adjust stimulation protocols to minimize risk and maximize egg quality — especially in PCOS or POI patients.
