Your question seems to be in continuation with previous correspondence but in this app your question reaches to any doctor on panel and not necessarily to same doctor unless it is private consultation. By chance if reaches to same doctor then also do not expect doctor to remember all question answers by name of patient. Every time you ask question write full details.

It is very difficult to say about chances of pregnancy in irregular periods. A number of factors increase the chance of irregular menstruation. Most relate to hormone production. The two hormones that impact menstruation are estrogen and progesterone. These are the hormones that regulate the cycle. Contraceptives can cause irregular bleeding. An intrauterine device (iud) may cause heavy bleeding, while the contraceptive pill can cause spotting between periods. Other changes that are associated with irregular periods include: -extreme weight loss -extreme weight gain -emotional stress -eating disorders, such as anorexia or bulimia -endurance exercise, for example, marathon running.
