Does irregular menses affect the chances of getting pregnant?

Doctor's Answer

Regular menstruation is an indicator of regular ovulation.

This is the release of the egg for fertilisation. If this happens once every 6 months you can imagine what your chances of getting pregnant are.

Once every 6 months as opposed to every month.

So yes, having irregular menses does adversely affect your chances of getting pregnant.
