This might make me sound really stupid, but was wondering if you can get pregnant without regular periods. I havn't had a period since July! my dd is nearly 3.5 and i didn't have a period after she was born until she was 16 months. Iv'e been for ultrasound to see if there's a problen and nothing wrong. longing for no 2 and dp agrees the time is right. can anyone help. thanks

im 3 stone overweight after having dd. could this be a factor? have tried diets on and off since she was born but cannot stick to them for more than a couple of weeks.

how's your weight chunky? If you're underweight your periods can stop. I had anorexia nervosa in my late teens/early 20s and completely miraculously conceived my dd1 even though I hadn't had a period in six months. Everybody was stunned though and it seemed like a bit of a biological fluke, but it can happen.
