Irregular periods and??

I have periods maybe 2-3 times a year so my doctor prescribed medroxyprogesterone to start my period so i can start b/c a week after because u need a period before b/c can be effective. I never went through with that and a year later I askd another doctor telling her that I want to be pregnant but she said I need to start b/c to regulate periods first, but she never prescribed the medroxyprogesterone to start my period first.... WHY? isnt she supposed to? can i take b/c before I actually have my period...AND IMPORANT!! B/c regulates periods but does it have anything to do with ovulation

Irregular periods and??
The doctor is treating the symptoms not the problem.....she/he most likely just wants you to go away. I did the birth control for 6 months thing and had break through bleeding the whole time...At the end of 6 months not a dang thing had changed.....it took me three years after that to get pregnant and I lost that one at 12 weeks and another three years after that to get pregnant with my son. If you actually want help with getting pregnant you should probably try a fertility specialist.
Reply:idk. Im only in sixth grade and just started my period. And I dont plan on having sex anytime soon.
Reply:These are questions you must ask your doctor. But I can tell your right off the bat that that has nothing to do with ovulation. Progesterone is going to cause you to have a period. The reason is: An ovulating woman produces progesterone - progesterone is produced by the corpus luteum (where the egg was released from the ovary) on average 14 days. When the corpus luteum stops producing progesterone you will have a period. The reason she is prescribing progesterone is to mimic this in your body. It has nothing to do with ovulation. A drug Clomid, an anti-estrogen is generally prescribed for inducing ovulation.
