Sort of.

Young girls don't have periods, and can't get pregnant. But at some point they start releasing eggs, (which usually happens about 2 weeks before your period starts) but their periods are irregular- maybe skipping a few months here and there.

Women who are breast feeding can go up to a year after the baby's born before getting a period again. Older women stop having periods but go through a stage like teens do when they are very irregular. They might go months without one, then start again.

Anyway- the important thing is that your period comes AFTER the egg is released, so in any of the above circumstances, a woman could get pregnant without having had a period for a while.

There are Birth Control pills that keep women from having a period, but it also keeps them from releasing eggs (the missed period is just an extra bonus). Safest bet if you don't want to get pregnant- always use birth control (or don't have sex...) If you want to get pregnant- see a doctor to find out why no periods.

Why is it hard to get pregnant with irregular periods?

Irregular periods can indicate irregular ovulation, making it difficult to predict when ovulation occurs and therefore when to time intercourse for conception.
