VERON, 32, from Kuala Lumpur, has never had a regular menstrual cycle. At times, she would go for five to six months before she gets her period. “I knew when I was a young teenager that getting pregnant wasn’t going to be easy for me because I didn’t have regular periods. Sometimes it would skip five or six months.
“I spoke with my doctor a few times during those ‘early’ years and I was always reassured that when I wanted to start a family, it wouldn’t be a problem. I thought, ‘Okay, so I will probably have to take a pill a month or so before I want to get pregnant.’”
