Hi again,
It is normal for your period to change within the range of 26-28 days. And it also can change in length, how heavy it is, color, etc. These are all considered normal. Have you been able to track your cycles so you have an idea when to "try" to get pregnant? If your periods are slightly unpredictable, you may want to add a day or two on each end of your "trying time" to increase your chances of attaining a pregnancy. Bear in mind, in any given month, you have roughly a 20% chance of getting pregnant anyway, so it may take a bit of work to make it happen, especially if you have other health conditions.

Has your doctor suggested any options to help you with trying to conceive? Here is an article about that topic:Trying to Conceive: An Emotional Process
In regard to your weight gain, does your doctor think this has anything to do with your medical condition? When trying to conceive, it's a great time to work on building a healthier lifestyle for yourself. If you think you need help to overcome bad eating habits or find a workout regimen that is right for you, talk with your doctor.
