You should undergo a thorough gynec check up and endovaginal sonography to rule out any pathology.
A woman usually ovulates 14 days prior to next menstrual period. But if you menstruate twice in a month it may be difficult to estimate fertile window

Are your periods irregular in general? For irregular period getting to know the fertile time is tough. Also get a urine pregnancy test if this is the first time bleeding occured twice in a month.

Since when are you trying to conceive? If it's been less than 1 year, then one year of regular unprotected intercourse is required before you need to consult a gynaecologist . If you got periods twice in one month, whether both the times you had the normal amount of bleeding that you always have during periods? Or it was only spotting on one occasion?
You and your husband need to have relations every alternate day after the bleeding stops till you get your next period. Sometimes you may ovulate early, sometimes late in the cycle. That is why the periods fluctuate. When you ovulate, 15 days later you get your period.
So relations every alternate day without any protection should work. If you do not conceive after 1 year of trying this way, then you need to see a gynaecologist.

Thank you for choosing Practo. As your periods are irregular it is difficult to predict the exact date of ovulation i.e when the egg releases from the ovary. Also, there are ovulation kits available. We can plan your exact ovulation and timed intercourse by doing a scan and running some tests. Kindly get back with more details and previous reports for further advise.
Next Steps
you need further blood evaluation and ultrasound if you are having irregular periods for long duration.

In your case we can't be sure of ovulation, so it's difficult to say about fertility window. Was bleeding on 20th normal flow or just slight.
You need to consult gynecologist and do some test. And then you can discuss about pregnancy with them.
Next Steps
do urine pregnancy test first

Getting periods twice a month is abnormal. It is not possible for your ovary to release egg twice in a month. You need to undergo a thorough examination by a gynaecologist to rule out any hormonal imbalance/ polyp/fibroid or any other uterine pathology. Gynaecologist will advise any blood investigations after examining you.
Next Steps
First step is to do a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.
Health Tips
Once your periods are regular, you will conceive automatically.

In a normal 28 day cycle the fertile window can be predicted to be somewhere between 8th to 18th day...but with a irregular cycle it becomes difficult to assess when the ovulation is occurring. Has it been irregular always ?
Or Is this the first time you had frequent periods? If yes then observe subsequent cycles .if its happening again then there may be a hormonal disturbance.
Next Steps
consult a gynaec for further work up.your doctor may ask you regarding your previous and present cycles, how long since you are trying to concieve and any other associated problems and will advise accordingly.
Health Tips
having just one disturbed cycle does not mean anything much and can be ignored as one-off event
