Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
We got married for the past three years. We planned to have a child after one year. We tried to conceive for about a year but were unable to do so. Then we consulted a doctor who conducted many tests such as endometrial lining, hormonal levels, etc. All tests including hormonal levels were normal but the ultrasound as per doctor showed PCO (not PCOS). She prescribed medicines for three months, Duphaston 10 mg from 16th day of period, Feril XT, and M-Fol. At the end of the third month, my wife felt pain similar to menses but nothing happened. We tested with hCG strip which resulted in positive and her last period date is 2nd April. Now the problem is I am now unable to contact the present doctor due to lockdown. I want suggestions regarding, whether to continue the medicines or not? If not will there be a change in medicine? Any specific diet plan? Any exercise, yoga, etc? Will complete bed rest help or can she do some house chores in the initial pregnancy period?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If the hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) strip results positive, it means that your wife is pregnant. Based on her last menstrual date she is 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant. She can take Duphaston for two weeks every day two tablets a day and Folic acid 400 mcg one tablet a day until 12 weeks of pregnancy. She should not take any other medication.

Thank you doctor,
Please specify dietary and other preferences and avoids to be followed.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Eat a healthy diet with plenty of vegetables and fruits. She can do light exercise not to force too much. She can do normal and healthy life. At 6-7 weeks of pregnancy, she should perform an obstetric ultrasound to evaluate the wellbeing of pregnancy and heart embryo activity. She will also perform a blood test to see the level of hemoglobin.
