I am 29 years old. I am trying to conceive, but circumstances are not favored. My husband's odd work timings makes him too tired. We are hardly trying twice a month. Sugar and lipid profile are normal. Also, pap smear done, which is normal.

Answer 1

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. If you have been married for more than a year and trying to conceive, then you should carry out some tests. It includes thyroid hormone profile, serum estrogen, FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) levels and TORCH infection profile (toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes and others), urine examination, vaginal swab culture and ultrasound of uterus to pinpoint the cause. Also, carry out your husband's semen analysis. Try to conceive between 10 and 20 days of your menstrual cycle. Do not worry and relax.

Answer 2

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. In your complete blood count report, we noticed an elevated eosinophil count, which could be indicative of an eosinophilic disorder. Such a condition may be associated with your current complaints. Additionally, the CBC results suggest the possibility of vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency. However, there is no need to worry as both conditions are treatable. To further assess your pulmonary function and gain a comprehensive understanding of your health, we recommend considering a PFT (pulmonary function test) along with sharing your complete blood count report. Early detection and appropriate management can lead to improved outcomes and overall well-being.
