How can I conceive after two years of birth control shots?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am trying to conceive. I was on the birth control shot for years, but it has been off for two years now.

Please help.

Answered by Dr. Uzma Arqam

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please share your detailed medical history. I suggest you to follow a few instructions mentioned below:

  1. Have a balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables.

  2. Have sex in the fertile period of the cycle.

  3. Have Folic acid daily 5 mg.

  4. Quit recreational drugs as these reduce fertility and increase the chances of congenital anomalies.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
