Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I have seen your reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity).

Your age is already 38, and now you should be vigilant to take precautions, a healthy lifestyle, and better physical activities to have a conception.

1. Have a healthy balanced diet with less sugar, salt, oil, and spice.

2. Go for a daily walk, exercise, and do yoga to have a normal BMI (basal metabolic index) and weight.

3. Have complete check and treatment of any health issue you have, like thyroid, diabetes other hormonal imbalances that can cause issues in conception.

4. Have folic acid 5 mg daily if you are not having a normal BMI or have any health issues for which you have been treated; otherwise normal dose is 0.4 mg daily.

5. Have sex in the fertile period of the cycle like if you have 28 days cycle, the fertile period would be from day 8 to day 13. In the case of irregular cycles, you can have sex on alternate nights on suspected fertile days. Also, your husband should have proper health. If he has any health issue better to have treatment for that and avoid tobacco smoking (recreational drugs reduces fertility and causes congenital anomalies).

If you have irregular cycles, then have a recent transvaginal scan and blood tests (progesterone, prolactin, testosterone, insulin, thyroid function test, follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone) on day 2 of periods.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and take care.
