Question

my name is sunanda.my husband serum analysis is good.for me egg size is less.i am using letrozole tablet of 50 mg and growth is good.last period is delayed for 19 days but result is -ve from first onwards.but in ultrasound scan after one week we can confirm the pregancy ,the report came for me.by using this tablet when we can except
the result,if it is -ve in starting days then after it is +ve .please reply to my query.

Answer: You can check whether you are pregnant or not by a urine test 15 days after ovulation. If it is negative,do a beta hcg blood test one week later.
If that is still negative , you are not pregnant. During the next cycle, have an ultrasound done on day 12 of the period to determine when you are ovulating .
Also, have your tubes checked by HSG ( hystero-salpingogram) or laparoscopy to check that they are ok. All the best !


Question


I am 31 years old. I want to conceive soon but i have irregular periods and get a gap more than 6 months until i take any tablets for withdrawl. I did my progesterone test on 8th day of my cycle(progesterone level 0.27) and then on 21st day of my cycle(progesterone level is 0.16 ng). I found that i am not ovulating. PLease advise what should i do to conceive. Can i get pregant in such situation.

Answer: As per the progesterone report, you did not ovulate during that cycle. You must have your FSH and LH hormones checked on day 2 of the next period.
If these are normal, start clomid tablets to help you ovulate. Have an ultrasound done on day 12 of the period and  again every 3 days to determine when you are ovulating. If you do not ovulate, discuss with your doctor regarding increasing the dose of clomid  in the next cycle and also giving certain injections, if required. All the best !


Question


Dear Doctor, i conceived in march and had miscarriage in August at 6 th month, and bled for nearly 25 days. i got my periods after taking a tablet on oct 22nd which lasted for 7 days, and next period on 20 november just for 3 days. and i was advice to take siphene 50 mg on 2nd upto 6th day of my period, My question is when will i c
onceive after taking siphene? and what could be the reason for miscarriage so late at 6 th month?

Answer: You have not mentioned whether the baby was alive when you miscarried or not. The reason for the miscariage would be different accordingly.
Let me know that, so I can advice you accordingly.
Siphene should help you ovulate. Have an ultrasound done on day 12 of the period to determine the fertile period.

B) PCO

Question


Dear Doc, I was detected with PCODs and Doc advised me to take Diane from 2nd day of my period till 21 days to regularise it. It caused nausea for 4 days and thus i was put on duphastone once a day, which caused spotting (dark brown), the doctor advised me to take it twice a day. Now the bleeding is more and is red instead of brown. I am concerned, if i am on the right tablets. please advice...

Answer: You have not mentioned whether this was a delayed period, which is common in PCOD.

If you had forgotten even one tablet of Diane, you could have had bleeding. Now, take primolut- n - one tablet twicwe a day for 21 days to stop your bleeding. Please take the tablet 12- hourly and do not forget any. After stopping that , you should get a period. Have an ultrasound done on day 5 of the period to rule out any other cyst or fibroid in the uterus. Let me know the result, so I can advice you further.


Question


Hai Doctor, My age is 23, i have polystic ovaries, doctor diagnised and she is giving mcbm tablet and glycomet tablet, I have been aking this tablet past 2 weeks, she told me to come once in week for polystic ovaries check up, when all i go she tells methat you have polystic on both ovaires, till how many dyas i should consume this tablet, to be egg release

Answer: I do not know about mcbm tablets, but glycophage does help sometimes to help you ovulate, so you can continue it till you are pregnant. However, that alone may not help. Have an ultrasound done on day 12 of the period and again on day 16 to determine whether you are ovulating or not. If not, you would require clomid tablets during the next cycle. You can discuss the dose with your doctor.


Question


Mam,Iam married for 3 years.My periods are irregular.An year after marriage,i conceived with induced ovulation,but uderwent miscarriage in the 5th month due to incompetent cervix.After an year from that we tried having a baby,but in vain.My periods continued to be irregular.My doc induced periods with tab MEPRATE and the tests done thereafter diagnoised me with PCOD.Bleeding continued for 6 days which was unusual for me (usually it is 3-4 days).From 7th day of my periods Iam on GLYCOMET.We were togather during 12th to 16th day of my cycle.On the 17th day of my cycle i experienced light bleeding for 2 days with breaks.Today is the 24th day.Is there any thing wrong doctor?What might have caused this unexpected bleeding in the 17th day of my cycle?Please

Answer: Irregular periods are common with PCOD.You may have had bleeding on the 17th day because you ovulated that day. You must have ultrasound done every cycle on the 12th day of the period and again on the 16th day to determine when you are ovulating. The timing of ovulation maybe late in your case because of the PCOD. It is also different in every woman and ,even in the same woman it changes every cycle. Ultrasound would be the best guide.

Answer: Sorry to hear about your miscarriages. What has been given as ATT treatment? Low dose aspirin, duphaston and heparin have all been given to prevent a missed abortion . Also, have your thyroid hormone checked, as an abnormality in that can also cause probelems. Let me know the results, so I can advice you further.


D) OTHERS

Question


Im 26yrs married 70kg 5.2, married for 2 years had a misscarriage at 5 months . now when i consulted a gynaec she has prescribed injection placentrex but didnt tell why could you suggest why its given n does it have any side effects? can i concieve with treatment all my earlier reports were good.

Answer: You have to check with your doctor why that was given , as there are many indications for it. Placentrex may help to reduce any adhesions that may have formed around the tubes, in case there had been infection after your miscarriage. You should be able to conceive.


Question


I had sex with my boyfriend everytime with a condome and he never ejacuated inside.This month my period is runnin 10 days late doctor suggested deviry 10mg for 5 days. Shall this medicine will clear if there is any chance for pregnency? Please give your valuable suggestion as I am pretty worried

Answer: Deviry will induce a period , in case you are not pregnant. I suggest that you use oral contraceptive pills or the Evra patch to prevent a pregnancy , as these have a very low failure rate, as compared to the condom.


Question


I had anterior and posterior repairs done 5 days ago and have had a good pain free recovery so far, However I can feel the familiar itching of thrush inside my vagina and wonder if it is safe to use canesten cream even though my sutures are still so new?

Answer: You can use gyno pevaryl vaginal pessaries- 150 mgm each for 3 nights. These are soft pessaries, so will be easier to use now.


Question


Hello Dr. am using polygynax for an infection and trying to get pregnant at the same time. Could it cause any side effects?? may be disturb the conception?? thanks

Answer: You cannot have intercourse while you are using the pessaries, so you should use it after the fertile period is finished.Otherwise, it would not affect conception.

Question


am on Yasmin (since 20/11/11- the 1st sunday of my
cycle). there is some important family occasion from the 10-22nd of dec
at home hence i would like to prepone my period to 4/5th dec instead of
on 12/13th dec....please suggest

Answer: I was out of town, so could not answer your question immediately. Also, your questions are sent to the omanaccess website and then are sent to me . After I answer them , I send them to the website, where they are posted. For future, you should delay the period rather than try to prepone it , as sometimes trying to prepone it may not be effective or may cause continuous spotting .
