Trying to conceive. Had miscarriage and abortion. Will it affect pregnancy? When does one ovulate?
Patient: hi i am 29 a mother to a 4 year old and me and my partner are trying for another baby, my partner is a HGV driver which means he is sat down all day then when he gets home he is atired from work so will just lie down on the sofa until bedtime i have heard that being sat down for long periods reduces your sperm count is this tru? Also i have been reading through loads of info from the internet but still cannot figure out when i will be actually ovulating each month is it 2 weeks prior my period or 2 weeks after and if it is after do i count 2 weeks from the day my period starts or the day  my period ends. We have fallen pregnant twice before whilst i was on the pill the first time round unfortunately we lost it and the second time around we were not financially ready my partner had just lost his job so we decided to have an abortion but now im worried that this may have effected my body someway as we have been trying for 4 months now - well 4 months since i stopped taking the pill and still nothing i thought we were quite fertile considering we fell pregnant twice before whilst on the pill but that was 2 + years ago and my partner was not a HGV driver then so r all these causing barriers in my falling pregnant? Please help dont know if i can face another month of disappointment :( thank you, Jemma. Doctor: hello,thank you for using healthcare magic,if you have consulted gynecologist in past for miscarriage and abortion and it was done properly then it does not reduces your fertility.. perhaps you might take little long to concieve because of difficulty in implantation..O.C.pills does not reduces fertility neither sitting for long time reduces sperm count..after leaving o.c.pills it take around month to obtain your complete fertility.. if your cycle is of 28 to 30 days then you will ovulate on 13th to 15th day.. usually on 14th day...you can confirm by it looking your vaginal secretion it will become thick, take your temprature on morning before getting out of bed.. start taking it from 12th day.. if ovulation occurs your temp will increase by 0.5 to 1 celsius..12 th to 18th day of your cycle considering first day of your period as a first day of your cycle will be fertile.. during this period have intercourse 3 to 4 times or more if possible...keep trying for at least a year then too you are not able to concieve then you need to worry..hope this helps you,Regards,Dr.Nehal..
