Trying to conceive. Have regular period. Taking ova shield tablets. What is the cause?
Patient: hi, I am 35, 5'5 and 60kgs, I am having one 10 years old daughter, earlier we are on planning but since 8 months we are trying to conceive but unluckily not. I am taking ova shield tablets from my 3rd day of period.i had regular period every month and my doctor had advised scanning and it comes normal. but then why I am unable to conceive plz help me.thanks. Doctor: Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. No doubt you are a mother of 10 year child ,but at present your age is 35 years and so many ovarian follicles has completed their life . Now your are taking clomiphene + nutritional supplement ( ova shield) for stimulation of ovulation and in spite of   8 months you are not getting pregnant . In my opinion please take this as a fresh case. First of all get in endometrium test whether its thickness is able to receive fertilized ovum or not.Get in blood for L H /FSH ratio,Ultrasound of ovaries. If all tests normal then get in study of ovarian follicle ( whether they mature or not mature , if mature than they attain full size for ovulation and burst or not for release of ovum) . Hope I have answered your question and you understand all things. If further any question I will reply. Good luck. Dr. HET
