Nope, pregnancy is not confirmed yet. I am trying to self analyse before the final resot of going and seeing a doctor .
I am trying from couple of months with no success. I got myself check up twice sonography and all that stuff. All reports are good . My periods have been super regular 28-30 days. No exception ever.
I am a non smoker and occasionally drink vine. No hard liquor. Dont have very high physical level of activities.
I am not able to understand reason for no success .
Like i said above i sleep on my stomatch with my face down. I don't know is that is a factor.
This month i have tracked my ovulation from day 8 till going on.i have got positive result on 19th day.i am little confused and trying to understand as to how i can ovulate on 19th day and have a 30 day cycle . This does not align with the theory of someone getting periods on 14th day from ovulation if it is not fertilized.Can there be an anomliy to that ?
Please go ahead and ask. I will be more than happy to give you more info.

Brief Answer:
Hypothyroidism can cause infertility.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Thyroid diseases like hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism can cause infertility.
Hypothyroidism is much more common than hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism affects women of productive age more.
In this, there is deficiency of thyroid hormones. So this causes transudative fluid accumulation in visceras (organs) including uterus. Hence uterus will be more edematous. So it will affect implantation. Hypothyroidism also interfere with motility of fallopian tube.
So hypothyroidism is known cause for infertility.
Common symptoms of hypothyroidism are weight gain, puffiness of face, decreased libido, shiny skin, increased sleepiness etc.
Please reply me if you have any of these symptoms, I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
