Start folic acid

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us.

I have seen your report (it is done 4 months before) where your ESR and Total count was high. It indicates infection in your body. If you got treatment for it then mostly it would have decreased.
And also it indicates that you have low hemoglobin levels which suggest anemia.
I suggest you repeat the test.

Along with it I also suggest you get blood tests done thyroid, vitamin D and B12

I would like to know do you get regular periods? What is the duration of cycle means 28 or 30 days?

Nothing to worry since you are trying to conceive from 2 months.
If you are not able to conceive for 6 months after active sexual intercourse then you need to worry.

I also suggest you start folic acid tablets once a day.

And take vitamin A according to doctor's prescription.

Eat healthy food like iron rich food like jaggery, fruits and vegetables like beetroot, carrot and green leafy vegetables.

If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.

Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Take folic acid

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

I have gone through your menstrual cycle dates chat.

It seems like you have regular period with duration 25-28 days cycle which is normal.

You can continue folic acid until you conceive and if you get pregnant you need to continue for 5 months

If every thing goes well then you will able to conceive within 3-6 months.

I suggest you have regular intercourse especially during ovulation time between 10th-18 th day of your periods.

Do not take stress, stress it self can delay conception.

If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.

Thank you
