Hi Madam,

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the late response.I got pregnancy on May 2014.During scan that time i have slight bleeding.Doctor said that is splotting.
During the first scan time it is having 6 weeks 3 days.After that came to XXXXXXX and consulted doctor after 15 days and did scan again,during that time it is having same age.They said there is no heart beat and no growth of the baby.Then next day i did DNC.

Before marriage i got regular period after marriage 10 days or 1 week it is delaying.After DNC i got regular period for 6 to 7 months during that time me and my husband are at different places.After that again trying for baby from last December sometimes my period is delaying,but from past two months period is coming correct time at 2nd.

This month i have consulted doctor and done blood tests.no problem in that but prolactin is little high but using tables for that as well.After that folicular test done,above are the results.

Semen test is not done for my husband.Please let us know any other information madam and provide your comments.Iam seriously trying for baby.Please help me madam if i wanted to do anything.

Brief Answer:
Control of High Prolactin / lifestyle changes would facilitate conception.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for the information.
* It seems there was some developmental problem during your first conception. Actually conception needs healthy ovum & healthy sperm. Raised prolactin hampers ovulation.
From this point of view apart from treatment of High prolactin levels in your case, your husband should be investigated to simple semen analysis (after 3 days abstinence) , to confirm normality of sperm.
* I had seen your ovulation report. It is within normal limits, still reviled few things( The ovulation day though within normal limits, it a bit late& the size of ovum is also smaller at rupture) which indicate some problem with ovulation.
The fresh information given by you shows probable cause -- raised Prolactin levels.Though you have already started with medication for the same, I feel you would like to know few things about the problem, which will facilitate the management ..
* causes for high Prolactin are-
- Lack of sleep, Psychological /physical stress/ strenuous exercises
- Some medicines - Tranquilizers, Medicines for controlling gastro
oesophageal reflux,high blood pressure,
- Health problems like:Hypothyroidism,kidney diseases, PCOD, Pitutary problems
* Usually the strategy is to pin point basic cause of any problem for best control of any problem. In that view you must have been investigated/evaluated the causative factors. If not please get it done.Consultation of an Endocrinologist would help you in this respect.
Once the cause is determined, & specific treatment is offered, Prolactin level falls down to normal easily.. the obstruction in normal ovulation is removed. & then conception becomes an easy process.
* Lifestyle changes-
_ have a healthy life style with balanced diet, exercises as per advise ( not to be overexercised.)/ avoid physical stress,
- Have sound sleep for 8 hours ( Yoganidra audio cassette would help )
- Try meditation ( Psychological concentration)/ Pranayam ( Respiratory exercises ) for relieving psychological stress.
- Be positive

Thus trying for baby after methodical management of High Prolactin, will definitely help you in conception.
Wish you all the best.

Hi Madam,

Thanks for your reply and suggestions. Definitely will do the required tests.With the above follicle size is there any chance for conception?

Brief Answer:
Yes conception is possible with the follicular size.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for the follow up query.
Yes, when ovulation occurs & there is unprotected sex around it, there is chance of conception. Your ovulation study is confirming ovulation- in such condition there is chance of conception.
Still, considering the spotting you had during your first USG scan last time, (accompanied by high prolactin level-) definitely suggested hormonal problem.Embryo needs good hormonal supply for it's growth after fertilization. & union of ovum & sperm)You will understand now,that just conceiving is not important,we should think of outcome.
So following the slogan Prevention is better than cure.. it's wise to assure good hormonal provision for maturity of ovum( before ovulation) & developing embryo after conception. that's why I had suggested for investigations & treating the basic cause & treat it before conception ( which is matter of few months )
So you need to be in a close observation by endocrinologist/ gynecologist & safeguard future of pregnancy.
I hope, you are satisfied with the answer. Any more information you need, I will be happy to help.
In case you are satisfied, Please grade the answer before you close the query.
Thanks.
