Brief Answer:
Increased chances of conception

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Follicle reaching a size of 17*19 mm is a dominant follicle, ready to get ruptured and release the ovum.
Usually, 5000 IU of hCG injection is given to assist follicular rupture so as to have timed intercourse in next 24-48 hours to increase the chances of conception.Follicle usually ruptures after36-37 hours of the hCG injection.
Please do confirm whether LH or hCG injection was given.
On day ultrasound, the follicle is seen ruptured as it was ruptured after hCG injection. It indicates that the ovum was successfully released and chances of conception are there.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Brief Answer:
Appropriate treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX Duphaston is given to make the uterine environment more favorable for conception.
Folsafe is folic acid which is known to reduce the risk of congenital anomalies in the fetus and is recommended preconceptionally.
Calcimax is calcium, no specific role in conception.
Wish you both all the best.

Brief Answer:
Withdrawal bleeding

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear. this is likely to be the withdrawal bleeding after stopping the progesterone (Duphastone). This is highly indicative of the fact that the pregnancy has not occurred.
However, she should get a urine pregnancy test to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
Intrauterine insemination

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, the reports are not uploaded, so please upload them so that I can review them.
If the UPT is negative, then you can go for ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination (IUI) as the next step in order to achieve pregnancy. In my opinion, you should go for IUI because of the advanced age of both of you and hence the decreased rate of spontaneous conception at this age.
However, before going for IUI, she should get a hysterosalpingography (HSG) done to assess the patency of the fallopian tube, which is must for the success of IUI.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further query.

The reports are uploaded there in my reports folder.
Does normal follicle devlopment & lining thickness increse from 8th day to 15 the day not sufficient to confirm potency of the follopin tubes?
Is there any other simple test for the same other than HSG or laproscopy like a specific USG etc? Are there any medicines to remove blocks without doing the tests?

Brief Answer:
Sonosalpingography

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, good morning.
The reports are still not uploaded in your reports folder. Please click on the upload reports tab and upload the reports.
Normal follicle development is a sign of normal ovarian functioning, while endometrial thickness is suggestive of normal uterine function, but both of them do not give any information about the tubal patency.
Apart from HSG and laparoscopy, tubal patency can also be checked by a specialized ultrasound technique called "sonosalpingography".
No, there are no medicines available to correct tubal block. Even surgery is not recommended nowdays. In bilateral tubal block IVF is advised for conception.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further query.

The reports are seen from my side. Can you please check up?
Our Dr is asking us to directly go for IVF or natural IVF. What is driving this? My wife could not take the HSG due to pain & we have not done Laproscopy for its risks so far. This is proving to be the only test remaining & possibly the most crucial. Why do tubes get blocked?
doctor
Answered by Dr. Deepti Verma (5 hours later)
Brief Answer:
Tubal patency should be checked

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, the reports are still not seen in my window. I will suggest you to communicate with the customer care support of the health care magic regarding this issue, or you can type and send me the reports, if feasible.
HSG , laparoscopy or sonosalpingography are required to check the tubal patency.
IVF cannot be advised unless the result of tubal patency are known.
Fallopian tubes can get blocked due to various reasons like pelvic infection, adhesions due to previous surgery, endometriosis and tuberculosis.
It is a investigation protocol in infertility patient to check for tubal patency and then decide that whether to go for IUI or IVF. No decision can be taken prior to that.
During HSG, pain is there, but it is usually reduced by giving analgesics and antispasmodics.
I will strongly suggest her to go for one of the tubal patency test before moving on to the next level of treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further query.
Regards
Dr Deepti Verma
