Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns.

It would have been nice if you had provided me some more information like your age, BMI, duration of marriage, regularity of menstrual cycles and whether your baseline hormone assay, HSG and husband’s semen analysis are normal. If you have not done these baseline tests you need to do them first.
Do you have any autoimmune disease or any other medical problem? What infertility treatment you have taken so far? Dexona is usually prescribed along with clomiphene citrate in women with PCOD if they do not show ovulation with clomiphene alone. Dexona taken alone after day 14 is not of any help in conception.
Please discuss with your doctor why she has prescribed this. Since she knows your health better she will be in a position to explain to you.

To increase your chances of conception maintain normal BMI, quit smoking ( if you're a smoker) and have intercourse at least three to four times in a week.
Take a tablet of folic acid daily.
If you have any further concerns do contact me through Healthcare Magic.
I find this answer helpful
