Hi
Hello Doctor
I have a problem
sure, please proceed
We are planning for parenthood
And I am having irregular periods
May i know how long have u been trying ?
Scan report says: IMPRESSION: Slighly larger ovaries and probably polycystic
ok
Last April
since then I am having irregular period
so it has been about 8 months or so
how long have u had such irregular periods ? have u always had them ?
Doctor said not to wait until the period becomes regular
no
From April only it started
before that it was regular
were u on any medications ?
Last month doctor prescribed to take tablets(Siphene) from D2-D6 and then D7 and D8 Injection (GMH 75 IU)
But never seen any Large follicles in any scan
sorry injection was on D7 and D9
i am bit worried about this
when was the last scan done , before this one ?
in december i did
when i got master checkup done at Columnbia Asia
ok
But that time in d scan they had never mention anything about PCO
PCOD is a major condition, that can cause issues with fertility
can u mention your weight and height please
wt is 61Kg
ht is 5 ft 3 inches
i do walk for arond 1 hr a day
and wont eat outside food
your BMI is normal, so weight should not be a issue ,
being overweight can cause such issues, and weight loss is the first step to fix such condition ,
okay
but in your case, it is not that needed
okay
did ur doctor know about PCOS beofre ordering the injections and medications ?
PCO wasn't detected in external scan
When i went for XXXXXXX scan TVS for detection of ovulation that time PCO's were suggested
AND this was done in december, is this right ?
scan report says both ovaries are slightly larger in size with multiple smaller follicles
no in XXXXXXX
Scan also says no free mass / no free fluid found
do u have irregular bleeding and excess bleeding during your periods ?
bleeding in normal
but period is irregular
and how many days do u get your period , you can give me a average
Last month i took primolut N to get the period
average 1.5 to 2 months
you mean 45 days to 60 days ?
upto last march it was very regular.
from april it become irregular
yes
first and foremost, you will need a prescription of medications , to help ur periods become regular again
ok
the presence of such irregular periods indicate , that your cycles are anovulatory , which mean, no egg is released
hence there will be no chance of pregnancy
Doctor said if i want to get my period regular. Then i cant concieve
Thats why she is giving medication for ovulation.
in that case, has any tests been done to check, if you are ovulating ?
yes
scanning is done
have they confirmed which days, ovulation occurs ?
medication for ovulation started last month
ovulation never occured even after the medication as no large follicle found
ok, in that case, at least 2-3 cycles have to go , so that the drugs can act
oh ok..
with time, once ovulation can be predicted, your doctor will advice to have sex, in a timed manner
I also wants to knw
and this will result in conception
whether these drugs can cause any harm to me
i.e., Siphene / Fertile Super / GMH 75 IU
siphene is a safe drug , used to induce ovulation
okay
how abt other two?
THEY ARE also safe
okay..
GMH is a hormone, to induce ovulation
yes
So I can continue with this for 3 cycles and see the result
yes, that is right
?
ok
thanks..
wanted to know whether i am in right path
I understand
You are very welcome
Thanks a lot doctor
bye
bye for now
At last do u have any suggestions for me?
as such, continue the treatment, for 2-3 months
okay..
if they are not helping, then you will need treatment to first regularise your periods
okay
and then try for conception , normally
yep
okay..sure
thanks for help
bye then
You are welcome
good luck
Thank you
