Brief Answer:
Symptoms common, not to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'm, thanks for trusting health care magic.
These symptoms appear around the date of expected periods and not all women have these symptoms either.
In about 10-15% of women there are no such symptoms.
Hectic schedule has no such bad impact if it is a sitting or simple walking type job but in the second half of your menstrual cycle avoid heavy work or jumping and jolting activities.
You can try following measures to enhance the chances of conception -
1) try to keep a pillow beneath your buttocks after sex so that gravitational force keeps the semen inside vagina for a longer time.
2) you should not get up for at least 20-25 minutes
3) try conventional position of sex female lying down on bed
4) maximum chances of conception are in day 10-18 of the cycle in case you have regular cycles.
I hope these measures will help you in conception in near future.
I basically practice infertility so in case you have any questions in future I will be glad to help
Regards
Dr Manisha

Brief Answer:
Weight reduction is must
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX it is a common concern among patients that semen oozes out of vagina after intercourse but nothing to worry as it is fine and common with no much effect on conception if your partner has normal semen parameters.
As far as weight is concerned you are definitely overweight and this needs special care in the form of daily exercise and diet.
Consult a good dietician and get a diet plan and follow it meticulously along with daily exercise routine.
Instead of jogging do brisk walking on treadmill at 4km/hr speed and some more yoga asans.
You can continue with your job as before ad your work is within normal walk needed.
Also get your routine hormone tests and semen analysis of your husband so as to correct it if needed.
All the best.

Thanks XXXXXXX . As a precautionary measure we did analysed my husbands siemen and all reports are normal.
Regarding weight , is it like that unless i reduce weight wont b able to conceive? Also my dr said reduction in abdomen is must as i have tendency to gain weight in abdominal region. Does having abdominal fat affects chances of conception?

Brief Answer:
obesity decreases chances of conception
Detailed Answer:
Yes your doctor is absolutely right that stomach, butt and thigh fat are the areas of bad fat and causes excess estrogen levels in body and thus impairs conception.
But it is not a dictum that you will not conceive till you lose weight, you might take longer waiting period in case you fail to lose some kilos.
So in general loss of weight will help you to conceive earlier and also decrease the chance of complications during pregnancy so will be a win win situation for you.
I wish you best of luck and will.

Hello XXXXXXX . Again thanks.. one last doubt... Any medication available to control excess levels of estrogen?
Brief Answer:
Right dose and time of progesterone supplement
Detailed Answer:
There is no method to control excess of estrogen except weight reduction and right dosage and timing of progesterone as once progesterone rises in body at right time, estrogen levels come to a desired baseline immediately.
