Brief Answer:
Positive signs for possibility naturally.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

Your FSH levels are normal for your age. I presume your doctor had also done antral count and thus is convinced of the abundance of follicles. This is a positive sign. If you have also had tubal patency test cleared, you can go for natural conception trial for 3-4 months. I will be able to comment better if you can furnish me the details of any other relevant investigations done.

Please ensure that you have regular intercourse at least on alternate days during the fertile days, i.e., the days around your ovulation time. Additional benefit may be had by following certain precautions after the intercourse-like-not washing the soft parts with strong solutions, lying down flat if you have an anteverted uterus or on your belly if you have a retroverted uterus for at least 30 minutes after the act to ensure that the sperms ascend better.

If only after all these procedures, you fail to conceive after 3-4 months, should you seek further help. If your doctor feels that ovulation needs to be enhanced, you may be given ovulation enhancing medication under proper surveillance.

Please do not worry, as I see very good base for good outcome in your case. Think positively as the state of mind can affect ovulation and its outcome.

Hope I have clarified your query. Please feel free to contact for any more information. I will be happy to help.

regards,

Brief Answer:
Detailed below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing back.

It is good that your husband has cut down on smoking, but please try to see that he stops smoking and drinking altogether. Not only are these deleterious to health, they can damage the semen counts badly. It is good if he can also get a proper examination and a semen analysis before any further treatment is planned.

Being overweight can to some extent, affect the chances of conception by influencing the hormonal balance of the body. Please see that you maintain a BMI between 19-25 and do some regular exercise.

Apart from these, you do not seem to have any other adverse factor for natural conception. Though you are older, you are not too old to conceive. Innumerable number conceive at your age. It is true though, that assistance may be needed often at late ages of maternity.

Pregnancy cannot occur anytime of the month. For fertilization to happen, you need to ovulate and this happens only once during the mid-cycle. Therefore, this is the fertile period when conception can occur.

Hope your doubts have been clarified. Please contact if you need any more information. I will be ready to help.

Brief Answer:
Suspicious of polycystic ovaries.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing again.

Your sonogram report is suggestive of the possibility of polycystic ovaries owing to the presence of multiple follicles in the ovaries, high ovarian volumes and comparatively thin endometrium in the supposed to be late secretory phase of the menstrual cycle. In this scenario, I would suggest further investigation comprising of a complete hormonal profile, serum DHEAS levels, antral count, AMH levels, glucose tolerance test, serum prolactin and also tubal patency.

If PCOD is diagnosed, treatment can be initiated on that levels and please remember, it is a well treatable condition with good result. Please see an infertility expert for further assessment.

Hope I have answered your query. Please contact if you need any more information. I will be happy to help.
