Is It Possible To Delay The Period And Ovulation To Conceive?

Hello, my husband and I are trying to conceive, but he works away alot and so correct timing of intercourse is essential. Unfortunately, the next time I will see him will be in August however, I have worded out my menstrual cycle and the 3 weeks we will be spendgin together misses out my fertile window by a week!!! I was wondering if I took norethhisterone now to delay my next period, would it then in turn delay the follwing cycle and therefore push my fertile window a week later in august when my husband returns? If not is there any other option?

Thank you

Hello,

You are advised to get your husbands seminal examination and few other tests done. Any problem diagnosed can be taken care of and treated while he is away. Also, get connected to a gynecologist, get all your blood tests and imaging tests done so that any pathology detected can be treated before your husband returns. This will not result in a waste of time.

Get infertility treatment for both partners done so that when your husband comes your ovulation timing and menstruation cycle can be regulated accordingly. You can try to conceive naturally if the sperm count is normal and there is no fallopian tube block. In case problem / pathology is detected, both the partners will be given conservative treatment & if required you may be recommended surgery or suggested to get done IVF, etc.

At present, both the partners should maintain healthy weight. Avoid smoking, do not take alcohol or recreational drugs, etc. Take a homemade balanced diet, rich in minerals and proteins. Keep your menstrual cycle regulated and regular. Take uterine tonic and food rich in iron.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
