Suggest Remedy For Getting Pregnant
Hello Doctor,
I am 31 years old male and my wife will turn 30 this november. We are planning a family since 5 months with no luck so far. My wife and I are both quite healthy, however I do indulge in smoking and drinking on a regular basis.
My question to you is that
1. should we continue our efforts right now or shall we personally visit a doctor ?
2. what frequency should we attain so as make sure of a conception
Your answers will be highly appreciated.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion you should get a semen analysis and your wife should have USG scan for ovulation study to check for normality before planning for pregnancy.
Usually ovulation is 14 days prior to expected date of periods. You can calculate it or can check it by LH surge test at home.
Unprotected sex 2 days before on the day and 2 days after the calculated ovulation day or from the day LH surge test is positive for 5 days (daily once) is desired for good chances of conception.
If there is no positive result with 3 to 5 months of such attempt then you should consult a gynecologist for full investigations and specific treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
