What Is The Best Treatment To Get Pregnant?

I am 24. I had a miscarriage last year in July. Since then my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant. To make my period regular, I decided to get on birth control. First Loestrin and then the Nuva Ring. Both birth controls had horrible side effects for me and my husband and decided that I get off them. I got off the Nuva Ring in June of this year. I had a period then. Skipped July and had a period August 23rd. I was experiencing pregnancy like symptoms for the last 2 months with no period. I have taken 8 home tests and they have all come back negative. So yesterday, almost at my 3 month mark of no period, my period starts and I get a few severe cramps that I subside with Motrin. I am still having heartburn, headaches and fatigue. I'm starting to lean towards a thyroid problem. Is there any advice you can offer me?

HI,
I understand your concern,
To get pregnant, its essential to have regular periods with ovulation.
-I would advise you to get examined by a gynecologist followed by investigations as per her advise. ( Blood CBC/ thyroid function tests/ USG lower abdomen to exclude or diagnose PCOD, ovarian problems, fibroid uterus/ blood sugar ) .. followed by specific treatment
- Get your husbands semen analysis done to confirm it to be normal.
- have a healthy lifestyle & diet to be in excellent health
& thereafter try for pregnancy as follows.
- Take Tablet folic acid/ vitamin E three months before planning the pregnancy.
- Avoid any health problem in these 3 months. Let Hb% be > 12 gms % .
* test for ovulation day by LH surge test .
- have unprotected sex after LH test +ve for 5-6 days regularly / at least alternate days.
* confirm pregnancy after 8 days delay in periods( by HPT) & consult doctor soon after the pregnancy test is + ve.
Wish you good luck.
Thanks.
