How To Calculate Ovulation Dates Inspite Of Having Irregular Menstruation?
Question: This is 2nd year of our marriage life and we are trying for a baby since 6 months but not successful.
We are staying in two different places (Bangalore and Kerala). Usually weekends we will be staying together.
During our general medical checkup, I had a chance to visit Gynecologist. Gynecologist did some basic checks (all normal) and suggested to stay together for 10 days between the menstruation cycles.
However, from last 3 months onwards her menstruation cycles has been changed. Initially it was 30 days and for last three months, it was 45, 32 & 34 days. Now we are facing difficulties to find Ovulation period. Could you please help on this matter?
The another problem we are facing is sperm coming out from vigina, even if we are keeping pillow under hip and laying down for some time.
Did semen analysis and it is normal.
We have not visited any Gynecologist. Could you please suggest us to the steps to taken?

Brief Answer:
Ovulation period is 14 days before next menstruation
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
It seems that your wife is having irregular periods due to stress of conceiving. I feel there is no reason to worry. There are high chances of getting pregnant (equivalent to any normal couple).
Semen does flow out of vagina after sometime. It is normal.
The 10 days you are staying together will cover any irregularity in ovulation.
Best way to predict ovulation in your case at home is to use ovulation kit (available in pharmacies). The 14 day period between ovulation and menstruation is always fixed. Therefore the period between last menstruation and ovulation may vary.
I feel it is too early for any steps to be taken.
Intimacy throughout and especially during ovulation helps most. Try this for atleast 6 more months before you go for any tests.
Hope it helps.

Thanks a lot for your reply.
Do we need to take any precautions like, avoid travelling, and avoid pineapple juice / Ice Cream? Something Like that as I have heard many from relatives.
Is there and do and don'ts and any particular food habit to follow?

Brief Answer:
Folic acid supplements
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
No specific precautions needed for travelling except to avoid bumpy roads and long travels.
In foods, avoid foods like papaya, celery seeds, methi seeds, and any other foods considered abortifacient in ayurveda. No problem with icecream. Milk may be taken too. I personally think juices are good in pregnancy.
Folic acid supplements should be taken daily if woman is trying to conceive.
Hope it helps.

I have attached the details of semen analysis, could you please help me read this?
I have few more doubts, what would be the frequency of sex, like once within 2 days or 3 days ..?
Our family doctor suggested taking Macrofolate tablet 1 per day for 2 months. Is that fine to take?

Brief Answer:
Semen analysis is normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have seen your reports. The semen analysis is normal and you can easily have a baby with this semen analysis.
The frequency of sex should be high during the period of ovulation (once every 1-2 days). It can be low at other times (once every 3-4 days).
I have not heard of this brand name macrofolate but it seems to contain folic acid which is good for baby's brain to develop. Kindly let me know the constituents of this tablet and their dose so that I am better able to help.
