Do Pregnacare And Norlut Help In Conceiving?

Hi Dr. I have been trying to have a baby over a year now and failed because of the contraceptives I had taken in the past. I went to a fertility doctor and was prescribed pregnacare for fifteen days and on the fifth day of my next cycle, I had to start taking norlut. Does this drug also help in conception? I just read that it delays the periods and is also used as a contraceptive. am really worried.

Hi,
I appreciate your concerns.
Which contraception were you using? Depo shot (Depo provera) causes delay in the return of fertility but other contraceptives do not affect your fertility
Pregnacare contains multivitamins and multimineral suppliments. If a woman has deficiency of these vital nutrients it may affect her fertility. So this tablet is prescribed with the presumption that it may improve the chances of pregnancy. It does not have a central role in increasing the chances of pregnancy.

Norlut contains a type of progesterone. It is used to regularize or delay your periods. It does not help in conception.
What is your BMI? Are your periods regular?
It is important that you and your husband should see gynecologist and do baseline infertility work up ( hormone test and fallopian tube patency test for you and semen analysis for your husband). Based on the results of investigations treatment can be planned.
Take one tablet of folic acid daily.

To increase your chances of conception maintain normal BMI, quit smoking ( if you're a smoker) and have intercourse at least three times in a week.

If you have any further concerns do contact me through Healthcare Magic.
