Hi,
Thanks for asking. I understand your concern.
You had proper advise for ovulation & sex after that, also Tab. susten following the ovulation. .. because conception is possible up to 3 days after ovulation & Tablet Susten , a hormone pill helps conception & implantation of fetus in uterus.With this management you have bright chances of conception provided the semen & act of intercourse is normal.
* You can confirm pregnancy by
- Blood HCG testing around your expected date of menses. Early diagnosis helps to maintain drug regime & facilitate continuation of pregnancy..specially in assisted conception like yours.
- Home pregnancy test turns + ve after 8 days delay in periods.
- USG confirmation of pregnancy is by 5 weeks of pregnancy.
* As you had ovulation this time,in case you are not pregnant, period would be withinin 2 weeks of ovulation.
* IN case of getting periods, you should go for regular treatment for PCOD & then plan for pregnancy.
I find this answer helpful
