What Is The Best Treatment To Get Pregnant?

Hi Doctor, Me and my husband have been trying to conceive since last 6 months. Last month we saw an Infertility Specialist for this. We got all our tests done and everything seems fine. My menstrual cycle is also regular and follows a 29 day cycle. Last month I got my period on the 7 September. We saw a doctor then, got our tests, also got Folicular monitoring and regular sonography/ultrasound done. The doctor told me I was ovulating fine. After the ovulation period, the doctor prescribed Duphaston to me (once a day for 13 days). The treatment got over on the 9th October. Today is October 12 and am 5 days late on my period. I did a urine pregnancy test today and it came back negative. My questions are: 1. Is it too early to take the urine test at home? 2. Does Duphaston generally delay the period? 3. Will going to see a doctor help? Will she be able to tell me if I have conceived or not today? I plan to see my doctor today. Is it worth it? Please help. Am desperate to be a mom!

Hallow Dear,

Let me answer your queries one by one.

1. Yes, you have done the pregnancy test on urine too early. Usually these tests are reliable 8-10 days after missed period; earlier the chances of false negative results are more. You have got another option to go for Beta hCG test which is very specific and sensitive and gives reliable results even few days before the missed period. Else you may wait for one more week and perform urine pregnancy test on overnight first morning urine sample.

2. Duphastrone is a progesterone preparation which can delay the periods. I prefer to give progesterone preparations after missing a period; after ovulation, I prefer hCG injections to support the pregnancy.

3. You may see your Gynaecologist after confirming the status of your pregnancy by one of the tests mentioned above.

If the tests reveal that you are not pregnant, please discontinue Duphastrone and you will get menses within 4-7 days.

I am sure this is useful to you and you will vote to this answer as "Helpful".
