What Is The Problem In Getting Pregnant?
Hi,
I am 28 yrs old Female. I have no major health problem.
I got married 3 yrs back. I have had 2 abortions, one after 6 months(in Nov 2007) and another one after another 10 more months(in Sept 2008).
I do not take any contraceptive pills. We are only going for external contraception.
Now we are planning to have a baby, and we have been off contraception since last 4 months and still we haven't got positive results.
Do you think that previous 2 abortions could have affected my fertility?
What measures do you suggest to take before getting pregnant?
Also, what all should I have to have a healthy baby whenever I become pregnant?

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Were you using contraception for all of these 8-9 years? If not you should go for investigations like-
- Excluding any infection of genital tract.& get serological tests for STDs
- Ovulation study to confirm normal ovulating cycles.
- Semen analysis to confirm normality,
- Tubal patency test.
* In case of any problem detected- take complete treatment to get rid of it.
* both of you need to be free from any illness for at least 3 months before conception. Take folic acid 5 mg daily/ Vitamin E 200 mg daily( both of you )for three months.
* try unprotected sex on your most fertile days ( around ovulation day )
* consult a gynecologist earliest after confirming pregnancy ( inform about 2 incidences )- for hormone supplement & cervical suturing as per need.
** If no conception within 1 year.. go for assisted pregnancy with help of infertility doctor,
Thanks
