question:Hello Doctor, I am 39 years old and have a 19 yo daughter. 2 months ago I had a missed miscarriage followed by a D and C. This pregnancy was my 2nd only in my life. I am wondering if you MX3 capsules are safe to take as part of my 4 month preconception plan? Do you know what benefits it could provide me with? thanks so much.

answer:Hello, and I hope I can help you today.MX3 is a supplement derived from the Mangosteen fruit, which is used as a traditional medicine in certain cultures.Unfortunately, because this supplement is not truly a drug, it is not been tested for safety or effectiveness in a conventional scientific way. Therefore, there is no way to know what its effects may be on trying to conceive and pregnancy. In addition, there is no evidence that this herbal supplement actually has any of the effects that are listed on the bottle, because supplements are not required to undergo testing in the same way as conventional drugs.Certainly, there is no evidence that this medication will be harmful to you while you are actually trying to get pregnant. So if you desire, taking MX three while you are trying to become pregnant does not seem to be harmful. However, once you conceive, I would not recommend continuing the medication.The only reliable supplementation that has been shown to increase the chance of a good pregnancy outcome is taking folic acid. Folic acid is involved in the development of the fetal brain and spinal cord, and folic acid deficiency is associated with an increased risk of neural tube defects. For that reason, women are recommended to take a folic acid supplement of at least 400 mg when trying to conceive and during pregnancy.So in summary, I would not recommend taking MX3 once you are pregnant, however taking it while you are trying to conceive is not likely to be harmful. However, there is no evidence that it will increase your chance of getting pregnant or help the health of your pregnancy. Only folic acid taken during preconception has been shown to improve pregnancy outcome.I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that this information was helpful.Best wishes,Dr. Brown

question:Hi, I started taking Microgynon about 6 weeks ago. We had sex after only 3/4 days and now I'm worried could i be pregnant? I took a 7 day gap between packs and did bleed. I keep burping all the time which is not likeme at all and have very sore breasts. Thanks.

answer:Hello, and I hope I can help you today.First of all, if you've been taking your birth control pills every day and you did have a menstrual period during the seven-day break, there is no reason to suspect that your pill is not effective in preventing pregnancy.Birth control pills can have very similar side effects to the symptoms of pregnancy in the first three months of use. These include bloating, breast tenderness, nausea, mood changes, and spotting when you're not supposed to have your period. Most women see the side effects decrease after their body gets used to the pill which takes about three months.So in your case, as long as you're taking your pills every day according to the package directions and do not have more than seven days in between packs, your chance of pregnancy is less than 1%.The most common sign of pregnancy is missing your period. So if for any reason you do not bleed during the pill free week, especially if you do not miss any pills during the month or deviate from your schedule, that would be a time where I recommend performing a pregnancy test.I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that this information was helpful.Best wishes,Dr. Brown

question:Hello doctor, I took clomid from cd 2-6 and my follicle was 19mm on cd16. I was given a trigger shot on cd16 evening and was asked to take Duphaston twice a day for 14 days starting cd17. Since I might have not ovulated yet, will taking Duphaston is ok. Can I still have the chances of getting pregnant?

answer:Hello dearI understand your concernYou have 19 mm follicle size on 16th day.You took HCG shot to induce ovulation.After taking HCG shot of you had sex then high chance of pregnancy.I would suggest to again go for USG scan to confirm about ovulation.If ovulation has not been occur then duphaston does not increase chance of pregnancy.But it correct luteal phase abnormality and regularize periodTo induce ovulation, you can also use metformin to induce periodAvoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of diet, do regular exercise and maintain weight according to BMI Hope this may help youContact further if follow up neededBest regardsDr. Sagar

question:hai my name is roja my weight is 60kg and height is 5 age is 24 yrs iam suffering from pcod from last 2 years iam taking treatment for teh same my doc asked me to visit her on 15 day and gave me hcg is this the right procedure how soon ill become pregnant and please give me any tips for the same

answer:Hi Roja ,You don't need to panic. you are in the age of high chance for pregnancy.You are slightly overweight. Your weight should be Height in cms - 100 I mean 5 ft= 152-100= 52 kgThis is reason for PCO & difficulty in pregnancy.Try to reduce the fat around mid segment of body. No fasting. Have controlled diet regularly with low calories, no junk food. Regular exercise , especially for the waist , thighs & mid segment of body. take your time . If you get pregnant with fat, chances of pregnancy complications are also high.Once you lose weight , your periods will also be regular with good flow ( normal flow) & you may get pregnant even without medications. Inj HCG is hormone which causes your follicle to rupture & egg is pushed out. Usually 13-15 day of cycle follicle will be ripe to rupture, hence doc has give you that injection.Have faith in God , you will get pregnant when right time comesAll the best Dr.Balakrishnan

question:We consulted a Gynac yesterday...she told that the egg has got released from the ovary of my wife...She suggested us to have intercourse as the egg would be alive for about 48 hours...i wanted to know what are the chances of my wife becoming pregnant??

answer:Hi , Rightly said Egg has life of around 48 hrs , but is very healthy for 24 hrs only.Sperms stay alive for 3 days , that is 72 hrs.So chances of pregnancy is high if you have sex just before ovulation & also for next 2-4 days.Sperms should reach the tube first & then wait for the egg to come into tube , where they meet & form the baby. Then baby moves & fixes in the uterus.Chances of pregnancy in normal couple is only 10 % . That's because the healthy egg may not meet the healthy sperm always. Healthy doesn't mean you have a problem. Incidentally the egg or the sperm chosen may not be good. If you are lucky , you may be in that 10 % & you get the best sperm to meet the best egg & you have a healthy lovely baby.These are somethings we cannot control.All the best , God bless youDr.Balakrishnan

question:Hi. I there a problem if me and my partern have the same bloog group? We are trying to conceive and has not yet happened, this it the thrid month. I am 30 and my husband 32, not history of medical problems. I have previously used the injection contraception, the last one was in June 10.

answer:Hello,The same blood group has no effect on conception. Don't worry regarding the same blood group. Check your both thalassemia status before conception. Try to do intercourse from 12 to 18 days of menstrual cycle as during this period ovulation occurs, so conception chance is high. (LH kit can be used for presuming ovulation.) If after 1 year you can't conceive then detailed evaluation is needed with serum progesterone, estrogen, FSH, LH estimation, HSG, serum TSH, free T4 estimation, husband semen analysis, etc., like investigations.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Parth Goswami
