Brief Answer:
Duoluton-L is not advisable while trying to conceive.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments :

1) DUOLUTON-L is a combined oral contraceptive pill containing Levonorgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol and used for the prevention of pregnancy & regularization of period.

2) Full fertility regains within 3 months after discontinuing combined pill. I suggest to upload your recent ultrasound scan report to comment further.

3) While you are trying to conceive, you should NOT take combined pill and start unprotected sex during your ovulation time for at least 6 months.

Ovulation occurs approx 14 days before next due date in regular cycle. Ovulation prediction kit (OPK) is quite helpful in context to predict ovulation and you shall prepare for that day for unprotected sexual intercourse.

4) For period regularization, progesterone supplement and ovulation induction drug (Clomiphene citrate etc) may be required.

If with the above procedure, you fail to conceive, then you may need some initial investigation to narrow down the possibilities. These include:

1) Fresh semen analysis for husband
2) Ultrasound pelvis to check reproductive organs grossly.
3) Hystero salpingography (HSG)-for tubal patency test.
4) Hormonal test-thyroid profile, LH/FSH, Oestrogen & progesterone level.
5) For ovulation- Day 21 progesterone level assay or serial ultrasound on day 12-16 for follicle measurement.
6) For cervical factor- Post coital test & anti sperm antibody test.
7) Blood sugar (PPBS) etc.

A proper clinical examination and with the help of above investigation, we can reach to a definite diagnosis. So please consult with your gynecologist regarding this for proper guideline & suggestive measures.


Wish your good health and take care yourself.
