Brief Answer:
Medicine effects are not permanent

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) Medicine effects are not permanent. Moreover your semen analysis done recently is within normal range.

2) Sperm count more than 15 million per ml is normal . Your count of 50 or 100 million per ml. Nothing to worry.

3) You dont need to take anymore medicines.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol.

very nice to hear positive answer from your side.actually my wife 3 months back went for laproscopy for pcod problem then they found right tube blockage also. so now when egg releases from left then only chance are there to conceive . after laproscopy she met cycle 2 times first right side where her tube blocked & no chance to conceive next egg released from left & egg growth also good .regarding my count you know right we expected to conceive by this month but not able to conceive so i though of repeting medicine again because again not this month by next month if egg releases from left side then chances of conceiving will be high.what would you suggest.

Brief Answer:
Keep trying

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Chances of conceiving in each cycle is around10 percent only. Hence it is not possible to say when you can conceive.

You should keep trying same way as you were after observing egg release from left side.

You taking medicines is not necessary and is not going to make any difference.
