Hi XXXXXXX,

Thanks for posting your query.

Your enthusiasm for getting pregnant can be felt through your words.

You are having PCOD,in this condition multiple cysts are formed in the ovary and not rupturing.This leads to failure of ovulation and so that you can not conceive.

After treatment as you have taken, this becomes normal and you start ovulating.After that there are bright chances of you becoming pregnant.

The tablets given to you ,Ova care is said to help to increase fertility.Folic acid is given to prevent birth defects in the new born,so it is recommended to all the women who are planning pregnancy.

You had your periods on 6th July,until you miss your periods you can not go for pregnancy test.

Breast, urine changes can be seen in pregnant and non pregnant state too.

Please wait till you miss your periods.You should have intercourse on 12th to 16th day of your periods to increase chances of pregnancy.Please remain in touch with your doctor and take medicines as advised.

Wishing you all the best for getting pregnant.

I hope this answers your query,I will be available for follow up.

Hi XXXXXXX

Good to hear from you again.

I advise you to be patient, till date medical science is yet to progress to the level that it can diagnose pregnancy even before you miss period. First indication will be positive pregnancy test that detects the hormone in urine which is produced by products of conception. You can get a faster result by Beta HCG blood test but it is not the first and perfect test.

You have been asked to wait till 6th August as you will complete a month by then.

You can continue your routine as per your wish, no special precautions are needed. You do not need to make any special efforts, just as advised keep relation with your partner in the middle of the cycle.

Please keep clam and have faith in god,you will conceive and have baby. The symptoms of pregnancy start as the hormones increase in the blood. So it is unlikely you will show up symptoms now or till you miss the periods.

Wishing you best of luck,

Regards
