Hi,
How are you doing ?
It would have been great if you had mentioned your age your age/ weight & height.
I would suggest you to go through the following check list & get the tests done if not done so far
Husband-
Semen analysis at least 2- done 4 weeks apart preferably in an
infertility center ( examination done by andrologist), Blood sugars
Wife - Blood Sugars, Thyroid profile
Ultrasound scans to evaluate Uterus , Ovaries & adnexa
Confirm tubal patency- most important- Tube is the connection
between uterus & ovaries( the bridge where sperm meets the egg &
forms a baby) this is size of hair follicle & cannot be seen on scans.
So check with HSG( Xray with dye), or SSG ( Scan with dye) or
Laparoscopy
From your history I presume you to have PCOD (
Polycystic ovaries), this is usually associated with Obesity, irregular cycles, no periods for few months & later
heavy periods with clots & fleshy masses, Thyroid abnormality &
prolactin problem indirectly.
You develop that extra-pad of fat around the mid-segment of body, especially waist, thighs & breast, no fat beyond elbow & knees. Excessive body hair growth, hair fall , dark shade over lower half of face, acne , oily face skin, black skin over back of neck, inner thighs & under surface of breast. May have a family history of Diabetes, especially father or his family.
This will not allow ovulation to occur at time & so you cannot get pregnant, till treated. It also increases your chances of early
pregnancy abortions. But this has a solution.
Just delay pregnancy for few months. Your weight has to be
Weight(in Kgs)= Height (in cms)-100
eg- If height 160cms, 160-100= 60-65 kg is expected weight.
Once you reduce weight to normal range, you won't need any medicine to get periods or to get pregnant & pregnancy will be healthy.
To reduce weight -
NO FASTING, No junk food/ fast foods/ red meat, reduce snacks in between meals
Have low calories food, high proteins
Regular exercise, aerobics , yoga, brisk walking
try to reduce 2-4 kgs / month. Don't hurry on weight reduction, it will be difficult to maintain.
As soon as you reduce atleast 5 kgs , you will see changes.
Even if you are in normal weight range , try this schedule, it will help.
Hope I have cleared your query
Do write back if any more queries
All the best
