Hi there
I have carefully gone through your query, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1.First of all do not panic.
2. Please get 3 basic things checked beforehand.
- HSG , hysterosalpingography to know about patency of the tubes. With your history of STD this is very important.
- Semen analysis to know about quantity and quality of sperms.
-USG- , in your case you have already have normal reports.
3. In a woman with regular cycles, day 10 to 20 of the cycle is the most fertile period of the cycle. If you have unprotected sex in this period then you stand chance to get pregnant.
If needed get follicle study done between day 10 to 20 of the cycle to know about the day of egg formation.
4.I will suggest indulging in a healthy diet and regular exercise regime.
Include plenty of fruits, salads, vegetables in the diet.
Have adequate water intake; say 8 – 10 glasses per day.
Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products, and refined sugars.
Avoid substance abuse, if any.
Start on FOLIC ACID, B12 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to have baby.
I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
