Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. 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. As per your history, you are off the depo shot for 1 month after the expected date of the shot.
Also, you have not used any
contraception as you are trying for the baby,
in that case I will suggest that please wait for 15 to 20 days after your date of last intercourse.
I will suggest getting morning’s first sample of urine tested for
pregnancy.
In case of doubt blood
beta HCG test and USG can be done to confirm or rule out pregnancy.
3. To my patients who are trying to get pregnant,I advise as follows-
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, vitamin B 12 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to have baby.
I hope this answer was helpful to you!
Thank you and best regards!
Dr Purushottam S Neurgaonkar
