Hi,I am Dr. Aniruddha Malpani (Infertility Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been trying to get pregnant for about 3 years now. It hasn't happened yet, i haven't been on both control the whole 3 years either. We got my fiance's sperm checked, everything was normal. I went to the doctor got everything checked out and she said i had follicle's around my ovaries which would make it harder for me to get pregnant. What does that mean? And what can help this problem?
Follicles around ovary means you have polycystic ovary disease(pcos). In this there will be multiple follicles which fail to mature.
It will affect the ovulation . I would suggest you to discuss with your doctor . I would suggest following treatment for pcos. Insulin sensitizer like metformin, ocp's to make cycles regular , ovulation inducing drugs if willing to conceive , weight reduction, multivitamin and avoid stress.
If you are willing for pregnancy now you can start with ovulation inducing drugs like clomephine . This will help multiple follicle to grow properly and rupture . This will increase chances of conception .
Hope I have been helpful .
Regards Dr.Deepika Patil
