Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have been using contraception ever since I had a miscarriage before. Now, after not using contraception for over a year, I haven't gotten pregnant. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, everything was normal. Why is that?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to start using ovulation test strips on the 8th to 13th day of your menstrual cycle to detect ovulation and check if it is normal. Then, have intercourse. After intercourse, elevate your hips to prevent semen leakage. This can increase the chances of conception. Excessive anxiety and tension are also factors that are not conducive to pregnancy.If you have had normal sexual activity for two years without contraception and have not become pregnant, you may consider the possibility of infertility. It is recommended that you and your partner go to the hospital for a comprehensive and systematic examination. Both partners should abstain from sex for three to five days. The man should have a semen analysis, while the woman should have tests for six sex hormones, ovarian function, and immunological tests, among others. This will help identify the cause of infertility and allow for targeted treatment. Wishing you good health.
