Patient's question:
I had one round of unprotected sex with my husband in 2013 and another in 2014. In 2015, I took one dose of Yuting emergency contraception. After that, we have always used contraception. Currently, my husband and I have not used any contraception for 8 months, but we have not become pregnant. All the female hormone tests are normal, and the male semen analysis is normal.Doctor's answer:
Hello! The best way to monitor follicles is through a transvaginal ultrasound, as it can accurately determine whether you are ovulating. If your menstrual cycle is regular and you don’t want to have an ultrasound, you can measure your basal body temperature (specific methods can be found online). Starting from the 11th day of your period, have intercourse every other day until your temperature rises. If you haven’t become pregnant after two cycles, it is recommended to undergo a fallopian tube (this must be done within 3-7 days after your period ends, with no sexual intercourse, and normal cervical mucus). If your temperature chart shows a monophasic pattern, it suggests you are not ovulating, and you may consider ovulation induction. If your fallopian tubes are blocked, further treatment will depend on the specific situation, such as interventional therapy, laparoscopic surgery, or in vitro fertilization. Wishing you good luck!When seeking medical treatment, it is essential to go to a reputable hospital. Some hospitals I know of include: Hebei Medical University Third Hospital, Chengde Medical College Affiliated Hospital, and Qinhuangdao Second Hospital.
