Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Dear Archie,

My heartfelt gratitude to you. I am relieved to a large extent.

You rightly identified it..I am worried a lot and fear to express in words. Everytime I read about any abnormality, I inpsect myself whether I show any of those symptoms and get worried.

I did do the thyroid blood test in the last week of October 2004, almost 2 months after miscarriage. Everything was alright except for prolactin which she said is slightly on the higher side (I will come back with exact figures next time). I took medicines for the same.

As you have suggested I will go for the urine test as soon as possible. And also, to check whether my husband has latent content, what test needs to be done? (you have said antibiotic dose, but thats after some test..?)

Length of my menses for last 4 cycles is as below:
02 Sep : miscarriage
17 October: 44 days
19 Nov : 32 days
28 Dec : 38 days
01 Feb : 34 days

My periods were regular till the miscarriage and were strictly 30-33 days, most cases 30.

Thank you once more Archie.

Your husband does not have to go to take any tests. Latent stuff means some agent that is not resulting in health trouble (visible) but it may hinder quality of sperms. This is not at all compulsory thing. I only mentioned to boost chances. If you can't get antibiotics then forget this part.

About Prolactin, glad that you are taking treatments. Prolactin is causing irregularity in your cycle. Prolactin can sometime delay ovulation but your will be OK as we know the cause of irregularity and that there is some uncertainty left to understand.

Try to avoid sex for first 14 days of cycle. Start intercourse from CD14 to CD 22 once a 24 hours. Do not think of ttc process while intercourse, keep relaxed and enjoy the moment. These days will work for cycles within 32 to 40 days long.

Stop getting worried and searching symptoms in you unless there is reason to.

Good luck
Archie
