Getting Pregnant Question
Posted: 01-01-06 20:37pm

My husband and I have been seriously trying to have a baby for 10 months now. I went to my gyn and he told me my uterus is slightly tilted forwarded, but that this should not prohibit me for having a baby. My periods are very regular. We have be trying the basal therometer, my temperature peaks to 98 degrees around the 12,-13 day after my period. We also follow the ovulation calendar for the past 4 months and still nothing. Both of us are healthy and have multiple brothers and sisters. I feel nauseous all the time, but I just got my period on December 27 it last 2 days. I was really upset. Is there anything else we should be doing?

Yes, you can start by checking your husband's sperm count. Your husband can request a sperm analyses (spermogram) from his doctor. If the number and percentage (%) of living spermatozoids is within the norm, you can rule our the possibility of low sperm count. Then, YOU can be examined by your gynecologist. This requires a vaginal ULTRASOUND examination to detect disorders of the uterus (tumors, malformations…) and the ovaries (lack of ovulation, PCOS…). Several hormonal investigations are then administered during your cycle (estrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH, prolactine, tiroxin)can help clarify and administer all these diagnostic procedures
