You're most fertile at the time of ovulation (when an egg is released from your ovaries), which usually occurs 12 to 14 days before your next period starts. This is the time of the month when you're most likely to get pregnant. It's unlikely that you'll get pregnant just after your period, although it can happen.

Question

My wife had an IUI on the 20th and 21st of August, and it's been about 15 days now, but she hasn't noticed any major pregnancy signs. The only thing is she's feeling a bit dizzy in the afternoons. Could you let us know when pregnancy symptoms usually start? We're just a bit anxious.

Question

I've been having this white, thick vaginal discharge, and sometimes it looks like cottage cheese. It's been really itchy, and my clitoris hurts a lot. I've been dealing with this for about five months now. Even though I've taken medication, nothing seems to work. What could be causing this, and how can I actually get rid of it?

Question

I'm really worried about my wife's scan; it was supposed to show a heartbeat at eight weeks, but there was nothing. We've already been through a miscarriage in 2019 and tried IUI and IVF in 2020 without success, along with fibroid removal surgery last December. She got pregnant naturally this time, but now there's no heartbeat. The report says the gestational sac has regular margins and a large yolk sac, but the fetal pole is there with no cardiac activity. It mentions a mean sac measurement around 19.73 and biometry CRL at 7.8 mm, with a single intrauterine nonviable gestation estimated at 6 weeks 5 days, and multiple uterine fibroids. I'm really anxious about whether there's any hope or if this is a miscarriage. Could you help us understand the situation better?
