Hello doctors, greetings. I am a 38 year old unmarried female. I am planning to marry next year. I am 5.3 in height with a weight of 49 kg. My periods are normal with a cycle of 28 to 32 days and a flow of 4 to 5 days. I am not diabetic, nor do I have any thyroid issues or cysts. My KFT is normal. How difficult could it be for me to conceive after marriage as I am 38 years old? My mom had her menopause at the age of 42. I am really worried. Your input would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

At 38, fertility naturally decreases, but many women conceive successfully with healthy cycles and lifestyle. Since your periods are regular and you are healthy, chances are reasonable. It is advisable to try for pregnancy within the first 6 to 12 months after marriage. You can book an AMH (Anti Mullerian Hormone) test to assess your egg reserve before planning. Maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress to support fertility.

Hello doctor, it has been 4 years since my marriage. Still no child. My menstrual cycle is correct for four months, but gets extended in the fifth month for more than 10 to 15 days. I tested my reports and everything came normal. I have also taken treatment for period cycle. I need suggestions for getting a baby?

Hi doctor, I have done my S.AMH test, and my result is 1.22. Is this normal to get pregnant? The doctor also suggested taking CoQ10 tablets. Can you please tell me if this is a normal report?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am unable to conceive because ovulation (egg rupture) is not happening. Are HSG test and hormonal tests mandatory in this case? Will these test reports show the reason why I am not able to conceive?
