Question 1

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. My last menstrual period was on May 10, and I started Clomid on May 16, following my gynecologist's advice. I have hypothyroidism with TSH at 2.74, normal T3 and T4 levels, but my anti-TPO is quite high at 500. My period is now over 70 days late. A urine pregnancy test was negative on the 55th day, and the ultrasound showed 5 cysts on my ovaries. My gynecologist then prescribed Meprate 10mg. But today, I took another urine pregnancy test, and it came out positive.

I'm confused because I've only had contact with my husband on July 8 and in May. Could this be a pregnancy? If so, what should I do next? When should I actually see my gynecologist again? And is there any risk to my pregnancy if Ive been on Meprate? Could you please guide me?

Here are some evidence-based ways to increase sperm count:

*Lifestyle Changes*

1. *Maintain a healthy weight*: Excess weight can lead to hormonal imbalances, affecting sperm count.
2. *Exercise regularly*: Regular exercise can improve sperm quality and count.
3. *Reduce stress*: High stress levels can negatively impact sperm count. Practice stress-reducing techniques like yoga or meditation.
4. *Get enough sleep*: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night to help regulate hormones and sperm production.

*Dietary Changes*

1. *Eat foods rich in antioxidants*: Foods high in antioxidants, such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts, can help protect sperm from damage.
2. *Include zinc-rich foods*: Zinc is essential for sperm production. Include zinc-rich foods like oysters, beef, and chicken in your diet.
3. *Increase omega-3 intake*: Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish, nuts, and seeds, can help improve sperm quality.

*Supplements*

1. *Vitamin D*: Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to low sperm count. Consider taking a vitamin D supplement after consulting with your doctor.
2. *Zinc supplements*: If you're not getting enough zinc from your diet, consider taking a zinc supplement.
3. *Folic acid*: Folic acid can help improve sperm quality and count.

*Avoid*

1. *Smoking*: Smoking can significantly reduce sperm count and quality.
2. *Excessive alcohol consumption*: Limit your alcohol intake to moderate levels (1-2 drinks per day).
3. *Tight clothing*: Wearing tight clothing can increase scrotal temperature, potentially harming sperm production.
