I've been trying to figure out what's going on. I had a miscarriage back in December 2014, and my doctor mentioned it was due to a viral infection with terms like cytomegalovirus and Rubella igG coming up, and something about HSV 12 igG too. After a TORCH profile test, my gyno told me to wait six months before trying again, but it's been eight months now, and I still can't get pregnant despite following all the doctor's instructions. I'm feeling pretty worried and wondering what steps I should take next. Any advice on what I might be missing?

Consider a follow-up appointment with your gynecologist to reassess your fertility and discuss further testing, such as ovulation tracking, semen analysis, and hormonal evaluations, to identify potential underlying causes for delayed conception; also, ask about additional blood tests to check for immunity to cytomegalovirus and other infections, and explore options like fertility supplements, lifestyle modifications, or fertility treatments like IUI or IVF.

I'm dealing with some menstrual issues and it's been bothering me. My last period was on February 11th, and now it's March and I'm late. I've been feeling some symptoms like lower abdominal pain and backache for the past five days, and I'm not usually late like this. I'm getting a bit worried since I don't have a history of late periods. What could be going on?

Homeopathy can be a supportive treatment for OCD, but its effectiveness varies from person to person. Some homeopathic remedies like Argentum nitricum, Arsenic album, and Pulsatilla are believed to help alleviate OCD symptoms. However, the recovery time with homeopathy can be lengthy, often taking several months to a few years. In your case, despite 5 years of homeopathic treatment, you didn't experience significant improvement, which is not uncommon. Allopathic treatments, such as SSRIs, can be more effective for OCD, as you've experienced. It's essential to work with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best treatment approach for your OCD.
