I am currently undergoing fertility treatment. Initially, my gynaecologist prescribed progesterone vaginal capsules to induce my period, as I have PCOD and irregular cycles. After that, she started me on Ovaa Shield from the 3rd day of my period. However, during my follicular study, there was no follicle growth even by the 17th day (the report showed SF). So, she again prescribed progesterone, and I got my period. This time, she prescribed Ovaa Shield DS. I am now on the 15th day of my cycle, but still, there is no follicular growth (still showing SF). How long will this medication continue? I am feeling very confused and stressed. I previously lost my first baby due to a heart block. I am still not getting pregnant.

PCOD can cause resistance to meds. Ovaa Shield DS is stronger but not always effective. Your doctor may consider Letrozole or gonadotropins next. Stay patient, you are on the right track.

I want to conceive. My report says both ovaries are bulky in volume with a PCO pattern, and there are multiple small follicles seen with central echogenic parenchyma. The right ovary volume is 23 ml, and the left is 13 ml. Can I get pregnant or not, and is this a serious issue?

My last period was from 3.8.2017 to 7.8.2017, and it has been more than a month without periods. I consulted a gynecologist and got a pelvic scan done. My report shows anteverted midline 7.6x3.4x2.6 cm, myometrial echoes normal, endometrial echo 7.3 mm, right ovary cystic 4.0x3.1 cm, left ovary normal. Is all good?

I naturally have a menstrual cycle of 45 days, and whenever there is a delay in my periods, I take Deviry, which usually helps me get my periods. However, this time, even after taking Deviry, my periods have not arrived. I am attaching my hormonal lab tests and blood report for reference to help diagnose my condition.
