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.

Hello Doctor, I am 18 years old. I did not get my period until the age of 16. At that time, a doctor prescribed some medication to help start my periods. After taking the tablets, I got my period only once, and then it stopped again. However, for the past two months, I have been getting my period 3 to 4 times a month. It stops for just 2 to 3 days and then starts again. My recent blood report shows that my prolactin levels are high. Please help me understand what might be causing this and what treatment I may need?

Today was my day 6. I had a baseline follicular study. The report mentions that the right ovary has 18 follicles and the left ovary has 15 follicles. The largest follicle in the right ovary is 15 mm. It also mentions a nabothian cyst at the cervix. What does this mean. Is it PCOD or PCOS or is my report normal?
