Hello, You can definitely think of IVF but sperm washing will be required in your case. It is very helpful to understand that sperm washing will reduce the risk but is not a risk-free method as technically, the virus could still be present in the washed sample at a titer below the detection limit of the HIV assay. So consult an HIV specialist to understand the technical details, our page may help you find trustworthy & credible doctors - Hiv Treatment doctors in Mumbai. Hope our answer helps you.

Your semen test showed low sperm count and motility. That can make it hard to get pregnant. Low sperm count happens when hormones are off balance. It can also be caused by some medicines. Smoking or too much alcohol may also be why. To boost your chances of having a baby, don't smoke or drink alcohol. Eat healthy foods. You could also talk to a fertility doctor for more help.

It is important to understand that taking certain pills to avoid pregnancy can sometimes affect your fertility. However, this is not always the case, and other factors might be involved. Visit a gynecologist who can help identify the exact cause and guide you on the proper treatment for conceiving.

Mm I just did a pregnancy test one line is faded and one is dark is this test positive or negative
Female | 18
If you see one line that is dark and other one is lighter, it is usually a sign of pregnancy. That dark line indicates the test has picked up a hormone called hCG in your urine, which happens during early pregnancy. The faded line may sometimes be a result of the hormone concentration. If you still have doubts, the ideal thing to do is to take another test or visit a gynecologist for the final confirmation to convince you that you are pregnant.

Hi Sir, I have been operated for an ectopic pregnancy 4 years ago. I'm now 35 years old. My hormonal profile and my husband's sperm analysis is normal. HSG showed a fimbria end block. What options should I consider for fertility?
Have you checked the AMH level of yourself, and also the antral follicle count in Sonography?
Hsg is not the absolute report, probability of it being right is 60% since the patient is conscious and the procedure itself is painful, thus the report can falsely show positive/negative indication. The true status of the tube is better assessed by a diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy, wherein we put a telescope in your abdomen.
If in any doubt, then approach doctors from this page - Ivf doctors in India, or you can seek help from me too.

Female | 23
In most cases, a faint and dark line on a pregnancy test is used to interpret a positive result, but it should only be used as a guide. Light periods may be only one of the concerning symptoms, but one remains undiagnosed of pregnancy. The best way to be sure is to consult a gynecologist for a proper checkup.

Miscarriage signs may include a positive pregnancy test. Next, bleeding, cramps, and tissue passing could happen. Miscarriages are common occurrences. Many factors can cause them, such as genes or hormone imbalances. Speaking with a gynecologist is best for guidance and support now.

Female | 23
Your tests indicate that you have increased antibodies to rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus. Such infections cause difficulties with pregnancy such as miscarriages. Taking vaccines against these diseases may be helpful before the next attempt at conception. It is advisable to talk to a gynecologist about what to do next.

I am 4 months pregnent sir tiffa scanning cheinchali
Female | 29
You might be considering getting a TIFFA test at the beginning of the fourth month of pregnancy. At this stage, it's essential to track the baby's progress because many things, such as growth and development, are being checked. This scan can help detect any abnormalities early on. It is non-invasive and completely safe for both you and your baby. This scan provides peace of mind and allows for regular monitoring of your baby's health during pregnancy.

You're experiencing mild headaches and some strange feelings in your eyes. These could be dehydration symptoms, especially if you're drinking a lot of water while playing football. Dehydration can lead to headaches and eye strain. Make sure you're staying well-hydrated before, during, and after your game. If the symptoms continue, it's best to consult a gynecologist for further evaluation.

Female | 28
You are currently finding it hard to conceive. The most noticeable symptoms can be irregular periods, hormonal imbalance, or difficulty with the fallopian tubes or uterus. Causes are likely to be illnesses such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or endometriosis. Remedies such as fertility medicines or operations are likely to work. Be sure to speak with a fertility specialist first.

My fetus is measuring 10-11 behind lmp based gestational stage. What could be the cause?
Female | 26
If your fetus is measuring 10-11 weeks behind the expected stage, it could be due to a condition called intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Symptoms, such as a baby smaller than expected on ultrasound and reduced fetal movement, can be attributed to this condition. This is a result of, for instance, common factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, or some health conditions. Visit your gynecologist to get an opinion on this.

Iam 55 year old want to do the IVF
Male | 55
It may be hard to conceive as a typical sign. This is because fertility naturally decreases with age. IVF addresses this issue by combining an egg and sperm outside the body and then implanting the fertilized egg into the uterus. It’s advisable to consult with an IVF specialist who can help determine if this procedure is right for you.

Hello doctor I would like to know is 600 oh blood pregnant test good value ?
Female | 25
A blood test that shows a value of 600 for pregnancy is a good one. This number indicates the presence of a hormone called hCG, which is usually elevated in pregnant women. If you're sensing some symptoms such as missed periods, nausea, and fatigue, these could be signs of pregnancy.

Hello! I am very worries because I just figured out that I might be pregnant. I had intercourse three weeks ago. I drank alcohol a week ago, that was before I eveb considered the fact that I might be pregnant. I am worried now that I habe done some damage
Female | 37
It is not uncommon for a woman to drink alcohol before knowing that she is pregnant. At this very early stage, it is improbable that a minuscule amount of alcohol has caused any harm to the baby. The symptoms of damage could be a delay in the development of the baby. If you are afraid, refrain from drinking in the future and talk to a gynecologist for reassurance.

Whats the conception date if ultrasound results on 25th July 2024 showed that the baby is 30 weeks old
Male | 28
Based on the ultrasound findings on 25th July 2024, the baby is probably 30 weeks old, so the conception date was around mid-November 2023. Symptoms like fatigue, morning sickness, and missed periods usually notify about pregnancy. These symptoms are the direct effect of the hormonal changes in the body. Take care of your health during pregnancy by eating well, being active, and going to your prenatal check-ups regularly for a healthy pregnancy.

I am in my 2 week wait to see if I'm pregnant I have 3 days to go before I can take a test from my IVF but today when I wipe I have blood but only when I wipe, there is only very small traces on my pad, more blood when I wipe does this mean I'm not pregnant? Or is this a sign of implementation? I'm scared that it hasn't worked
Female | 39
It is necessary to consult with the IVF specialist who can provide a specific answer for you. Nevertheless, bright or scanty bleeding during early pregnancy may not be a medical problem and does not necessarily have a bad end.
