Curtis advises, "don't jump up and certainly don't run to the bathroom or douche! So, as much as you might want to do a happy dance after you think you just made a baby, refrain—for a little bit, at least. Maybe you've always had irregular periods and worry you can't get pregnant. Or perhaps you have diabetes and want to make sure it's under control before trying for a baby. Checking in with a professional isn't neurotic or crazy—it's smart!
In certain situations, like the ones mentioned above, couples should seek out the help of a doctor or fertility consultant to formulate a bambino-making plan. That way, if it takes you a little longer to get pregnant, you'll already know how to handle things. And, if you find yourself with a positive pregnancy test sooner than you thought, you'll already be getting monitored by a doctor and acting healthfully.
As Dr. Curtis puts it, "Why take a chance with drinking alcohol, smoking, or drugs if you know it could negatively affect fertility? Nice tips, i have got my hormonal tests done along with ultrasounds and by the Grace of Allah i am healthy. But after trying for 2 months in I conceived in sept end and had a natural miscarriage in dec mid , later after trying for 6 months i conceived in start of Oct but it turned out to be ectopic pregnancy and was terminated by methotrexate double dozes in dec mid I have always had regular periods with cycle of days and for More or less 5 days but now un able to get pregnant and i am frustrated kindly guide Thanks Khadija.
Curtis' advice is completely contradictory and unhelpful. Telling a woman to "calm down, relax" and "stop trying to plan pregnancy" yet also saying she should be using ovulation prediction kits and keeping track of her cycle. That is the definition of planning.
This phrasing is also patronizing. Struggling to get pregnant month after month is inherently worrisome. Also, telling a woman not to drink while trying to conceive, but again - stop trying so hard, stop planning! I've been trying to get pregnant for 1.
I'm supposed to abstain from drinking for a year and a half for a pregnancy that might never happen? Maybe I just need to relax some more. This advice is very confusing. But also plan your life around it and track your cycles. Far from being stressful, I find knowledge empowering. Save Pin FB More. Parents Magazine. By Meredith Franco Meyers.
