An ultrasound report check is always a great and thrilling moment. Frequently seen in the images are the size of your baby and his or her growth and development.

Dear Sir, I trust this message finds you well. I am writing to seek further advice or guidance regarding a matter that has been concerning my wife and me deeply. Since our marriage in April 2024, we have encountered challenges in conceiving a child. Following consultations with a gynecologist, my wife underwent various tests, all of which returned normal results. However, based on the recommendation of the gynecologist, I underwent a semen analysis test. The results indicated a total sperm count of 45 million, falling below the normal range of 60 to 150 million. Additionally, the motility percentage was recorded at 0%, significantly lower than the normal range of greater than 25%. In search of a solution, I sought advice from two different medical professionals, both of whom prescribed distinct medications and treatments. The first doctor recommended a daily intake of one tablet each of YTIG and CQ10 (100gm). Conversely, the second doctor advised me to consume 10 drops of two different oils, Agnus castus and Damiana, with water twice a day. For your reference, I am a 34-year-old male, measuring 5 feet 11 inches in height and weighing 94 kilograms. Despite diligently adhering to the prescribed treatments, my wife has not yet conceived. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate any further advice or guidance you may offer on this matter. Thank you sincerely for your attention and assistance. Warm regards, Habib Bughio

Female | 25

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.

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.

I had my last period on 23 rd October and after I met my husband on November 9 th after I come to know on December 2 nd that I’m pregnant …the sonography shows I’m 6 weeks pregnant but actually I’m 4 weeks pregnant:.how

Female | 29

The inequality of weeks usually comes from variations in ovulation and conception dates. By and large, health professionals calculate the duration of pregnancy from your last menstrual period which could sometimes cause confusion. The most common symptoms are feeling tired, difficulty in swallowing, and your breasts are aching. You have to get all the nutrients from a proper diet, drink plenty of water, and reduce stress. Regular prenatal check-ups are necessary to ensure you and the baby are healthy. Kindly speak to your ob/gyn for personal advising and reassurance.

sperm concentration is 22 million per ml total motility 33 % progressive motility 30% live sperm 48% normal morphology 15% now pls check

Male | 28

Your sperm analysis shows a concentration of 22 million per ml, which is within the normal range, but total and progressive motility are slightly lower than ideal. While 48% live sperm and 15% normal morphology are acceptable, it's advisable to consult a urologist or fertility specialist for a detailed assessment and personalized advice. They can guide you on potential next steps to improve your fertility.
