Question 1

can bacteria vaginosis make conception difficult? i have been trying to conceive for some time now. i do have cysts, very small however.

Accepted Answer

Bacterial vaginosis: may have some affect on conception, but it's relatively minor.  It may adversely affect the sperms' motility &amp; survivability &amp; may impede their ability to get where they need to go.  In any case, it should be treated ideally b4 you get pregnant.  Best wishes.  Dr. Anne.

Question 2

is it safe to use hydrogen peroxide to help with chronic bacterial vaginosis while trying to concieve?

Accepted Answer

Please don't: Hydrogen peroxide will damage vaginal tissues, please don't use it. If you have chronic BV you really need a doctor's help with prescription medication to clear it. If you are already doing that, GO BACK to the doctor for the next step, you'll really hurt yourself with the H2O2. Good wishes.

Question 3

i tend to get bacterial vaginosis alot and  trying to concieve, i had a miscarriage 2 months ago, what can i do to prevent the bv from causing mc?

Accepted Answer

Keeping it clear: When you first notice a vaginal odor of an impending bacterial vaginitis episode, go see your MD for Rx and if necessary prophylactic antibiotics.

Question 4

having a d&c back in february can that affect me conceiving ?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: A D&amp;C shouldn't affect your ability to conceive.  Since the procedure was done in February your body has had plenty of time to heal and recover.  Best wishes!

Question 5

will the antibiotic i'm taking (cotrimoxazole) affect me conceiving?

Accepted Answer

Not the best idea: This drug is also known as Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim). I would wait to try to conceive until after you are done with this antibiotic. Please talk to your doctor about all your medications before you try to get pregnant, including over the counter and herbal medications.

Question 6

i am 38 years old with a amh of .81.  no problem conceiving 1st child at 34 and 2nd at 36.  miscarriage at 35 & 37.  likelihood of natural conception?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: The amh level is a good predictor of how you will respond to fertility drugs and perhaps your chances of getting pregnant with treatment as well. It is not very good at predicting spontaneous pregnancy. A low level suggests waiting is not a good idea though.

Question 7

if i have folic acid one month before conception is there any possibility of conceiving twins or triplets?pls help.

Accepted Answer

Not related: Folic acid is helpful in preventing spinal cord or neural tube abnormalities in the baby. It is possibly related to prevention of cleft palate formation also. It is unrelated to multiple pregnancies.

Question 8

my due date is nov 23 and conceiving date is march 2nd. what would have been the sexual intercourse window that would have led to my conception date ? and how long does conception take ? is it 2-3 days after intercourse?

Accepted Answer

: An egg is fertilized within a day or so of a fruitful intercourse. It takes about 10 days for the embryo to plan itself. It takes about three weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. It depend on what your view of conception is.

Question 9

will tylenol (acetaminophen) negatively affect chances of conception? (have lower back pain due to old injury, but fearful of harming chances of conceiving).

Accepted Answer

No,tylenol (acetaminophen) will: not affect chances of conception.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Middle of July: The first day of your last menstrual period would've been july 1 and with 28 to 32 days cycles you would have conceived between july 14 to july 17.
