Q: I am a 31 years old woman weighing 85 kg. I was suffering from tuberculosis of the uterus and two months back, no tuberculosis showed in my PCR test. My left ovary has been damaged, so all hopes rest on the right ovary. Treatment of infertility has started. Earlier, I had 2 missed abortions and one case of dextrocardia in baby for which D and C was done. I am unable to conceive naturally, so the doctor has asked me to go for IUI. My right tube is not blocked and the semen analysis is also normal. Egg is forming well. Can I conceive?

A:First you need to lose weight till it is below 60kgs. Normal conception may have a chance then too. You need to see the last pregnancy loss date, and avoid pregnancy till you are having a rest phase of at least 6 months. Once all is done - you will need to have egg formation tested after the weight reduction, and time with coitus/IUI on the day of egg rupture to achieve best chances of pregnancy. Testing for possible thyroid and/or diabetes too needs to be done.
