Could I be pregnant?

How does Regestrone help in regularizing periods?
Irregular bleeding through the menstrual cycle occurs in large percentage in young females (different in pre- or post-menopausal women) and more frequently in the younger females due to the immaturity of the hypothalamic/pituitary axis. The ovaries and the pituitary gland “are not in sync,“ thus ovulation doesn’t occur regularly and consequently the production of unopposed estrogen produces growth in the internal lining of the uterus (Endometrium), which at a certain thickness because of the lack of oxygen at the surface causes irregular detachment and there you go another period. Regestrone has the other hormone that is not provided “Progesterone” which is given in a regular cycle basis usually 7-10 days of the cycle. Remember, this is not a cure, but the hope is that with time, the pituitary/ovarian axis mature. We must remember that the follow up in menopausal women is different. Hopefully, I answered your questions to satisfaction. Dr. I. Antonio Sanchez READ MORE
Are there any sexual positions which can ensure that I conceive?
Infertility has multiple causes, it can be due to male or female factors, but none of them are related to any sex positions. Infertility can be a very frustrating situation and sometimes very difficult to treat. My best advise is for you AND your husband to go for a gynecologic consultation. Dr Sanchez READ MORE
