2) Since how long have you been trying to conceive ?
We were not tying to conceive, as, my Urinary Track Infection was occuring frequently. and the doctor was asked to continue 'ALEVO- 500' for six month unless I try to conceive. Then we decide to continue the Tablet for Six Months and not to conceive. But now we are thinking for conceive. But I affraid to my previous Infections history.

What precaution should we take before conceive. And what should we do if the Urinary Track Infection return. My husband was tested as nonCarrier of Thalassemia, Should I have to test thalassemia also ?


Since the infection is gone, please stop worrying about it.
You have regular cycles.

If you fail to conceive after 1 year of trying in this manner, please have the evaluation in the form of -
Semen analysis of your husband.
Follicular monitoring and hormonal tests (FSh, LH, TSH, Prolactin, AMH ) for yourself.
Start folic acid tablets.
