My doctor prescribed Fertyl 50 mg, and I took it from 15th to 19th Feb, while my period started on 12th Feb. Around which date will ovulation happen, and when is the right time to take a home pregnancy test?

When ovulation induction medicines are used, timing can vary slightly from person to person, but there is a general pattern. Fertyl 50 mg is usually taken early in the cycle to help the egg grow, and ovulation typically happens about 5-10 days after the last tablet. In your case, since your period started on 12th Feb and you took the tablets from 15th to 19th Feb, ovulation is likely to occur roughly between 24th Feb and 1st March. This is the most fertile window, so having intercourse every 1-2 days during this period can improve your chances of conception. However, exact timing can vary, so your doctor may suggest a scan to confirm ovulation. For a home pregnancy test, it is best to wait at least 14 days after ovulation or until you miss your next period. Testing too early may give a false negative result. So, you can plan to test around mid-March for a more reliable result.
It has been more than 4 years since my marriage, and we have not been able to conceive yet. What is the best treatment or steps we should follow to have a child?
Vikas Singh

Trying for more than 4 years without conception is called infertility, and it is a common issue that can usually be managed with the right evaluation and treatment. It is important to understand that the cause may be related to either partner or both, such as ovulation problems, hormone imbalance, blocked tubes, sperm issues, or lifestyle factors like stress and weight. The first step is a proper evaluation for both partners. This usually includes basic blood tests, ovulation tracking, an ultrasound for the female partner, and semen analysis for the male partner. Based on the results, your doctor may suggest treatment options only if needed, such as ovulation induction, cycle monitoring, or assisted methods like IUI or IVF. The choice depends on the exact cause, so there is no single best treatment for everyone. You can also support fertility with simple lifestyle changes. Maintain a healthy weight, eat a balanced diet, avoid smoking and alcohol, and manage stress. Try to have regular intercourse around the fertile period. With timely diagnosis and the right approach, many couples can conceive successfully.
I have been trying to conceive for the past 3 months, and my cycle is 28 days. What vitamins should I take, and what is the right time in my cycle to try for pregnancy?

A regular 28-day cycle usually means ovulation happens around day 14. Trying for pregnancy between days 10 and 16 may improve your chances. Good nutrition, proper sleep, and stress control can support fertility. Avoid starting any vitamins or supplements on your own. Consult a doctor before taking anything and for personalised guidance.
