Get an USG done urgently

I was pregnant in January. I was feeling all symptoms of being pregnant. When I was undergone SCG test, It was negative. Even my blood report also shows absence of HCG. As I am feeling pregnancy symptoms, I continued to do HCG tests for 3 .5months. During this tenure, I had almost no monthly periods.(only sometimes spots seen). I consulted Gynaecologist for this problems. I had undergone sonography test two times. It was showing some blood clots. Doctor suggested to do Anti Mullerian hormone test for uneven/ stopped period for long time. He also gave tablets for period which was consumed by me and I had period for four days in first week of April. AMH test showed worrying result. It was showing value- 0.7. A lower normal range is 0.7 to .0.9. Doctor suggested to complete three month course of OVARUS (75mg) tables. Is there any worries about lower AMH ? What is the reason for this problem? I have thyroid problem and I am taking Eltroxine 100mg since last 7 years.

Hello Anu. Slight curve is natural if you don't have pain during sex. Welcome to 1mg. There are several pills cream and pump are marketed you can choose anyone but none of them are proved to be 100%. Personally I suggest you that you try those things but don't depend on or also don't get disappointed. Size of penis has no role in organ of female. Orgasm of female depends on your foreplay and smart act and attachments. So be confident and stop worry about small penis size. If your penis is more that 5 inch erect then it is sufficient. Stop smoking, reduce belly fat, shave pubic hair, take antioxidant, exercise pelvic floor,take multivitamins containing ginseng and arginine.Here I mentioned some of herbal pills choice is yours: opti-men multivitamin etc
