Dr. Suman Rao
Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Consult a physician for this
I have been married for three years from now,but we have planned for a baby for last 3-4 months .But I am not conceiving.my periods were normal.what could be the problem.Kindly help me,and visited one gynecologist,she suggested rovamycin forte for 14 days.i have completed the course but still having pain.
Dr. Megha Gupta
Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Rovamycin is an antiviral medicine and will not help you conceive. Any normal healthy couple can take upto 9-12 months to conceive. It is not an instant thing and will not conceive as soon as you think you want to conceive. Have patience dear. If you are healthy with normal regular periods and your husband too is healthy you should conceive soon. I suggest you wait for another 6 months before going for any investigations or treatments.
