Patient: Description of the condition (onset, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): Trying to get pregnant on three months of herbal medicine so far. At the *** doctor. Six tests, to another doctor, said it was luteal deficiency. Today I overlooked your page. Against your point of view are normal now. High temperature for 12 days. When I didn’t take herbs, my period was sometimes a few days late. Now that I’ve taken it, I’m late by 9 days in July. 31 days in August. This month it is late again. Does it matter if I went out for a week on the 26th of last month? Today is the 26th day of my period and I’m still not hot. This Chinese medicine is to eat or not to eat. How to eat. Thank you, Dr. Gao. Doctor: If your period is delayed for 7-10 days or less and you are ovulating, you don’t need to see a doctor (follicle check, basal body temperature, blood test for luteal function 5-7 days after the temperature rises), but it’s better to regulate if you are preparing to get pregnant. “Today is the 26th day of menstruation and no high temperature yet.” Menstruation is affected by emotions, environment, sleep and many other factors, it doesn’t matter if it is delayed once in a while or if you don’t ovulate. Chinese medicine continues to be taken well. Patient: Dr. Gao, thank you very much for your reply in your busy schedule. I will follow your advice and continue to take the medicine. You know, your correct advice is not just advice for the patient. It is hope. Thank you. Patient: When the high temperature is 5-7 days, I will come to you for a luteal test. Does a high temperature of 12 to 14 days indicate ovulation? Dr. Gao. Doctor: Basically yes, except for one condition “luteinization of unruptured follicles (LUFS)”, so the combination of follicle monitoring is the most accurate. Patient: Dr. Gao, when should I do follicle monitoring during my period and how many times should I do it? It’s really difficult to get to work at the right time. How long does it take to line up for follicle monitoring at your hospital in general. Are there any symptoms of unruptured follicle luteinization (LUFS). Doctor: People with a 28 day menstrual cycle usually start monitoring on day 12-13 of their period, ovulation on day 14-15, and usually 2-3 ultrasounds until the follicle is large and expels successfully. For those who have delayed menstruation, it is more difficult to find the ovulation date. I usually suggest to use ovulation test paper to monitor first, and then do ultrasound when there is a weak positive feeling and clear lasso white band and other near-ovulation manifestations. At present, our ultrasound system is by appointment only (the number of staff at work is low on both days, so the examination will be done on the same day), so patients who need it can come to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Gynecology in advance to make an appointment (our department also has an appointment system for registration, you can make an appointment online or at the hospital self-service machine within 7 days in advance).
