I'm currently pregnant and have been using Practin syrup occasionally, like once or twice a month, just to help me sleep better when I'm having a hard time. I'm generally healthy and don't take any other meds. Should I be worried about any risks of using Practin during pregnancy? Just wondering if it's safe or if I should be looking for alternatives.

I had my HSG test on the 6th of August, and thankfully, the results were normal. My gynecologist suggested that I try to conceive naturally this cycle, but if it doesn't happen, then we should consider doing a follicular study next cycle. I'm wondering if there's a good chance I could conceive this cycle. Right now, I'm on day 9, and in my previous ovulatory follicular study cycles, I've typically ovulated on day 12 or 13. So I'm a bit unsure about when my husband and I should try. Would meeting on day 11, 12, or 13 be ideal?

Day 10 to 15 of your cycle would help in your concern
