My wife have PCOD and her periods are irregular.

This cycle after 7 days of missing periods she checked for pregnancy but it was negative.

We were then waiting for periods but it was not happening, so after 12 days we went to doctor.

She first checked for pregnancy and it was positive. She sent us for scanning , but in scanning doc said that it was not pregnancy it was because of PCOD.

Could it be possible that it was a chemical pregnancy??

Strengths 💪 required to do good in IPL

We all know how competitive ipl is. As they say any team can beat any team at any given day.

IMO following are the strengths of an ipl side according to their importance.

1. **Death** **bowling** \- absolutely non negotiable. No team can win IPL without having a brilliant death bowling.

All team who did good in ipl had great death bowling except may GT of 2022, 2023 and 2025.

IMO an ipl team should have the capability to defend 55 or 60 runs in last 5 overs irrespective of batsmen and ground.

Best team in 2026 - RCB , SRH ( they good in Hyderabad but they struggle out of Hyderabad, because SRH bowlers mainly rely on cutters and slowerones , and for these to be successful you need dry and pitch devoid of grass )

Worst teams - RR , GT

2. **Powerplay** **bowling** \- very very important. If you can't take wickets upfront most often than not you will concede in excess of 220. Which is a non achivebale target 8 out of 10 times.

Best teams - GT , RCB

worst teams - PBKS , KKR

3. **Powerplay** **batting**\- I think middle order is not that important in t20 compare to ODI and tests.

Here bulk of the scoring has to be done by top 3 with 200 strike rate.

So explosive openers are must in ipl. Team which have this commodity have done good except may be GT.

Best teams - SRH , RR

Worst - LSG except last few matches CSK , KKR

4. **Middle** **overs** **spin** **bashers** or **enforcers** \- earlier middle orders used to do anchoring but it's not the case anymore. You look at some one like RAJAT Patidar , dewald brewis , riyan parag , Klassen they all look to enforce the pace.

No more anchoring. You can not afford to play defensively even in middle overs now a days.

best teams - SRH , RCB , PBKS

Worst - MI , RR , DC

**5.finishers** \- imo finishers importance have diminished in today's t20 . But still finishers must have some skills like ramp shot, moving around crease like Ashutosh Sharma.

Because if you play still than you would be bomarded with yorkers and wide yorkers.

Or you should posses power like Klassen farerra and tim david.

Best teams - DC , RR , SRH

Worst - GT ,

So I had posted earlier in this sub, I basically have problem of rapid Progressive motility which very low.

Recently we underwent our first IUI ( wife having PCOD )

which turned out to be unsuccessful.

I was going through my semen processing report for IUI but not able to full understand it.

Abstinence- 1 day (36 hours)

Viscocity- increased ( in almost every report Viscocity is. Increased)

Volume - 0.8 ml ( due to very less Abstinence)

Sperm count - 15 m/ml

Motile count ( only rapid & moderate progressively motile) - 100 m/ml

Volume taken for processing- 0.8 ml

Method of processing- density gradient

Media used - GM501

total motile sperms taken for processing- 17 millions

Resuspended Volume of media - 0.5 ml

Total yield. - 8.5 millions ( they mention that it should be above 8 million )

From above report as far as I am able to understand it looks fine. But certain points are bit confusing , like how come total sperm count is 15 millions but total motile sperms taken for processing is 17 millions ?

Also why motile count is mentioned as 100 m/ml ?

And also what is total yield?

If anyone can explain this report to me , it will be great help. Since we have been advised IUI and then IVF.

We are not able to finance ivf as of now.

Hi all , we are M33 F30 couple having Mild MFI and Severe PCOS respectively.

We have TTC for 2.5 years as of now. Not able to conceive. Our clinic is suggesting for IUI and IVF.

This month we are doing IUI but as we all know how low chances are there with IUI. So we are preparing for IVF financially and physically.

meanwhile we are both doing what we can do best. Taking supplements and doing exercise etc.

We are based in Belgavi. Can anyone have any guidance regarding IVF in Belgavi. If any one can recommend IVF clinic to us, it will be a great help.

M32 . No smoking and drinking since 3 years.

Grade 1 left vericocele

LH - 4.5

FSH - 3.0

TESTOSTERONE - 425

TSH - 6.7 - Taking medicine for it.

HsCRP - was historically high 8-9 range means high systemic inflammation

Now around 3.

Following are my SA results over the months.

Wife is 30 having PCOD.

OCT 2025 ---- IVF Lab A --- were undergoing treatment at this IVF clinic at that time.

Abstinence- 2 Day

Volume - 1.5 ml

Count - 24 M/ml

Progressive motility - 2%

Non - Progressive motility- 20%

Morphology- 1 %

This clinic A suggested IVF/ICSI straight away.

We moved to a different clinic B. They started usual supplements along with healthy diet.

After 3 months of supplements

6 FEB 2026 ---- IVF LAB B

Abstinence- 4 days

Volume - 2 ml

Count - 13 M/ml

Progressive motility - 0 %

Non - Progressive motility- 20%

Morphology- 3 %

This time they added clomid 25 mg per day along with supplements.

Since my sperm count was on declining trend I was worried. To keep track of my sperm count, I went to a IVF LAB C just for SA.

Following are the results.

24 FEB 2026 ---- IVF LAB C

Abstinence- 3 days

Volume- 1.8 ml

Count - 7.9 M / ml

Progressive motility- 43%

Non Progressive motility- 11%

Morphology- 6%

3 APR 2026. ------ IVF LAB C

Abstinence- 3 days

Volume - 2.2 ml

Count - 31 M/ml

Progressive motility - 48%

Non Progressive motility- 7%

Morphology- 5 %

My usual clinic where we both are getting treated. Did a SA after 3.5 months of clomid along with supplements.

SA result.

23 MAY 2026 - ----- IVF LAB B

Abstinence - 3 days

Volume- 1 ml ----- I highly doubt this. Since I have done multiple SAs and I know the Volume which can also be seen through container markings.

I think this LAB deliberately reported Volume as 1 ml. Which was atleast 2 ml..

Count - 20 M/ml

Progressive motility- 0%

Non Progressive motility- 20%

Morphology- 2%

Now my clinic B is suggesting ICSI/IVF.

I showed them the reports of clinic C , But they are not taking those reports in consideration.

While getting treated by clinic B , I was also in touch with independent fertility urologist. After seeing all my reports he suggested me to continue the supplements for atleast 6 months.

1 thing which was abnormal almost every time was - high viscosity.
Pls suggest how can I lower the viscosity.

I am confused now. How to proceed.
