Q: Good Morning Dr. Please, thank God for your life and for your family’s life. Please, I saw you on Wednesday on DSTV. Please, can you tell me the medicine to take when you want to get pregnant? I am 40 years old. Thanks and God bless you.

A: Amen! Thanks for all your prayers.

What drug to take? Well, if you’re planning on getting pregnant, it’s always a great idea to start taking pre-natal vitamins especially those that contain folate (folic acid). Generally though, eat healthy: lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise at least 150 minutes per week. Be sure to check with your doctor as to what exercise that you should be involved in and how to progress if you have been sedentary for a while.

On the other hand, if your question speaks to drugs that help to induce ovulation, then you need to see a good obstetrician/gynaecologist to take your medical history and guide you through this process based on your peculiarities. It’s never a great idea to go buy ovulation inducing drugs off the shelf and start taking them with no guidance. So, please be guided.
All the best 🙂

Have a great day, y’all 🙂

Here’s to a healthier you!
