Dr. Dahiya:
Eighteen to 24 months we try to advise, please don’t go and conceive. It could be hazardous to the child. You do need more nutrition and so forth. After that, your chance of having any abnormality and all that are just the same as you would have been otherwise, and that’s why the advice is given that for the first 18 to 24 months, please use contraceptive for the sake of the baby so that you can lower the chances of the abnormality.
And sex drive–it also is half mental. So if you are depressed all the time, that’s not going to work either. So it takes sort of the depression also at the same time, along with the hormones. So all of that is a wonderful positive impact.
