Hi,

There are not many methods by which you can increase your height if it is genetically determined( both sides of your family are short)
You are at a borderline age and you may be able to increase your height by following steps
1)have a healthy diet,including high proteins diet
2)do aerobic excercises and height building excercises
3)give good rest to your body
4)have multivitamins,including vitamin d also,they may be helpful if you are deficient
You can also visit a medical practioner and get yourself tested and you can be prescribed with drugs and hormones depending on your tests for increasing your height.
But even drugs might not help you a few years from now and since as a boy you have a litlle less height you should visit an endocrinologist and get your self tested as you will have a good effect of drugs now at this age and not later.

The folicular size on 14th day shows Right :10.6x7.6mm and Left 14.9X9.4mm My question here is how can the follicules in a day grow from 9.9x7.2mm to 14.9X9.4 mm? and are there any chances for me to concieve this time with follicules 14.9x9.4 mm on the 14th day by an HCG shot at the right time ? and taking ultrasound scans many times is of any harm ????

Doctor's Answer

Hi, Ideally if some one has a regular cycle(periods) the follicle should be mature and ready to rupture on thirteenth day,size of a mature follicle is around 20-21mm when it ruptures. It depends why metformin is given to you if the only cause is pcod and is just given for this then it would be stopped after you conceive,but if you have type 2 diabetes(insulin resistance) along with pcod then it would be continued life long. Many people achieve periods after they have their first baby. ...
