@iomoge, you would have seen him before starting the vitex and hear what he will recommend.... bcp prevents ovulation and that could be why your ovaries look that why, doctors use it to treat pcos though I really don't know how it works

Toh. 'Twas a random Doctor "not a Gyna" that said I shu use the Bcp and that was September-November.
On December first, af came and waited till January 15. That's another 45 days cycle.
That's when I stumbled on vitex
Doctor "Gyna"even complained that I shouldn't have taken the birth control
For pcos I have all d signs o, this scan just confirmed it
Weight-Uncontrollable. Weight loss is not easy.
Thinning hair line
Acne - especially on my right cheeks
And can't remembering ovulating since marriage or seeing ewcm

I started seeing ewcm after Bcp and clean point.

Let me post my update maybe I would be able to ginger other old mama's here

Investigations showed patent tubes
PCOS- 6 cyst each on each ova
Myoma - growing outward from the edge of the uterus - said won't disturb
Fsh borderline - all others ok
Hubby swimmers at 64mil with 30%active

Never seen pcos or fibriods before
Was a shocker
I think the birth control scattered everything for me and gave me pcos.

I saw a traditionalist who said there was no fibriods
Checked and checked and said its not there that it's fat and gave me wat to use to melt it
I have no pain, no heavy feeling, no heavy period so I don't know where they saw fibriods
I will do a repeat scan b4 I see my Gyna though.

Brb
Battery

A traditionalists also told me at some point that I don't have Fibroids but when I told her I confirmed from different scans from different labs she asked me the number and sizes she then said they're tiny and maybe that's why she couldn't feel them. Am not trying to invalidate the traditionalists just trying to explain maybe why she didn't pick it up. My scans showed 3 Fibroids but during Myo about 13 were removed, 4 were big while others where quite tiny some Pea sizes. You can confirm with another scan. If the Fibroid is growing on the outward edge then truly it won't affect ttc. The wicked Fibroids that affect ttc are the ones inside the uterus called Submucous Fibroids. My Fibroids also gave me no 'real' Fibroid symptoms.

PCOS is not really such a big deal, can be picked up in some cycles others not. Healthy eating habits with the elimination of refined sugars helps a great deal. Drs also easily bypass it by using Ovulation boosting drugs. Since Motility is the only issue with your DH, that is easily fixed too. plus even the motile ones he has now can even get the job done. It's well. Happy Sunday.

I read somewhere that taking cofee (black) 15mins before doing the deed help the little swimmers to be more active and strengthened. You can read it up on google, likewise dh taking of pap and peak milk everyday during your fertile period. May God crown your efforts with success.

That's true. Taking Coffee or Power Horse or Red Bull about the said time boosts the swimmers activity/Motility especially the Y Swimmers. It's part of the things used for ttc for a male. When I started ttc that was before I found out I had ttc issues, I was still being selective so I joined an international web forum for people trying to conceive a particular gender. So it is part of my learning's there. Na after one year of being selective no show, no be person tell me I just begin they fire prayers for any gender

While I was in church this evening, my pastor mentioned "missionary" and my heart started wondering...... was it the missionaries that introduced missionary style to our fore fathers hence the name? Before the missionary style, what style were they using.... was it monkey in the bush? Abi na catapult style

Don't mind me o......bd on my mind Sha and I need to use our ancestors style......i suspect their style could be the reason a couple can have as much as 16 childrem without stress....can someone pls give me an idea of the style?.

Pls help a sister!

Sorry dear, I have no help on your mission for our ancestors bd style, after all me no dey dia at that time but you really cracked me up big time. You also reminded me that most times when CD is mentioned, my mind 1st goes to Cycle Day before It then remembers CD Plate and other things that have CD as their abbreviations. Ttc does things to the mind sha. Diariz God oh.

@Foe123n I sent u a pm. Hope u r doing well.


@all, hope all is going well.

I'm so ashamed to admit that I don't have gynea i'm seeing, in short, no doctor at all. My hubby doesn't want any doc to touch me (I can't just comprehend), his possessiveness is something else. Abeg, na only me get this kind husband?

My dear, don't be ashamed. but it makes me wonder how long you've ttc that he still hasn't let go. When we started ttc my hubby told me point blank that we'll need to find a hospital with a female gynae when I get pregnant for my antenatal, that he can't stand a man in the name of a Dr prodding down there or touching my b.oo.bs all in the name of running a check. Well when we started ttc and him come see say water don pass garri, he didn't mind male Drs but always insisted on being there while am being examined which none of the Dr's and lab attendants minded because of course there's always a female nurse present too. So maybe try scouting for a good female gynae around you and if you find none, try convincing him the way only you know how to as his wife to let you see a male Dr and he can come along and be present to watch all your examinations. The only test so far that my husband was not permitted in was the hsg because of the X-ray. He was even allowed in at various points during my open Myomectomy to take pics and videos. Pray and act. God will guide and help you.

Share it with us here biko...... Thanks

I don't have a problem with sharing it here directly. It is called the Egg Fast Diet. It's a lengthy description and I don't know how to copy and paste into Nairaland using my phone or upload a file. iomoge has uploaded pics before so once I send the description to her email, she can find a way to post it here. I'll also send to Beegurl who has indicated interest so either of them can share it here.

Once it's shared here, interested Mama's who have questions can ask and I'll answer and provide any needed support.

Pweetiebabe Glory be to God.

Pweetiebabe thank God for u o. The devil is a liar, Oluwa e se oo

Fvine thank u. Will surely share

lollyrekiat:
Hello **** mamas, happy Sunday, pls does Serrapeptase causes throwing up?

I don't think it does.
Take it first thin in d morning on empty stomach. And wait for 2hours b4 breakfast.
if u are doing day and night, take it as night too 2 hours after dinner.
Take it with plenty water cos it has an unpleasant smell.

Wat else are u taking? Are u mixing it with other drugs?

@oomiyale, clean point tampon is used to unblock tubes and it cleans the uterus, it's an important part for TTC for me.

EGG FAST DIET DETAILS (Copied from the Facebook Group with some editions and insertions of what I did)

*INSTRUCTIONS: READ THIS FIRST (this was created by Jimmy Moore, a 289 lb / 135.45kg man, so adjust it to suit yourself).

He called this his "egg fest" and yes we call it an egg fast because we are fasting from other food groups.

1. Must eat eggs as the primary source of fat and protein. (no meat just egg)

2. 1 tablespoon of butter (Real Butter Squares found in Supermarket Fridges) or Mayonnaise or Coconut Oil or Olive Oil to be taken per Egg consumed.

3. I must eat an egg no later than 30 minutes after waking (NOT COMPULSORY)

4. The egg meals ideally should be eaten every 3 hours, but not more than every 5 hours. (NOT COMPULSORY) Eat when you feel like it.

5. I will follow this schedule even if I'm not hungry, however I'll only have 1 egg when that happens. (NOT COMPULSORY)

6. Cheese will be permitted up to one ounce per egg. (real cheese only). (NOT ADVISABLE TO EAT CHEESES, can cause stall or weight gain in a some people)

7. A minimum of a half-dozen eggs must be consumed daily. This means 6eggs Minimum and No Maximum.

8. The eggs will be local pastured eggs loaded with healthy omega-3 fats and vitamin D. (this was his personal preference) (NOT COMPULSORY, ANY CHICKEN EGG IS FINE)

9. Egg consumption will cease three hours before bedtime. (NOT COMPULSORY, EAT IF YOU'RE HUNGRY)

10. Diet soda (Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, Diet Seven Up, LaCasera Soda, Sans Cream Soda, H2O etc) will be allowed up to 3 cans daily with a goal of 1 or less. (Don't drink this daily if you can)

*there is not a maximum amount of eggs to eat in a day however like anything just use common sense and adapt to your own needs.

11. Drink your water... 6-8 glasses a day minimum.

12. Keep up your salt and vitamins/supplements including magnesium & potassium. (I wasn't on any multivitamin when I did mine sha, so just continue with your ttc multivitamin)

** We add BPC and mayo to the list here as we are high fat low carbers here.
This may be difficult if you are not already used to eating high fat diets.

You should be fat adapted before you start. Which means you should already be following a LCHF (Low Carb, High Fat diet) long before attempting the egg fast. (NOT COMPULSORY, I jumped in from our regular 9ja eating)

Do not add vegetables or meat until you are done your fasting period. Fasting period is a minimum of 3 days. 5 days to make it worth while. You can do this for as long as 1month just like Jimmy Moore the Originator. I did mine for 10 days at each time I Egg Fasted).

Many of us are doing 5 days fasting 2 days regular LCHF.

For example, avocados and nuts have carbs. We do NOT add them in the fasting days. We do NOT use bacon fat in place of butter. Bacon has added preservatives, sugars, nitrites/nitrates etc. and it all ends up in the fat. Keep that for your regular LCHF diet but not when fasting.

Please do not be afraid to ask legitimate questions though.

Some folks drink BPC in the morning instead of eating eggs first and that's okay. It is all about what you can stomach in the morning and that's ok to adapt for yourself.

Here is Jimmy's original post:
http://www.examiner.com/…/an-eggs-tra-special-high-fat-low-

This is a link to his video of eating steak after 30 day fast losing 27 lbs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtC-E_zztEk

BPC is bullet proof coffee. You can google it. It is adding 1-2 TBS of butter and or coconut oil with or without a raw egg to your coffee in a blender. Some people choose BPT (tea). I tried the BPC with one raw egg and its so creamy yummy you won't smell of taste the Egg,won't even realise an egg was in it. I used decaff coffee sha due to ttc things.

Cream cheese pancakes: 2 eggs, 2 oz cream cheese, cinnamon and sweetener to taste. Blend in blender such as a magic bullet. Fry in coconut oil. Top with butter. I make a simple syrup by melting xylitol with butter and maple flavor.

HWC is heavy whipping cream: not a part of the egg fast
WOE is way of eating
BPC is bullet proof coffee
BPT is bullet proof tea

Facebook support group is : Egg Fast Diet - Stall = Breaker ( diet ).

I finally figured out the copy and paste. Lol. Will try figuring out Nairaland Smiley's next. I used it in one of my posts and it cut the text I quoted into 2 don't know what went wrong there.

@fvine does it mean it's only egg one will be eating for that period of fasting?

iomoge2:

Thanks much

@iomoge, it works better that way.....first thing and last thing... take it twice

Thank u mumihaj.
God bless u.

@fvine won't hungry kee me?
And is d yoke added?
How many kg can one lose in 10days?

Thanks much

oomiyale:
Pls for how long will I use it and how will I use it. Hope it won't stop or disturb conception

@oomiyale, it depends on what you are treating, it doesn't hinder conception instead it helps.....like other medications, you stop 2-3days before ovulation

Happy Sunday to you all.....

Mummyejire:
@fvine does it mean it's only egg one will be eating for that period of fasting?

Yes with the corresponding Tablespoons of Fat. I was desperate when I did mine after spending heavy loads of money on a popular weight loss product without result. I started research and discovered it. I did it 10days each time and then take a break for days eating Low Carb, High Fat, High Protein to maintain the weight lost.

I lost 14kg in 4months. I did the Egg Fast 10days each time, 3 times.

iomoge2:
Thank u mumihaj.

@fvine won't hungry kee me?

Same thing I thought but No you won't feel hungry onebit, Protein is filling. there's no maximum number of eggs just a minimum of 6. Yes the yolk is part of it and before you ask, no you won't get high cholesterol, I did a before and after lipid panel test and even had better lipid panel numbers after the Egg Fast. The medical knowledge on cholesterol as we knew it is fast changing, you can Google and read up newer researches for yourself.

I can't state the definite number of Kgs but I lost 5kg each time I did 10days and then lost 4 in the last 10days I did. I did three 10days Egg Fast and lost 14kg in 4months that I did it. Am a slow loser though, on the Facebook group people report higher loss than what I lost.

The side effects I had on the Egg Fast is something called the Keto Flu on the 2nd and 3rd day. That's where you feel flu like symptoms like you're falling ill which taking Paracetamol once a day took care of. I also had no bowel movement for a few days which taking Liquid Paraffin bought in a Pharmacy took care of, some people report diarrhea which me I don't know what can stop or if it's advisable to even stop it since its a detox and weight loss diet. If diarrhea occurs best thing might be to endure and do the fast for shorter periods like 3-5days. You're welcome always.
