Nurse in the building you are doing a good job here. Sorry for what happen to you recently. In case of the person who want to calculate his wife's ovulation days. This is how we do our own. Say 15th of April, that is the day one she sees the blood. It will dry up within 3 or 5 days. Let us take 3 days for the blood to dry up. 7 days the egg matured ready for fertilization. You have another 4 days for the egg to stay alive waiting for fertilization. On the 15th day the egg is dead. From that 15th to the next 14 days if you have sex it will not result to pregnancy and next day you see the blood again.

So from 15th days of April plus 14 days = 29th April and on 30th April the egg died waiting for the next 14 days
From 1st of May,  if you like have sex at any time with her, it will not result to pregnancy until 14th May
when the woman see the blood again. This we have practised for 15 years now and no mistake. Try it.

Tanx for the explanation, but we need some clearification here. [It will dry up within 3 or 5 days. Let us take 3 days for the blood to dry up. 7 days the egg matured ready for fertilization.
/quote]

Is this 7 days begeining from the day you start the menstruation or from the day it dried up? pls, give more explanation.

Thanks alot!

The 7 day here is a step out of the first 14 days.
3 days + 7 days + 4 days = 14 days.

3 days of blood
7 days of egg maturation
4 days of sure fertilisation
total days = 14 out of 28 days
The remaining 14 days that will sum up to 28 days is what? F-R-E-E D-A-Y-S for sex that will not result to pregnancy!

Reply to twinsdaddy1 & Libra38:

That is quite good, but their is more to calculating the ovulation stages in a woman. you guys are only calculating based on a 28 day cycle, where different women, have different cycles (Especially if their cycles are irregular). Now lets get down to business for calculating. Grin

Step 1:

You should make a note of when your next period starts, and also make note when your period comes again, in the following month, then you count the days in between them, this gives you the length of your cycle. You might want to do this for more than one month, You see, this is where an irregular cycle comes into the scene, as an irregular cycle is unpredictable, you might see it one month, then not see it for a month or two.

Example:
Period starts = 1st January
Next period starts = 3rd February
Days in between (including 1st Jan but not 3rd Feb) = 33 days.

Your menstrual cycle length is 33.


Step 2:

You can use this chart as a guide, to find the right number in the cycle legnth of your period. (for example the 33 calculated above) and read across for your ovulation day and most fertile days.


Cycle length: 22 Ovulation: Day 8  Most Fertile: Days 7-9

Cycle length: 23 Ovulation: Day 9  Most Fertile: Days 8-10

Cycle length: 24 Ovulation: Day 10 Most Fertile: Days 9-11

Cycle length: 25 Ovulation: Day 11 Most Fertile: Days 10-12

Cycle length: 26 Ovulation: Day 12 Most Fertile: Days 11-13

Cycle length: 27 Ovulation: Day 13 Most Fertile: Days 12-14

Cycle length: 28 Ovulation: Day 14 Most Fertile: Days 13-15

Cycle length: 29 Ovulation: Day 15 Most Fertile: Days 14-16

Cycle length: 30 Ovulation: Day 16 Most Fertile: Days 15-17

Cycle length: 31 Ovulation: Day 17 Most Fertile: Days 16-18

Cycle length: 32 Ovulation: Day 18 Most Fertile: Days 17-19

Cycle length: 33 Ovulation: Day 19 Most Fertile: Days 18-20

Cycle length: 34 Ovulation: Day 20 Most Fertile: Days 19-21

Cycle length: 35 Ovulation: Day 21 Most Fertile: Days 20-22

Cycle length: 36 Ovulation: Day 22 Most Fertile: Days 21-23

Step 3:

Work out your ovulation and most fertile dates. From the guide:

First day of last period = 3rd February 2008
Cycle Length = 33
Ovulation (19 days later) = 22nd February 2008
Most fertile (18-20 days later) = 21st and 23rd February 2008
If you find it complicated, do let me know then I'll calculate your ovulation/fertile dates for you. Wink

Once you know your ovulation date, as a rule, you are most fertile the day before, during and the day after. Having have typed this, because sperm can survive for up to seven days in the right conditions, you could be fertile before and after these days. Also is it possible to ovulate during your period (according to research).

Hey how are you doing?
In the case of your husband, he may be experiencing premature ejaculation. For me to better understand, does this happen all the time, and if so for how long? and correct me if I'm wrong, when you mentioned erections lasting about 45 mins to 1 hr, is this when intercourse is not taking place?
Hoping to hear from you!. Smiley

Hey there!
there aren't exactly any benefits from ovarian cysts in regards to child bearing, but one may still be able to conceive, with treatment. The most common treatment used for women who are trying to conceive is fertility medications. These types of medications help the woman's ovulatory cycle become more stable and the drugs can also help address other symptoms as well.
The process may not be an easy one, but many women with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)/Ovarian cysts have been able to have a baby.

Reply to oluwawunmi:

You know, I thought I replied your question, but It seemed to have disappeared,  Undecided sorry for that, I just hope I'm not too late. Huh
Given the date of your last period, I had to try and work out your cycle (because you didn't give me other dates but this one), so I calculated your cycle for 27 days, and 28 days, and if I'm wrong, do let me know what your cycle is, so that I can correct it.

27 Day Cycle (Fertile Days)

21st May 2009 to 26th May 2009
17th Jun 2009 to 22nd Jun 2009
14th Jul 2009 to 19th Jul 2009
10th Aug 2009 to 15th Aug 2009
06th sep 2009 to 11th sep 2009
03rd Oct 2009 to 08th Oct 2009

28 Day Cycle (Fertile Days)


22nd May 2009 to 27th May 2009
19th Jun 2009 to 24th Jun 2009
17th Jul 2009 to 22nd Jul 2009
14th Aug 2009 to 19th Aug 2009
11th sep 2009 to 16th sep 2009
09th Oct 2009 to 14th Oct 2009

Candida Albicans is a yeast that lives in our intestinal tract. It is also the yeast that causes vaginal yeast infections.
To break it down, I think you had vaginal thrush, which is common in alot of women. This thrush is caused by an increase of candida albicans in the vagina.
There are a number of things which make vaginal thrush more likely, including:

-taking antibiotics, pregnancy, poorly managed diabetes,a weakened immune system

You could also be more likely to develop vaginal thrush if you:

Wear tight-fitting clothes, such as jeans or synthetic underwear, have sex with someone who has thrush, use products that might irritate the vagina, things like strong smelling soaps and vaginal deodorants, stress may also increase your chances of developing thrush.

If you have mild symptoms, your general practitioner/doctor may prescribe you a short course (one to a few days) of an antifungal medicine. Antifungal medicines can be taken in two different ways, either orally or as transvaginal treatments. transvaginal treatments are either topical creams or pessaries. A pessary is a small tablet that is inserted into the vagina (in this case what you were given), the pessary dissolves in the vagina, and is absorbed by the mucus membranes within that area. You could prevent this by wearing cotton underwear and looser-fitted clothing, using un-scented soaps to wash your pubic region, things like wiping from front to back after going to the toilet and if you undergo any antibiotic treatments, and you feel you get thrush after it, ask for vaginal treatment at the same time. I hope this helped?

Reply to go4gold107:

You truly are a great hubsband! Wink. It is great to see a man who is concerned about his wife's well being at all times.

Because she saw mild bleeding, the first important thing is to take her to a good doctor/practitioner, who can take swabs, and a blood test on her, to rule out any underlying problems.

If your wife has like a whitish discharge that is not painful, itchy, or has a foul odour, canestan would not be the right thing to use, as canestan is mainly used for thrush a yeast like, fungus infection (Candida).

Vaginal secretion is the body’s natural way to clean out and defend the vagina against infection and to provide lubrication. It is normal for there to be a little white or yellowish discharge, which may leave a light yellowish patch on underwear. A woman in her rereproductive years discharges almost about 2 grams of epithelial (surface) cells and about half a gram of mucus each day.
A number of factors will contribute to the volume of the normal discharge. These include

- The stage of the menstrual cycle,
- Hormone medication (e.g. oral cocontraceptions or hormone replacement therapy, increases vaginal discharge),
- Sexual arousal and activity,
- Some clothing.

There is an increased fluid discharge around the time of ovulation (egg release); this occurs fourteen days before the next period is due. Pregnancy is associated with an increase in vaginal discharge.

I believe your friend had a urinary tract infection (UTI), this only effects the urinary system, which consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
Pe-floxacin is one of the types of antibiotics given to treat UTI. I don't think the medication given, or a UTI could effect her fallopian tube (unless if she has a reproductive tract infection, which should be checked up). Some women have UTIs when they are pregnant, and it can safely be treated with a course of antibiotics aswel. If she feels that she has been effected by this, she can always talk to her doctor, and if she is trying to have a baby, she can try checking her ovulation dates (which is quite useful).

You see, I work; so when I do respond, it's either early in the morning when I wake up before leaving for work, during my lunch break, or when I've finished work, so you do have to excuse me if I don't give a quick response, (and in your case, I didn't see your post so I apologise for that!)
Under normal conditions; sex 3 days after your period does not normally lead to pregnancy but exception can be there (as you are taking ovulation treatment). This also depends on how long your period lasted, and when you ovulated. So, if your period lasted many days; then it is possible that you could get pregnant.

Can you answer this questions sincerely?
Are you using any contraceptive pills or injection?
Are you using IUD coil for pregnancy prevention?
What type of blood tonic are you using?
And finally, do you take this blood tonic a day or two days to the starting of your menstruation?
I will be glad to help you if you can answer truthfully.

You might want to come again with your question, because I didn't quite catch it.
When you mentioned ovulating after the first child, does this mean you have had a child before but you want to have another?, and does this also mean that if you want to have a baby again how long will the ovulation treatment take?. Also; when you mean 5.5, is that 5 months and 5 days?. Hoping to hear from you! Smiley

lol, you are two wonderful! Thanks for your time.

I will explain to you in detail.
I had my first child five and half years ago, i have tried a few times to get pregnant after this. After trying about 3 times we decided to see a gyna who said i have not been ovulating after i had the first baby. Last month he treated me for not ovulating, though he mentioned that it might take up to 3 months to correct it but i was eager to have it happen immediately as in the first month of the treatment but it didnt happen.

Thank you so much! how are you doing?
A female period can vary in both time length and blood quantity, age does not play a major significance on your period (unless if your getting into the stage of menopause). It is not unusual for a period to be larger to lesser drops for a short number of days. This condition occurs due to hormonal variations, this normally does not need treatment. However, if
you feel that this worries you alot, do visit a good gynaecologist for blood, and hormone tests. When your having these short periods, do you feel any pain?

Reply to Marymos:

Goodness me!! I had a late lunch,  Undecided (sighs), but have found a nice quiet corner outside work to respond, I'm also listening to some calm music (call me funny, but it's how I stay chilled out, especially at work, plus I have a good hour and a half lol). Grin

I would like to first and fore most congratulate you and your husband on the first steps of starting a new life together.
"Making love" is one of the beautiful sides to marriage, as God created it for the purpose to reproduce, and procreate. It's even greater because the pair of you chose to wait till the right time under the sanctity of God.
Because it is the first time, it can't be straight forward like that, because like any persons body, it responds to what it receives.
The both of you might feel lots of anxieties, especially the first time you have sexual intercourse. You may feel embarrassed about how you look without your clothes on, It's natural to feel some worries but good communication will really help to prevent you feeling embarrassed or worried. You should be able to talk to your husband about how you feel about having sex for the first time, it's better to talk about these kind of things when you have actually moved into his house, as the both of you would be more closer to each other at that time.
A good way is talking about it prior to love making and about any concerns you may have because he is the man you will be waking up to for the rest of your life. Your partner might be worried too. Being relaxed and able to be as open as possible to share things with your husband will really ease the tension. Normally tell some of my patients to talk first then act a bit later, as talking about it prior to love making can sometimes throw off some of the natural intentions the body might have built up.
First things first, we think about the setting of everything, i.e the bedroom (as it is where all this should happen), you can try setting the environment to a way you feel it would suite the both of you for example dimmed/partial light, something that would get you and your husband to feel more relaxed, hmmm sometimes, and I quote "sexy" partially revealing, or revealing under wear, or night wear can add to the setting too.
After the two of you are together, you'll sometimes find the the first response normally comes from the male, and this could start with hugging. The first steps in first time intercourse, involves alot of body exploring, "Foreplay" plays a very important role in this as it involves alot of touching and kissing. With touching, you and your husband can find your erogenous zones, which are areas of the body in both males and females, those zones have heightened sensitivity because they are packed with nerve endings, and when stimulated by touching, kissing, it would normally result in sexual arousal.
men and women have different perceptions on what makes them tick, but the main zones are the nipples, the clitoris, the mouth, the penis, your stomach (just around the naval area), but again it varies in different people, some people get highly aroused by tones of voices, or even being touched on their ear lobes.
The reason why foreplay is key to first time intercourse, is because, when your stressed or full of anxiety, this might cause vaginal dryness, and can also cause the vagina to contract, at the first touch of the penis trying to make entry (because you might be thinking of pain) and although this is normal, it can make intercourse uncomfortably sore or painful during and afterwards. Foreplay helps women to produce a natural lubrication within and around the vagina for penetration to be more easier, and also it releases a chemical in the body "Oxytocin" which helps relax the body a bit more, and creates a closer and more intimate bond during lovemaking. This whole process is to get you and your husband to get familiar with your bodies, and the more familiar you are with each others bodies, the more relaxed and comfortable you would be each time you both have intercourse. Again your husband would also be tensed a little because he would be putting you into consideration alot, trying to make sure he doesn't hurt you, he's also trying to make sure that you can trust him with your body, and at the same time making sure that he is doing things right on his part. Another important thing is finding a comfortable position for the both of you, this can also ease tension. Sometimes for the first time, you might experience a little bleeding, due to the hymen breaking, and things can get a tad bit messy. and sometimes!!, you might bleed for a few days or even the second or third time you have make love. It’s perfectly normal, and you might want to wear a pad or panty liner until the bleeding stops. Intercourse takes practice, you can't expect to have an orgasm on the first day lol, or for him to last till the next morning, as the average time for a male is 5-10 minutes and the more you do it, the better and more confident you become at finding self techniques to give yourselves pleasurable experiences. In my opinion, first time intercourse should be focused on lots of exploring before penetration.
I hope this helped, and if you have any questions you can always ask, I'd be happy to answer them.
