Good morning house.
Please I need suggestions and advice as to what could be wrong with me.
Hubby and I have decided to go through with icsi come October after TTC for 4yrs. Doctor advised icsi cos hubby's sperm count was a bit low but with good motility.
I have worries.
I worry because each time am about to see my period, I have severe stomach cramp. I have lower abdominal pain too every other day. What I have noticed is that I have severe pains when am about to end my pee.I don't don't even know how to descripe the pain I feel but I feel it's infection. When am on my period, every part of my tummy hurts. Then I feel this sharp pain just at the middle down my lower abdomen. Not to mention that I stool and phew throughout too. My toilet is usually my best friend during this period.
The amazing thing is after seeing our fertility doctor, he recommended we start our procedure cos there is nothing wrong.
I have my fears that my babies might not stick cos there is something wrong and that thing is infection.
Now, I have taken a lot of drugs for infections. Am now confused as to what to take.
I don't want to do this procedure until am free from this cramps and pain.
Please anyone with a suggestion as to what I can do or best anti bacterial drugs to take?

He said what he will never do is to go against his patients wish.


I spoke with the doctor on asking people with male factor to do donor.he told me except the man has azosperm and refuses to do Tese (inversion or operation to get the sperm from source which he does) that is when he offers donor as an alternative.

I don't know how far this is true.

Hello fruitful mamas! Trust we r all doing gr8. Pls advise a sister who has been Ttcing for close to 5yrs.

I had an hsg 2months ago n was diagnosed of patent tubes with right perifimbrial adhesion n left hydrosalpinx.

I had a failed ivf last year n my new Gynae believed I can still have a natural conception even with the diagnosis. He placed me on antibiotics for over 2months now but theres no much improvement so far. Based on my research, ivf is the best option for me but have to cut off the tube with hydrosalpinx.

Should i keep trying or go straight to ivf.
Pls advise a sister.

Please house my husband's semen was recently analyzed and the result says he has no sperm count (i.e 0 millions) and we have been TTC for 3yrs now. A doctor (not a urologist) carried out physical examination by weighing his scrotums and dipping hands into his anus to confirm if there is a blockage. He then said that the scrotum's weight is normal and the anus track is free which indicates there is no blockage. He recommended that he undergoes hormonal profile test which he has also done but will take a month before the result is out. Meanwhile, i am believing its just a hormonal issue which means that supplements can boost sperm production. My question is:
1. Is the physical examination a true test for blockage?
2. who knows about Nisa-prime fertility centre in port harcourt. I Learjet from a friend that they have good success rate and that they are cheaper when it comes to IVF,IUI, ICSI and the likes. I want to gather the whole information i need to prepare myself if it boils down to that. Please house, anyone who has used Nisa-prime should share his/her experience. May God see us through this journey successfully. Thanks.

drkay:

I suggest you shud inform your gynecologist when next you go for your infertility clinic, he/she has your history and will definitely know better than any other person. Most of the history that'll earn you the best medical advice can't be asked on a public forum but u can go for HVS mcs, urine mcs and a pelvic scan to rule out PID, UTI, uterine fibroid and ovarian cyst. Infection must be treated in both partners if there's evidence of infection in the report.

wonyi:


Do we have Nisa prima in ph? wow....that's great! ! ! .pls what are their charges? Has DH screen for infection? I know of proxeed plus n fertile aid both are good supplements for men,but u have to pick one.
.
If u are going natural for now, consult a Urologist . There's one at Rumuomasi, heard he trained abroad n has over 20 years experience. And once it comes up , u can start with IUI or straight to ICSI. If his job doesn't take him out of town try iui, i pray u achieve result with your first trial. With 10 million sperm cells u can achieve your result otherwise icsi or Tese.

While he is taking his medication u should be seeing a gynaecologist.dont get tired.n remember to Pray n ask God to direct your steps. Be loving n Peaceful.

mommatriplets:


pls go for a 2nd opinion, dipping hands into a,nus to check for blockage??!!.. as per fertility?...never heard of such b4, weighing scrotum is ok.
look for a urologist, there are many in ph,
2ndly i think he should start taking sperm boosting supplements now, either herbal or english

fertilsan m, fertileaid, addyzoa etc...do ur research
for herbal, various agbo drinks hv been advertised, also onion and honey n guava leave therapy dey too.
u need to take charge, reseach and take the best option, above all pray.

@fruitfulvine 30, i think cutting off the left tube is the best route to go, u wud still have 1 patent tube, thus you could continue trying naturally or go the ivf route, without disadvantages

Glurssymum:


yeah! Nisa prime is now in ph. Thank you for the post. Kindly assist with the address or contact details of the urologist. Thank you as i anticipate your response.

drkay:

Since you've tried IVF and you can still afford it, going for salpingectomy & hydrotubation and then trying to conceive the natural way may be time consuming and u know, every month that u miss count! I think you should give it another try but you need to ask your gyne about factors that will increase your chances of having a successful IVF this time. Your age and that of your hubby play a major role. Eggs from younger donors have more tendency to survive compare to eggs from old donors. Some centre's are also doing better and having more positive results too.
