Congrats on the bfps.
Pls where can I get letrozole to buy. Finding it difficult to get in the pharmacies I have tried.
Thanks

From what I've read, ask of Femara, thats the brand name. Also, check big pharmacies around in your city. Good luck and baby dust

@mummykyrti...sorry about the catarrh. the harmattan must have caused it. However, you may be blowing too hard hence the blood. Try and get some rest. You would be fine soon.

Lets all thank God for the bfps we registered and will still register before the end of 2016. God has been merciful to us Sisters....I am so full of joy at this moment and just want to thank God. His words will surely come to pass in our lives. Our desire for children may tarry but we will not be denied the blessings that God promised us.

Sisters, lets keep the faith and hope alive. We must all testify through Christ Jesus.Amen.

Greetings Everyone and compliments of the season. A lot of catching up to do. Great testimonies and numerous mini-additions (babies) come 2017. Let's continue to encourage each other.

Congratulations to omowunminow,God be praised...

What a miracle working God. Twins!!!!!!!! God is great. Congratulations omowunminow.

For egg Health:
Black Cohosh (Day 1-10)
Maca
COQ10
Royal Jelly
Soy isoflavones (maybe substituted with soya beans). Start day 3 for 5 days
Wild Yam (this promotes twins). Also heard Cassanovum supports twins. i will say, just eat fufu and garri. That is the staple which makes twins rampant in Nigeria. We even enter research because of this.
Eat Greens

Since eggs take 3 months to produce, any herbs should be used for 3 months to produce high quality eggs.

Thanks for this info ma.Pls is there a supplement that has black cohosh(I don't know what that is) and COq10? Wow Omowunminow congratttts ma'am !!Twins...A healthy pregnancy for you amen

The name of the herbal supplement is black cohosh. I just got it from mumihaja. I also saw it at Medplus at ICM yesterday.

*New this cycle: Black Cohosh CD 1-12 120 mg. Again used Oona Brand (yellow box for menopause), has 60 mg Black Cohosh, took 2/day. Also has small amt of Vitex in it as well 30 mg. Definitely had more progesterone/better/higher BBT charts with the Black Cohosh. First month I tried got a triphasic chart, next time I tried it (a few months later) BFP! See below study on Black Cohosh:

Black cohosh from days 1 to 12 improved pregnancy rate by 170%, boosts progesterone
Patients with unexplained infertility and recurrent clomiphene citrate induction failure, were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups received clomiphene citrate 150 mg per day (days 3 to 7). Group I received additional oral phytoestrogen (Cimicifuga racemosa - black cohosh) 120 mg/day from days 1 to 12. There was a non-significant shortening of induction cycles in group I. Oestradiol and LH concentrations were higher in group I compared with group II. Endometrial thickness, serum progesterone and clinical pregnancy rate were significantly higher in group I (8.9 versus 7.5; 13.3 ng/ml versus 9.3 ng/ml; 36.7% versus 13.6%, respectively). It is concluded that adding Cimicifuga racemosa rhizome dry extract to clomiphene citrate induction can improve the pregnancy rate and cycle outcomes in these couples.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18413068

I wasn’t on Clomid, (OB wouldn’t give me) but Vitex is like a very mild natural clomid, so I used above mentioned one.

Used an OTC Natural Progesterone Cream (Natpro is most concentrated OTC, has 2,000mg/tube, Pro-Gest only 450) 1/2 tsp 2x/day (= 160 mg progesterone had spotting/short LP) It's also not greasy at all and I was using a lot, so appreciated that.

I tried to eat healthy, but I didn’t eat all organic or vegetarian. Switched to organic milk/eggs though. Had 2 hard boiled eggs every day (excellent protein for building our own), had a powdered greens drink at least 4x/wk, tried daily, but forgot sometimes (my DD called it Fertility Barf!) I like one by Trader Joes, not too terrible. I basically ate a Zone type diet, but with more fat than allowed. Added avocados, virgin coconut oil for cooking. I don’t count calories. Used tofu as protein substitute, maybe once or twice/week. It increased EWCM if I ate it a couple days before O, but there is controversy over it being helpful or harmful. Randine Lewis advises it for Kidney Yin deficency, so I included it. No processed soy protein isolate though. Drank Grapefruit juice/ 1st half of cycle, as well as a small (maybe 1/3 cup, as 8 oz, has 700% DV for vit.A) carrot juice, all month, hubby too.

Another thing I did different was NO exercise this month. Since TTC I really got into exercising again, 3-4 times a week at least pretty high intensity. Later read in Randine Lewis’s book about how too much exercise depletes Yin (estrogen) and I think that was definitely happening. In fact I probably would have conceived sooner if I wasn’t so hardcore with the aerobic workouts. (I did this after reading some ladies post that they got their BFP after exercising DAILY, and that was what they did differently, but one lady in particular had PCOS, so maybe they had excess hormones which at my age I def, did not have) I also read about exercise neg affecting implantation, so at least maybe stopping after O would have been wiser. I read in Inconceivable about Julia Indichova jumping rope, and I had a rebounder so I did that every day to O. but month of my BFP. I didn’t work out at all.

Something I DID do to increase blood flow to pelvic region was to use heating pad on lower belly. I used it on High though some say low, and really heated up ovaries before bed. Sometimes I fell asleep and woke up sweaty, so time would vary, but usually 1/2 hr... Stopped once we DTD, so as not to cook DH spermies or a developing embie! Also had an orgasm daily. And no, at my age, didn’t always feel like it, but forced myself, thank you Hitachi magic wand. Hey, couldn’t afford acupuncture!

Had less sex this month too, only day before O, day of O, skipped one day then one more time. Used Preseed as well, but used this all TTC. Usually we start sooner, when CBFM goes to High, usually CD 9 for me. This month began later, CD 12. O’d CD 13. After we DTD, made myself O and slept all night w/sperm inside.

One more thing. This month, had ZERO caffeine around implantation time, (the week after O). After that I just had a few sips of coffee or green tea, didn’t finish my mug, just enough to get me going a little. I’m not a big caffeine drinker, but always had 1 cup of green tea or coffee. . Read that caffeine can slow muscle contractions in fallopian tubes transporting egg, and made myself do without. Had hot lemon water instead. Also ate core of one pineapple cut up, over course of 5 days.

That’s all I can think of for now, I’m REALLY tired, but today I am 7 weeks and praying I will go to term with a healthy LO.

PS Things I tried that had no effect or negative effect for me:

Myo-inositol I do NOT have PCOS, made my periods very light/short (= no lining) increased/more night sweats

Maca (1st it has to be gelatinized), but it seemed to dry up my EWCM the longer I was on it, Initially had opposite effect, increased CM, but after 2 mos. I was not getting much noticable EWCM. I lowered dose and was only taking ¼ tsp gelatinized powder at time of BFP. It did work wonders for DH sperm quantity though! He used Maca capsules with DIM in them.

Soy Isoflavones (these actually messed up my cycle)

@Godanswerprayer
LH/ FSH ratio =2:1 ie d amt of LH hormone is twice that of FSH hormone( not good sign).
Progestrone amt is so low & it's even below d normal range while prolactin amt is higher than d standard range.
From my understanding of d female physiology; LH/FSH ratio is 1:1 approximately, PG is normally low on cd3 cos u must have restarted a new cycle now but in urs; d conc is quite lower than d standard.
Same with prolactin that is higher than its standard.
U r already treatingurself 4 high prolactin(that's gud) but u need to do something urgently Abt LH/FSH ratio.
When u balance this ratio; PG concentration will normalise.; how
Cos FSH is responsible 4 lst half of ur cycle & LH d latter half. SO IF A FEMALE DOSENT OVULATE; LH conc will continue 2 increase; with d aim of promoting ovulation. ....
Future possible tests; I will advise u conduct a fasting blood sugar test; TVS mid cycle & PG assay on CD21.
These tests will help in pinpointing d actual cause of d imbalance hormonal profile.
As d injection; my dear alwaz ask questions when in doubt. Progestin injection is an inject given 2 provide u with progesterone hormone esp if urs is quite low. I personally don't believe in treating symptoms of an ailment instead; find d root cause of d ailment; then treat it. So I won't advise on d injections..

@ all
I will be M.I.A 4 some days. Travelling 2 dh villa 4 new yr & I can't predict d village network.
So happy new yr all & I know in my heart God has crowned all our numerous efforts with MULTIPLE PREGNANCIES .

HISTORY
Had evacuation in 2014 due to miscarriage, they had to evacuate twice due to incomplete evacuation. Which affected my period, my normal flow was 4-5 days but after the scenario reduce to 1 day or 1 1/2 days na so the problem started. Ran hormonal profile and Hsg in 2015 Al came out fine. Still looking for solution since then fast forward to this year I had to change my gynea around April. I explained everything to me, he didn't even let me finish before he said it is Adhesion. I was like it was not in the hsg result, he said from my history that the possible cause of adhesion. Okay sir he said he will place me on corrective measure which is IUD for 3 months. I cried a TTC mother put on family planning, but I put everything in God' s hand.Fast forward to July he removed it and asked me go and get pregnant just like that, I said okay sir.

@ogunbekun emi re yen ooo

WIDD
Aug - no show, but I watched this Redeemed Program at home with gen. I listened to Pastor Adeboye with faith, he asked us to make some vow which I did. And when he got to stage he said we should name our children with faith which I did with faith. I named my Twins o.

Sept - no show.

Oct - no show, but my husband bought some GLND supplement which we started using. Again there is a someone that said something about bitter leaf I started that one mid cycle together with the Vitex given to me by @ 4realwoman. Also a frnd invited me to a church program as a Muslim, omo I attended o, this same month my Mother's younger sister brought olive oil and water from their convention said the pastor vowed abt it, I used join, my niece brought something from the Alfa I used. Later in the month while praying I remembered the vow I made Aug which I'm yet to fulfill, I prayed for forgiveness and I fulfill my vow same month. I also ran another Hormonal Profile and HSG to make sure everything is in order and the result came out fine.

Nov - the main month AF showed and flowed heavily for just two days which I was very happy about.started bitter leaf therapy, vitex, vitamin e and Triple Omega cd1 to Cd8, started that thing with le bobo from cd8 to CD 14. Also started eating fufu with okra as said by one mama, that it increases chance of multiple birth.Starting from CD 15 I decided not to wear pant and not to take bike again. During this cycle I decided to go on 3 days fasting, day 1 after break, I bought biscuit for all the children in my hood. Day 2 I invited this girl that was fond of me, after prayer, I dished out food we ate in the same plate and the same cup and I was praying while eating to God that I want my children too eat with me. Day 3 - brought out all my wedding gift that has to do with baby stuff, prayed over it, mother I cried and prayed.Fulfill my vow for that month, while taking it to where I normally take it I was crying, I told God to fulfil his promise cos I have fulfilled mine.

DEC - BFP.

Sorry for the lengthy story.

God in his infinite mercy will wipe ur tears, grants everyone BFP.

Mothers by the special grace of Almighty u will all port en Mass to Pregnancy thread.

Amen to all ur prayers.
