Hello Dr, am 33, hubby 40. We ve bn ttc for 3yrs+ now. Our last analysis show estradiol <20, Lh 6.5, fsh 5.4, amh 4.27. Also had subserous fibriod which as been laproscopically remove 4 days ago and am recovery well by God's grace. My hubby results show appearance: normal, liquefaction normal, viscosity: 2, concentration: 32, motility:5, nonmotility: 27, progression 1, total motility count 3.5×106 (volume × concept × percent motile). Dr said our best and only option is IVF due to hubby result. And will not advice any treatment for hubby result. He also advice surgery for the fibriod due the size; 10cm before we can start the ivf cycle. My questions please, do we have any other option than IVF? Also we recently purchase fertilaid supplement for for Men and women, motility boost and count, do you think is wise to take these supplements? Dr. Advice we wait 6months before starting the cycle? In short I really appreciate any advice that can improve our situation now cos am so confuse. Thanks so much for your time.

Good morning doctors in the house.
Been ttc for over 2 years.
This cycle, I took parlodel from cycle day 2-21 and also clomid from cycle day 3-7 and was bedding during the fertile window. On the night of cd 20, in the night, felt an intense pulling sensation on the right side of the pelvis for about 10 minutes. On cd 21, had a very light bloody discharge that felt like beginning of AF, from night till following day, it was still not thick blood like menstrual blood, there was bloody discharge on day 22, 23 and 24 although with no blood throughout the day but with fresh red blood at night and light brown by morning. It stopped altogether on cd 25. Did a hpt on cd 26 that gave negative. Did another one this morning cd 31 and still negative. I usually do have a 28 day cycle and btw day 25 and 29, I was having leg cramps, back pain and pain on the sides of boobs. Still no AF. What could this mean doctors?

Hi,

Do not be confused. Be encouraged.

First, your doctor knows you better and he is in the best position to advise you.

Based on the total motile sperm count and your age, IVF is advisable especially if you can afford it.

Removing the fibroid before the IVF is also in order. After that, at least 6 months should elapse before the IVF (or otherwise any attempt at conception) to enable the uterus recover well to carry the fetus.

So your doctor's advice is in order.

IVF may be your best choice, especially if you want to be proactive and can afford it. This does not imply it is the only option, so long as there are motile sperms.

Just that from experience, and being professional, IVF advice is much in order, based on the circumstances.

All the best.

Hi,

First, you should not be depressed or stressed up as this could complicate things.

Doctors generally do not regard an unwanted delay in conception of less than a year as infertility, but still, it helps to ask questions early enough.

First step in investigating a case of infertility is the man's semen analysis. Has dh done this? And how is it?

Your history is not very clear to me.

You hinted you started menstruation on 'cd' 21 thru 25.

Mesntruation marks the start of another cycle, meaning your last cycle lasted 20 days?

Hi,

Varicocele is commonly and effectively treated in Nigeria by Nigerian doctors. Surgery is the mainstay of its treatment.

Any tertiary hospital (public or private), or any hospital that has a General Surgeon or a Urologist can handle it.

The cost varies widely depending on whether private or public, location and target clients.

It is not a very major surgery. The average cost may not be up to six figures. I do not know a precise amount.

The flow throughout the 4days was so scanty, unlike my cycle.
the total flow was not up to one-fourth of my regular flow. It started with light reddish brown blood tinged with clear discharge on the first day, just stained my underwear, from night of that day through the following morning just a spot, then on the second day a few drops, same for third day, no flow during the day on the fourth day but at night it came as light reddish blood and it went from that to just brown discharge on the morning of fifth day and that was all.
All along, I was thinking maybe implantation bleeding.

Well, not likely it was implantation bleeding.

For now, consider the bleeding the start of a new cycle, and watch again.

We were once advised to have sex during her period but we can't do that cos is not allowed in my religion n culture n I don't know if this medically right or wrong(infectious wise).

The endometrial plate is the appearance of the lining of the womb on ultrasound. It can be thick or thin, depending on the time of the cycle.

Follicles are developing eggs. Sometimes you see them, sometimes you do not, depending on the time of the cycle and other variables.


Your scan will be interpreted correctly when one knows the cycle day when it was taken, as well as your cycle length.

Hi,

Like her own case, you need to have regular (at least on 3 different days of each week) unprotected, cooitus up to a year before we call it infertility. However, it helps to ask questions on time, as long as this does not translate to stress or worries.

Sperm apparently trickling down after intercourse is normal.

Medically, sex during menstruation is not forbidden. In theory, there is heightened risk of transmission of infections. But, between two uninfected couple this risk should not be there.

The reason you were told to try intercourse during her menses, I guess, is because of her irregular cycle. For example, the month when her cycle length was 18 days, her ovlation day would have been on day 4, which would have been during her period. In that case, coituss should have taken place from day 1, or the first day of mesntruation.

However, her irregular cycle lengths raise eyebrows, assuming you counted correctly. Irregular cycles are usually associated with lack of ovulation.

She may do tests (home or lab tests) to comfirm ovulation.

Good day Doc, my period is 5 days late ( expected on the 15th of july) but yet to see it. This has happened before but that was some months ago and the delay was 4 days. I and hubby were doing the withdrawal method because I wanted to wait until September to start trying for a baby. I had asthmatic attack on the 4th and 11th of july, ventolin inhaler didn't do much and I found it difficult to breathe so I took franol (2 tabs) on both occasion. On the 12th of July, I noticed slight brown discharge which I put down to onset of my period but after that day it stopped. Due to the delay I am freaking out because I suspect I might be pregnant and am scared cos of the franol I took . I want to wait until the end of the month to run a preg test. Hope the franol tabs I took would not harm my baby if am pregnant?. Sorry for the long post. Thanks.

Hello docs. Well done on the support you've given on this thread.

I will like to know why I have this heavy feeling (like a swollen sac) on the lower left abdomen. This started last December and I usually feel this after ovulation and it stops after my period shows.

However, the swollen feeling hasn't stopped even though I've had a period and I'm in CD 10 of the new cycle. I'm wondering what could be the cause.

P.S: I used bromocriptine in December when I first experienced this and I've been using it since March this year. Could that be the cause?
