@ marami

I'm a gynecologist, nuff said I don't think it is appropriate for me to comment on a condition suffered by a male patient.

@ud4u

Did you mean 07/31 or 08/31?

kathyekiti:

@ud4u

Did you mean 07/31 or 08/31?

Thanks Dr. I mean 08/31

Doc, you are doing a great job, keep it up. Please i need you to assist determine my ovulation period, i recently got married and have been TTC for about 5 months now. I run 24/26 cycle, recently it has changed to 23/ 27 days. Thanks for your prompt response.

Hello doc.Pls can a woman get pregnant in her mc?

@udu4u
The length between your cycles is abnormally long. The normal length should be betweeen 21-35 days. I suggest you visit your gyn

@aak
Theoretically yes, if the person has a short cycle and a long period. i.e. a person with a 21 day cycle who bleeds for seven days

Quote from Doc. "The length between your cycles is abnormally long.  The normal length should be betweeen 21-35 days.  I suggest you visit your gyn"

Thanks Dr for your response, My july menses came on 4th and August came on 31, that is 28 days. Does it mean 28 days cycle is abnormal?.

Thanks once more as I await your response.

@ud4u

If the first day of your menses was july4th and the next period was August 31st, that is not a 28 day cycle. This would be 58 days between the cycles.

Sorry Doctor, I have been the one making mistake all these while.
I saw my menses August 4th, and another one came August 31st, Pls I want you to predict the ovulation days for me.

Thanks once again for your patience, God will reward you abundantly.

Hi dr kathy,

hope you still remenber me? the lady with iregular periods. ve bin taking DUOFEM as the combined oral contraceptive you talked about and nothing yet, i even had to take a PT (strips) which read nagative at least to be double sure. the last time i saw my period was early July.

i should continue with the drug or would you like to suggest any other thing?

thanks for allowing us bother you. thanks. i await your reply.

doc abeg, an urgent reply needed,

i just got an iucd inserted, was told of some effects i might notice,
but like a week after, i noticed some outbreaks on my skin ( inner thighs), papules that ripen and rupture

i was wondering wat cld av caused it til i remembered d stuff,
cos i havent changed cream,soap or anyother thing,am stil lactating,not yet resumed menses

pls, cld this b caused by the insertion?
if so, wil it b a one off thing? what can i use? or wil it go on its own

@ud4u
Assuming you continue with a 27day cycle, you will ovulate around 9/13, 10/10 and 11/6. Your ovulation date is approximately 14 days prior to your menses

@gsawlah

I would suggest you see your gyn. Who prescribed the pill?

@wanita

No, I don't think it is related to the iuc. I would suggest you go see your md.

Madam KATHYEKITI,eku ise wa oo,Oluwa yio tubo ma fun yin ni ogbon,imo ato oye ooo.KO NI TO NIBE OO NO ORUKE JESU

Yes,to my quetion

Pls my wife is 12 wks pregnant,what re the precautions we need to take at he the end of this first trimester.what do we need to do and not to do.Pls are you sure sex will not hurt our baby.I can decide to stay without sex till we deliver, if it is going to hurt either my wife or our baby,pls i realy wanna know.

@ gasplant

thanx for the kudos. As for the pregnancy, ori re ni kon la ma ri l'oruko Jesu, amen.
Sex is not going to hurt. If you are really concerned about it, wait two more weeks to really get into the second trimester. Your wife should continue the prenatal vitamins, avoid fatty fish and continue to see her ob for her scheduled visits. Always remember pregnancy is not pathology. Good luck and I expect frequent updates from you.

Hi, Dr. kathyekiti

Pls is catfish a fatty fish
What of croaker

Dear Dr Kathy,
I want to find out if Calcium lacate inhibits the absorption of iron from ferrous gluconate. if it does what can I do to maximize the absorption of iron.

@ Surgeon

Hi
@sammiejo

Yes, there can be an interaction causing decreased iron absorption. I would suggest you take the calcium at least 2 hours before the iron

@tundysho
Catfish is a better choice than Croaker.

Thanks Dr. for your response God will surely reward you.

Hi Doc,

Here I come again, Please, my 9 weeks pregnant wife is complaining of headache constantly, can I give her pain relievers like Paracetamol or Panadol or what do you suggest?

PLEASE I NEED YOUR RESPONSE URGENTLY!

Many thanks

Dr Kathyekiti

thanks for all your responses to our problems. i went to see a Gyn yesterday just to explain somehings and believe me, about 25k that i did not budget to spend there came out from my pocket. it was then that i remembered you and i said to myself, this is what our Gyn on nairaland will offer to us for free.

Dr, sometime ago i asked a question concerning my menstrual circle and also to know when i can concieve but Agaba123 responded to my question and i got everything cleared to me.

i actually went to see a Gyn coz my husband and i have sex almost everyday and pregnancy never happened. it came to a point that when we're through with sex, i'll raise my 2 legs up in other not to make the semen come out of me but still it didn't happen.

Now my question is this, when i saw the Gyn , he took all the information of my circles and confirmed it was regular and then went further to say he wanted to examine my breasts, i was scared when he touched it and tried to press it, then i saw a liquid coming out from both breasts without breast feeding. he ended up giving me some drugs and said he wanted to investigate me for 3 months.

what do u think can be the cause of the liquid?
Is clomid recommended in my case coz he gave it to me and i've started using it?
does it mean i can't get pregnant because of the liquid?

please Dr, i need a quick response as i am scared of what i saw. thank you as i await ur reply

Dear Doctor I appreciate all your efforts in helping people in this thread may God bless you more aboundant.

My elder sister aged 33 years has staphlococu Aureus infection, the test showed scanty growth of staphlococus. She has been on antibiotics for some time now but the infection is still there.

Please kindly advice what drugs she can tke to clear this desease out of her system.

And Doctor again, my cycle is between 26 - 28 days, when is my Ovulation day?

Thank you.

Hello Dr,
I am planning a trip with my bf in december and I would like to get pregnant during that time,
I am currently taking contraceptive pills, which help regulate my periods. When should stop taking them to increase my chances of getting pregnant? I don't want to get pregnant before and my bf refuses to use condoms.
Any supplements that you could recommend to increase my chances of conceiving?
Thank you

@ud4u

You are most welcome

@abayomi

What does the discharge smell like? I am also not sure what cyprotab is.

@go4gold

Yes, your wife can take paracetamol. She also needs to make sure that she drinks enough water that her urine is clear. Pregnant women are very susceptible to being dehydrated which can cause a headache. If the headache persists, she needs to see her ob ASAP

@olabola

your doctor probably is suspicious that you have high prolactin level. However, if you squeeze anybody's nipples, you will see a discharge. The fact that you have regular cycles also discredits this diagnosis as people with high prolactin levels do not have regular periods. What drugs did he give you?
