Good day doc,I had a natural miscarriage on 9th October after a scan that implies that I have a blighted ovum.The normal bleeding stopped after five days.I have being seeing some creamy,slimy and stringy discharge for some days now .My question is what could have caused the blighted ovum and can it be prevented? Secondly, does this discharge mean m ovulating coz I want to TTC right away.

honeyjoy77:

@honeyjoy77

Provided all things being normal,a pass of 6-9months is advised before she is expected to carry another pregnancy.

Give a week more for this,try to observe on yourself any changes that comes with either pregnancy or your flow.
Then try to carryout the home pregnancy test and a clinical blood test either to rule out or to confirm.


Be rest assured that the constipation may just be a thing of its own or something coming up with it. Eat properly as necessary and you will be just fine.

veneza:


Thanks, I will just check up next weekend like you said.

Hello, Dr
Madams visitor is 10days late, longest since we got married for about 18 months now, she ran a quick PT & it came out -ve, although it's heart breaking what's bothering us the most is an unusual fluid that she sees when pees & tries to use tissue to wipe her under. It's a thick pap like gel, it doesn't drip out, it's only when she uses a tissue that she's able to rub it & see it, very scary.
This isn't the first time, the last time it happened it was during her ovulation window in August, which passed us coz i didn't want to take chances. The doc said its not unusual that some women have "glitches" in their cycles which could cause it, & that we should wait for a week before going back to d hospital if it hasn't siezed. It did so we didn't go back.
Now it's here again but this time it's at an odd time of d month which has no correlation with the last scenario.

LuckyG1:
Does this discharge smell awful? Any other characteristics to show vaginal infection?

yakbauer:


No it doesn't smell... Sorry I.missed the fact that after this the period came with serious abdominal pains, on the 40th day, this is 10 days late

anastasia49:
Please doctor,is a sperm count of 13million considered okay for a man?I've been trying to conceive for two years now and although my doctor says it's okay, Google tells me otherwise.I will really appreciate a second opinion .Thanks

LuckyG1:


It is not too bad at all but if it can appreciate to at least 20 million per mil litre just to take to the acceptable standard then it will be great.

Good evening doc

I recently went for pelvic scan, everything looks ok. But I noticed '' thin endometrial plate is noted ''. Please is this normal?

Thank you

LuckyG1:


Yes! It is normal. What period of your cycle was this scan done?

swtdarling:


Thank you. On CD 5

LuckyG1:


What then do you expect? You are just 5days gone in a new cycle,the estradiol regulating the thickening of the endometrial plate is still at its low surge. It is therefore not expected of the endometrium to thicken at this point in time. Another thing to take note of,the uterine lining can also get thinning when the background level of estradiol is consistently low(hypoestrogenism). This can affect fertility and even implantation, for the fact that some level of thickening is expected of the endometrium before implantation can take place.

You are advice to repeat scanning a day before your ovulation. It is expected that the endometrium shall have thickened to normal assuming no case of hypoestrogenism. You may match it up with a hormone profiling too.

Good morning doc pls below is my pelvic scan result I did yesterday.

I did hsg too but the test was inconclusive I was told to come and repeat the test again tomorrow which will be cd12.
is repeat of the test immediately safe? am scared to go thru d pain again.

yesterday was cd10

LuckyG1:


Madam,
Subserosal uterine fibroids develop on the outer surface of the uterus and continue to grow outwards, giving the uterus a knobby appearance. As these fibroid tumors are located on the outer surface of the uterus, when they grow in size, they start exerting pressure on the surrounding organs and in some extreme case they may even obtain their blood supply from these organs.

Sometimes, enlarged subserosal fibroids may compress the fallopian tubes. In these instances, infertility can occur due to the blockage of the fallopian tube, thereby preventing sperm and egg from meeting. Overly large sized serous mass can even distort the pelvic position of the fallopian tube resulting another diverse form of infertility. Regarding the size, it is only required for this mass to be removed if one has been trying to conceive and to ease symptoms.

You can recall your appointment if you so please,it is expected that you should find time to be comfortable with the screening exercise as to avoid some certain problems bedevilling the procedure.
