fvine and legendsmother where are you oo? Come and answer me before I overdose on pills out of frustration. My hormonal result is out:
Lh 2-9 (0.5 -10.5); FSH 4.0 (3.0-12.0); prolactin 31 (1.2-19-5); prog 0.5 (2.5-25); testosterone 1.4 (0.1-1.0). Summary: Infertility. What am I gonna do again on top one tube issue too? Ike agwulam oo

Nwanne m, biko ikeagwula gi, oh. Jisie Ike (My Sis pls dont be tired, be strong). Your Sis is currently on her way from Lagos to Anambra state to get Chromopertubation of the tubes done. My prayer is that God blesses us with the best of kids in health and happiness after all of these, angelic kids that will make us proud and take care of us in our old ageAmen. I know it will all be worth it at the end.

Just like Mamakendra said, you have high Prolactin which you need to treat using drugs either Parlodel or Dostinex or Natural Method (Ewedu, Cabbage and Vit B6 or Vit B Complex). The high Prolactin could be whats stopping you from Ovulating. High Prolactin can interfere with ovulation and your Progesterone number shows that you didn't ovulate. Your testosterone is high which is indicative of imbalances. I'll advise you start taking Omega 3,6 as it helps with hormonal imbalance, that's what my Dr prescribed for me sha. Your Dr can do Ovulation induction too with drugs to ensure you ovulate if need be. I don't know for sure like @ Mamakendra if the Omega's have affected my eggs but I know for sure that they have affected my hormones positively. I had one of the best AF ever, very low PMS ( only felt like shouting at DH once instead of wanting to dash him slap severally : ). Also no pimples, in fact the spot from my AF pimple is almost faded now. Increased CM too although it can be better.

Your FSH levels shows you have excellent Ovarian reserve. Your LH is lower than your FSH and is close to a ratio of 1:1 so you're likely clear of PCOS. I believe your anovulation is from the high Prolactin. Just treat the high Prolactin and take the Omega's and I believe you'll be fine. Don't worry yourself about having one tube. You can conceive with one tube. God and your body knows the one tube that is working and you'll most likely ovulate from that side each month. Chukwu agozi go gi, o fodu nwa mgbe nta ( God has blessed U, its remains small) and it'll manifest to his glory, Amen.

Which drugs are you currently taking? Abeg no kill yourself with unnecessary drugs / supplements oh!

Pt was positive, ran a scan and sac was seen. I became worried as I realised I might be miscarrying again. Called my Gynae and placed me on progesterone ( injections) . Went back to check last week via scan and two fetal poles and heartbeat was found. I was dumbfounded! Did it again( same result)

Ijeoma my dear sister, may your journey never be in vain,Amen. Thank you so much for the quick response, you are a great help. I have taken dostinex and parlodel before (stopped the parlodel because my body reacted adversely to it. What about bromergon? Am presently on vitex and 369 which I started last month. i bought letrozole for induction last month but i didnt use it. now am thinking of taking bromergon, 369 and letrozole once the next cycle starts. what do you think?

Two great Nation, Na so God wonder be oo! am happy for you. May God bless and keep you and your little oneS, amen.

Ike agwula gi, nwa nnem nwayi. O ga adi nma.
From my lil understanding, your result shows you have high prolactin, low progesterone, high testosterone.
But its not the end of the world. If you are not already on any drug for the prolactin, discuss with your dr about parlodel or dostinex (I learnt those here) or do/combine the drugs with the natural one of using cabbage, ewedu +vit b6(read previous posts on it)
Also for the progesterone, discuss with your dr on progesterone suppositories, but on your own you can add omega 369 to your daily supplements, make sure you are on a prenatal vitamin too, it helps.
I, personally have been on omega 369, for more than 1 month now, and during the last 2 tvs I did, my endometrial linning on cd10 was 10.2 mm and 11 mm on those 2 cycle, also the last tvs also showed a dominant follicle of 23mm, which released the following day. But the tvs I had on cd10 before I started taking the omega, showed a follicle that was not mature enough (I have a 25/26 day cycle)
All am trying to say is that omega3 can help. You can try that too

@ Fvine naa so d new dr said pcos and anovulation. But his treatment plan is six month induction. I don't know d drug he will be give o. But he ask me to come for d drug once af show face done hsg both tube r open nd dh sperm is normal. Pls anyoda prenatal I can take to help regulate nd acheive conception with d ovulation induce.thank you.
Fvine:


Sounds like there could be issues going on there. Have you visited a Dr before on it and what was the diagnosis? It could be that you have PCOS hence no Ovulation, no period except you take something to force it, another pointer to PCOS is your success with clomid which ended sadly with an ectopic and also your swollen lower abdomen (Bloating). PCOS ladies have a higher level of miscarriage than ladies without it. Most PCOS ladies usually need support in their 1st trimester to ensure a healthy pregnancy.

Are you overweight if yes pls lose weight, losing as little as 5kg could restore your period. If you're underweight please add weight in a healthy way which will also restore your period. Other symptoms of PCOS include rapid weight gain, difficulty losing weight, bloating, heavy bleeding during period, bleeding irregularly, hair on chin, around the areola or nipples, shedding of hair on the head amongst others.

You may wish to get a scan and hormonal assay for proper diagnosis . Remedies to PCOS is Low Carb eating, Exercise, Metformin (Glucophage), Inositol + Choline, Chromium and Vit B6 especially for overweight Cysters. Omega 3,6 (9) to regulate your hormones. Drs may also decide to use Ovulation induction drugs too like Clomid, Letrozole, Ovidrel trigger etc. Abeg don't self medicate on clomid again it can be dangerous especially for ladies that have PCOS and/or Fibroid. A lot of PCOS women have restored their periods and conceived with this popular combo Weight loss + Metformin ( Glucophage) + Inositol.

Ok. Any regular Prenatal or M2tone will do if you want to take a Prenatal. If the drug he gives you is Clomid, please express your concern for thinning of your uterine lining and Monitoring you while on clomid to see what he'll say. Also discuss taking Vit C together with the clomid, clomid works better when combined with Vit C. And again you may need to get and use Preseed for drying of the veejay caused by clomid. Most Drs will also do Clomid together with Metformin for PCOS patients. We can't really conclude now since we don't know the drug he wants to use. There are several drugs for Ovulation induction.

Pls I want to know how long Prolactin take to normalise. I'm tired of ewedu therapy, I always feel like throwing up each time I drink it. My Dr prescribed bromocriptine and ovacare which I started today. Also, my progesterone on cd21 was 3.2, does it mean I didn't ovulate? Today is cd5 of another circle and I av started taking bromocriptine. Is der possibility dat I will ovulate dis circle if I av not been ovulating.

Just continue working on it. My Dr said I'll continue to be on Dostinex until I get a bfp. A Mama here who also got her bfp recently had her Dr do the same thing for her, I can't remember who exactly now. I think people who are prone to high Prolactin need to continue suppressing it till a bfp is achieved as it goes up very easily once medication/treatment is stopped. I don't know this for a fact though, just my thoughts based on my Dr's prescription and that of the other Mama.

Does prolactin normalise? I think prolactin can be managed but i dnt know of it normalising. I have been on bromergon for almost a year now and what i notice is that the milk dries off after like 2 weeks of using the drug but once you stop it for a while the milk is there. So you need to use ur drugs religiously. On the ovulation aspect,i think it depends on your body system. Bromergon may induce ovulation for some people but it doesnt make me ovulate. Watch this cycle with the bromergon and ovacare if it doesn't make you ovulate, you can then induce ovulation. I hope this helps.
