kingsmama:
Again, Congrats to all preggy mamas, and to we expectant mamas, we shall all experience our turning point.

I want to encourage us all not to be too anxious and not to give up on God. His timing is the best and be rest assured, he won't give up on U!

As we all continue in this journey, pls let's take note of what we eat during different phases of our cycle.

What to Eat:

Menstruation phase: beans, fish, leafy green, vegetables and seeds, bell peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, kiwi, citrus and onions. Eat food rich in iron to replenish blood e.g Ugu juice
Supp should include iron and VitC.
Let's stay clear of cold foods sugary and spicy foods

Follicular phase: broccoli, kale, cabbage and cauliflower, olive oil, avocado, nuts and seeds with leafy greens, beans, potato, yam, green veg, legumes,eggs, fish, chicken, brown rice, water melon, cucumber and banana
Supp: VitE, CoQ10, Royal jelly

Ovulation: Take zinc for cell division and progesterone production. VitC for high quality in the follicle after egg is released. Omega 3 to promote blood flow to the uterus and to support opening of follicle to release egg.
Eat leafy greens, whole grains, eggs, legumes, meat, fish, baby carrot, green veg, sprouts and wheatgrass, spinach, garlic, olive oil, strawberries, dark chocolate and take lots of water
Do not eat acidic food like coffee, alcohol, processed foods which makes cervical mucous hostile to sperm.
Supp: zinc, VitB6, EFA-omega3

Luteal phase: Take nutrients that encourage cell growth which are yellow and orange color foods e.g. sweet potatoes, carrots, pineapple, warm foods like soups and stews.
DO NOT EAT: cold or raw food e.g ice cream and frozen yogurt.
Supp: Take Beta-carotene

Baby dust!

kingsmama:


Mama fvine, thanks for your input, been silently waiting for this. You are too much

This is actually for my DH, diet and treatment for SC issue and high prolactin. From your observation and suggestions, I will reduce the vitC to 500mg. Is vitB6 also essential for male fertility?

haryourlar:
Mama fvine pls can I take braggs Acv thru the cycle and hope it doesn't have effect on ovulation. I want to work a bit on my weight.

Fvine:

Yes please. It makes the body alkaline which is very optimal for Fertility. Take it moderately though. Too much of everything including the good things is bad. I wish you success on your weight loss and healthy weight and lifestyle journey.

Good day my dear fruitful sisters,
my shout out goes you wonderful mamas, @fvine. May God bless everyone of us and grant all our heart desires. pls i need to be welcomed.
Baby dust to us.

Fvine:

I agree with you that it's all God but I disagree with you on the other points. It's also God who has given us the knowledge of this things for our own good. The problem is only when we trust in our own knowledge and understanding and feel we can do it alone or make it work without God.

I don't agree with your analogy. Some women have conceived by going out of their way to apply these patterns as you call it, some have had to go the extra mile to do some form of ART (IUI or IVF) and we're successful. Some MAY not be mothers today if not for the application of this knowledge. However it's all God because some do IVF severally in the best hospitals with the best Drs yet no success while others do it once in a regular Fertility Centre and get preggo first trial.

The mad woman on the street like you said eats rubbish and doesn't get ill or die like the 'normal' woman. Would you because of that eat rubbish because she didn't and didn't fall ill? Even when she falls ill, she doesn't go to the hospital but yet she recovers, would you because of that not get Medical treatment when you're ill? Some women have lost their lives during or after childbirth majorly because of this although nothing happens without God's knowledge I must acknowledge. But perhaps if they had heeded their Drs advice with God's mercy they might have survived. I wish I had more time to write out the epistle that have come up in my mind reading your post but I don't so I'll just stop here.

Don't get me wrong , I get where you're coming from. I acknowledge and believe that without God our knowledge is nothing. But we must be conscious and cautious not to perish because of lack of knowledge. Even the Bible acknowledges that "people perish because of lack of knowledge"

@ bigmom it's Baking Soad (Bicarbonate of Soda) found in stores that sell baking ingredients. The method is to wash your hands very well, disinfect of you can sef to avoid infection. Dry hands, wet the tip of one finger, deep into baking soda and insert into the veejay. Make sure not to go too high as to touch the cervix, if you touch the cervix with it, you'll feel a burning sensation but it doesn't cause any harm.

Attached is a pic of a popular Baking Soad thanks dear brand here in Lagos. Any brand works. Just make sure it's soda and not Baking Powder.

FruitfulRay:
My fellow beautiful mothers please help me out. I went for my HSG test today, it was not really painful but really discomforting, the test result will be out tomorrow as I went there from work and was hurrying home.

Well, I got home, put a little tissue in my vajayjy and after eating and ready to shower (like two hours later) I noticed a blood like lump on the tissue.

Has anyone ever experienced or seen this kind of thing, not just spotting oh. Abi is this what has been blocking my conception, just hope is not a part of me that they cut.

Different things running through my mind, sisters please assist...

momoftheyear16:
It's normal to see blood after HSG. I think it's also normal to see small clots. During my time, I had same experience(no pain, just discomforting even without drugs) but spotted for 2days. So my dear, relax, don't panic. The blood may have clotted within before it came out. All's well with ur uterus&tubes.

phelgmatic:
Good morning, mamas. I trust we had a good night rest. Some days ago, i heard a noise underneath my rug. When i went to check, i saw a small rat running away. I lifted one side of the rug and saw four baby rats abi mice. One was dead. They were so cute that i felt bad throwing them away but i can't have rats running around my house when they grow up. I felt for their mother though. I thought to myself, if rat, small one at that fit born, na me no go born? Na we no go born? Lubbish! The devil is a fucking liar!

God is still God!
