Health / Re: Urgent Appeal To Donate Towards Saving Mrs. Aminat O. Fahm's Life by Cocodiva: 9:08pm On Dec 30, 2014
Ãameen. May Allah console her family at this painful period and cater for the children she left behind. This is very sad.

I've personally gone on a confirmation/verification visit to this lady and her health condition is as reported. She has indeed lost a lot of weight and is in a lot of pains. She could not sit down all through the while i was there. She could barely speak and she was quite weak. I personally plead with all nairalanders to please come to the aid of this lady. I tried very hard to hold back tears when she told me she had to give up her last child to someone to take care of as she was not in a position to do so after she became ill. From my observation, time is of the essence. Please all, nothing is too small, that little amount goes a long way. Let's help her and i pray that Almighty God will help us in our point of need too.

Hello all, @ yummyk, welcome back from your trip.yes there can be too much of supplements. Like every other thing in life, moderation is key.if you have any underlying medical issues,you need to ensure the supplement you intend using will not aggravate it. You have to ensure you are using a supplement based on your diagnosis and don't combine drugs and herbs especially if you're on any prescription meds. And always observe and have tests done after a while to ensure you're having positive results on it. All the best

@larrymoore,the book you're reading,is it the one by Haroon Yahya?

Hello, my people. How is everyone doing? May we all be granted our heart desires this year.
@onose, I'm good .glad to know you are too.
I implore everyone to take things easy. Life is as simple as we make it.
All the best @all.
Islam for Muslims / Re: What Islamic Books Are You Currently Reading? by Cocodiva: 9:22am On Jan 02, 2014
Wa alykum salam , reading of islamic books is highly beneficial for us as muslims. Its unfortunate that people are now carried away by internet, films and the likes. May Allah save us. At the moment, I'm reading "Excellence of Patience, and Gratefulness by Ibn Al-Qayyim .
Heard that book you're reading @op, is voluminous (if I remember correctly) how many pages/volumes is it?
Islam for Muslims / Re: Misconception: Death For Apostasy by Cocodiva: 11:33am On Jan 01, 2014
I quite understand the arguements better now. To the "debators" could you please shed light on Quran 16: Vs 44
There are several verses in the Qur'an that are similar to it,but let's start from here.
@cloudstar raised an issue as well,where was 5 daily mentioned as per salat in the Qur'an. And I'l like to add, where are the instructions concerning the postures and what to recite in the different postures of salat mentioned as well?
I wouldn't want to use hadiths , since you don't believe in the books of hadiths.

Hello all, hope we're all good.
@onose01, how is it going?
@myzone, some places have been mentioned in past pages as per locations in PH where you can buy ACV/BSM. Please read back .
Islam for Muslims / Re: Misconception: Death For Apostasy by Cocodiva: 7:51pm On Dec 30, 2013
This topic is neither a misconception,nor is it open for debate. The issue of apostasy in Islam is clear. It is death in an islamic state. It is amazing how people who claim to be muslims,but in reality are outside the fold of Islam either knowingly or unknowingly to them go around misleading people and throwing doubts into their hearts concerning the deen. I'm not surprised anyway,when it involves people that belittle the hadith of the prophet (SAW) , and those who rely upon the Qur'an alone as their source of guidance. I smell deviant sects around! You lots should seek repentance of Allah and ask for guidance from Him.

Islam for Muslims / Re: Prayers For Couples Trying To Conceive A Child (TTC) by Cocodiva: 3:42pm On Dec 30, 2013
Asalam alykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatu . My sisters,hope we're all fine.
@cerkeynah, alhamdulilah robbil-alamin. May Allah subhana wa ta'ala perfect this bounty He has granted you. Amin
Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy. Do not relent in making your dua always. May Allah bestow upon us the rest His favour (BFP) very soon -amin
Health / Re: Alternative Methods To TTC by Cocodiva: 3:16pm On Dec 21, 2013
@chiclasweet, two or three of that B brand will be sufficient. If you are unable to get another brand with bigger size.

Hope we're all enjoying the weekend
Islam for Muslims / Re: Prayers For Couples Trying To Conceive A Child (TTC) by Cocodiva: 9:39pm On Dec 20, 2013
Asalam alykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatu . My dear sisters. Hope we're all fine. Its been a while. Hope we're still keeping the faith alive and not only immersed in TTC. May Allah make it easy-amin.
Its vital that we make dua with absolute conviction that Allah hears and He's capable of granting whatever we seek of Him. Even if the manifestation of the dua has not materialised,that doesn't mean that it has gone unanswered. Let's engage in acts that'l strenghten our faith in Allah because that is our primary mission on earth. May Allah make it easy for us.

@ Onose01, please calm down. I guessed as much. Try and visit a good gynae for proper and effective treatment. PID is not something to joke around with. Its definitely connected to the fluid. Don't stress yourself with worries, its a condition that can be easily taken care of. With the proper diagnosis now,the problem is half-solved.

@all, greetings . Have a wonderful weekend.
Food / Re: Recipes For The Fruitful Home by Cocodiva: 8:12pm On Dec 20, 2013
@ dreamsinbc, I've made several . Though I have some favourites already. Like spanish omelette , colcannon , oatmeal pancake . I love the fact that the recipes incorporate veggies and nuts into meals. More like a fun way of taking your veggies. And also using healthy ingredients in meals. Thanks again. I shall do the needful at the blog

A regular portion of fruits with each meal, balances it all!

@Onose01, Do you feel the pains during AF only or at other days of your cycle?
On a scale of 1-10 (ten being highest) how bad is the pain?
Health / Re: Alternative Methods To TTC by Cocodiva: 12:45pm On Dec 18, 2013
@Onose01, sorry about the pain. Sounds to me like a case of inflammation somewhere. Depending on the severity of the pain. You could be able to pinpoint where the pain stems from. But its important that you know what's causing the pain. Hot water bottle is good ,but if the pain becomes unbearable,you could use pain -reliever.you really shouldn't put yourself through it. Pain medications such as tylenol and aspirin are relatively safe to take.

Greetings to all !
Health / Re: Alternative Methods To TTC by Cocodiva: 5:57pm On Dec 16, 2013
Wow!!! A big congratulations to you @babe01, I'm really so happy for you. All praises and adorations be to God almighty. I was just so certain that this year was not too far gone for a BFP to happen. I wish you a happy and healthy 9months dear. Enjoy!!!

@me_me, I sent a reply to you the same day. I'l re-send.its fine. Pls go ahead with it. All the best!

Hello all,
Hope we're having a restful weekend.
@alwayz.ify, you can check the nearest healthplus pharmacy to you. Or any other reputable pharmacy around
@omankem,you're welcome dear. All the best
@eumaca, ideally, you shouldn't have EWCM beyond ovulation.could be you're not getting the date right. Or could be multiple ovulation. It'l be best that you get an OPK so that you know for sure. Clearblue is a good one, but pricey. Predicte is also good and pocket-friendly.

@all, hope we're all good. May our BFP's come soonest. Cheerz and lots of fertility wishes !
Health / Re: Alternative Methods To TTC by Cocodiva: 12:42pm On Dec 12, 2013
@mamaoge, Lol . Its the same maca. And you'l most likely have higher libido around O. Not all through the month. What maca does is to nourish the master gland that's in charge of hormones in the body. Which in turn ensures that all hormones are balanced and in good working condition. And naturally,when a woman approaches her O,that's when she has a higher libido which encourages a higher conception rate- isn't God perfect? So don't be afraid pls. If you go back to page 1-3 of this thread,you'l get more info about maca.can't remember the exact page now.
@gr8fulheart, so glad you're not angry anymore. Thanks
@venuss,@lore&temi,@ofatruth,@fift,@babe01,@yummyk@hopeful,@rainyday. And all .hope we're good

For everybody taking BSM, ensure you get a vit C source to go with it. Preferably from fruits or supplement if fruits will not be convinient everyday. BSM contains iron, which cannot be properly absorbed by the body in the absence of vit C. Iron is important especially for ladies due to our "monthly business"(AF) so let's ensure its not wasted
Health / Re: Alternative Methods To TTC by Cocodiva: 12:24pm On Dec 12, 2013
Hello all,
@Omankem, its more likely the clomid that gave you those cysts.and they are likely follicular cysts.You probably didn't use the right dosage for your body hence the unruptured follicles.That's why its always a wrong move to use clomid unsupervised by an ob-gyn. Pls ensure you get a doc that furnishes you with the right info.its every woman's right to have adequate info about their health in order to be able to make an informed decision.besides,that's why you pay consultation fees. You need to take certain steps to reverse the effect of the cysts. Get DIM , take as prescribed on the bottle.this helps the body with estrogen break-down. Take maca capsules. And do castor oil packs like twice a week. and of course, eat right and take smoothies (fruits and veggies) often.
Health / Re: Alternative Methods To TTC by Cocodiva: 2:20pm On Dec 11, 2013
@omankem, please calm down. There are many factors to consider when it comes to ovarian cysts.
1: Ensure you have your scan in a reputable centre.not just any place ,to eliminate naija issues.
2:insist your doctor grade the category of cyst/s you're having
3:Cysts come and go.depending on your CD
4:There are different types of cysts.not all of them are a cause for concern.
5:have you used any ovulation induction drug/medication in recent time
Are you having pains or symptoms in your pelvic region?
Hot compress can be employed.saturate a small towel in hot water, wring it out ,fold and place on your abdomen.place a hot water bottle on it. This encourages blood flow to the area which eases it and helps break it down. But try and know the exact type so that we can know the way forward. I don't want you to start taking stuff when there is no problem
Health / Re: Alternative Methods To TTC by Cocodiva: 2:01pm On Dec 11, 2013
Hello everyone,
@gr8fulheart,don't be upset please.I saw your question,but I hoped someone else that has used it would come up to answer.because its been discussed earlier and I thought you wanted another opinion on it. Sorry about that.
@coffeencream,you're welcome. And amen to your prayers. Laparoscopy looks into the reproductive area to see what's going on there.but if in the process,adhesions are seen,then they'l be taken out which may cause you more adhesions in the future unless you are able to concieve immediately.methods of alternative treatments have been discussed earlier. It'l be beneficial if you could read back.but basically, a change in diet is important. Inclusion of fruits and veggies as smoothies.castor oil therapy helps a lot,use of wobenzym / serrapeptase. Helps to breakdown scar tissues and prevent further growth.
Health / Re: Alternative Methods To TTC by Cocodiva: 6:31pm On Dec 09, 2013
Hello everyone, how is it going?
@taramisore,the ACV without mother is kind of incomplete. Because the mother contains the enzymes that do the good work in the body. Though its not completely useless,you can use it to cook and include in your salad.but pls try and get the one with mother for your daily use.
@iykmau,@mamaoge, BSM and ACV is definately good for big fibroids.but to get a faster and more effective result,I'l advice a more comprehensive approach.such as a fertlity cleanse,DIM plus,mustard+honey.do castor oil packs and change of diet. Adding more smoothies (fruits and veggies) to your diet,cut out processed foods,sugar,excess meat,more proteins and less carbs. And of course,exercise (fibroids feel comfortable in stagnant situations) hope this helps.
@talktozingo,I'm in support of what @venuss said.make sure to get a diagnosis before embarking on any self-help. So you'l be better guided on a course of treatment.but in any case,if you can't do her list,you can pick out vitex (chasteberry / agnus castus) and maca. Its a proven combo that brings lost AF back. Its safe and doesn't force it out but works with your body in order to make necessary corrections to what has gone wrong. All the best
@all, have a pleasant week!

@hopeful, good to know you're fine. That is such a noble gesture on your part and it is encouraged to do such. And amen o . May we all achieve BFP before this month ends. Its very possible cos there's nothing impossible for God.

@Babe01,you can get organic coconut oil at fig health store .They have one for 1750 and another for about 4k or so.depending on size.you can also check healthplus
I'm so happy with the result you are getting so far.
Is the discharge brownish? Let me hear your response first.
@yummyK, your post and that of @babe01 ,gives me re-assurance and gladdens my heart.it reinforces the fact that,one,we are what we eat and two,the body is in the best position to heal itself as long as we give it the right tools to do so. We really should appreciate the fact that God has given us all these natural plants and has given some people knowledge to know how these plants can heal us.Let's keep it up and I'm certain we're all close to that light at the end of the tunnel.
@Omankem,preseed is available at most pharmacies.it's in a blue pack.
Health / Re: Alternative Methods To TTC by Cocodiva: 6:12pm On Dec 04, 2013
Hello all,
@donatee,yes I'm good ,glad to know you are.
@redeemersave,brazil nuts is not readily available here in Nigeria so it doesn't have local name here. I've seen it mostly in combo with other nuts at SPAR,PRICE supermarket @ikota shopping complex.but if you can't do the trouble,you can shop for it online.
@iya-ibeji, eating garlic or inserting it? Eating it should be moderate.you should incorporate it into your meals.inserting it,should be for a specific reason.Do you have infection or inflammation? Either way,the cervix is usually closed after O so no need to worry. The real deal takes place higher up and not the VJ

Hello house,
I'm good @hopeful,thanks.good to know you are too.

A quick addition to the SMEP plan.
Sperm meets egg plan (SMEP) works perfectly well with the use of preseed. Especially for those who don't get enough EWCM. It also goes well with the use of soft cups e.g instead cup and the good menstrual cups such as mooncup. With these,the little swimmers will hopefully head to the desired destination.as long as the tubes are patent.even if its just one patent tube. A modification to the SMEP,if you don't have OPKs, or have anxiety using them,(like I do) you can omit it and just BD on those days stated.hopefully,the party will still go on. Fertility wishes to all!
