Hello all.hope we're all fine.
I'l like to talk about our choice of foods and how to ensure that we're making the best choices for our body.
Homeopathy is rising in popularity as it is based on the principle of invoking the body's natural healing properties rather than overriding them to quell symptoms.
This propensity of the body to heal and strenghten it-self is sometimes called the "life force". The force of this flow can be stemmed by a failure to repond to our body's needs in diet,exercise,mental stability. However,it is a powerful force and remains undaunted even after years of neglect/abuse. But it shouldn't be taken for granted. Concious efforts should be made to assist the body in order to be in good health and even produce an offspring.This obviously is demanding on the body and as such,good choices should be made. E.g all foods can generally be grouped into acid-forming and alkaline-forming. Too much acid-forming foods is to be avoided,as it is important to maintain the acid-alkali balance within the body. Eating too many acid-forming foods can have adverse effect in the body by triggering several disease conditions.e.g of such food is coffee,alcohol,meat,bread etc.This doesn't mean these foods should be cut out altogether,rather, simply reduce the amount and counter the effects with alkaline forming foods such as fruits,vegetables,beans etc.
This helps to maintain the balance of ph in the body and keeps the body healthy and disease -free. When the body is in this state,it would readily respond to produce in terms of ttc. All the best.
HealthRe: Alternative Methods To TTC by Cocodiva(op):
Hello all,
@yummyk, why are they asking you to remove the cyst?Secondly,I'l like to ask questions about the cyst if you don't mind.what is the classification given about the cyst? Is it fluid-filled or is it a mass?have you used birth-control pills on it without success?are you having symptoms of the cyst?is it on one or both ovaries?
Thirdly,while I await your response, surgery is not a good option IMO.cos the ovary is a delicate organ,there is a risk of it not working again.the balance of the fimbria-ovary structure may be compromised and when that happens,its as good as one having blocked tubes or no tubes at all.esp if both ovaries are worked on.I really don't want to write a very long post,so I'l stop here with that.I'l like to give examples of ladies I know that have done such.one had her ovary not functioning again,but fortunately,it was one ovary that was worked on and not functioning. So years later,she was able to concieve with the other one.the other,used to have pains with hers before the surgery even though she travelled out of the country for the surgery,after a few weeks the pain got even worse than before she had the surgery and she has to deal with the pain along side now.and guess what! She's being asked to come for yet another surgery! So,its just a roller-coaster.its best to handle it naturally cos even with surgery,it still grows back

@hopeful, try to do castor oil packs regularly, its more beneficial when you're detoxifying. Also the use anti-inflammatories e.g extra virgin,cold-pressed olive oil, blackseed oil etc is good cos it prevents the spread and pains that come with it. You don't have to do everything all at once. These are just options you can choose from. Adopt what is convinient for you at any one time.

HealthRe: Alternative Methods To TTC by Cocodiva(op):
Hello all,

@honiepie, thanks. Concerning the salt water wash,its all about quantity.its a pinch or two of salt in an average bath bowl.along with warm water,dissolve completely and rinse.after rinsing,dry immediately with toilet paper.its meant for severe cases of uti when you're iching all over.it gives instant relief.so when you rinse ,it kills their strenght and the itching will reduce. Besides,its not something to be done on regular basis.just once in awhile.
@Goke7, there's no blanket regimen for using the treatment,everyone is different and the severity of the infection is different.so watch your reaction to the treatment.but don't stop immediately the symptoms cease.continue for another week or two so that you're sure of full treatment. If possible,go and have a test to check if its fully gone.cos incomplete treatment of uti can cause kidney infection.all the best
@hopeful3, for peri-fimbrial adhesions,its best to start with a cleanse,balance your hormones,eat right,incoporate a lot of veggies and antioxidants into your diet(daily) and do an enzyme therapy.avoid the use of clomid and composed multivitamins.try to get your dose of vitamins from your diet.you can use any of the superfoods instead. And avoid surgery if you can.esp if you're not having symptoms.
Ivf is fine if you've been trying on your own for long without success.all the best

I don't understand your point. Your outburst shouldn't be directed at me (I suppose)
IslamRe: Sunnah Of New Born Baby , Scientifically Proven - BBC Article by Cocodiva: 3:45pm On Sep 27, 2013
If the @ Op's write-up is clearly understood, he is not justifying Islam with the recent scientific findings. He is simply making us understand that Islam is the Truth , and it could only have come from A Supreme Being (ALLAH) . That something that had been done or recommended in the time of the prophet(saw),thousands of years ago,is now being proven to be beneficial scientifically.
Islam cannot be justified now anyway,because it had been perfected long ago and guarded against any form of deceit. So the rationale behind the do's and don'ts can only now be more understood . Using scientific findings to explain to non-muslims now what Islam already mentioned thousands of years ago is good because they don't believe in Islam and the Qur'an but they'l most likely believe in whatever science proves. So I see it as a form of dawah (spreading the message of Islam).

For detoxification,there are so many products out there .but its always good to use products with good reviews from those who have used them.combo of shake off and Trevo has been mentioned and seems to be good.@ Hopeful3, just mentioned she started with it.can you pls explain its use further ,and your experience with it? Thanks @hopeful3

Goke7: Thank you very much for your comprehensive response, this will surely help many out there. Please can you also help with the use of acv [apple cider] for urinary tract infections, am sorry for asking too many questions. Thanks
You're welcome.for urinary tract infections,depending on the severity,you can start with the use of baking soda to halt the spread .Baking soda being alkaline will raise the acid level thereby giving you relief from the symptoms. Take a teaspoon of BS to a glass of water once or twice a day then follow up using acv.take a tablespoon of acv to a glass of water 3 times a day.you may add honey to the mix if you like. For a lady,you can also use salt water to wash" down there". Above all,drink plenty of water so aid flushing of the system.all the best!

@Venuss, I checked pregnitude up online and it looks promising.especially for women with PCOS. But it seems they only sell around US alone.I saw that on their website.
If that's the case,you can order it online using a 3rd party who will ship to you here in Nigeria.

@honiepie,where are thou? Hope you're good
HealthRe: Alternative Methods To TTC by Cocodiva(op): 12:18pm On Sep 25, 2013
Hello all,
@Goke7, I agree with you that azoospermia is a condition that's on the increase these days. There are several causes of this condition .such as
* genetic factors
* testicular failure
* Obstructive azoospermia
*weight issues
*infections / STDs
Its important that any man having this condition works with his doctor for proper treatment due to the sensitive nature of it.
Depending on the causal factor, natural methods can assist the body to return to a good place in order to reverse the situation or respond better to treatment.
Those with genetic factors are the most difficult to deal with. Cause genetics is what you've been born with,but nothing is impossible,it may be challenging but not impossible.
For those men that are overweight and obese,they need to lose the excess weight so that the normal functioning of their system resumes. Tests for infections should be carried out and appropriate treatments observe completely.Men having infections can have no symptoms or signs,so its important that treatment cycle is completed.This category and others will benefit from some herbs like maca,ginseng root,saw palmetto. The dosage is usually on the bottle. Acupuncture is another thing that benefits this condition,because it helps the body go back to a state of equlibrium. For those that have obstructive azoospermia, a surgery would be needed to allow free flow. This category will benefit from the use of enzyme therapy,there are products such as rejuvenzyme,wobenzym,serrapeptase which are very helpful to prevent blockage due to scar tissues .
Lifestyle changes and diet changes are also relevant.habits such as smoking,alcohol intake are to be discarded.exercise should be adopted to help blood flow around the body.loose ,cotton boxers should be worn,no tight fitting jeans or trousers,avoid placing laptops on the legs.ensure the temperature of down below is reduced. Above all, work along with your doctor and do your part keeping your body in good shape.all the best

@Beski, for hormonal imbalance, Use vitex .its very effective for hormonal imbalance.it corrects it and brings it back to the normal range even for high prolactin.
For multiple fibroids, try using black strap mollases .heard its effective for fibroids with or without apple cider vinegar.
You should also try and modify your diet.cut out sugar, include more fruits and veggies to what you eat on daily basis.All the best

Asalam alykum all,
@latty, may Allah reward your loss with something better.
In addition to what @amazeballs and @zezzy said, it could also be due to placental issues. If the placenta is not properly attached and functioning,it will fail to supply nutrients to the growing foetus. And it may also be hormonal issues.have your doc perform relevant tests before you start trying again. Above all, Allah knows best.He gives and He takes due to reasons best known to Him and its always the best for us.just keep praying.Allah did it the first time and He'l do it again and grant you pregnancy that'l result in live birth.Also for the rest of us-ameen
HealthRe: Alternative Methods To TTC by Cocodiva(op): 10:55am On Sep 23, 2013
Hello people, hope we're all doing great!
I'l like to talk about the importance of something very simple and inexpensive ,but which most people don't take seriously... WATER Two thirds of our body is composed of water,and it is essential for it to be provided with a regular supply.Most of us drink too little,and this can cause problems both for our general health and reproductive health.
Bottom line is,you should never let yourself get to the state where you actively feel thirsty,as this is a sign that your body is very dehydrated.
Aim to drink at least 2litres a day.This may sound a lot,but actually,the body loses about that much a day and especially in hot weather.Don't drink water as tea or coffee or carbonated drinks.Drink water as water itself. A good way of quantifying your water intake is to examine your urine.If it is dark,then it is full of toxins and your body needs more water to flush these out.If it is clear and odour free,you are drinking a sufficient quantity.This is extremely important for those ladies undergoing a fertility cleanse.
All the best to us all

Asalam alykum all, may Allah bless us with our children very soon-ameen.
@Beelie, hmmm. You need to take charge of your fertility . Do you understand fully what peri-fimbrial adhesion is? First of all, you need to repeat that hsg to know the latest state of things before you go ahead with any other treatment. Secondly,IMO,I won't advice you to be on clomid if you have adhesions,it only worsens it.adhesion ,as well as fibroids feed on estrogen .so when you take such estrogenic drugs as clomid,you are only worsening the situation. So I'l advise that you repeat the hsg to know if the adhesion has cleared before going ahead with any further clomid treatment.may Allah guide us aright-ameen
Car TalkRe: Siena: Please Read VW Jetta Issues by Cocodiva: 10:05am On Sep 20, 2013
@FSB, sorry about. Your dilemma. I had same issues with my '05 jetta and I have been able to resolve it. The signs were just same as you described yours,I changed transmission oil and the issue resolved for a while though longer than you said yours did.though it took a while before I felt the difference but afterwards I enjoyed it for some weeks before it went back to the jerking.
Long story short,I was faced with same options as you,but in my case , N97 code came up along with some other codes.which is the valve body stuff.I'm surprised yours is not having that.don't clear any codes when you scan,that will give you a clearer picture. Well ,my mechanic advised that I shouldn't buy a used valve body and that I could buy a used gear box.but on bringing the issue to NL,@ siena advised that I shouldn't consider a used gear box but rather change the valve body which I ended up doing and he was able to help procure and ship to me.my car drives smoothly now and I'm finally over the problem.you should post your query on his thread VW/AuDi resolution thread to get his attention.

Hello all,hope we'r good.
@baaby,its alright to have whatever number of kids,if it makes you happy. Cysts are usually as a result of hormones and there are different kinds of cysts.there is functional cysts which is normal and goes away on its own during a woman's cycle.I don't know which type you'r having.but whichever one,you'l benefit from a detox prior to trying again for your baby.follow it up with vitex and evening primrose oil combo.and vit E
For the EWCM, taking grapefruit juice helps and also lemon+water as a drink.before ovulation.there's also a product by fair haven, "fertile CM" its also very good. Its the same company that makes fertil aid.you can get it from pharmacies that stock hebal products. I'l try and get the number of their rep and put it up later.
Also try and eat more of veggies and fruits everyday. And plenty of water.water forms a good percentage of CM

Hello all, hope we're all good.
@honiepie,yes I get your point and reasons behind it.may we never fall victims to bad practices of a greedy few.

@Rahul, yes PCOS is one of the major causes of infertility. It may be symptomatic or asymptomatic and women who have it may not know until they actively start trying to concieve without success. Most women with PCOS are overweight,and their symptoms may include excessive hair growth on the face or body,missed or irregular menstrual periods,acne,dandruff,dark patches of skin etc. Unfortunately,PCOS stops women from ovulating and often leads to infertility.
Research as shown that insulin resistance contributes to the syndrome.That's is why losing weight and avoiding sugar to the barest minimum is important to women with this condition.
All other factors being in order,using her meds and changing her diet,having an exercise routine that works her body will have a dramatic effect on her condition and lead her to concieve soon.
Pls give her all the support while she's at it.

You can get green tea from any big supermarket or some pharmacies. Castor oil is the same.people use it for constipation even though its not really advisable to consume it.
HealthRe: Alternative Methods To TTC by Cocodiva(op): 9:17pm On Sep 15, 2013
Doing great. @netproffit,thanx for the reminder.
@honiepie,the detox idea,is a good one.surely a must do on this ttc journey.
On the issue of the antioxidants,its very essential to have them and one can't get it entirely from a single source.considering the fact that portion control is important esp. For people that are overweight and ladies with pcos as they can't consume sugar (carbs) much of which fruits have in good quantity.hence the green tea suggestion.As most people have them for breakfast.
Yes chin.a is well known for fake stuff esp in Nigeria but there's no denying the fact that their herbs are effective for ttc.so we shouldn't generalise and deny ourselves the benefits inherent in their stuff.my green tea is not even made from there.secret is buy your products from reputable stores and if possible,popular brands.
