@beauty4ashes my sister I dey here oooo....I just gentle I hope you are feeling much better now. The Lord is your strength and trust me as long as you keep praying and holding on, you will hold your children in your hands soon. God is God.

@Olubankemi yes you can take COq10 and Omega 3, both are supposed to improve egg quality.

@ojingbe
Lol you are are looking for answer for your school work. Okay both could be sickle sell Anemia and keep the child hydrated. As for genetic basis, you should be able to answer that one. Oya run along. When you start your OBGYN and you get to how to resolve fertility issues you can come and educate us here or answer some questions then after that we can discuss Pediatrics.

@LadyG, please be sure that Ginger is okay for sperm motility. I ready a study that stated that if taken over time it affects sperm motility.

@beauty4ashes welcome and may God grant you all your desires. May your stay one this forum be short. May God bless all your endeavors and we will pray that your Feb 2015 IVF be a success.

@Abibby God bless you and your children. May they be a source of Joy and blessing to you and to all always.

@LadyGuinevere "Ala di na udi na udi " We must pray for all the people we encounters in our life. I hope you are resting and preparing for the triplets.

@Wehnby I hope you read Blendy"s post. May God direct you in your decision making and may he make you path easy.

@ all we must maintain peace at all cost. God doesn't like chaos. We must pray for peace on our forum so that great miracles will continue to be our testimony. It shall be well with us all.

@Wehnby I did mine abroad. House Please we need a good OBGYN that does fibroids operation if anyone can refer.

@ MercyofGod peace be with you. Welcome to our trend and may your stay here be short.

@Wehnby it depends on the size and location of the Fibroids. Yes any surgical procedure is dangerous especially if you are going to go under general anesthesia(if they will put you to sleep). But if the fibroids is of a remarkable size or poorly located then you need to remove it. Because when you do conceive it could cause a miscarriage (God forbid though).

I did a Fibroids operation in 2010, because i had a fibroid that was blocking one of my tubes. The trick is to find a doctor that a couple of people have used successfully. Again please if you can, do an open surgery as I know a lot of people that did it Laparoscopically that are have issues with miscarriage.

However if the Fibroids is not too big you can successfully do the IVF without removing it. See a good IVF doctor so they can do an ultra sound and look at it and tell you what to do. As per the Low Sperm count, supplements like Folic Acid and Zinc might help to boost the sperm count.

My dear all the best and welcome to the trend and may your stay here be fruitful and short.

@chiclasweet My dear this is somewhat what a normal analysis should look like. Note that the Values are different in some. The the way they measured the Concentration is different. But I am sure your doctors will tell you better when you meet with him on Monday.

Total Volume- 25 mililiters

Sperm Count- 40 million to 300 million is the normal range for the number of sperm per milliliter. Counts below 10 million are considered poor; counts of 20 million or more may be fine if motility and morphology are normal.

motility-50% or more should be active

Morphology-At least 30% of cells should be of normal shape

Color: grey opalescent

Concentration should be >20million/ml

LadyGuinivere:
Thank u mommies. God bless u immensely.
Me too bought DHEA and CoQ10 to optimize egg quality before next ivf

But do you have issue with egg quality and quantity? DHEA should only be taken if its absolutely necessary.

@itissettled it could make PCOS worse.

@ Celan Lol I missed your message above. You wrote inside mine anyway I sent you an email. If you have access to Amazon they have it all there. If you have access to the US any Walgreens, Walmart or CVS or any pharmacy should have most of them apart from the Royal Jelly and Wheat grass. Make sure the DHEA is micronized.

@ Oluwabankemi you can use pregnacare conception. Or any one as long as they have Folic acid 400mcg-800 and Ferrous sulfate.

@LadyG it is well. God will perfect all that is yours at his own appointed time. All we have to do is prayer and patience.

@Olubankemi where did you go? I hope you are doing well. Asprin is used to make your blood thinner which will invariable increase blood flow to the reproductive area. And Progynova is used to thicken the lining of the Uterus.

pretty2014:
Good day to beautiful mamas, i am new in this forum. My own case is unexplained infertility, thou i had done iui in one of this specialist hospital at ikeja mid last year for three circle but it was not successful. Am just afraid to go for the ivf, meanwhile i don't even want to go back to the hospital that i did the iui again. Can the house suggest a place for me around ikeja that is very good in ivf. My sisters i need your prayer, support and words or encouragement. Thank you all.

My dear Pretty2014, It is well with you. I know that Regenesis has often been spoken about on this trend. You can read back and get some information about them. This is their phone number 08130020130. But please ooo read prior posts and ask the people that have been there any questions or concerns.

May God be with you and may he answer all your prayers.

@suremanpatriot, Romanticandy, Calaharry" Be very careful and do not let the wrought of God descend on you. Please desist from causing confusion here now before its too late. This is a group of women trying to find solution to their issues and I dont know what a young boy like you hopes to benefit from causing confusion here. Stop and desist or else our God will give you something to worry about.

May God of peace return and rule onto this forum. May he remove and destroy any negative spirit from this forum. Amen.

lol @romanticcandy......" i believe" is not an attack, its the way I understand the literature. Please back your statement with medical science. ICSI is using a needle to inject a single sperm into the egg. Traditional IVF is throwing all the eggs and the sperm together and the sperm that first gets to the eggs fertilizes them. Again ICSI is about 200k more expensive so how are we saving money with ICSI? I am not here to fight or attack anyone and believe me this is not an attack its just correcting a wrong statement and all you have to do is do your research and prove me wrong.

So what you are telling me is that if she has 15 or 20 eggs retrieved she should go ahead and ICSI all 15? When she has no male factor issue. Do you know that a blocked tube can be opened with a simple procedure as HSG? My dear this forum did a lot for me. Brought me back from months of crying and depression so I feel a duty to make sure all literature here are correct even if I have to spend my precious time doing research on a statement that doesn't sound right to me.

If you feel offended i am sorry about that but the above statements are facts and not aimed at attacking anyone.

Nooooooo!!!! Darln unless you are telling me that the cause of the miscarriage is that you and your husband are not compatible and the IVF is with egg donor. If not its still the same. Find out why you body is rejecting the babies and try and fix that. And please get a second opinion.

@Celan Hmmmmnnn. your levels are high oooo I must tell you and this simply means that even if you ovulate your eggs will most probably be of poor quality. Mine was 21 last year and after series of medications it came down to 18 which is still high as anything more than 10 is considered high. You need to get on DHEA (micronized), Coq10, Fish oil, Melatonin, Vit C, Wheatgrass, Royal Jelly, Vitex etc and if you can Accupunture and Yoga. They are still some other supplements but I took all these plus of course your prenatal supplements.

And its not just cut down weigh, more like you need to exercise so that they will be more blood flow to your reproductive system.

But then again have you considered egg donor? With a donor as long as your womb is okay your chances are as good as the persons age. Discuss with your DH though because the above supplements will take some time to work and the decrease might not be significant enough for a change. Above all Pray, there is nothing God cannot do.

viviparity:
@Ebube my dear sister i wonder what is happnn to me, i hv never miss my period let alone miss carriage hmmmmm. I hv regular Af but hv nt done hormonal profile.pls which cycle day is ok for hormonal easy.thank all

Its best done on day 3 of your cycle. Please its very important that you do it to know where you are. If there is an imbalance it could manifest in many ways, from not ovulating to ovulating poor quality eggs which will hinder conception. Are you sure everything is okay with your DH?

celan:
Pls I need help frm u pple my own case is high fsh /lh, d prolactin is normal, pls has anybody any idea on wat 2 do, my story is so pathetic av been ttcin 4 6yrs now without +ve result, has anybody ds exp. Or know some one who is on it? Pls I need help frm u pple as fast as you can. Thanks beutiful mamas

How high is your FHS and LH? Whats your age bracket? Also what is your AMH level? Do you ovulate? Are you overweight? And please do not say your story is pathetic. Wait on the Lord. He will answer you and give you all your children at his appointed time. All you have to do is pray for his directions. It shall be well.

@suremanpatriot
"Now blocked tubes is why you qualify to do ivf. But this time around you do a more advanced ivf called icsi, though more expensive"

I believe this statement is not correct. You do not do ICSI because of blocked tubes, the main reason for ICSI is male factor infertility. For blocked tubes surgeries may be performed to remove adhesions, dilate a tube( tube flushing) or create a new tubal opening. However, this is rarely done, as pregnancy rates are usually better with IVF. For hydrosalpinx, removal of your tubes (salpingectomy) or blocking the tubes close to the uterus can improve your chances of pregnancy with IVF.

viviparity:
@Isibuttercup nd other mama pls advice me oo.i hv fibriod nd the gyn did not sujest sugery though big nd patent tubes,this is my yr 2 in marriage am above 30yrs.

Please get a second opinion. If you are in Lagos try and visit some of these great doctors that are mentioned on the forum. Fibroids should not prevent you from conceiving unless its blocking your tubes. However it might cause miscarriage after you have conceived because the space will not be enough for the baby. See another gynae if there is no improvement with the one you have.

moma2:
Good evening sisters , please. I would like to get information about olive branches fertility centre lagos( price of IVF,success rate etc) .am planning to start my 2nd IVF soon and somone told me to go there.baby dust to us all.

Olive Branch Success rate is higher than most and the price is from 980k or there about. If you read previous post you will get a lot of information from most members that used the clinic and got BFP.

@modaofnations; there are a couple of soaps that are non scented. I know dove has non scented for sensitive skin but I don't know where you can find it in Nigeria. They are also a lot of other brands of non scented soap and lotions.

@ modaofnations

Yes you can sterilize and use again. Just wash them out with hot water & a gentle (no dye, no perfumes) soap or then again just squeeze a teeny bit onto DH's stuff and fashi the applicator.

modaofnations: @Godmercies; thank u my dear. I just wanted d devil 2 know am stil in charge of my MOOD. he can't steal my JOY. Talking about dis alcohol stuff, I asked a question previously if there's anytin one can tek 2 increase/enhance vaginal mucous as I ve dis issue of vaginal dryness & ve noticed alcohol enhances it 4 me. I'd made complains b4 & 2 difrent gynae told me a bottle of beer b4 bd can't affect conception as 70% of unwanted pregies occur wen ladies get drunk esp at parties though am skeptical as I try 2 avoid anytin controversial. Is der any drug dat can help?
@ Blendy77; its been a while. I know it's tasking taking care of 2 big boys plus work. but The Lord is ur strength. How are they? We missed u and now dat u're back, I'll be delighted 2 hear frm u concerning d above question I asked. God bless us all.

My dear most lubricants for dryness also kill sperm. The only one I know that is sperm friendly is Pre Seed. http://www.preseed.com " You can check it out at the above site.

modaofnations: Hello everyone, d house is 2 quite. Pls experienced mamas I need urgent answer 2 dis. I want 2 know if it is ok 2 be on Pregnacare conception together with Omega 3 fish oil. Will I be taking 2 much vitamins by dis combination together with d folic acid am already on. Thanks

Yes you can take the 3 because they all have different ingredients and are taken for different purposes. As for folic Acid 800mcg a day is not too much. Pregnacare has 400mcg so if u decided to take another 400mcg its okay. Its a water soluble vitamin so your body takes the one u need and then the rest is excreted via urine.

Zinachimdindu: Thank you mumof4. Your post has really gladdened my heart. Starting ICSI at nisa premier premiere Abuja in a few days. Its my first attempt and I asking God to grant me same success that others are testifying using same hospital.

My major challenge now are the injections. I am so scared and have changed my procedure to a date that is in a few dates. Ordinary, I don't take injection and even taking my blood samples for simple test like malaria is so difficult for me.

Please I need everyone s support ,encourage and prayers. I will also need experience s from sisters after embroyo transplant. Were you able to go to work. What things do I avoid please.

Wishing everyone a beautiful weekend.

My dear dont worry about the injections. Just think of your twins and hold/pinch the skin on your abdomen tightly and it wont be that bad. The moment will pass quickly. And we hold you and everyone cycling in our prayers.

moma2: I started my TTC journey in 2010,HSG showed one sided hydrosalpinx and one patent tube.I also have an ovarian cyst on the same side.I did fibroid surgery last year,did tubal flushing there after(hydrointubation) and was placed on ijnectables(hmg) for 3months with no result. I was advised to go for ivf ,which I did in may this year.I didnot respond well for my age as I only produced 3eggs of which only one was fertilsed.hubby sfa is very good. I had only one day3 embryo transferred (grade b). To cut the story short I had a bfn.it was as if my whole world was coming to an end.words cannot explain the emotional trauma I went through. Am now back on my feet to try another cycle but I don't know whether to do it in the same hospital or try another hospital.the last one was done in shepherd hospital warri. Pls I need ur sincere advise.has anyone gotten a bfp in shepherd hospital? Is there anyone with similar condition that has gotten a bfp? Thank you sisters in the lord

My dear it is well. Before you decide to use another clinic why did you not respond well to treatment? What protocol did you use and whats your age bracket? The truth is that most doctors will tell you that the first IVF treatment might not work. Its mostly because there are still trying to learn how your body will respond to certain protocols. Whats your FHS level and AMH? That too will determine if there will be problem with egg quality and quantity which hopefully can be treated with some food and medications.

But at the end of the day it is still God.

olubankemi: My Ebube, where have you been? Waooo happy to see u back. Sure the Nl tsunami affected u. Am sure you are good.

Love ur posts then cos u sound very knowledgeable.

My sister na the tsunami true true oooo plus i couldn't access my email as well and I have also been traveling a lot. But I have been reading everyday oooo and I have been thanking God for all his wonders and the ones he will still do for us. But I am back now ooo. No matter the Tsunami the enemy wan use disturb our progress God will not agree. He will restore all at his time. Amen.

@ LadyGuinivere thanks you loads. I got it. Gods strength.

@AngelicBola83 my dear why are you taking Duphaston? Is it for menstrual disorder or endometriosis or infertility? Well I will advice you call your doctor just to be sure. Its usually not good to stop any hormonal treatment abruptly. Just clarify with him sha.. Gods strength.

@ LadyGuinivere please can you email me the ebook at ebube2015@yahoo.com. Thanks a million.

My people weldone oooo. Congrats to all our new babies and the babies yet to come. Congrats to all our BFP s. May God bless you all with your heart desires and may he give you all wise and healthy children.
