I am not going to say much so it doesn’t seem like I’m bragging. I currently live and work in Australia and we share a very similar system with the UK. I said I studied Civil Engineering but didn’t say I practice as one.. I am currently working in a building construction firm as a project coordinator and only stating how is it being done here.

I never said Architects aren’t important but was trying to clarify that Architect DO NOT have the license to build…simple. They design, liaise with the client and follow up at different stages of the project but the ultimate power to construct lies on the building contractor because they have a better understanding of the overall building process from A-Z ranging from Earthworks, masonry, concreting, roofing in addition to the local governmental council requirements, managing material, labour and equipments in additions to ensuring work health and safety alongside the HSE officer/personnel.

This is how a typical building process(commercial/high rise residential) works here for your understanding:

1. The client/owner meets with a Project management firm and states what they want.

2. An Architectural firm either in house or external is consulted to design according to the clients vision/needs.

3. The design is reviewed and then passed on to the engineering consultants for design and analysis. Architects design so many fancy stuffs to impress the client but engineers do the necessary structural analysis using the appropriate building standards to ensure the Architects design is structurally fit and flag the impossible designs that aren’t structurally possible(if any). Other tests/investigations such as geotechnical & environmental will also be carried out and the results will also be used for the analysis (especially for the foundation design).

4. If the design is approved and necessary documentations (specifications, geotechnical reports, environmental council approvals etc. ) have been done, its then stamped by the registered engineer and passed back to the client who then invites interested/selected building contractors to tender (to ensure its free and fair unlike the naija way).

5. Tenders are reviewed and the contract is awarded to the contractor with the best tender after necessary negotiations and meetings.

6. After the Construction work has started…the Architect and the design engineers only visits site from time to time to inspect and ensure there are no discrepancies but the Builder/construction project manager working for the contractor is the main guy that runs the site all through the construction phase.

That is how it is done here.

hibiscus tea is what we call 'ZOBO'.
What I did was unrelated to what the op is saying.
The main ingredient was the zobo, the garlic was just to give it more potency and spice.
Then I didn't think much of it, I thought it was one of those times when your pen1s feels like been naughty. I didn't connect it to the garlic.
What did op posted made me recollect and make the connection.
Another herb that I also noticed with similar property was alligator pepper.

Later I'll find some home remedies sent to me by a dear friend and a few I found online. Perhaps you'll give those a try.

See your doctor and take their prescription. If it persists, do not continue taking antibiotics because your body will become resistant to the antibiotics and that can be dangerous.

Doctors generally do not recognise staph aureus as an infection, especially when it's found in genital fluid. They say it's part of the natural body flora and does not cause problems except it gets into the blood through a deep cut perhaps.

So some doctors may ask you to do a blood culture or something like that to check if it's in your blood. Some doctors don't bother if you're not showing symptoms of staph. Google symptoms of staph for more info.

Meanwhile as far as ttc is concerned, many experienced mothers and fathers here with success stories have advised us not to allow staph stress us as they got pregnant despite the recurrent staph report.
