Oleayo22:
I used mecure in lekki. I start from day 10 and a second on by day 12 cos my cycle is btw 27-28day usually. The doc that does mine usually do both because of the cyst, she says it doesn't help her to see all the follicles so we end up doing abdominal too. To do 1 scan is 7k and 2 is 10k so, I usually pay for two and carry over the 2nd scan to next month. I will advice test strips also cos I used all.

Alright. Thanks. My average is also 28days so I guess 2 per cycle might just be enough. Am just trying to sample opinions in what others are doing/did cos am headed that route soon.

@ delor Dear, your in laws are being silly by mocking God. To me that's what they're doing with their thoughts, words and attitude. But don't worry. God cannot be mocked. He promised us fruitfulness and always does what he says he will do. Seek out God's promises in the Bible. Pray with them and hold unto them. Do your part and leave the rest to God. God will bless you with your own fruits and none other than your children will have your inheritance. Fear Not, Do not be dismayed for the Lord Almighty is your God.

@ Beningasweety, sorry for your loss. I can only imagine what you're going through but please allow yourself to heal. Physical, Emotional and Psychological healing is necessary. Don't self medicate on Clomid. You've been pregnant before, I therefore believe God will bless you again without any meds. God who gave you this son, will bring another who will stay with you. Take heart, take care and God bless.

Hello mas, pls I av a question, I notice dt immediately after my period I v discharge not itching or smelling dt even stain d pant bt wen am close to d days of supposed ovulation no discharge again,until few days to AF b4 discharge cum again. pls Wat can b wrong?

By the way Sis, you went MIA on the weight loss / weight gain TTC Thread, hope you're still on the healthy eating and weight loss part. Anyways, By discharge I guess you mean creamy/lotion or pap like discharge. To me it just means that you're probably not producing enough Fertile cervical mucus. All you need to do is to take stuff to boost your EWCM production. Lemon / ACV Detox will also be beneficial.

Below are the things to increase EWCM and Veejay wetness.

Natural things / Alternative Methods:

1. Grapefruit Juice squeezed inside warm water. Drink the mixture and drink lots of
water during the day

2. Eat Cucumber and drink lots of water during the day (I've tested and it works)

3. Insert the Egg White of fresh and pasteurized chicken eggs like 30mins before BD.
Some ttc women swear by this to have helped them conceive. The Egg white part of a
chicken Egg is like the female Fertile mucus. but you must ensure is fresh and
pasteurized Egg to avoid infection. You can pasteurize Egg yourself by dipping a few
secs in boiling water. Please Google and read this method up if you intend to do it. I've
only tried it once, didn't get any infection.

4. Mix Lime Juice, 1 Egg into Lipton Tea and drink. This was shared on the thread and
confirmed by another Mama. This has reminded me to try it out. Will do so tomorrow,
I need to buy Lime. Note that lime is controversial in ttc so my advice will be to do only in Fertile window and stop after Ovulation. You can however take Lemon water all through your cycle.

5. Baking Soda Finger: Wash hands very well, dry off. Wet tip of finger and dip in Baking Soda/Bicarbonate of Soda (Not Baking Powder) insert into veejay once. Do this in Fertile window, 30-45mins before BD. It will make more CM for you, make your CM alkaline and very conducive for the swimmers to thrive and swim

Orthodox Ways

1. Take Evening Primrose Oil Capsules before Ovulation and stop immediately after
Ovulation. It can affect implantation or even cause early miscarriage if taken after
ovulation. Drink lots of water throughout the day.

2. Omega 3 ,6 & 9 (there's a Capsules that combines the 3 in one) take throughout
your cycle to balance tour hormones and increase mucus especially Fertile mucus. Drink
lots of water throughout the day. This is what my Dr currently recommended for me.

3. Use Preseed lubricant which mimics the Fertile cervical mucus and is safe and helps
the swimmers go up there and stay alive for ttc couples (if you decide on this, use half
the recommended quantity otherwise you'll be so wet and it will be so slippery that
your DH might not enjoy it.

fruityqueen:
Good evening all. Thanks for all the good works on this channel. I have been TTCing for a year and a half. Had fibroid op a year ago and my period ceased two months after. Doctors have prescribed many drugs no show. I just had progesterone injection n primulut depot 8days after to induce menses. My period was to come 20days after but it came 10days after. The flow is really heavy and m worried. I changed like 3pads in a day. 7th day today. Doctor says I shdnt worry but it's hard not to. Is there any1 in the room with such experience? Kindly help or advice....

Sorry Dear. But do you have PCOS? Am just wondering what could have caused the delay in getting back your period. Well now that it's back, I don't think 3 pads a day is very heavy and something to worry about, it could also be because it was an induced period. As for the length, my 1st period after my Myomectomy lasted for 9days and most of it was very heavy, I also had backache, cramps and fever. It wasn't delayed though, I got it right on point. 2nd period post op was way better than the 1st, then the 3rd period was the best. Nice regular flow, no pains, no bloating, no pimples, just 4days & 2 days very light spotting when I wipe. Just wait it out and see but complain to your Dr if it continues being very heavy to perhaps the 9th/10th day and if you feel weakness or fatigue.

BeeBlossoms:
Hello everyone,

Hope your day went well
I have been a silent follower for about 2 weeks now, been able to go through almost 1500 pages and I must say I love this group
Quick TTC history, I conceived 6 months after my wedding in April, that's October, but lost it in December 2014 and since then, nothing. I have steady 28 day cycle, done hsg and hormonal tests, all clear, do's last SFA was 23 million per ml, and 70% motility and normal cells, confused o, and I have tried most of the things I have read on this group already sef, any advice?

Amen @nazablossom

Sorry for your loss, my advice will be to do a Pelvic Scan to be sure that all is good in there that's if you haven't done so already. Do an uterine Cleanse with Clean Point Tampon or Guaifebao. Then let your hubby eat fruits and veggies. Plenty Cucumbers and Tiger nut. BD every other day and once in your Fertile window, BD everyday and if possible morning and night. You can also do a body detox by drinking Lemon water or ACV. Above all Pray.

fvine I'm here o. been on dreamland thinking I Ws 65kg only to check xdy and saw 70kg. obesity things loading. choi see my life.
I don vex jare, I start egg diet tooday, cooked 4eggs, don chop 2 alrdy, Oboy hunger wan kill me, bt I refuse to giv up oo.
any oda tin to Mk it hapen fast? I'm on metformin tho Hp it's not wrong to be on metformin and just eggs

Lol @ obesity things loading. it can't be that bad. it's just 5kg from your original thought. Anyway hope you lasted through the day? You shouldn't go hungry oh, if you're hungry please eat more eggs and the corresponding tablespoon of Fat. Yes you can be on the Metformin while doing the EF. My Dr has insisted that I go back to Metformin at a reduced dosage and stay on it for a while longer before upping the dosage. I hate the Nausea and Fatigue, that's the only side effect I have for now. The abdominal cramps from hell are gone. I've had a very Fatigue Filled Day and night. Hoping to wake up feeling better tomorrow.

Fumbaby:
How much did you get the omega 369? I couldn't get it here in ilorin.

Can I take omega 2and6 to replace the omega 369 for hormonal imbalance? Am already on bromergon

Cc fvine

Is there an Omega 2? I doubt it. I guess it's an error. You can check several Pharmacies in Ilorin. Omega 3,6,9 is fairly common and you should at least find one Pharmacy selling it. But in case you don't, you can buy online (Jumia, Konga & Kaymu).

CravingChic:
@Fvıne! I have started the cabbage regımen, the thıng don become bıscuıt for me oo,no tym for chere ka m bıa!

Lol. Please stop Vitex while on Clomid, read they cancel each other out. The tampons are not for CM oh. My advise will be Preseed. I've tried both Preseed and Robitussin and found Preseed better all round.

henmaris:
I have endometriosis. I know the site effects,had it for 3 months last year. I just had a laproscopy for endometriosis n now lupron to kill any remaining endometriosis. As u said it's well for sure.

Alright then. I pray for the best for you and that healthy bfp too. Amen.

Chyvia:
Dear mamas Pls help me torchlight this my hormone profile. Please don't jump and pass

Day 3
FSH. 9.7miu/ml. 3.0-11(follicular phase)
6.0-21(mid cycle phase)
1.0-9.0(luteal phase)
22-153(postmenopausal)

LH 3.2miu/ml. 1.0-12.0(follicular phase)
17-77.0(ovulatory phase)
0.9-15.0(luteal phase)
11-40(postmenopausal)

PROLACTIN. 34ng/ml. 5.0 - 35ng/ml

Day 21 PROGESTERONE.
40ng/ml. 0.2 - 1.5(follicular phase)
0.8 - 3.0(ovulatory phase)
1.7 - 27.0(luteal phase)
0.1 - 0.8 (postmenopausal)

Your FSH number shows that your Ovarian Reserve is good/fair. The LH: FSH ratio is OK so no PCOS indicated. Your Prolactin is on the high side of normal so I think it's best you work to move it farther down. You can go natural with Vit B6 or Vit B Complex and eating Plenty of Cabbage. Also add steamed Ewedu if you can. Let DH take it sofly with boob play. Your progesterone at Day 21 ( hopefully 7dpo or more) is high at 40 meaning that you ovulated well so no issues there, 40 is very high oh, did you take any Ovulation drugs?. I think in general, you have a good hormone profile. Just try and BD regularly and not just when you think you're ovulating. Although it's good to know when you're ovulating so that you can increase BD actions then.

Eumaca:
Well done great mommas. Pls can somebody help me with the natural combo to shrink fibroid or direct me to the former mentions. I couldnt find it. Thanks.

The trending one which no Mama has given a recent update on is an RCCG Midwife in Akure that gives herbals for Fibroid elimination. It's also said that you don't necessarily have to see her physically for treatment. All she needs is your scan result, payment and she can waybill drugs to you. Her phone number is 08034534610.

Other purported method that works is drinking Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother Attached ( ACV)+ Organic Unsulphured Black Strap Molasses (BSM) and doing Castor Oil Pack Massage. Lets know if you need more clarification.

Vanny2:
Dear Mummies, i decided to go for another scan after the watery discharge exp.
Here is the result.

The results shows you have Subserous Calcified Fibroids. This means Fibroids outside the womb that have turned stone like and no longer able to grow. I doubt if they're the cause of your infertility since they're Subserous. I think the culprit will be PCOS.

We've discussed PCOS quite a lot here and I think it's best you read up on it and start helping yourself. First step should be to run away from Carbs, take Omega 3,6,9 to balance your hormones. Also see a Dr to help you with prescriptions and if necessary Ovulation induction and timed intercourse.

Ayauche:
@Fvine: thank u ma'am, I knew I could count on u.
For better understanding, here's the result.
Volume- 2mls,
Colour-Greyish white
Consistency: Slightly viscous
Morphology: Normal-60%, Abnormal-40%
Fully active - 5%,
Slighty active-20%, Dead -75%
Semen Culture:No significant growth isolated after 24hrs incubation at 37•C. Will really appreciate all ur input as it will help a sister out.

Count is missing from here but I've seen it on your reply in another post. Since there's no infection spotted, it could be hormonal, Varicocele or atrophy but never mind so much just concentrate on boosting it up first. The problem seems to be count and Motility. My suggestion would be Fairhaven Fertilaid and Motility Boost or Addyzoa + Vit E. He should also take liquid milk, Cucumbers and Tiger Nuts regularly. Another alternative esp if the Fairhaven combo seems pricey is to first take Manix with Liquid Milk + Vit E and then next month switch to Addyzoa. Some of the ingredients on the Fairhaven drugs are also on the Addyzoa. Manix works great on count.

Adorablewifey:
yes you are correct, the total sum is 150k + 100+ 20k =270k for a cycle.
start taking prenatal vitmin(pregnacare conception) daily. Eat healthy, cut down on soft drinks, sugary drinks and no alcohol. Eat more of fruits and veggies. Try and detoxify(lime/lemon and water therapy). If you are on the big side, try and lossen some weight. Regular but moderate exercise. Most importantly commit it to God, doctors only treat but God heals. Keep a positive mind and visualize your baby in your womb...it works magic.

The N300k combo package seems to make more financial sense nah.

emm abeg make una no vex oo. I jus dey enter house. Greetings to all the wonderful mamas and papas in the house especially to people like @fvin and others who have been keeping this forum active. I have been on a very long journey but with time I will give the gist. for now I dey come.

I sure gonna love the diced potato in steamed salad. I'm a potato n mixed vegetables fan. Yeah will do home made fritata and watch out for the quantity I eat. I'm ttc oh,was just put on medical menopause yesterday with lupron so I'm on ttc break for the next 3months but in the meantime I have to shed some kg. My fertility doc wants me to be at a max of 29 BMI by june. He said though BMI of 29 is overweight,it's still a great size for ttc and with any +1 BMI above that u loose a 4% chance of conceiving ie at a BMI of 30 u have a 4%chance less than ur average % of conceiving based on ur age and if u r 31BMI its an 8%chance less n so on. So I have to keep working on my weight till I c my doc in june for treatment plan to carry my twins/triplets.
All the best to everyone.

I know that being overweight reduces chances of conception but didn't know about the BMI thingy and the percentages. Thanks for sharing. Just keep keeping on and you'll get there.

Just wondering, why the Lupron Shot? Do you have Endometriosis or Fibroids? Will love to know the reason just for my knowledge and learning. I got the Lupron Shot before my Myomectomy to help shrink the Fibroids, reduce damage to the uterine lining, prepare the lining so that I don't bleed much during surgery. But I do know that it's also used in the management of Endometriosis. But walahi the Hot Flashes I got from the Lupron Shot seemed to be from hell. But it was well worth it I must say.

Ayauche:
Hello wonderful family, how are u all doing? I have been MIA but missed u all.
Pweetymii my surest babe, thnx sis 4 checking up on me.
To all the newbies I say welcome.
All preggy mamas a big congratulations and I pray that ire akari gbogbo wa. Amin.
Plz mamas come to my aid, DH count is too low, kindly suggest what we gonna do. Am awaiting ur answers ooo.

Welcome back from MIA things, what about his morphology and Motility are they good? Manix which is usually taken with Liquid Milk plus Vit E usually gives a very high boost to sperm count. Like the volume boost will amaze you. The thing is am not sure it does much with Motility and Morphology. The 3 Fairhaven Combo, Fertilaid for men, Count Boost and Motility Boost is also good. Addyzoa is also another one. Bit whatever you do, let him be on men's Multivitamin. He also needs to be sure that there's no infection in his Sperm because infection affects sperm count. He can go further to get his hormones tested to rule out Hormonal Imbalance which is easily corrected with clomid or hormone injectibles. Another further thing he can do is Scrotal Scan to check for Varicocele. But even if there's Varicocele, he can still get treatment to boost his Sperm and achieve Pregnancy with it.

On the Alternative method side, Make Tiger nuts Juice/Milk for him to drink regularly, the Zinc in it helps with sperm issues. Onion + Honey juice also works wonders. Eating plenty of Cucumber with lots of water also boosts count wella. Let him run away from Alcohol, Coffee, Coke, Lipton intact anything that has caffeine or at least take in minimised dose. Let him take plenty fruits, Veggies and water.

Also see my above post to @ delor, the second paragraph. It would also help. Take care.

delor:
@Fvine, thank God coast is now clear na to dey score goals e remain. It will end in praise.

Ppl abeg, how do I prepare myself towards ivf. To increase my chances. Abeg I don tire for ds fluid count way we dey try boost. D yeye thing just dey go up and down. All d up sef no gree reach 20m and time dey waka. I tire and its really discouraging. Haba.

Why not go for IUI first before IVF. To prepare yourself, i'd just say you should a Fertility detox including treatment for infections, also do a Uterine Cleanse with Guaifebao or Clean Point. Begin now to eliminate Sugar, refined carbs and cut down on your carbs, learn to drink plenty of water, eat Veggies and fruits. Ditch caffeine which means Coke, Lipton, Coffee and of course alcohol. Before embryo transfer, if your body is not feeling too good, you can maybe postpone the process and get them to freeze and you do frozen transfer the following month ie where you have the money for freezing sha. Above all pray well well well, because sometimes even with all things being equal, IVF still fails.

On the other hand, you can still conceive with the poor sperm count, while he continues boosting, try to make love every other day and in your Fertile window, make love everyday and if possible morning and night. This will help the low sperm to continue storing in your body and at the end of the day, add up to a high quantity to make the race for the Egg. This is as taught by my Dr.

ejimikeokwu:
mamas in the house pls I need your help and advice fvine, 4realwoman and other mama's pls don't read and pass. TTC has dealt with me, Jan. 5th. was my 3rd yr wedding anniversary few weeks after wedding I went back to school and dh was in another state. I used to miss him so much that even in the dream I will be having sex, I never thought it was an attack so when I told him we decided to be seeing each other at most 2 months. but it didn't stop the attack, July 2014 I was diagnosed of fibroid but insignificant and dh low sperm count and low motility was place on drug and was certified OK last yr. but in me I know that the above mentioned reports was not really the cause of our infertility I believe is spiritual. In a bid to overcome this I have been fasting praying going for deliverance but all to no avail so i decided to remove my mind in any thing sex and it had been working but in the other hand I don't respond to sex again as I used to and don't even allow my dh to touch those places that usually makes me wet he only climb and come down. this morning he accused me of infidelity and I don't blame him. mamas I need help to get myself back with out the attack occurring again. thanks for reading my long ranting but I am in a big mess. remember I used to complain of not being satisfied sexually now he thinks I started getting the satisfaction elsewhere. I love him so much that I have never thought of such let alone doing it. I graduated November 2014. and have lived together since then.

My Dear, first you need to sit your hubby down and explain to him, get him convinced that it's ttc doing you shege. As for the spiritual angle, pray and put it out of your mind, these things goes with the mind. Get into your sexy mode again,let him enjoy you. Apart from the spiritual which happens sometimes, other times lack of good sex / not having regular sex manifests in the dream when you're at sleep (a Priest who is also a psychologist told me so and I think it makes sense especially if you've tackled the spiritual part. Also try to get your hormones balanced because hormonal imbalance sometimes affects our sexual life, de-stress and do all that will make you want him like you used to again. Go back in time and think of those days and recreate the things and atmosphere of those happy sexy fun days. Flirting, sexy talk, sexy texts, whatsapp, sexy lingerie, him wearing only boxers you like etc just whatever that rocks your boat. Please maintain regular sex and not just when you're ovulating. Also don't let him know when you're ovulating. If you're having sex regularly, he wouldn't suspect or find out. It's well.

Graceyy83:
@fvine, my dear ur case is already settled. Awaiting ur BFP soonest in Jesus name. From ur write up, it seems Dr Ossai knows his job very well. Pls how do I contact d hospital?

Yes he does know his onions very well. It's best you walk into the hospital anytime Mon-Sat. You don't need a pre-booking or anything of that sort but you need to go early as its usually first come first serve basis except maybe if you're coming from afar. Which state are you in?

@ all, the procedure went well yesterday and all is perfect inside and I can go back to ttc from next month as the spirit leads. My Dr has insisted that I go back to Metformin (Glucophage) even if it's at a very low dose for a long time before gradually upping my dose. My problem with it is the killer abdominal cramps and nausea I get. That's the only side effect the drug gives me. So depending on how I feel on Monday, I'll either start an Egg Fast or go back to my ZC Carnivore Way of Eating which also includes Eggs anyway. Will update with whichever way I go on Monday

@ Chinwedym, how far with your Egg Fast /Festival? Hope you're still keeping on. In case you're not and have fallen of the wagon, please let the Wagon you fall into be Low Carb, High protein, High Fat. Well done.

henmaris:
Kudos to all the ladies doing Egg Fast. Congratulations on ur weight-loss Chyvia. Since the last time I posted I've been eating lots of cabbage,cucumbers and apples. Im just doing portion control but eating lots of cabbage and cucumber. My regular day begins with a cup of green tea, one boiled egg and a slice of wheat bread for breakfast. I eat cabbage salad (cabbage, carrots, cucumber, sweet peppers, onions)and a little bit of cream with about a cook spoon of boiled parboiled rice. In the evening I eat steamed mixed vegetables (same content as my launch but steamed to make a change) either with half a piece of plantain or potatoes or empty with grilled/boiled chicken/steak depending on my strength/zeal to cook lol. I eat cucumber or apple as snack when I feel like. My last meal of each day is by 6pm at the latest but I still drink lots of fluids (water or green tea) after 6pm.
Had an appointment with my doc today and I weighed 87.6kg, height 1.69cm with a BMI of 30.5 which means ive actually lost some kg since my last BMI which was at 32.3 in January. I've also lost 2.4kg since I took my weight last weekend.
Long post huh, let's keep the spirit ladies,we'll sure attain our goal.

Well done Gurl! Continua Continua! you're on the right path with your meals. Wheat is controversial for ttc. I don't know if you're ttc or not, just thought to point that out for you and for us all. But I wouldn't worry in your case since its just 1 slice of wheat bread per day instead of the regular white bread which is bad.

Try steamed salad vegetables with diced Irish Potatoes (mash up small inside while steaming), steam with little water, add small curry powder. I love the taste of it and it's healthy and filling. Just try out a small quantity and see how you like it. You can also make Fritata by yourself but watch the quantity consumed.

Chyvia:
@fvine thank y so much for your encouragement to us here. God will bless you so much.

I weighed today and weighed 90kg. I started last week Tuesday with 94kg. I have lost 4kg in 7 days. Will start on low carb and protein tomorrow.

@chinwendym 15 eggs is too much you have to eat not more than 6 eggs in a day

Congrats dear. 15 sounds high but might not be too bad for her 1st time. My first time I was consuming 12 eggs until my appetite got under control and I went down to 6-9 eggs. 6 Eggs is just the minimum, you can eat more than 6 as the hunger leads but everything in moderation. My advise on Maximum will be 12 eggs per day sha.

Continue with the good work, your body and health will thank you for it. Low Carb and protein is a good way to go. Add good healthy fats and oil to help satiate your hunger too. Exercise when you can or at least take walks. I love walks, aerobic exercise and dancing as good work outs. God bless.

Orente21:
No high temperature,am swelling cos of heat so I guess am warm. am 5feet.4inches tall. I wear size 14, bt fit sumtimes in size 12large. pls can u list some healthy low carb snack for me?

Ok. Hope you're feeling better now. Size 14 is not bad but can be great if you can become a comfortable Size 12. Using dress sizes is a better guage than scales although sometimes the scale does catch up with the dress size.

Low Carb Snacks:

1. Low Sugar Fruits and Vegetables in moderation: Pears, Apple, Watermelon, Oranges (1-2), Plum, Cucumber, Garden Egg, Avocado Pear, African Star Fruit (Agbalumo, Udala)

2. Grind Quaker Oat and use to make Pancakes, Meatpie, Chin Chin and what have you, just use your imagination to create stuff with it and go easy on oil too. For your chin chin, instead of deep frying, bake it. Don't sweeten with Sugar please. Use artificial sweetener. Stevia is the best although more expensive but very much worth it. But you need to eat in moderation because Oats have high carbs just not as much as the regular Flour.

3. You can buy and keep dry Tiger nuts ( Aya, Ofio, Aki Awusa) very handy. What I used to do then was to buy in a big quantity, wash with salt, rinse out the salt, air out to dry and then store and consume as the appetite leads. Am always wary of eating it straight from the way the Mallams tie it.

4. Protein : Boiled Eggs, Fish, Meat (Beef Jerky - Kilishi), Prawns.

5. Pankara : Pan Fried Akara. This is made using the regular akara mixture but instead of deep frying, you use this non stick frying pan, glace the bottom with oil and pan fry the akara. It takes just as nice.

5. Nuts : Peanuts ( Just a tiny handful in a day), Walnut, Almonds.

6. Sugar Free Gum, Sugar Free drinks. You must take only when necessary because artificial sweeteners are not so good and will most likely awaken your sweet tooth and keep sugar cravings alive.

7. Fat Bombs : You can use butter, flavouring like Cinnamon, Vanilla or Nutmeg to make fat bombs that will be just like soft candy/chocolate. You can even use these plus eggs to make low carb ice cream. You can check Google for Fat Bomb and Low Carb ice cream recipes. But like I said earlier, watch out on the artificial sweetener. It all adds up.

8. Unsweetened Yoghurt if you can find it and stomach the sour kinda taste. It takes getting used to but once you do, you'll begin to enjoy it. That's what happened with me. I was able to find a good one in the Fridge of a Supermarket near me.

Above all, learn to read ingredients label and nutritional information for Calorie content and Carbohydrates content in whatever packaged food you you want to it although my advise will be to stay away from packaged foods. Plenty hidden sugars and additives.

@ Mamakendra, Nwanne m irrespective of who is bringing the money and at whatever %, the husband and wife's name should be on the document. It should read Mr Emeka and Mrs Nkechi Mamakendra. Meaning that both your first names should be there not just Mr and Mrs Mamakendra because for your family and the world, Mr and Mrs Mama Kendra go plenty and if he puts only his first name without your first name, then remember that there can be plenty Mrs Mamakendra and you can't ever lay claim to the property. Biko use wisdom and avoid stories that touch, don't tell him it's because you're bringing a bigger share of the money sha. That's the way I and my husband have our names on the landed property we just got.

@ Loisemm, thanks for helping us count our blessings. Your name will be on that roll call sooner than you know it. We'll also join you to count your blessings too, Amen.

@ All, let's continue with all we're doing as humans and praying hard, let's pray that God grants us more bfps than what he has done in the past months.

@ iyafife, congratulations. may God grant you a happy and healthy pregnancy and childbirth, amen.

@ cravingchic, yes the procedures (HSG, Hydrotubation, Chromopertubation, chromotubation) are quite similar just very slight differences if you read them up them up.

@ praiseworks, Sugah, lynsunny and other Mamas, thanks again. I claim that bfp in Jesus name, Amen. Although me and hubby are still wary of starting ttc at 3months Post Op. We haven't decided what to do yet. We're still considering waiting till 6 months post off but we'll see how that goes.

@ 3greatnations, you're welcome. In case you decide to try him out and need further assistance, let me know. But in all, Just make sure you get to the hospital in time so that you can be attended to in time and leave in time too.

@ praiseworks, good to hear a good 2nd feedback on Dr Okeke of Sonex Hospital, Dr these days have found that infections sometimes are the only thing holding women back because immediately after treating infection,women get pregnant before further Fertility treatment is administered. Follow your mind and spirit as it leads you.

Goodevening my fruitful mamas . I'm about to derail the thread somehow but I need your kind suggestions on this
I'm getting married in a month time ,have like 4 more months to be done with service. I was diagnosed of pcos right at 16 cos my period has not been regular from the day I first saw it.Im very worried about when I can start trying for a baby cos my doctor said when I'm ready to have a baby I should come so I can be given drugs to induce ovulation,he also told that I can take in cos some women with irregular periods conceive on their own. I would love to atleast finish my service or like a month to the end before getting pregnant so I can at least get a job ,even if it's a small thing like teaching. I'm kinda scared if after waiting for some time before trying I might end up waiting too long before conceiving.
I spoke to my fiance about this and he said he would prefer us to try from day one but if I want us to wait then it's ok.
I'm bringing this here cos I know we have alot of mamas with good experience here,please I need your contributions and advice.Thank you for reading
please don't quote me ,thanks

DO NOT WAIT PLEASE. I've been there and done that. Experience has taught me.

You can start trying on your own immediately without any drugs, enjoy yourself, your marriage and honeymoon things and if nothing happens to when you're done with service and you're ready, you can then go to the Dr to start treatment & Ovulation induction. You can start helping yourself by losing or adding weight whichever your case is. There is no perfect time to have children, one thing must always come up. You get a job and then you see the need to work small and adjust before getting pregnant, you work small and then feel the need to get that promotion before getting pregnant, you get promoted and then feel the need to make more money before getting pregnant because it will be nice to give birth in US, Canada, even heaven and na time dey pass oh. This is all just my opinion though but take it from someone who has been there and done that. I also have PCOS too although I have regular periods.

I been wan sleep but this your post just clear sleep comot from my eyes.

@ all Mamas, can't mention all names. Thanks so much for your prayers, kindness and support. The Chromopertubation went well. All is perfect and Dr said I can start TTC once I get my next period.

So for the procedure, it was done today CD 7. Had 4 days of period and 2 days spotting so CD 7 was when the spotting stopped. I don't know how long the procedure lasted because I was under anaesthesia and my Mom went to somewhere quiet to pray so she wasn't around when I came out of the theatre. But well in the theatre, I told the Dr how scared I was and asked him to give me assurance that it won't be painful and that if it gets painful and I ask him to stop, that he will stop. He agreed to my terms and conditions and assured me that I won't feel a thing. While we were chatting, I was given an IV injection and immediately I felt the taste/sensation in my mouth and can't remember what happened next. Started coming to when I was being transferred to the recovery room/bed. I spat out saliva twice, felt and talked wonky funny, told the Dr that I needed to discuss stuff with him when I feel better and he said no probs he'll be waiting for me. I felt a bit sleepy but managed to get a nurse to call my DH with my phone. I spoke wonky and slow but he understood all I said. After about 30-45mins, the anesthesia wore off and I noticed they put a pad on for me. Also my left fingers feel kinda funny, am feeling slight backache like am having AF, am also bleeding slightly which the Dr said could last for up to 2 days. Now that's it. He sent me home with some pills, and an antibiotics injection which am to take for 4 days.

He actually said what he prescribed for me was Omega 3,6,9 Combo and not Omega 3,6 without the 9 like I thought. Am to let him know once I get my period so that we can start Ovulation induction and ttc.

Sorry for the long epistle, am I just trying to document to help someone. When my Dr told me about this procedure, I searched online but couldn't get any detailed info on anyone's experience.

Got home few minutes ago and need to sleep now. Will catch up on posts I missed and respond where necessay.God Bless you all.
