Infact i no gbadun the ewedu therapy , with no salt , and per say , my husband is an Igbo man , and i am Yoruba, he doesnt eat it

Ah! If you dey fear as a Yoruba gal what of people like us not from the Yoruba tribe? Am Igbo and so is my hubby but he loves Amala and Ewedu so much and got me eating it too. But I can't imagine taking the plain Ewedu oh. Imagining it alone makes me barf and want to vomit out my intestines

Chyvia:
Couldn't start the egg fast today but will start on Easter Monday.

Alright will follow suit on Tuesday hopefully. Good luck and keep us updated.

My dear I don reach here ooo, you won't believe what I was searching for using the search bar that landed me here lol.
Baby Sophie isn't up to 6 months yet.
I can just be hungry anyhow these days so I was thinking if I stop EBF, the hunger and eating will reduce. Will gradually start with your tips thanks. I hope I can reduce weight.
I also need special exercise for hand cos my arm is like "Christian mother hand"

favoredgal is right, you can also exercise your arms on a chair or bath tub if you don't have dumb bells. Stand backing a Chair or Bath tub, place your hands on the chair or bath tub and then press up and down squatting up and down. It helps tighten the arms too.

@Fvine in fact I have been thinking of using Clean point for General maintenance

Walahi! I know I started it but you cracked me up with throwing back the "General Maintenance" . But come to think of it, our bodies are like machine and will do well with Cleansing especially Uterine Cleansing on this conception journey. Am also gonna be doing general maintenance soon too.

Mamas , i got dostinex for 10k

If you're in Lagos, it's a good price. With this kind cost sef, Ewedu, Vit B6 and Cabbage is therapy is sure looking attractive if one can get over the green slimmy Ewedu

Pweetiebabe, Happy birthday dear.
@khloepatra, congratulations to ur aunt
@Fvine and Dazzle86, pls is hydrotubation the same as flushing.

Yes Hydrotubation is same as Tubal Flushing / Flushing.

Khloepatra:
My people please join me to praise God, my aunt just gave birth to 3 boys on Wednesday 23rd March, 2016..Am so happy, she has been trying to conceive for about 8years now until she was introduce to Trucare Fertility Clinic. She did the IVF once and got pregnant, she said the clinic is in Victoria Island, Lagos and it is affiliated with union diagnostics. Please help me rejoice oooo, God has restored all years of waiting and sorrow to Joy..God that did it for my aunt will do it for all those trusting HIM for children. Amen

Congrats to your Aunt, you and your family. This is best suited for the TTC using IVF/ICSI/IUI Thread.

Khloepatra:
Thank you very much..God will do your own. My advise to all those seeking for the fruit of the womb is that they shouldn't wait for too long when result is not forth coming. IVF is also a way out of infertility. I heard this trucare fertility clinic is really good, so goodluck to all.

Thanks for the advise but you failed to consider that IVF is definitely not for everyone for various reasons. Do take care and remember to advertise right and in the right place next time.

Pweetiebabe:
Yes o, its 25th of March again another opportunity for me to celebrate my birthday. .. HBD to Me, Myself and I

Happy Birthday Sis, I pray for a rain of blessings from God on you today and the rest of your life as you celebrate your birthday today, Amen. Go Pweetie, Go Pweetie and please party like its your party, cos you know we love you & you're already blessed cos it's your birthday!

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 zlime is controversial in ttc so if you need to do this regularly, then please use Lemon, I bet it will work same way. Lemon is TTC safe.

@ Fvine have you tried it? Pls. is it fresh lime that I need to buy or the bottled one?

Then for the egg, do I mix it with the yolk?

Yes it worked. I used Fresh Lime. I didn't measure it but added a good quantity that can be tasted in the Lipton.

Where have I been?
I need to read back first.
I there any separate thread for egg fast as I ve been seeing egg fast of recent.
Am weighing almost 80kg and
I need to lose 10kg or more but my problem is that am still on Exclusive breastfeeding
What can I do for now.
#Following#

I'll suggest you leave the Egg Fast for now, you don't want to compromise on your baby and Milk Supply too. Just go to page 66 and adopt the Meal Plans I posted there, they're about 4. I've tried them and they work. They're varied with 9ja foods. Then when you're done nursing you can still do the Egg Fast if needed.

Chyvia:
I am weighing 94kg and my height is 5'4inch and I need to reduce my weight. My target weight is 70kg and I need to reduce 24kg.

I will start the egg fast by tomorrow, I hope I am welcome. I will like to do the egg fast for 7 days and will be updating my weight every 4 days.

Welcome. Details of the Egg Fast is on page 64. Am happy to clarify anything if need be. May you lose eggcellently. Am starting next week Tuesday, Easter Meats can't pass me by

favoredgal:
My husband reported a 4.5kg weight loss as at this morning

I packed sweet potato and steamed ugwu for him his morning.

Egg fest over

Wowza! Congrats to you and your hubby. Nice meal but hoping that the Vegetables is the bulk of it and not the potatoes. Please feed him Low Carb intact very low carb so that he continues losing in addition to what he has lost on the Egg Fast. You can even try out the sample Menus I posted in earlier pages. They contain 9ja meals with portion control and works well for weight loss. Abeg keep updating us & inspiring.

Dazzle86:
I don't think there is anywhere where tubes are cut during myomectomy. If tubes were cut then the aim of the surgery to aid conception is defeated.

I had a myomectomy and my doctor did hydrotubation about 7weeks after surgery.


@oleayo congratulations ma. May God keep you and your little ones. let the BFPs announcements continue.

Please can you explain the Hydrotubation process and what it feels like? Painful, Painless? Any painkiller or sedation done?.

Mamas who have done Hydrotubation should also answer pls. TIA.

@ Oleayo22, 7 Gbosas for Jesus. Gbosa! Gbosa!! Gbosa!!! Gbosa!!!! Gbosa!!!!! Gbosa!!!!!! Gbosa!!!!!!! A very big congratulations to you. God will grant you a happy, healthy pregnancy and childbirth and shall make you a mother of Nations & your husband a father of Nations, Amen. Songs of joy shall never depart from your household, Amen.

oomiyale:
Evenin ma, pls can I do hormal profile at Cd 42 my period av refuse to come nd pt is negative but just notice tonite dat I av little water coming out of my left breast. Tot hormal profile can only be done cd 3?

I won't advice a hormonal assay. Results gotten from CD 42 will be off and cannot be compared to the ideal values. Reason being that these ideal values are expected values at a certain time in your cycle. The only hormone test that can be useful at this point in your cycle is the Progesterone test. I'll suggest you wait it out cos you never know, with the fluid coming out of your boobs, you could be preggy and not showing on Urine test yet. Pray and Wait for that awesome BFP or a happy AF to start a fresh cycle where you can test and have the chance of conceiving.Take care.

venizia:
Fvine biko this ewedu thingy, do i have to prepare it fresh anytime I want to take it?

I haven't used it before but I believe it's best fresh or not more than 3days worth refrigerated.

enatasha:
I wish I am in Lagos to get it..

Why not pay for the delivery probably through a major Bus Company to your location? Shouldn't CST more than 1k and it will still be a great score for you. Just thinking.

Baaby:
Hello my preety mama in da house, long time no speak even though i peep in every day to draw strength cos am very much addicted to dis forum like no man's business.

God bless all Mama dat keeps dis thread going, the Almighty God will not let u down IJN. All the mamas dat got their BFP may u have a safe carriage and deliver like d hebrew woman IJN. @imoge i use u as a point of contact for us all to receive our own blessing. IJN

My heart goes out for mamas like @Ivine, DonaTee, Sugah may the good Lord richly bless u more than u can imagine for all ur advise and support on dis thread. IJN Amen

i hv been having challanges trying to concieve though secondary infertility for past 7+ yrs now. formaly i was thinking the delay was as result of my huby's SFA test which was 1million with poor motility and morphology around 2012 when we began ATC again but his recent test is encouraging which is 17million with 70% motility. That prompted me to go for hormonal assay and HSG with i have been afraid to try.
So my result reads:

day 3
FSH 15.0miu/ml - (0-20miu/ml)
Prolactin 12.3ng/ml - (6-24ng/ml)
LH 7.4miu/ml - (0-20miu/ml)

day 21
Progestrone 14.2 - (2-25)
Oestradiol E2 74 - (50-150)
T4 54 - (50-130)

MY HSG dated 23/3/2016

The cervical canal and uterine outline are normal.
The right Fallopian tube is demonstrated to the proximal 2/3 with no free spills.
The left tube is not demonstrated.

Impression
Normal Uterus
Blocked Tubes

I was so devastated seeing this result as i am not expecting any thing like this . The worst of it all now is age is not on my side.
Pls my mamas do not read and pass me by because i seriouslyneed help frm u guys.
cc @Ivine, @Sugah and DonaTee.

Abeg make una no vex for me for my long writing. May God bless and Baby dust to us all. IJN. Amen

You're welcome Sis. All is well with your result apart from the blocked tubes. Recommended products that some Mamas here have successfully used for unblocking their tubes is Guaifebao + Gynapharm by Kedi and Clean Point Tampon. Give either of the combo a trial. Do not despair. The good Lord that made it work for others will also make it work for you, Amen. As your DH, he should continue to boost his Sperm. God will put a new song in your mouth soon. Take care and God bless.

Goodevening fruitful pple. Im here again ooo. Another tori don resurface. Was having plenty discharge which had very creamy colour almost very light yellow, after I came back from village Xmas. Wen I clean deep into my cervix mouth, use to also have light bloody discharge in the tissue or cotton wool I use. I actually bathed in the village stream during the festive period, once though. Don't know weda it was the cause. The discharge was accompanied with mild smell. The discharge was kind of gummy. The stream was as salt water and had little oil floating on it. It lasted dt January till ds March. Decided to run a test in a lab. HVS. They detected moderate growth of staph. Was placed on 10 days antibiotics. Four types of drugs. hubby also treated alongside. we didn't know weda we should resume sex since my ovulation fell on the 12th day wch is two days after the 10 days medication. So we tried condom yesterday and today, it gave me bruises. I have 26 days cycle. Now ds evening being the 12th day I said let me check my discharge again. Noticed I'm still having lot of discharge but clearer than b4 the treatment and no odours. I now inserted deep into the cervix to check for the bloody discharge. I noticed it came out with the wool and tissue I used.

My period ended since Thursday, dried up totally Friday. And since ds encounter since January, I have not noticed my EWCM again. Please do you have an idea what else could be the problem? Or what test again should i undergo? It's not easy ooo. Thank u all!

Ndo Nwanne m. But please stop inserting tissue and cotton wool up your vagina and cervix tip. You could be causing yourself harm by doing this. I don't know what the problem could be but my suggestion will be to go for another HVS to be sure the infection is gone. Sometimes these infections are stubborn and need a longer antibiotics treatment. In fact my Dr's antibiotics treatment for ttc is for 21days (IV Injections) whether you have an identified infection or not. Antibiotics and being infection free both from active and dormant infection is very key for Fertility. Some women get pregnant after a comprehensive antibiotics protocol. So Sis biko, go back to testing and to the Dr. Maybe you should also do a Cleanse with Guaifebao or Clean Point. Take care.

henmaris:
Im celebrating easter oh but will do so with yummy fritata lol. U right,will begin Friday morning instead of tomorrow evening.thanks

You just gotta love Fritata. But it can't be taken on the Egg Fast though. It has other ingredients, Potatoes, Fish etc but it's good and yummy outside the EF. Abeg enjoy your Easter.

shat01:
@Fvine, tnx ma. DH is OK according to d doc,my own pro is lack of ovulation. Abt d weight loss, I eat ofada rice with lots of veggie, beans,moimoi,acha,wheat,unripe plantain and I cook my food with olive oil and I do portion control. I also work for an hour everyday. I ve started eating anything o but little

Ok. that's good to know. Please ditch the wheat it's not good for ttc. Rather grind Oats and make oat fufu or use Unripe Plantain Flour. As for Ovulation, why not see a Dr to help with Ovulation induction and timed intercourse? Just my thoughts. I do pray that you do ovulate and get preggy on your own though.

Chinwendym:
Fvine please I've read back but I still need some clarification!
I can eat as much eggs as I want right?

Must i match the olive oil spoonfulls to the amount/quantity of eggs I'm eating per sitting?

I can't do that bullet drink o! raw eggs? Mbanu.
Any other option? Thanks sis.

Lol @ your Mbanu. I said so myslef until I tried it and it was yummy and had no eggy taste. It tastes like Coffee or Tea with Milk. The only draw back is that neither is good for ttc because of the Caffeine content especially if one is going above one cup per day.

If you eat 1 Egg, then you must also take either 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil or Coconut Oil or Real Butter or Mayonnaise whichever one you choose but it must not be per sitting. The important thing is that at the end of each day if you ate 12 Eggs throughout the day, you must also make sure you took 12 Tablespoon of whichever Fat. Sometimes I eat my eggs Boiled and then just drink the oil straight from the spoon.

Other Recipes you can try are:
1. Mix Mayonnaise into your eggs and then fry with Oil or butter. For instance if you want to fry 2 Eggs, you add one tablespoon of Mayonnaise to the Eggs and mix, then use one tablespoon of oil to fry. Some people say it's yummy, I didn't really like it though.

2. You can make Egg salad by cutting up Boiled Egg in pieces and mixing with appropriate quantity of Mayonnaise. Chill in the fridge and eat. Its more yummy if cold.

3. Egg Pancake : Break Eggs in a bowl, add a little artificial sweetener, add oil or butter (in appropriate quantity), add a dash of ground Cinnamon or Nutmeg. Beat together and Fry in appropriate measure of oil or butter.

These are all that come to mind now. You can invent recipes, just make sure you use 1 Tablespoon of Fat for 1 Egg.

Good day sisters, how una dey?
Please o my sisters abeg today is my 11dpiui yesterday I had some cramps and wetness down there I thought it was even AF but when I checked they were creamy discharge and this morning I just discovered my boobs are not sore again they have been sore since day of iui. Please what do you think? I ve been booked for Saturday for pt testing.

Any suggestions please im really going nuts now

My suggestion is that you calm down and stop going nuts. Also stop symptom spotting. I know it's easier said than done but you have to try for your own good. You could have had the very sore boobs from day of IUI because of the HCG trigger still full in your system, plus the Progesterone support. It still doesn't mean that you're not pregnant now. Some women get pregnant without any symptoms. CM is not even a true indication of whether or not a woman is pregnant. CM changes severally even in pregnant women. Just continue with your drugs, rest,relax and pray and before you know it, Sat will be here. Take care.

Alstonia boonei and Bryophyllum pinnatum-The ingredients

Ok. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks dear, I'll sure dash DH the cheese lol. Starting tomorrow evening. Will give a general update on everything. Thanks

lol. am sure he'll thank you for the cheese. why not start in the morning of any day you choose to so that you can count your Egg Fast days properly? Just my thoughts. You're very strong though to want to do this over a holiday break, well that's except you're not celebrating Easter for any reason. Good luck.

BMI does not tell u everything u need 2 know about ur weight. For one, it doesn't take into consideration ur Lean muscle mass dat is why wrestlers, boxers n body builders may weigh tons yet u can't nessecarily say dey are fat. Infact dey are healthier weight wise dan we ordinary spectators. Lean Mass is everything else that makes up your weight. It includes muscle, bones, organs, water, and all non-fatty tissues. But there is a gender difference. Thanks to much higher levels of testosterone, men have a greater amount of muscle mass than women. One pound of muscle takes up much less space than one pound of fat. So, as you exercise consistently and build up strength, your total body weight may not change on scale, this can be confusing (and sometimes scary), but you are gaining muscle, while loosing fat.
Gains in muscle mass will increase your metabolism, thus enabling you to burn more calories during every activity—even sitting! So, while you do want to lose fat, setting a goal of increasing your muscle mass will help you get there. This is based on new research because we Africans js know d old theories about weightloss n we remain there. Gaining muscle mass is synonymous wit loosing weight (fat), u rob Peter 2 pay Paul. Dts js d summary of all these english. It was js a suggestion 2 Favoredgal, I neva sed she must tke it. Bt I think her DH understnds d pacs thing which he is working on too doesn't mean it is nt part of weightloss. N dat really explains why he has lost more calories in 2days dan both of us put 2geda.

CC Fvine

I do know this. If you've been following my posts on this thread you'd have read me mention it and even the fact that the scale is not a good way to measure but that doesn't mean that the scale is useless. I wasn't insinuating that you were pressuring her to take your advise. In fact I think am the one who could have accessed of pressurizing her to serve him all his eggs with yolk, but guess what she still took a decision she's most comfortable with which is perfect. Here is a free forum where anyone can share their opinion and that's what I was doing when I said that it's not wise for a man to weigh 100kg plus especially if he doesn't have a matching height to go with it. You'll also agree with me that a man weighing 100plus who is trying to lose weight and egg fasting to do this definitely has a high body fat percentage and should be encouraged to ditch the body fat in a healthy way like he's doing. And believe me, you'll need to burn off body fat in whatever way before you can get and see body muscle definition like the 6 packs. Don't be offended, all I share is just my opinion and I don't know it all.

Am not trying to take away from your post or his achievement in 2 days, yes exercising may have helped him lose more (or not) but go to the Egg Fast page and you'll see men and women who lose as much as he did and even much more without exercising. That's the beauty of the Egg Fast. I actually lost 2.1kg in 4days of a very imperfect Egg Fast (lots of cheating) plus the fact that I lose weight slowly because of PCOS and I didn't exercise in any way, I was at home and slept through most of it.

Idobitches:
Pls how many days will I take cypri gold ,before I start seeing positive effects on my body?though am taking it cus I want my sunken cheeks to come out

No idea. But I must let you know that there are dangers in using drugs/supplements to gain weight. You can also try to read up on the side effects too. Such drugs are better prescribed by a Dr in the right dosage because they can have adverse effects on the body and Fertility too.

Here our approach and discussion is on weight gain and weight loss using food and natural methods. We don't advocate drugs and supplements for weight loss / Weight gain here. You can use Dates (Dabino) mixed with Cucumber to make a juice and drink. You'll add flesh and look refreshed. If you read backwards, some ladies here have tried it and confirmed that it works. Take care.

@ enatasha and loisemm, thanks for modifying your post. Hopefully other Mamas will do same once they're back online.

@ Rachie83 am still waiting for the 2 ingredients you said are on the drug. TIA . God bless.

My sis, this was the post I saw that made me try to advice u (with permission from u). To the best of my knowledge, this our fruitful daddy has not replied u here. dont know if he has thru mail. pls my advice is- do not try too much to help. So that it wont be mis-interpreted as scam or that u are choking the person. Most men esp are sensitive about ttc and dont like to discuss it in too much detail with ppl. I know u are the type that can go all out to help. Bless ur heart. Continue the good work but be alert to know when u should withdraw or minimize it. May our help never be used against us.

You did a good job of describing my person, empathy & over help is one of my weaknesses. Amen to you prayer. But truth be told, the fruitful Papa has responded to my mail and explained why he couldn't respond earlier. I actually wasn't prying because I do know that men are more private & sensitive than we are, I was just seeking feedback from him on a Hospital/Dr. Thanks for looking out for me and the advice, I appreciate it and will try to be cautious while trying to help.
