Janix2:
Mumihaj,pls is omega 3 alone better than omega 3-6-9,pls send me the pix of it

Just wondering, why do you want to take only Omega 3? Why not take Omega 3 & 6 alone if not the 3,6 & 9 combo Mumihaja recommended. Even most Multivitamins and Prenatal contain the Omegas 3,6,9 I think. My Dr said the Prenatal he asks ladies to go for are the ones that have Omegas as part of their ingredients list. Although he asked me not to take a prenatal because of pcos and extra appetite and possible weight gain which won't be good for me.

@ Mumihaja , thanks for the recommendation. It might even be the Ova Boost or maybe some other drug that he has in mind. He said I can't start taking anything for the pcos now except the Omega 3 and 6 because of the recovery drugs am still on. He said at my 3months post op check up if everything checks out great that he can start me on a low dose of a drug, he didn't mention the drug and I didn't ask since am not going on it immediately. I'll just continue with the Omega 3 and 6 but will ask him about Ovaboost at my next appointment before that of the 3months post op. I won't want to ask him over the phone make e no be like say, you know now. @ Mumihaja , thanks for the recommendation. It might even be the Ova Boost or maybe some other drug that he has in mind.

At the Singapore treatment offer, all I can say is Wow! Happy dance for you. God sometimes uses people to bless us. Is he also offering to take care of the medical bills or just flight tickets? Hopefully whatever other costs he cant cover, you and your dh will be able to fund that.

But I'll ask that before you consider it and even talk to your DH about it. (you'll need to find a good way to tell him about it because men are very and more sensitive and private in these ttc things, well my own dh is). Think carefully and pray well for God to open your eyes and also give you wisdom on the matter. Hoping that there'll be no strings in any form attached to the offer later. And if you guys consider and accept to go, abeg my sister don't agree to collect any parcel to help anyone including your helper to help deliver to Singapore. Drug pushing comes in several forms a lady or was it a man now was caught with a bag of food stuffs with drugs concealed inside at the airport and her story was that a cousin gave her to give another relative in the country she was going to. Who knows what the truth of the mater is.

And please am not trying to put your mind off the offer or bring negative thinking, you're the one in the situation and knows the full gritty details. Am just this kind of person who likes looking at possible good, bad and ugly in every situation before taking decisions. May God guide you right, Amen. And please go with whatever your DH says if and when you discuss with him. No quarrelling if he refuses pls. This is just my thought, no offence intended please.

At Mumihaja, Janix2 and all the Mamas battling pcos, I asked my Dr to recommend a prenatal for me and he said he doesn't recommend Multivitamins for PCOS ladies as sometimes it over boosts their appetite which they're unable to control, they eat more, gain weight and worsen the pcos situation.

He said to prepare the body for conception just like Prenatal does, for pcos ladies he recommends, Omega 3 and Omega 6, Folic Acid and healthy balanced eating. Then once you get preggy, you can then start with the Multivitamins and other drugs you're given at Antenatal. He recommends starting antenatal as soon as possible like as soon you find out you're pregnant.

www.africanweightloss.com is a Nigerian website with forums and weight loss information using our normal African and Nigerian Meals like Moi Moi, Semo/Wheat and Vegetable soup etc. They also have some meal timetables that one can adopt for weight loss. The meal time table has various regular 9ja foods but with portion control. Some people there follow it While others just do various things, share what they're doing in the forum and just get support from other people on the same weight loss journey as they are. They also have a before an after thread where users post their before and after pics and give details of what they did to get there. They're all about natural weight loss with healthy eating and portion control. You guys can check out the website.

Please am not advertising them, I have no affiliations whatsoever and will not gain anything from anyone visiting their site. It's just one of those things I learnt in my quest to lose weight and keep it off. Like I mentioned in another post, I've battled with weight almost all my adult life at several points. So I've done several researches, tried out several diets and even several slimming products. So am only just sharing what I know.

@ Mumihaja, well done on your pcos explanation, you really hit the nail on the head. one of the major pcos cure / management is running away from carbs and losing weight if overweight. I have mild pcos and its asymptomatic for me meaning that I don't have the typical symptoms of pcos that you described. My pcos is only picked up on scan and my Dr said it's normal to be asymptomatic.

Being asymptomatic for me means that I have a regular cycle of 28days with just 4days bleeding and a day spotting but my Ovulation is weak/poor. This means that the Egg I release during Ovulation is usually poor, not crunchy enough for sperm to penetrate and if at all a sperm manages to penetrate it, depending on how poor the Egg is, I might end up miscarrying due to the formed embryo having chromosonal abnormalities. Chromosaonal abnormalities leading to miscarriage can sometimes be a poor sperm cell fertilizing an egg. This was the explanation my Dr gave me yesterday at my appointment.

Am currently not ttc due to open Myomectomy recovery but one of the things he recommended that I start taking for pcos and hormonal imbalance (I have both) is Omega 3 and Omega 6. He said Evening Primrose Oil is also good for Hormonal imbalance but cannot be taken throughout the cycle. Must be stopped after Ovulation reason being that it contains Vit E and I think A which is not good for implantation and early pregnancy. He said he prefers the Omegas which can be safely taken throughout the cycle.

He also advised me to limit my carbohydrates which I've already been doing since last year. He also said that once am recovered and start ttc, that there might still be need for Ovulation induction. When I asked him if he meant clomid, he said clomid is one drug but that there are other better drugs that can be used for a woman with pcos to produce a good egg during Ovulation and that these good drugs are even in Lagos and not readily available in the East so he buys from Lagos. He gave me the name of one of the pharmacy he buys from Alpha Pharm Ltd in Ikeja, off Toyin street. He said when the time comes, he can just send me a prescription and I'll go there and buy the drugs, do my lab monitoring in Lagos and send results to him and we'll just do it that way instead of me having to travel down to East for monitoring.

But he said in pcos women, its usually good to start on low doses of any Ovulation boosting drugs because we have the tendency to release multiple eggs. Am stating this information for women who are trying out Soy Iso on their own. Please if you have a clomid prescription, convert your clomid mg to Soy Iso dose and take, don't go lower or higher. If you're just trying out Soy ISO on your own, please start with converting the lowest Clomid dosage 50mg to Soy Iso dosage and then work up to a higher dose if need be.

Long Post (Epistle) lol. just want to share the full details.

Hello Mamas, thought I should share this for those wanting to lose weight and interested in diets that work. Here goes.

There's also another diet that I've done in the past that worked, I was losing about
3-4kg in the 7-8days of the diet. It's called the GM (General Motors Diet). General Motors developed it for its employees. Don't be surprised, I've battled weight almost all my adult life and have tried out several diets and products. I've even done the Lemon Cleanse /Lemonade Diet which I won't share because its quite difficult and not recommended in a month that you're trying to conceive. Enough purging for the Lemonade Diet but it works. 1kg loss per day. Tried it when I wasn't ttc.

Some did work but I didn't change my eating habit after the weight loss and I always
gain it all back because of that. I have a sweet tooth, love me cakes biscuits and bread : ). That was my mistake but I've learnt. I've weighed in 94kg at my highest and currently weight 79.something kg to 80kg, it fluctuates like that. I use a digital
scale so it shows me the points.

The GM Diet also currently has a free App on Android Google play store. Just search
for it. The diet is something like this:
Day 1: All Fruits of your choice (except Banana)
Day 2: Vegetables Only. All Vegetables of your choice except Potatoes
Day 3: Fruits and Vegetables except Banana
etc.

Hi, I know this thread was last active 2nd Feb but I still felt the need to post what helped me lose 14kg over 4months just like I posted on the ttc thread. it's called the Egg Fast Diet and did it for 10days each each and the days am not doing it I eat a Low Carb, High Fat, High Protein Diet. NO PURCHASE of any slimming product required, NO EXERCISE required so don't force yourself of you cant.

EGG FAST DIET DETAILS (Copied from the Facebook Group with some editions and
insertions of what I did)

*INSTRUCTIONS: READ THIS FIRST (this was created by Jimmy Moore, a 289 lb /
135.45kg man, so adjust it to suit yourself).
He called this his "egg fest" and yes we call it an egg fast because we are fasting from
other food groups.

1. Must eat eggs as the primary source of fat and protein. (no meat just egg)
2. 1 tablespoon of butter (Real Butter Squares found in Supermarket Fridges) or
Mayonnaise or Coconut Oil or Olive Oil to be taken per Egg consumed.
3. I must eat an egg no later than 30 minutes after waking (NOT COMPULSORY)
4. The egg meals ideally should be eaten every 3 hours, but not more than every 5
hours. (NOT COMPULSORY) Eat when you feel like it.
5. I will follow this schedule even if I'm not hungry, however I'll only have 1 egg when
that happens. (NOT COMPULSORY)
6. Cheese will be permitted up to one ounce per egg. (real cheese only). (NOT
ADVISABLE TO EAT CHEESES, can cause stall or weight gain in a some people)
7. A minimum of a half-dozen eggs must be consumed daily. This means 6eggs
Minimum and No Maximum.
8. The eggs will be local pastured eggs loaded with healthy omega-3 fats and vitamin
D. (this was his personal preference) (NOT COMPULSORY, ANY CHICKEN EGG IS FINE)
9. Egg consumption will cease three hours before bedtime. (NOT COMPULSORY, EAT
IF YOU'RE HUNGRY)
10. Diet soda (Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, Diet Seven Up, LaCasera Soda, Sans Cream Soda,
H2O etc) will be allowed up to 3 cans daily with a goal of 1 or less. (Don't drink this
daily if you can)
*there is not a maximum amount of eggs to eat in a day however like anything just use
common sense and adapt to your own needs.
11. Drink your water... 6-8 glasses a day minimum.
12. Keep up your salt and vitamins/supplements including magnesium & potassium. (I
wasn't on any multivitamin when I did mine sha, so just continue with your ttc
multivitamin)
** We add BPC and mayo to the list here as we are high fat low carbers here.
This may be difficult if you are not already used to eating high fat diets.
You should be fat adapted before you start. Which means you should already be
following a LCHF (Low Carb, High Fat diet) long before attempting the egg fast. (NOT
COMPULSORY, I jumped in from our regular 9ja eating)
Do not add vegetables or meat until you are done your fasting period. Fasting period is
a minimum of 3 days. 5 days to make it worth while. You can do this for as long as
1month just like Jimmy Moore the Originator. I did mine for 10 days at each time I Egg
Fasted).
Many of us are doing 5 days fasting 2 days regular LCHF.
For example, avocados and nuts have carbs. We do NOT add them in the fasting
days. We do NOT use bacon fat in place of butter. Bacon has added preservatives,
sugars, nitrites/nitrates etc. and it all ends up in the fat. Keep that for your regular
LCHF diet but not when fasting.
Please do not be afraid to ask legitimate questions though.
Some folks drink BPC in the morning instead of eating eggs first and that's okay. It is
all about what you can stomach in the morning and that's ok to adapt for yourself.

This is a link to his video of eating steak after 30 day fast losing 27 lbs.

BPC is bullet proof coffee. You can google it. It is adding 1-2 TBS of butter and or
coconut oil with or without a raw egg to your coffee in a blender. Some people choose
BPT (tea). I tried the BPC with one raw egg and its so creamy yummy you won't smell
of taste the Egg,won't even realise an egg was in it. I used decaff coffee sha due to
ttc things.
Cream cheese pancakes: 2 eggs, 2 oz cream cheese, cinnamon and sweetener to
taste. Blend in blender such as a magic bullet. Fry in coconut oil. Top with butter. I
make a simple syrup by melting xylitol with butter and maple flavor.
HWC is heavy whipping cream: not a part of the egg fast
WOE is way of eating
BPC is bullet proof coffee
BPT is bullet proof tea
Facebook support group is : Egg Fast Diet - Stall = Breaker ( diet ).

Eggs can be eaten in various yummy forms and yes only eggs is what you'll be eating. You won't feel hungry at all cos Protein is filling but just in case you do, just eat more eggs as there's no maximum you can eat in a day. When I started 1st & 2nd day, I ate 12 eggs. It's safe and no cholesterol issues I did a before and after lab test and even had better after results. Besides you won't be doing this permanently, once you drop of the weigh, you start healthy eating and exercising which will keep of the weight lost and may even help you lose more. Feel feel to ask me any questions. Am here to support.

99billiondollar:
Pls mama's i can't find vit b6 , i only find b12, is it the same thing

No. just like Janix2 said, they're different. Vitabiotics brand has a combined pill of both. If you can't find Vit B6 tablet in its single form, then look for Vit B Complex, check the ingredients list and ensure it has Vit B6, all the B vitamins are good for conception and pregnancy so you have nothing to worry about or lose. The side effect of Vit B complex is very yellowish urine. At least that's what I noticed when I used it. I think it also improves appetite just like the normal Multivitamins does.

99billiondollar:
Is there no one to answer me, hmmm

Calm down Sis. It's possible that the Mamas currently online don't have information about the dark AF question you asked. I myself also don't know but what I'll suggest is since its Day 1, wait and see what Day 2 will look like while waiting to see if any Mama with knowledge of the question will come by and respond. Namaste ! (Lol after effect of watching too much Zee World).

99billiondollar:
Fruitful woman, it is well with us, @mamas finally saw af today, hmmm it's well

It's really well with you. Thank God you saw AF some people's wahala is that they no even see AF and for no good reason (bfp). I'll suggest you begin to make mental plans of what you can do this cycle like increasing your Water intake if you're the type that don't take enough water,eating healthy, eliminating refined sugars and carbs, more frequent BD like the recommended every other day that is if your DH's swimmers parameters are good, changing your prayer mode from the normal asking to Thanksgiving mode. Before my surgery I was so anxious but once I switched prayer mode to thanksgiving, thanking God for a successful surgery, speedy recovery, speedy bfp with conception of healthy twin boys, happy and healthy pregnancy, I moved from being anxious to being excited. in fact from few days to open myomectomy surgery and day of surgery, I was so excited on surgery day like I was going into theatre to have a baby or to collect my passport with US Visa.

Am Catholic so in switching to Thanksgiving Prayer mode, I just started praying daily with my intentions the Chaplet/Rosary of the Holy Eucharist. I first thank God for my intentions in the manner I listed them above and then tell him that am dedicating the Rosary to thanking him for my intentions which I believe have been granted already just waiting for the right appointed time to manifest. The Rosary is basically saying 1000 "Thank You Jesus". Whatever your faith, denomination or Religion, I believe there'll be a way for a Praise Worship/Thanksgiving kind of prayer mode that you can adopt.

If you have current ttc issues you're tackling, continue treating them, have faith and lift everything up in prayers. I pray that this turns out to be your bfp cycle in Jesus name, Amen. Take care and God Bless.

mompurity2:
Congratz once again @fruitfulvine360. While waiting for the concluding part of ur what u did differently, I had a feeling u copied (learnt) this suspense writing frm the preggy mamas (BS) . Abi I lie? Lol.

May you carry to term in Jesus name.

she has concluded. check about 6 posts upwards this your post. She and her DH were treated with antibiotics with lots of prayer. Her DH's SFA improved and she also used Guaifebao. Read from the horses mouth for clear and other details.

Iomoge2, my soy power capsule. One tab contains 25mg of soy isoflavone

Thanks for posting. @ iomoge2 , that's the Green Worlds Soy Power Capsules I told you about. Since according to Beegurl it contains 25mg, you'll just take multiple Capsules to equal the dosage you want. Research it. I think 100mg of Soy ISO equals 50mg of Clomid.

oluwadamelola:
Thanks so much. fortunately for me, i woke up with joy in my heart. i don book space for HSG tomorrow afternoon and i begged dem to give me a pain relief before d procedure. i don also book space for church this evening for my ash wednesday. if i have my way sef, i go use the ash cook and baff. hubby wey i dey beg make we go church together wey dey make yanga, don ask me to come pick am from work make we go church together. i no wan judge but i knw say na him way of saying sorry b dat he go still do anoda thing. i don tell am say na lace dem use press him mouth for small. he no dey filter him words. na my cross b dat.

Thank God he's apologetic already. Abeg pick am up from work, endeavour to be early there and dont keep him waiting make e no be like say you sef wan do small shakara or retaliate, and also show him love. Since you already know that your DH is the type without mouth filter (no offense meant pls), just ignore whatever he says and know say na him way be dat, you can always find a good time to let him know that you didn't like what he said and it caused you pain. Pray to God for wisdom and patience. it's well dear.

iomoge2:
I read o.
I tried clomid once and hated myself
I was asking him for alternative
He said letrozole
But after I must have done 6 clomid cycles but he believes I will be preg b4 then
I know I can't bring myself to do clomid

I am still on d dose of vitex and metformin
Running on T mill and watching my diet then no more dinner.
Dunno where to get iso flavonoids as d pharmacies look at me like am speaking Spanish
Biko who has a pix, maybe I can show them
They keep giving me multi vitamins that has b flavonoids or so

After my days here, I shouldn't be caught with clomid Na. It even gave me cyst o.... Hian.

I also had the same issue with pharmacies when I wanted to try Soy Iso. I was finally able to get from Green World. Look for a big green world distributor shop and ask them. Green World has their own brand of Soy Isoflavones. Maybe talk to your Dr about clomid thining out your lining and see if there's a solution to that. I know clomid has been able to help some pcos women conceive. By the way keep up with your healthy eating and work outs, that's very good and helps.

The Green World Soy ISO brand is called Soy Power Capsules. You can even try Google to see the Pic. White bottle with Red abi na Pink markings. If you have no Green World near you, maybe try online like Kaymu, Jumia, Konga and the rest.

@ Oluwadamelola , don't regret telling him about your past. What if he later found out after the marriage, e go wan use that one talk say you deceived him or something like that. Am sure you've asked God for forgiveness, he's a merciful God. There are ladies who have done multiple abortions as single ladies and when they get married, they go on ahead to have children as much as they desire. if he's not comfortable with having your sister and mum in your house at the same time maybe because he'll feel crowded, discuss calmly with him and find out his reasons. And if its not absolutely necessary for your Mum to also come along then let only your sister come and you take care of her as she recuperates. It might just be that he feels he might feel crowded with you, your sister and your Mum on one side gossiping and gisting while he has no one. I hope I made sense with what am trying to describe. Something like having him, your father in law and your brother in law in the house. You know most times, the three might just sit in the living room and a gist that you'll have no contribution to my come up and you might feel left alone as you sit and look like Mumu or may be forced to just go to the room to lie down. Something like that. Don't let all of this bug you, babies don't need a stressed mind and body. You'll get a speedy bpf. Just go for your tests and be sure that all your reproductive organs are ok and if any issues (I pray not), you quickly tackle it. There's nothing too big for God.

fruitfulvine360:
Beautiful nd fruitful mamas, Ekaaro o., its confirmed I AM VERY PREGNANT!. Ds God is tooooooo faithful, despite my unfaithfulness. He has shown me mercy. Pls rejoice wt me.
#Weareallstormingdpreggythreaddsyear#
#ouryrofunlimtedbfps)

A very big congrats to you. Our God is good all the time. I pray for a healthy and happy pregnancy for you and a bouncing healthy baby. Na so we all go port to Preggy thread this year in Jesus name, Amen.

Were you tackling any ttc challenge before your bfp? If yes pls state the challenge and what you did differently in your bfp cycle. Thanks and Take care of you and yours.

oluwadamelola:
I really appreciate your words of encouragement. may God step into our situation and grant us all our heart desires. i guess the reason he is acting that way is because he has gone for his SFA and his result came out clean except for an infection which he has treated. i am also praying that when God answers my prayer, i should not hate him for what he is making me go through. i will book an appointment for the HSG today and probably go for it tomorrow.

My dear. Perhaps that's why he's behaving that way. Forgive him so that your mind will also be free. Put everything in prayers like Mamas have advised. One thing that helped me with my HSG was taking Ibuprofen about 30mins to 1hr before the hsg. I felt no pain except slight period like cramps when the fluid passed through my tubes, both my tubes came out patent. And like a Mama here said some women get pregnant after having a hsg because it helps clean the tubes out esp if there was a little blockage there. A colleague of mine got preggy after her hsg thats after trying for about a year. so pls go for the hsg and if there are other tests you're billed for, do it and post your results so that Mamas can help you torchlight it. Don't let this make you angry with your DH because next before you know it una go begin carry unnecessary face and even lose out on quality bd times that can give you your bfp. Swallow, have faith, be happy and by God's grace you'll belefull before your anniversary. Take care.

iomoge2:
My doctor placed me on clomid.
Next appointment another 6weeks
Asked me to track.
And do sugar test
Pcos, weight n sugar are all linked according to him.

Your Dr is right. And the funny thing is once you get pcos from sugar and being overweight, it makes losing weight difficult. But losing weight takes care of pcos. The clomid he gave you is to bypass the pcos and make you ovulate good eggs. Clomid drys up CM so please get Preseed and use it during your clomid cycle. May this be your bfp cycle in Jesus name, Amen.

@4realwoman, to me the August result looks better, where did the fluid in The pouch of douglas come from in a space of one month? The first result said no fibroids but some masses were sighted and the difference in sizes in the second result is not really significant just some slight changes.....that's my lay man interpretation......

You're right. But she's actually not asking for the interpretation right now. I think she's reposting a post she made in September 2015. In a recent post, she said that Fohow products worked for her though she stopped using it at some point. so I told her that's its better if she shared her before and after results after using fohow so that the Mamas here can see and learn for themselves. The background to that was a Mama wanted to know if Fohow products works.

@ 4realwoman thanks for responding your post back then in Sept to show the difference after using the products. The August Scan contradicted itself though, after stating no Fibroids, it went ahead to state measurements and locations of 3 Fibroids.

However I did notice the difference between the measurements of Fibroids seen in August and that seen in September. It will be good to know if both were done in the same lab. And yes you're very correct. Medicines and other things done to shrink Fibroids that work usually take time and not sharp sharp like surgery. so if a product made a difference in one month then that product could be said to be good and working. Again thanks for this.

Well done Ladies with the Smoothies. Smoothies whether Fruit or Veggies pack a punch of nutrients very good for our bori's please keep it up.

4realwoman:
@Fvine, u can check my previous posts.

Dear I've checked your previous posts and can't seem to find the one with the details you're referring to. I only saw another post mentioning that the product worked and a separate post describing your fibroids. Let's not drag the matter though. Am glad it worked for you so any Mama can just feel free to try it and maybe it just might work for them as well. We all have unique body systems so what works for ones might not work for the other. There's no harm in trial and you just never know until you try. I salute you all fruitful mothers.

4realwoman:
I have used fohow product before and am still tinking of trying it again cos the last time that i used it, it work for me.i have a friend that used it for her fibriod but it didnt work for her and she ended up going for surgery last yr ending. So, what am saying is that what wrk for A may not work for B cos we all have diff body. The fohow product is vey expensive so i will suggest instead of going for guifeibao you can use clean point tampon cos it is cheaper.
JUST MY OWN OPINION sha. other sabi mamas go add more to it.

Dear sis, please don't be annoyed but I think it will be greatly enriching if you can state:
1. The exact name of the fohow product you used
2. What you used it for (Fibroids I guess from your response
3. If it worked which you said yes that it did.
4. The number of the Fibroids you had
5. Their sizes before using the product
6. Their Location (very important in Fibroids mgt, Subserous Fibroids outside the uterus usually don't affect ttc and are also easier to treat whether treatment is removal or shrinking) Submucous Fibroids is the number 1 Witch Fibroid that sits inside the uterus as if its the rightful occupant and won't even allow a baby rightful owner to enter, stay or have peace most times. it is followed by Intramural found on the wall of the uterus.
7. Their after sizes and/or if any completely disappeared
8. The exact way you used the product.

I believe this will help Mamas currently here and those who may join in future because believe me when I first joined the thread I tried to read all the previous posts. it took time but was interesting, full of knowledge and worth the read. A mama here shared her experience on Dollyham products, asked us to run away from it. she stated the exact product and the price she bought it and the fact that it did not work for her as her reason. Am sure the extra info she provided would help people if they come across the said product.

Sorry if my 8 point agenda is too long, should you wish to share all these information but don't have the time or facts now, please don't hesitate to wait and share perhaps by weekend when/if you get spare time. Thanks as you share. God bless you.

@ Sugah, iomoge2, Redeemed and all the other Mamas that clicked like on my long post on Fibroid shrinking, open Myo and hysteroscopic removal of Fibroids, thanks for the commendation. I no sabi bookmark things so can't help you guys on that one *laughs*
The truth is that I learnt and gained lots of knowledge, support, kindness and prayers over the years on this thread though at most points I was always a reader and not a commenter. Now that I have time on my hands due to my recovery period, I see it as an opportunity for me to give back to all what I've either learned here and elsewhere on ttc and my own experiences. I drop by several times during the day reading posts and sharing fully on any matter that I have knowledge in while any one wey I no sabi I go just jump am pass knowing that a Mama that knows will definitely come along and comment and if no one knows then surely she can just wait and talk to her gynae.

I know once I resume back to work I'll just turn to silent reader and/or short comments and likes except maybe over the weekends. I live the typical Lagos life so when this happens Mamas you'll know where I went and forgive my mia things. I don apologise beforehand now oh! lol.

enatasha:
Good evening blessed mama's, I trust God to answer each and every of our request set before Him this month. Please has anyone ever tried Fohow products for dissolving fibroid? How effective is it? And is it affordable? My gynaecologist said I can still try for a baby with submucosal fibroid but on saturday I was admitted for malaria then the doctor that examine me said it needs to be removed. Pls Mama's apart from Fohow products is there any other product that is effective & affordable?

On Fohow Products if that means Guaifebao Princess Pearl, a Mama here used it and it successfully unblocked her tubes but did nothing to her Fibroids. But her Fibroids are calcified perhaps that's why or perhaps not I don't know.

Am currently at home recovering from an open Myomectomy that helped me got rid of Subserous, Submucous and Intramural Fibroids. Immediately the current specialist am seeing saw the Submucous one he told me it has to go for me to get and stay pregnant. He said if I leave it in that these are the things that could happen, no bfp because it will stop baby from implanting, bfp that will result in chemical pregnancy because it will choke up implanted baby almost immediately ( I experienced this severally and even stopped early testing cos of bfp today period after 3days or I week later), bfp with a miscarriage at a later stage in pregnancy or by God's grace a full but rough pregnancy that will be high risk and need to be managed and monitored by a Dr.

Meanwhile over years ttc, I had seen several gynaes before this new specialist including one in a highbrow fertility centre in Lagos who recommended ivf for me and said the Fibroids won't disturb the embryos from implanting or cause miscarriage if I do ivf but then told me that ivf chances is less than 50% in the whole world, I couldn't wrap my head around it, that's by the way sha. So out of all these several gynaes only 1 after trying severally to help me get a bfp finally called my DH and told him that he has discovered that the Fibroids he initially said wasn't a problem is and that he's telling him so that he can help tell me and convince me to have it removed. Because of the way he changed his story me and my husband had doubts and agreed that even if we decide to have the Fibroids removed, it wasn't gonna be done by him because we felt he was guessing and wouldn't want him to also make guesses during the surgery. A 2nd Dr also said to get rid of it but the Dr resides abroad. Another person who told me it was 50/50 for me to get and carry full term with a submucous Fibroid is a Sonographer at one Lab that I used one day.

Before my surgery that's after I had it scheduled with the new fertility specialist I started seeing, I started getting cold feet/second thoughts/ feeling that I hadn't done enough to shrink my Fibroids even though I did both orthodox, herbal and alternative medicine, I came here and asked Mamas to help me recommend a product that they used that shrank their Fibroid and I got none. Instead Mama's told me that if my Dr have recommended surgery, that I should pray, commit it to God's hands and go for it and that's what I did. Some of the Mamas that responded with their personal experiences are:
@ Sugah - currently preggy about 1yr 6months after her surgery she said a colleague of hers got pregnant about her first try at ttc after her surgery
@ Redeemed who is just about getting out of recovery
@ Loistee who had her surgery in Sept and conceived in Dec
@ Wholesomegrace also has had a Open Myomectomy
@ Shofas who also has had an open Myomectomy
Mine was done last month January so am currently at home recovering fine.
You can read from page 1201 where I asked my question on a drug to shrink Fibroid to page 1204. you'll see my question and all the comments I received over these pages.

Am not trying to push you to surgery, its a personal decision that needs careful thinking and physical, psychological and spiritual planning. in fact at my pre op appointment which was 2days before my surgery, my Dr asked me if I was physically, Psychologically, Spiritually and all round prepared for my surgery and when I said yes, he said great. So dear please go for 2nd, 3rd and 4th and even 1millionth opinion (you get my drift) and decide with your DH on the way forward especially if you guys don't have any other ttc issues and have ttc for long. You could still try out some shrinking drugs you could be lucky and they work for you like many testimonials that we've read. But if after all this it boils down to surgery, abeg I'll beg that you ensure that its a Fertility Specialist that does your surgery so that the person will have in mind that the end goal is pregnancy not just Fibroid Removal. So if he goes in there, he would also take the opportunity to check your ovaries and fallopian tubes, endometrium and correct at issues found. My Dr took time and the opportunity of the open Myomectomy to torchlight everything for me. A mama here had Perifrimbal Adhesion on one tube end corrected during her open Myomectomy.

There's also the hysteroscopical abi na Laparoscopically Removal of Fibroids. This is done through the Veejay. Some Fibroids are removed this way but I don't know what criteria the Fibroids will have for this procedure to be done. At the hospital during my open Myo recovery 2 ladies did this and I think they only had an over night stay. one of the women I gisted with said she was already back to her shop selling and that was day 5 after her procedure.

Do not be afraid. God knows all, you might not have to go through your fears. Lengthy post am sorry but just thought I should share fully so all reads and plus I got time on my hands now too to be very active on the thread/forum. God bless.

@ Hotmomma if I join you ehn, everything on the plate with Abacha will disappear leaving you with only the green garden eggs for your lunch. Great Lunch. Am sure you enjoyed it.

*old mama*

This is saying halo from the other side just like Adele!

@Janix2, my sister we are on the same boat o. I've been spotting all through my fertile window too. The spotting is not quite significant, just noticed when I wipe Vjay.
The surprising aspect is the spotting is mixed with EWCM! But I haven't even felt the usual ovulation cramp since december cycle. So can't say for sure I've ovulated.
N/B spotting started like 3-4days after I removed a seed of Guifei. I also put a finger inside to wash & remove stuffs.

Pls who has explanation for this! Mamas pls don't go mute on two sisters here.

Pweetiebabe, affliction shall not rise again a second time dear.

Baby dust house

Don't know about spotting all through the Fertile window. but some women spot during O which I myself have only ever experienced once in my life. But if its not painful, mixed with ewcm and not causing any pain perhaps it's not a bad thing. Just note to ask your gynae whenever you see him/her even if it never reoccurs at least for the sake of knowledge.

Pweetiebabe, thank t God for his mercies

The devil is a liar

@fvine. Thanks for the info.
I also saw egg n grape fast but didn't find ruby grape to buy hence d stall.
Although u don't eat d yoke in this.
Lemme brace up and see if I can do this
Thank u

Ok. just brace up and try it even if its for just 3 days. Your loss within the 3days might be the motivation you need. Brace yourself up for longer throat for other things that you can't have during the fast, that's another side effect which I killed with chewing Sugar Free gum like Orbit, Mentos, Xylitol etc. but try not to overdo the gum and the sugar free Soda. I don't take the allowed can of soda everyday, I reserve it on very very strong longer throat days that chewing gum can't cure and on weekends when am at home bored and craving something sweet or something different or wanting to feel like am not on a diet. You need to assemble things you need before starting and plan, that's a great way to succeed. I started with 1 Crate of eggs and told myself after I saw changes on day 4 morning that I must not stop until I exhaust the eggs otherwise it will waste since na only me and DH dey house and he's not an egg fan. it was part of my motivation.

Also try and get creative with the way you prepare your eggs, don't do only straight boiled eggs, try Egg salad (boiled Egg cut up in pieces & mixed with Mayonnaise), you can also add Mayonnaise to your eggs before frying, you can also add Cinnamon & a little bit of an artificial sweetener, mix and fry to create Fake Egg Pancakes, Vanilla flavor also works in the place of Cinnamon. These are some Egg Fast recipes I used and liked that I can remember for now. Do let me know anytime you decide to do it so that I can support and cheer you on.

@ Pweetiebabe Thank God for his mercies, he's a great God. May God never allow on this thread this year, the announcement of any death even miscarriage of bfp's in Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Thank u mumihaj.
God bless u.

@fvine won't hungry kee me?
And is d yoke added?
How many kg can one lose in 10days?

Thanks much

Same thing I thought but No you won't feel hungry onebit, Protein is filling. there's no maximum number of eggs just a minimum of 6. Yes the yolk is part of it and before you ask, no you won't get high cholesterol, I did a before and after lipid panel test and even had better lipid panel numbers after the Egg Fast. The medical knowledge on cholesterol as we knew it is fast changing, you can Google and read up newer researches for yourself.

I can't state the definite number of Kgs but I lost 5kg each time I did 10days and then lost 4 in the last 10days I did. I did three 10days Egg Fast and lost 14kg in 4months that I did it. Am a slow loser though, on the Facebook group people report higher loss than what I lost.

The side effects I had on the Egg Fast is something called the Keto Flu on the 2nd and 3rd day. That's where you feel flu like symptoms like you're falling ill which taking Paracetamol once a day took care of. I also had no bowel movement for a few days which taking Liquid Paraffin bought in a Pharmacy took care of, some people report diarrhea which me I don't know what can stop or if it's advisable to even stop it since its a detox and weight loss diet. If diarrhea occurs best thing might be to endure and do the fast for shorter periods like 3-5days. You're welcome always.
