I and my sister's constant climbing on my bed to reach to my handbag's hanger in my own bedroom in the house caused the wooden board under my foam to break into two over many months ago though its hardly noticeable but whenever i lie down to sleep, it feels as if its breaking me into two with my midsection pushing down in the center of the bed while my head and legs stays on normal level.
I have never felt any pain before even for a second, Infact i felt that is a form of exercise to stretch and i was enjoying it.

This morning i woke up to the pains of Africa, can't move at all. Infact eh! My waist is finished, the lower part of my back is hurting so bad, mu younger sister ran out to but Ibuprofen and i took two tablets of 400mg at a go yet my brothers and sisters, nothing. I was told to lie on the bare floor which i did yet if i try to turn right or left i will be screaming off my head.
As it is now, fear is catching up with me because how can someone be having so much unbearable pains like this. Right now, it has reduced to 98% out of 100% since morning. I plan taking that Ibuprofen again but it may still not work.
Abeg is there anyone that has experienced such pains before and what did you do about it? I even tried to stretch backwards while standing, he he! It felt like i have died chai.. please oo make una help..
Tomorrow i will go to the hospital but for now, how can i reduce this pains?Hungerbad where are you guys? Help your fellow

Hello everyone,

I wanted to start this for women who are still waiting for a child, who have tried for a long time, have suffered miscarriages, still births  and  are trying to find alternative ways of having a child.

In our culture it is really difficult to talk about this as people are ashamed or don't know who to trust  and are just generally confused. I have suffered 2 miscarriages and i am still on this journey i believe that i will  be a mother some day.

We believe in Nigeria after 2 years  and no child you have major issues especially from your village but i know that is not always true.

So please come in let us support one another we can pray together, share ideas  seek advice and get advice  and travel this road together dont suffer in silence don't cry alone anymore let us help each other, until the day we carry our bundle of joy.
(My own bundle of joy was born December 2010 nothing is impossible with God)

hmmm...it means crop without seedsv

JANK23H:
Scientists say early experiments suggest it may one day be possible to make babies without using eggs.They have succeeded in creating healthy baby mice by tricking sperm into believing they were fertilising normal eggs.
The findings in Nature Communications, could, in the distant future, mean women can be removed from the baby-making process, say the researchers.

For now, the work helps to explain some of the details of fertilisation.End of mum and dad?
The University of Bath scientists started with an unfertilised egg in their experiments.

They used chemicals to trick it into becoming a pseudo-embryo.These "fake" embryos share much in common with ordinary cells, such as skin cells, in the way they divide and control their DNA.The researchers reasoned that if injecting sperm into mouse pseudo-embryos could produce healthy babies, then it might one day be possible to achieve a similar result in humans using cells that are not from eggs.

In the mouse experiments, the odds of achieving a successful pregnancy was one in four.Dr Tony Perry, one of the researchers, told the BBC News website: "This is the first time that anyone has been able to show that anything other than an egg can combine with a sperm in this way to give rise to offspring.
"It overturns nearly 200 years of thinking."
Those baby mice were healthy, had a normal life expectancy and had healthy pups of their own.

Fertilisation

The goal of the researchers is to understand the exact mechanisms of fertilisation because what happens when a sperm fuses with an egg is still a bit of a mystery.For example, the egg completely strips the sperm's DNA of all its chemical clothing and re-dresses it.
That stops the sperm behaving like a sperm and makes it act like an embryo, but how the "costume change" takes place is not clear.
Removing the need for an egg could have a wider impact on society.Dr Perry said: "One possibility, in the distant future, is that it might be possible that ordinary cells in the body can be combined with a sperm so that an embryo is formed."

In other words, two men could have a child, with one donating an ordinary cell and the other, sperm.Or one man could have his own child using his own cells and sperm - with that child being more like a non-identical twin than a clone.Dr Perry stressed that such scenarios were still "speculative and fanciful" at this stage.

Earlier this year in China, scientists were able to make sperm from stem cells and then fertilise an egg to produce healthy mice.
Dr Perry suggested that combining the two fields of research may eventually do without the need for sperm and eggs altogether.
Prof Robin Lovell-Badge, from the Francis Crick Institute, commented: "I'm not surprised that the authors are excited about this.
"I think it is a very interesting paper, and a technical tour de force and I am sure it will tell us something important about reprogramming at these early steps of development that are relevant to both fertilisation and single cell nuclear transfer [cloning]."And, perhaps more broadly, about reprogramming of cell fate in other situations."It doesn't yet tell us how, but the paper gives a number of clear pointers."

helpforcouples:
Reasons for sex selection could be medical, social or personal. In this interview, Nordica Medical Director Dr Abayomi Ajayi tells OYEYEMI GBENGA-MUSTAPHA how genetics is assisting couples choose the babies they want perfectly.

Sex selection refers to the practice of using medical techniques to choose the sex of your baby. Sex selection’ encompasses a number of practices, including selecting embryos for transfer and implantation following in vitro fertilisation (IVF), separating sperm, and selectively terminating a pregnancy. Sex selection is particularly relevant to a discussion on gender and genetics, because genetic technologies and services are used to choose one sex over the other. Sex selection has a wide range of ethical, legal and social implications. A significant ethical concern is that sex selection for non-medical reasons will reinforce discrimination, particularly against women.

There are three core motivations for engaging in sex determination and sex selection. It could be for medical reasons such as preventing the birth of children affected or at risk of X-linked disorders. For family balancing reasons, couples choose to have a child of one sex because they already have one or more children of the other sex. And gender preference reasons— often in favour of male offspring stemming from cultural, social and economic bias in favour of male children, and as a result of policies requiring couples to limit reproduction to one child, for instance in China.

Please elaborate on the ethical issues raised by sex selection?

Sex selection for non-medical reasons raises serious moral, legal, and social issues. The principal concerns are that the practice of sex selection will distort the natural sex ratio, leading to gender imbalance and reinforcing discriminatory and sexist stereotypes towards women by devaluing females. In some countries, such as India and China, it is commonly known that the practice of sex-selective abortion has resulted in distortions of the natural sex ratio in favour of males.



In addition, there is concern that sex selection involves inappropriate control over non-essential characteristics of children and may place a potential psychological burden on, and hence cause harm to, sex-selected offspring.

Over the years couples have been told when to have intercourse to produce a particular sex. How relevant is your Assisted Reproductive Therapy (ART)’s genetic to sex selection?

People have said all kinds of things about what couples should do and what they shouldn’t and most of them where not found to be true, this validity is based on the fact that specialists know that in the sperm setting (the chromosomes), one is higher than the other one.

That is why they say if you have sex around the time that your wife is likely to ovulate, that you are likely to have a boy. That is because the sperm carrying the boys are faster and are not as heavy as the sperm carrying the girls, so if you have sex then, they are the ones that will get to the egg.

But the problem is who can tell when the wife is going to ovulate? So, that is the problems with that. Most of the things that are said are like midwife tales — they have not been proven in real life. That is why we say the scientific way for sex selection is the best and gives guarantee. And there are only two methods- sorting the sperm or pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), as well as pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS).

What are the differences?

Genetic technologies for sex selection are available depending on the type and timing of sex selection and whether or not it occurs in sperm or embryos. The development of effective prenatal diagnostic tools, such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS), amniocentesis and ultrasound in the 1970s made prebirth gender identification a reality. In the early 1990s, preimplantation sexing of embryos for transfer following in vitro fertilisation (IVF) was developed, enabling highly reliable preconception sex selection. More recently, sperm separation by flow cytometry has enabled a less invasive method of sex selection. So, sex selection can be done through one, preferti-lisation; two, postfertilisation and prefertilisation; and lastly postim-plantation.

Sex selection by sperm sorting or flow cytometry enables the separation of X- from Y-chromosome-bearing sperm due to slight differences in weight (whereby X and Y-bearing sperm have a DNA difference in content of approximately 2.8 percent).

Sexed sperm are then used to fertilise the egg, either in vitro or in vivo (for example, through artificial insemination techniques). Preconception sex selection methods do not destroy embryos or foetuses and are not as invasive as prenatal or preimplantation sex selection.

Do shed more light on others?

For postfertilisation and pretransfer, as of today, the principal reliable techniques for sex selection are limited to post-fertilisation methods. The technique of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), employed in assisted reproduction before the transfer of embryos fertilised in vitro, enables blastomere biopsy of one or more cells from a developing embryo at the cleavage or blastocyst stage to ascertain sex. In contrast to sperm sorting, PGD provides nearly 99.4 percent accuracy for selecting either sex.

Still, because PGD requires in vitro fertilisation (IVF), the practice of sex selection via PGD has been primarily used by persons trying to avoid having children with X-linked disorders. So preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) comes in. For example, approximately 50 percent of male children born to women who are carriers for haemophilia will have this condition.

In order to ensure that offspring do not have this condition, some women at risk of transmitting haemophilia choose not to transfer male embryos following IVF.

Well, for postimplantation, sex selection through prenatal diagnosis followed by selective abortion has existed since the 1970s.

And lastly, established postimplantation techniques to determine fetal sex during pregnancy include ultrasound, chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and amniocentesis. In addition, karyotyping of fetal cells provides information about fetal sex.

These postimplantation methods of sex determination, followed by abortion between eight and twenty weeks gestation, represent the most commonly used methods of sex selection.

What are the success rates and can you relate it to our cultural background?

PGD is still IVF. When you are talking about success rate, the fact that we can get a particular sex through sperm sorting is about 86 percent, for the embryo to be a particular sex is about 86 percent, that you can get from PGD is about 99.4 percent.

What we can do to increase the success rate is to do PGS not only just taking the sex but to screen the embryo to make sure it is normal. So what we try to do is that at Nordica Fertility centre, we don’t separate the process of PGD and PGS. We advise clients to do the two together so that the chances of getting a baby from the process will be high. This is because there is no point transferring an abnormal embryo.

With PGS, after doing PGD, we are able to see that this particular embryo is normal and all the chromosomes have been seen and the embryo can become a baby. PGD is a little bit different from PGS, despite the fact that the procedure is the same; they are looking for a different thing.

One is looking for a particular disease, P.G.S is easier, If a patient has had a particular disease and wants to make sure the baby does not have that disease, you screen the chromosome that contains that disease and look out for it but you have not said that embryo can become a baby because you have not looked at the other chromosomes to make sure there is no translocation or no mistake anywhere, so by the time you now look at them well, you can tell that not only are these embryos disease-free but can also become babies.

So that is the screening which is more difficult because we are looking out for everything. That is what we call PGS (Pre-implantation Genetic Screening), while P.G.D is looking for a particular disease, i.e diagnosis. If you do PGD and PGS the chances that the woman will get pregnant is high, the factors we will now have to contend with are the factors the uterus contributes, not the factors that the embryo contributes to.

What are the benefits in this?

We can tell about compatibility in two people, for example, in genetics we use to say that one disease dominates while one is recessive. Two people who have recessive genes might not know but now we can find out if one has a recessive gene for a particular disease and if the person you want to marry also have a recessive gene, before you even get married. We can tell you either do not marry or if you are going to get married you need to do PGD.

What PGD is avoiding, touching of the foetus, hence the embryo is looked at before you even transfer and if it carries the disease don’t transfer there is no need for pregnancy. This is taking care of terminating pregnancies. Before we got to pre-implantation diagnosis, we used to have pre-natal diagnosis, the baby is already formed and you have a particular disease, sickle cell, for example two AS people married, and want to find out the status of the unborn baby. That is obtainable at LUTH.

Pre-natal diagnosis is different, the baby is already there, you now take a sample from the baby-could be either from the placenta or from the amniotic fluid then you make the diagnosis, to see whether the baby has that disease. If the baby has the problem now that you have a pregnancy already on going, you have to terminate that pregnancy. We can also test the sperm because there some men whose sperm would only give rise to bad embryos, usually older men because what makes an embryo not to become a baby is what we call Anopordy.

Anoporldy can be detected in the sperm as well as the egg. Anoporldy means there is an error in one of the chromosomal fluids, whether there is a delusion or a micro delusion or there is an addition, or something is wrong in the chromosomal arrangement, we can also see that in sperm, so this technology has helped us a to do a lot of thing with IVF, in fact we can use it for Endoneutron, to see whether the Endoneutron is at the phrase at which implantation is possible or not, don’t forget I said twenty to forty percent of failures in IVF comes from the endoneutron.

How popular is sex selection in your sector?

It is possible for us to select the particular sex of the baby, it is not illegal and babies from this process are normal and the procedure does not distort the quality of the babies as well.

The genetics is in short supply in the country. IVF is rather new and many people still don’t understand in Nigeria about the genetics and IVF because there are a lot of things that genetics has opened us all into that is not only sex selection. For example, diagnosing congenital abnormalities in babies without even taking samples from them- from taking from their mothers, we can know if you have abortion and the cause of the abortion from the tissue, because we can analyse the genes of the fetus.

If you have long and beautiful hair then it's important that you should take proper care, else you'll end up losing them. Due to the high level of stress and pollution, there's a high chance that you might lose your hair length soon.
Let's take a look at top 20 secrets to achieve for long hair, which will help you to take better care for your cherished locks.

1. Ensure you oil your hair at least twice every week. This is on the grounds that applying oil on your hair will support, nourish and reinforce the roots. Additionally it will rejuvenate dead shafts of the hair.
2. Set aside a few minutes for a decent scalp massage. This will enhance blood circulation in the head and thus fortify hair development.
While shampooing at least twice a week repair and hydrates your hair, using shampoo on every day basis can prove to be counterproductive and make your hair dry, frizzy and weak because of the high level of sulphates present in the shampoo.
3. While shampooing, try not to handle your hair roughly. Delicately do the cleaning at the scalp and permit the shampoo to simply go down to the hair strands.
4. Each time you clean your hair bear in mind to condition it as well. High quality conditioners will hold moisture and therefore shield your hair from dryness and frizzes.
5. If possible, avoid taking showers from hot water as it can harm your hair and result in dryness. Choose to take showers with lukewarm water and then wind up with a cool rinse.
6. After the shower, while drying your hair, you should do it as gently as possible to avoid any breakage. Pick a towel that is soft and tender on the hair.

By january this Year,the pain worsened.I felt this crusciating and sharp pains around my waist each time I sleep at night,and when I wake up from my sleep to take a deep breath, breathing in and out is always a problem because a very sharp pain like my waist is been chained occurs.
Am the type that always love sleeping on my tommy and I often sleep with my sides too but always find it difficult and uncomfortable sleeping with my back on the bed.the surprising thing I discovered was that I noticed whenever I wokeup from bed let's say in the next 5 to 10 mins the pains will be no more not even when am having my siesta.but at night I battle this pain. I have surfed the internet for informations concerning this and even told my friends about this.one said it Was high intake of sugar,which I know I consume a lot. the internet tips I received hinted on regular exercises,I have been battling this problem since last year till This moment.
I am pleading with the doctors in the house and all other personsn I need your advice on how to go about it because this lower back pain is killing me.
