JUMAYIN:
Hello everyone....to all the sabi mamas in the house.how can one differentiate between PMS and pregnancy symptoms? Especially abdominal cramps

yes they'r almost d same as @twintower said. Preggy cramps can even come on days u normally have ur PMS so u cn't rily be sure but one of d ways u can know if u'r pregnant or not even only few days after O is from ur CM (if u normally notice CM) If u guys caught d egg in a particular cycle, CM becomes dry/infertile after O bt if u didn't conceive dt cycle u may notice creamy CM (smtimes sticky) days after O. It may nt come d day after O o bt u'll start noticing it wt time as AF keeps getting closer. U can check wt ur CP too if u understand how CP works during d cycle. GL dear. I pray its preggy cramps for u n fertility blessings to us all. How's wkend going?

I nor even get any word for u @mariagrant abi wetin u call urself. Una nor dey tire Jobless fraudsters scavenging evrywhere on d net ;>

@zarammum i'm rily sorry #e-hugs my sister. Jst reading ur post got me depressd. Woah can't imagine wat u must be going thru now bt I seriously pray ur suspicions r wrong that ur DH is probably jst planning a big beautiful surprise for u, maybe for u guys' nxt anniversary or ur bday , anything; Jst positive smthing. May God restore love, peace, n happiness in ur marriage. Ttc's a big one on its own without this other woman misery. May God strengthen u more cos frm ur post u sound like a vry strong woman. Its well wt u my sister. Make God answer all our prayers vry soon ooo cos ds seems like another ttc complication. Continue to pray dear, my prayers r with u. Fertility blessings @all

Hello mamas n papas. Congrats @Abibby! Wow, such a blessing frm God. Tripple blessing I'm so happy for u sister. May u never lack provision to cater for them. Ur joy shall be permanent inshaAllaah. God pls ds is my prayer too ooo may God grant evry1 ttc ds kain blessing vry soon o so that as we've been sharing in one another's pain, we'll celebrate wt one another. Ameen. Fertility blessings evryone

Good morning my fruitful sisters. Hp we'r all doing gud. So I eventually went to National Hospital, Abj (thanks @slim4bush and @zeezzy) on tuesday. After my explanatn I asked d GP I saw to pls refer us to a Gynae bt he said we shld do wat he asked us first so he prescribed TVS, hormonal profile, blood test, n s.emen analysis for DH. Did d blood test n TVS yesterday, can't do d hormonal now cos yestiday ws my CD13. The female doc who did d TVS said I have bilateral functional ovarian cyst :/ , that I'm currently ovulating (been seeing EWCM since CD11), evrything is fine and advised we BD dt yestiday n for couple more days that if we conceived ds cycle it cld even be twins (cos of d "bilateral" na so I shout AMEEN o but she said dts provided my tubes r open, I told her i wasn't asked to do hsg. Na so I've been googling all abt functional ovarian cyst since yestiday o. Nw I'm having mixed feelings; i was happy after d scan yestiday but all d googling don confuse me n I'm very disturbed (actually cried small ds morning) dey'r saying it doesnt affect fertility n actually indicates normal menstrual/ovulation function but i'm worried cos i dn't know if it means my eggs won't be released ds cycle or smthn. Jst so confused n worried. Monday 27th was our 1st anniversary n ttc's really getting to me now ;(
continued.......sorry my tory's vry long na as e dey pain me o

Taking things a bit easy ds cycle over here jare cos ds (ttc) is def nt in our control bt we can only pray that God make it happen for us vry soon. So ds cycle i've been trying not to remember cycle day *who am I kidding? * no temping/charting (made easier cos DH nw leaves home 5:30/6 a.m to get to work vry early; has a PHd in workaholism. Lol) easing up a bit on d virtually "only fruits n veggies" diet b4 veg farm go grow for our head, n I stopped beating up myself ontop swimmers wey dey swim come down after BD instead DH n I wld laff n laff on how dry down below is lol. nw I'm only taking folic acid n B6 (nobody in my family ever planned dr babies or know anything called pre-natal anything n they'r always combining various birth control methods n strategies n my extended maternal family na woman ville o, I no geh brother sef.lol Hope I can follow thru wt ds relax approach I'm trying sha before I'll start obsessing again (minus say I took a hpt on thursday CD6 :| cos I've been seriously constipated for days n I'm weak like all d time so I jst had to make sure ni o no be say I be POASaholic o @Dasha its well wt u dear, u'll smile soonest by God's grace. Keep keeping on I luv ur spirit. As we'r encouraging, motivating n sharing in one another's pain so shall we celebrate with evry1 of us very soon mashaAllaah. Abeg no mind my tory o, i've rilly missed u all my e-family sticky baby dust

@Dasha01 Lol. Me I took it only 2 cycles o, but I've noticed the dryness like several mths before I even took d clomid. I'm thinking maybe it's d very often lovemaking that has turned to BD cos of TTC that's d culprit but I'm nt sure :/

Dasha01:
I tried clomid for 2 cycles 50mg on days 5-9 but it moved my cycle from 26-47 days each time and I decided never to use it again.

hmmmm who knows? I took clomid for 2 months n my CL got extended but not more than 2-4days sha. N I experienced even more painful AF with big, brown clots. But for me, no (obvious) side effects whatsoever n ironically it was on those 2 cycles I recollect ever seeing EWCM for abt 2days in my fertile period. Never get any EWCM nt even the cycle I took Robittussin n drank much water like fish during d day.
Pls does anyone know d cause for dryness down there all the time, even during pre-intimacy n BD? I dn't get arousal fluid at all

Hello mums n preggy mums in the house. Congrats on ur new blessings, may ur joy be permanent. Ur LOs shall continue to be a source of joy to u n ur families inshaAllaah. Ameen. So I'm jst checking in to share in ur joy while I await mine very soon mashaAllaah may God ease all our affairs in all categories; TTC, LOs rough-housing inside , pushing mamas in d delivery room, daddies waiting n panting at d delivery room door (lol), mamas on vigilante duty, everyone of us; may we all av cause to smile and thank Him very soon.

slim4bush: Juwonesho try national hospital

10x for ur response @slim4bush. I appreciate. Maybe we'll check it out den. we were thinking of going private cos our last visit to Asokoro District hospital wasn't encouraging at all; they didn't attend well to us @ all, dint have time to listen to our complaints, didnt give any explanatn/interpretatn to DH's s.emen analysis they asked him to do, so it was jst a dead end. Bt my concern wt private hospitals is unless u were referred, u wldn't know wch one sabi work or d 1s that wl jst waste ur time n money. We'll try national hospital then, hoping we can get attentive dr there cos we'r getting really bothered. Nxt mth it wl be our 1yr anniversary n I'm praying for a sticky BFP to celebrate. @slim, hp LO's rough-housing already? wishing u h n h term. Evrybody una doooo! No mind my long tory
