For ovulation:
Bitter leaf,
Black Cohosh (Mamihaja dey sell, Also saw at medplus in ICM)
Also heard of Femara (this is not an herb, plus ask your doc)

For dry Vajayjay:
In addition to drinking water, primerose oil capsules Day 1-10 will help with CM esp EWCM
Or Preseed (prescribed for TTC) to the rescue, just that the cost go make kpekus to dey fear you. Cheapest i have seen is N7,500 from Konga, and you fit no use am pass 1 month, even with manage.

Me sef don turn sabi mama. lol

mamaibeta:
I have been away for some time, cos I have been depressed..and later felt I should come back on this platform. ur testimonies are motivating, and I strongly believe "my case is settled".
pls I have been TTCing for over 3years, and I av been to 4doctors. Right now, abeg I want to rest and be expectant for my miracle. Pls, how do I make bitter leaf juice? and how can I get vitex?
I notice I usually have dry Vijay, and got to know I dont ovulate every month (that's science anyway, not God).
I would like to stay away from doc's advice and do 'natural', also pray alongside. pls I need ur advice on what my hubby and I can take..
Bless u sisters...

I am interested in this, pls give me the address and/or phone number.

Oh no! You aren't bothering me at all. There is love in sharing information. The doctor is at Ebute-Metta, Lagos and yes, he called the procedure flushing.
I was knocked out during the procedure. Woke up after a while to find out he was through with it. Felt dizzy for some minutes before I got better and left the hospital(same day)

Please, feel free to ask whatever question.

That sounds like a chemical pregnancy.

missingribs:
after a recent miscarriage,like 1week ago I was feeling weak, neasea, sleeping Everytime,tender breast, bloating, frequent urination etc for my mind I began happy say God has console me again.....only for me to stay to see spotting 12days past ovulation (DPO) I think say na implantation bleeding.next day AF show.... I just vex put pad, thank God and move on......
so don't worry for everyone looking up to God,2017 I decree triplets into ur life.

Implantation on the way by God's grace. FX

Hahaha, sorry for laughing but 'vein inside the womb isn't breathing' 'Taking too much cold water' so funny! I don't have any experience with Ijaw women but this one sounds suspicious.
God pick our call so we can stop wakaing up and down and buying drugs oo

Your case sounds like a chemical pregnancy. I might be wrong though

Congratulations. Wish you a drama free 9 months

Oh my goodness! Our God has given me a new year package. I am pregnant. I'm still in shock.

We had already decided with our doctor that there was no need for time wasting, that if this cycle doesn't click then for the next we'll schedule for IUI. I just checked after a day of missed period and saw the two red lines. Our Lord indeed answers prayers. What I did differently this month were:

Ruzu bitters 1st day of period-10 days
Fertilaid for women(thrice daily) while hubby took fertilaid for men(thrice daily) and count boost(twice daily)
Used clearblue ovulation test strips. Once I saw the smiley we bd that day and the next day.
Joined in the 9-day novena to the Immaculate conception.

I was diagnosed of PCOS in July. I tried metformin and clomid for about 4 month. Changed my doctor because I wasn't comfortable with his extremely relaxed nature about our desire to have children,

My new doctor requested I had my tubes flushed in November, took tamoxifen and we still didn't get a positive. Before he suggested the above medications.

We are soooo grateful to God and by God's grace all of us here would have our heart's desire met by God. Amen

Nah, this is exclusive to we mamas. No papa is allowed, cos we dont want you cooking those spermies.

Cloth is saturated with castor oil, and placed acros the lower abdomen with hot water bottle/heating pad placed over it. It is meant to promote blood flow to the uterus, promote healing of any damages, break any blockage in the fallopian tube. etc. Heard it is also good when place over the liver.

dyabman:

*New this cycle: Black Cohosh CD 1-12 120 mg. Again used Oona Brand (yellow box for menopause), has 60 mg Black Cohosh, took 2/day. Also has small amt of Vitex in it as well 30 mg. Definitely had more progesterone/better/higher BBT charts with the Black Cohosh. First month I tried got a triphasic chart, next time I tried it (a few months later) BFP! See below study on Black Cohosh:

Black cohosh from days 1 to 12 improved pregnancy rate by 170%, boosts progesterone
Patients with unexplained infertility and recurrent clomiphene citrate induction failure, were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups received clomiphene citrate 150 mg per day (days 3 to 7). Group I received additional oral phytoestrogen (Cimicifuga racemosa - black cohosh) 120 mg/day from days 1 to 12. There was a non-significant shortening of induction cycles in group I. Oestradiol and LH concentrations were higher in group I compared with group II. Endometrial thickness, serum progesterone and clinical pregnancy rate were significantly higher in group I (8.9 versus 7.5; 13.3 ng/ml versus 9.3 ng/ml; 36.7% versus 13.6%, respectively). It is concluded that adding Cimicifuga racemosa rhizome dry extract to clomiphene citrate induction can improve the pregnancy rate and cycle outcomes in these couples.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18413068

I wasn’t on Clomid, (OB wouldn’t give me) but Vitex is like a very mild natural clomid, so I used above mentioned one.

Used an OTC Natural Progesterone Cream (Natpro is most concentrated OTC, has 2,000mg/tube, Pro-Gest only 450) 1/2 tsp 2x/day (= 160 mg progesterone had spotting/short LP) It's also not greasy at all and I was using a lot, so appreciated that.

I tried to eat healthy, but I didn’t eat all organic or vegetarian. Switched to organic milk/eggs though. Had 2 hard boiled eggs every day (excellent protein for building our own), had a powdered greens drink at least 4x/wk, tried daily, but forgot sometimes (my DD called it Fertility Barf!) I like one by Trader Joes, not too terrible. I basically ate a Zone type diet, but with more fat than allowed. Added avocados, virgin coconut oil for cooking. I don’t count calories. Used tofu as protein substitute, maybe once or twice/week. It increased EWCM if I ate it a couple days before O, but there is controversy over it being helpful or harmful. Randine Lewis advises it for Kidney Yin deficency, so I included it. No processed soy protein isolate though. Drank Grapefruit juice/ 1st half of cycle, as well as a small (maybe 1/3 cup, as 8 oz, has 700% DV for vit.A) carrot juice, all month, hubby too.

Another thing I did different was NO exercise this month. Since TTC I really got into exercising again, 3-4 times a week at least pretty high intensity. Later read in Randine Lewis’s book about how too much exercise depletes Yin (estrogen) and I think that was definitely happening. In fact I probably would have conceived sooner if I wasn’t so hardcore with the aerobic workouts. (I did this after reading some ladies post that they got their BFP after exercising DAILY, and that was what they did differently, but one lady in particular had PCOS, so maybe they had excess hormones which at my age I def, did not have) I also read about exercise neg affecting implantation, so at least maybe stopping after O would have been wiser. I read in Inconceivable about Julia Indichova jumping rope, and I had a rebounder so I did that every day to O. but month of my BFP. I didn’t work out at all.

Something I DID do to increase blood flow to pelvic region was to use heating pad on lower belly. I used it on High though some say low, and really heated up ovaries before bed. Sometimes I fell asleep and woke up sweaty, so time would vary, but usually 1/2 hr... Stopped once we DTD, so as not to cook DH spermies or a developing embie! Also had an orgasm daily. And no, at my age, didn’t always feel like it, but forced myself, thank you Hitachi magic wand. Hey, couldn’t afford acupuncture!

Had less sex this month too, only day before O, day of O, skipped one day then one more time. Used Preseed as well, but used this all TTC. Usually we start sooner, when CBFM goes to High, usually CD 9 for me. This month began later, CD 12. O’d CD 13. After we DTD, made myself O and slept all night w/sperm inside.

One more thing. This month, had ZERO caffeine around implantation time, (the week after O). After that I just had a few sips of coffee or green tea, didn’t finish my mug, just enough to get me going a little. I’m not a big caffeine drinker, but always had 1 cup of green tea or coffee. . Read that caffeine can slow muscle contractions in fallopian tubes transporting egg, and made myself do without. Had hot lemon water instead. Also ate core of one pineapple cut up, over course of 5 days.

That’s all I can think of for now, I’m REALLY tired, but today I am 7 weeks and praying I will go to term with a healthy LO.

PS Things I tried that had no effect or negative effect for me:

Myo-inositol I do NOT have PCOS, made my periods very light/short (= no lining) increased/more night sweats

Maca (1st it has to be gelatinized), but it seemed to dry up my EWCM the longer I was on it, Initially had opposite effect, increased CM, but after 2 mos. I was not getting much noticable EWCM. I lowered dose and was only taking ¼ tsp gelatinized powder at time of BFP. It did work wonders for DH sperm quantity though! He used Maca capsules with DIM in them.

Soy Isoflavones (these actually messed up my cycle)

The name of the herbal supplement is black cohosh. I just got it from mumihaja. I also saw it at Medplus at ICM yesterday.

Elixir123:
Thanks for this info ma.Pls is there a supplement that has black cohosh(I don't know what that is) and COq10? Wow Omowunminow congratttts ma'am !!Twins...A healthy pregnancy for you amen

@Omowunminow, congratulations. I use you as a prayer point o. (In other words, I tap into your bfp). Waiting on your WIDD like a hawk. May Allah put his Baraka and bring you to term effortlessly.
I wish you a boring pregnancy.

For egg Health:
Black Cohosh (Day 1-10)
Maca
COQ10
Royal Jelly
Soy isoflavones (maybe substituted with soya beans). Start day 3 for 5 days
Wild Yam (this promotes twins). Also heard Cassanovum supports twins. i will say, just eat fufu and garri. That is the staple which makes twins rampant in Nigeria. We even enter research because of this.
Eat Greens

Since eggs take 3 months to produce, any herbs should be used for 3 months to produce high quality eggs.

Elixir123:
Good evening all. Congrats to all who got their Bfp,a H and H pregnancy ijn.
AF just chose to rear her head today ,na wa. I can't help thinking back to my last MC and telling myself i would have been 3mths Preggy but for that.We have male factor issues less than 3million
Anyway,at least I know I can conceive. What can I take this cycle to make my eggs very sharp and all aside clomid?
Any thoughts ?

Let her take a test. For her to be feeling something in her uterus, if anything is happening there, a PT should confirm that.

curvilicious:
Mamas i need help for my friend she just married about 2months now

Recently she started wondering if she is pregnant cos she's been feverish, woke this morning with heat inside inside her waist.

Pls take a test first before using any medicine. Better safe than sorry.

@nneejima, wao. Just wao!!! The 1st wife must be a good person. God has a way of compensating goodness.

Wao. You cant imagine how this your story is sweeting my belle. Can you imagine some men! I am so happy for you. I wish you a H and H and event-free pregnancy.

Ifylicious:
You will smile soon and you won't believe that that's how God works. In my previous marriage, ex husband always threatened me with if he has given another woman the chance by now he would have been a father. I became scared dt any moment he may kick me out. I started running from pillar to post. Spent all my personal money on treatment . Even the ones described here. My family also supported with their own money. Nothing I did pleased him. My words were used against me. December 2015 the marriage came to an end. I moved on. After his mum started pressuring my father and uncles to return bride price since her son is no more interested in the marriage and we returned it in may. Already my neighbour has already told me February 2016 he brought in the babe dt made him divorce me and they are living together up till now. I started dating someone else. I didn't have sex until September of 2016. November/ December i couldn't find my period. Was still going about with work duties. I started falling sick. I said make i jejely do test and it was a BIG FAT POSITIVE. Mean while he has told pple i am barren after the marriage packed up jyst because i told him i had fibriods and wanted to operate on it. but he has been living with a babe since, no show yet. Relax in no time God will do it in ur marriage.

Did I also mention. His mother to will come to the house and be saying her own. I will be crying wen he says somethings. Every month I see my period back then, na so so cry cry that I won't be myself throughout dt day. Depression overtook me. Even with the four fibriods I have, I still conceived.

Have you been using any medication for your tubes and the fibroid? You might want to do an HSG to be sure of the tubes. It is well

Godanswerprayer:
house pls.d money paid for CD 3 hormone profile test. is it different from d one u ll pay for CD 21 for progesterone or u ll b asked to come on day 21 to complete d test. I was told today dat my blood sample dey collected today CD 3 can also b used to get result for progesterone because my menses is not regular and dat some of dis lab ask people to come on CD 21 because dey want more money. I don't understand dis people again o.pls i need an answer from sabi mamas and papas.thank u all

You dont need this pressure o jare. Please dont be stressed. It will come soon by God's grace.

Loisemm:
Mother Inlaw is getting worried o. This is not new sha. She called me today to ask how far...how body? How treatment plans.

She said, 'marriage without children is rubbish o'
'Women have time limits and menopause o but men can go on to have kids in old age.
'Consider your age'

Yepa... me wey still be sisi

Baba God, pls pick my call.

My sis, you had better not stress yourself. They say, it is more difficult when you are stressed. Do not worry, it will come sooner than you expect. Have you ran tests? You might need to run with your hubby so you know where to channel the prayers.
At this point, you should be trying casually, not stressfully like this. You are still in honeymoon. Pls shake yourself, put on some nice music and dance, do what makes you happy, move close to those who make you laugh. You cannot afford to be stressed.
Hmm my sis, you don't have any problem o, i wish i found this group when i was your age, not now that we don become mama for TTC. I pray almighty God answers the prayers of every single lady in this forum.
TTC isnt something i will wish on my enemy, but we cant let it win, and you feeling like that is making it win. Hold on to God and know that He doesn't make mistakes. No matter your history, God is a very forgiving God. It is well my sister.

Cubes01:
Good afternoon mamas. I joined this forum because i need a family that can relate with what im going through. I am very depressed. 1year 2months marrief and AF is never late. Failed iui after a gazillion rounds of clomid. I give up on me. I feel like just dying.

afagha:
hello Olawunmi, my enemy has fibroids too. I have been using a combo of prayer,apple cider vinegar with the mother and unsulphured black strap molasses everyday. i also avoid all dairy products.I saw a lot of mamas talk about it on this thread. If there's anything else , I'm sure someone will mention it.
I hope I've been helpful.

I heard vitex is good for ovulation. But I dont think there is anything wrong in using the 2.

mamakendra:
A happy and glorious Sunday to you mothers.

I just wan ask. Abeg, I have a very regular AF, but recently found out that i dont ovulate sometimes, except when induced. No prolactin ish, but a bit elevated progesterone. So, between m2tone and vitex, which one is more suitable for me.
Sabi sabi mummies, I dey wait una ooo
CC loisemm, iomoge2, in fact everybody wey know the answer.
Fvine & legendsmother how una dey? Be encouraged, it is well. This phase will pass, your babies are being perfected. I miss you guys.
