After spending that type of money to do IVF where do you expect him to get money for baby food

ravensckar:
Watch how SIMPS will be advising the man to be strong that "his wife needs him more than ever".

If reverse was the case, I doubt any woman would have advised their fellow gender to do the same.

Anyways, unless it's a court wedding, I don't think this issue is up for debate. Me I'll first secure my future by impregnating another woman outside while I and my wife continues to search for her own fruit of the womb.

Once a situation comes to "have faith" I weak, I wonder why everything is associated with faith? science and tradition does not require faith it's either do or die I wonder what state of mind you are talking about or is it because it has gotten to this level, It's always better not to know than knowing and getting advise such as these.

Anxiety about side effects can keep people from starting or sticking to drug regimens or medical procedures. A group of researchers at Stanford University wanted to find out whether a simple mindset shift could help patients tolerate an uncomfortable treatment. They learned that when physicians make the effort to reframe potentially unpleasant symptoms in a positive light, it helped patients to stay calm and persevere.

The researchers studied this approach with a group of families who, in a desperate search for relief from food allergies, signed their children up for a study testing the investigational treatment known as oral immunotherapy. Several studies show promising results for this treatment, which requires patients to eat gradually increasing amounts of the trigger food every day for months to teach the immune system to tolerate it.

The procedure is safe if done with medical supervision, but many people experience unpleasant — and very occasionally life-threatening — allergic symptoms. So it can cause considerable stress.

Getting her 8-year-old to make the mental switch from," 'No, no, you can never eat this' to 'Mommy really needs you to eat this' was terrifying," recalls Jessika Welcome, whose two daughters were diagnosed with peanut allergies as toddlers. The San Francisco Bay Area mother first fed her younger daughter the trigger food — a trace of peanut flour mixed into applesauce — when she entered a research study at Stanford in early 2017.

Welcome thought the study was testing the effectiveness of the food allergy treatment. In fact, it was designed by psychologists who wanted to see whether shifting the way patients view side effects could ease anxiety and improve the treatment experience.

When it comes to treatment-related symptoms — let's say, a fever — "we often think of it as this uncomfortable thing we just have to deal with," says Stanford psychology postdoc Lauren Howe, who was first author on the study published Jan. 22 in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice. "But often symptoms can be associated with healing or treatment progress."

In oral immunotherapy studies, many patients complain of occasional mouth itchiness, stomach pain, hives, vomiting or other symptoms. The symptoms are almost always not life-threatening. Yet in more than a decade of studies, nearly a fifth drop out of these trials because of symptom-related stress, notes Dr. Brian Vickery, an allergist-immunologist at Emory University who was not involved with the new research. He says it's "important context and why [the mindset study] is so interesting and unique."

The research was led by psychologist Alia Crum, principal investigator of Stanford's Mind and Body Lab. It's the latest in the lab's growing body of studies looking at how mindset and social factors influence physical health. According to a study Crum published in 2017, just feeling that you're less fit than others could shave years of your life, and her 2014 research shows how what we read on food labels can affect the way our bodies process food.

The effect of a new treatment "is not just the pharmaceutical substance. It's a combined product of that substance and our mindsets — our beliefs about the nature of the illness and our body's ability to tolerate and to feel," Crum says. "Our work is trying to systematically understand what those forces are and to rigorously and scientifically test the impact of those forces."

The current study enrolled 50 local children with diagnosed peanut allergies. Each family purchased peanut flour for at-home dosing. Participants started by consuming a mere 1.3 milligrams of peanut protein per day — "literally a speck of peanut on the tiniest spoons you've ever seen," says Welcome, who stirred her daughter's doses into applesauce at first, then put them into whipped cream and melted chocolate chips. The dose went up every two weeks, transitioning from peanut flour to actual peanut segments after a few months, and reaching a full peanut (240 milligrams) each day by the end of the 24-week trial.

The study randomly assigned families into two groups. Both groups received instruction on symptoms and medication use. They learned to distinguish non-life-threatening symptoms from potentially serious ones and at what point to contact a doctor, call 911 or administer epinephrine, an injectable medication for severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reactions.


Each day families completed a short online survey to report how the dose went, what time it was taken, whether symptoms developed, and how anxious they were about the symptoms. Throughout the study parents had monthly calls with a support team and had a direct line to Stanford immunologist Dr. Kari Nadeau, director of the Sean N. Parker Center for Allergy & Asthma Research, which has served as a trial site for companies developing peanut allergy treatments. In addition, families came to the clinic once a month for facilitated support sessions with other participants.

The two groups differed in just one regard. One group was told that symptoms can be an unfortunate side effect of treatment. But with the other group, session leaders reframed the message on symptoms, saying they could be a sign that the immune system is learning to desensitize — a positive signal that the treatment is working.

At the monthly sessions, parents in the "positive signals" group were asked to come up with creative ways to reinforce this message with their children. Alissa Harris of Stockton, Calif., connected with her 7-year-old, Lucy, with a dance analogy: "When you were learning how to do the splits, it hurt your legs. But it just meant your muscles were getting stronger and getting used to doing the splits."

During the study when Lucy complained her mouth was itchy, "I would remind her, 'That's OK, that's your body getting stronger. We're fighting this peanut allergy. Just remember, your body is 'learning how to do the splits,' " Harris says.

Those reminders seemed to calm parents, too. Though both groups entered the study similarly anxious — more than half indicated they were "kind of nervous" or "extremely nervous" — parents who got the messaging that symptoms could be positive signals reported less nervousness as the study continued. They were also less likely to report symptoms, drop doses or contact staff about symptom concerns, compared with the other group of parents.

All participants reached the goal of tolerating one peanut by the end of the study period, and no patient needed to use epinephrine in response to symptoms.

On the whole, the results were "very compelling but not at all surprising," says Dr. Christina Ciaccio, a pediatric allergist at University of Chicago Medicine who has helped run trials for companies developing peanut allergy treatments. For years Ciaccio has given similar pep talks to patients receiving skin injections for ragweed allergy: "You're going to start seeing these reactions on your arm. That's a signal to us that your immune system is fighting, that the right things are happening."

It's cheaper..

Don't carry another person daughter matter on your head.. the journey you about to start is long. Best to give up now

You married and you decided to wait 1 year to be finding baby, I sense manipulation in that statement. Your wife knew she can't have babies and was manipulating you.

KobeMan:
We married A Year ago. We decided to wait for a year before having kids. We started trying 3 few months but no success. I told both of us needs to get tested. I did Sperm Analysis & the result is good, I'm very fertile.

She did pelvic scan, and in the scan, She has fibroid (Submocousal fibroid 5.5cm). The news broke me and I was very sad, I never imagined I'll be in this kind of situation. We went to the gynecologist and He told us to go for HSG to check her fallopian tube, The result showed that Both Tubes are blocked.

I've not been myself for the last couple of days. I had to pretend to be strong because She was down & has been crying as well. This are two serious fertility issues and Her chances of conception is very low. Even if The gynecologist tells us to do the IVF(Which I don't even have money for it cause it's vey expensive) They'll still have to remove the fibroid.

This are very expensive procedures that are not even guaranteed that it will work and She will conceive. I'm the only male child in my family, in my early 30's. Pressure will start coming from all directions and also considering my my age, I don't pray to experience delay with child birth. I just decided to pour own my mind here. I'm really down, I don't know what to do.

.....I paid serious shipping fees get that called Jinja herbal..it's just repackaged oroki herbal mixture....that shit doesn't work for anything other than constipation

Hotguy27:
Please be sincere. How long did you guys date before the marriage?

Most women are aware of such situation before their marriage. I knew a lady who was having fibroid and got married without telling the husband. Their marriage is about 7 years now and nothing to show.

You can divorce her on the ground of deception if she knew her condition before marriage and she didn't tell you. It is better that one person suffers than 2 people suffering such pain for too long. It might sound very brutal but just think about it.

Acidosis:
You started trying 3 months ago? No licensed doctor or clinic will attend to you.

Primary infertility is diagnosed/confirmed after one year of regular and consistent sex without success. After one year without success, you will still need to prove to a gynaecologist that you have been having sex 3-4 days weekly.

Whoever told you to go for HSG etc. after only 3 months of trying has ruined your family. There are certain tests you should avoid especially when you haven't made serious efforts to conceive naturally. Too much knowledge can ruin you. There are many women roaming the streets with blocked tubes and fibroid, yet with babies. Know what they did differently? Many of them have never heard of HSG or submucosal bla bla...
