Dear is it d pelvic scan dat yuh did or tvs?. Cos my doc was saying am seven weeks gone but after I now went to a lab dey did tvs and d sonographer concluded dat am 6weeks gone. Sometimes pelvic scan may nt detect d foetal sac wen its early. It can only see d gestational sac.
rejoice03:
In other news I went for my 6th week scan yesterday and doc said he can only see a small gestational sac dat I shld come back in two wks time to knw if d preg is viable. He even said he won't prescribe pregestrone for me again but I convinced him before I could buy cyclogest yesterday bcaus dey don't have d pill have been using again in dere pharmacy. All am doing now is to thank God for d sac and I knw other parts wil join by d time I do d next scan IJN. Pls any mama dat has experience on dis issue shld pls share with me. I didn't realy get plenty response on preg thread.

Have been battling cough and catarrh this week, so I started Vitex, Omega 369, Lipton with lime,lemon and honey. Pls am I safe. I just got my Bfp today. Mamas pls answer a first time mum o, pls. cry
@fvine and every mama pls
You're safe Dear. Just stop the lime and lipton. Lime is very controversial in ttc and pregnancy. You can take little bit of lemon and honey in plain water if you still need to. Go to the Dr soon so that you can start on antenatal drugs which is very very important seeing that you're not taking any Prenatals.

If ur bladder isnt full it won't show well. Also transabdominal scan in early pregnancy may not show dat well in some pple

@gracechinwe I read d ewedu therapy u av to steam fresh ewedu leaves den blend it n drink. Don't add salt or potash.
Vit b6 50 miligrm twice in a day
Plenty cabbage shld b consumed daily. Plenty.
If ur dh use to suck or handle ur olympus he shld reduce/refrain frm it.
Generally mild exercise n healthy eating n ur supplements shld go hand in hand.

I also read somewhere in dis thread or ivf thread where dostinex worked for some1. She took 1 tab every week

Hi. Your values are within the ranges although your Prolactin is on the high side of normal. You may want to do Vit B6 and Ewedu therapy to bring it down a little just for good measures.

I agree with @ DonaTee. Dostinex has worked for some Mamas here. I heard it's much more better than Parlodel even. Am currently on it, just started and haven't checked so cant say. But my Dr said I'll be on it until I get my bfp. I take 1 tablet once in a week.

You can do the Ewedu and Vit B6 therapy as explained graciously by @ DonaTee.

Omega 3-6-9, Essential Supplement for Fertility and Pregnancy

One of the main suggestions you may come across as you explore natural fertility methods is the importance of a healthy diet. Eating foods that are natural and supply the body with essential nutrients is not only good for our health in general, but also helps to improve fertility and make conception easier.

There are many nutrients that are necessary for fertility that we need to make sure we are getting on a daily basis, essential fatty acids are one of those. Given the general diet that is found in today’s modern world often is lacking in these nutrients, many people turn to certain supplements to help provide these nutrients to the body.

What are Essential Fatty Acids?

For years it has been driven into our heads that fats are bad. We must eliminate fats from our diet to lose weight, prevent heart disease and more. However, what many people seem to fail and realize is that there are some fats that are actually good for us, and are in fact essential to our good health.

For optimum health eat essential fatty acids every day.

Essential fatty acids are three of these good fats. There are three different types of unsaturated fatty acids; Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are essential to the body. Omega-9 acids are not “essential” for human health, because unlike Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids which cannot be manufactured by the body, Omega-9 is naturally occurring because the body does contain the necessary enzymes for synthesis of the fatty acid to take place.

However, there are some cases where the body is unable to produce adequate amounts of Omega-9 on it’s own, so in this case a supplement is definitely beneficial. Since Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are unable to be produced by the body, we must gain it by eating foods that are rich in these unsaturated fats or use a dietary supplement to get the necessary amounts in our body.

Best Sources of 3-6-9 Essential Fatty Acids

The three best sources of essential fatty acids that will provide the different levels of unsaturated fats are borage oil, flax oil and fish oil. As each of the types of fatty acids are processed differently by the body and work in different ways, it is important to ensure that you are getting the proper intake of each.

Omega 3
flax2Flax oil and fish oil are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 acids have been shown to help fertility by helping to regulate hormones in the body, increase cervical mucous, promote ovulation and overall improve the quality of the uterus by increasing the blood flow to the reproductive organs.

Omega-3 fats also contain two acids that are crucial to good health: DHA and EPA. These two acids have been shown to help many forms of disease. Low levels of DHA have been linked to depression and other mental health issues. During pregnancy, a lack of DHA may be associated with premature birth, low birth weight and hyperactivity in children.

Omega 6
Borage oil is rich in Omega-6 fats, which can assist fertility by improving reproductive cell structure, decrease risk of inflammation and improve the condition of organs in the body.

Omega 9
Omega-9 monounsaturated fats are found in various food sources with the most amount of the nutrient found in olive oil. Other sources of Omega-9 fatty acids include fresh seeds and nuts, avocado and sunflower oil.

It is important to ensure that your daily intake of nutrients includes each of these essential fatty acids, particularly paying attention to intake of Omega-3. Dietary supplements can be found that contain 3-6-9 fatty acids combined or you can take them separately or add foods to your diet that are rich in these fats. For best results, look for supplements that use fish and flax oil for the Omega-3’s, and borage oil as a source of Omega-6.

By eating two servings of fish per week, you can increase your levels of omega-3s in your diet.

Omega 3 EFA’s help the body to:

Regulate hormones
Increase the blood flow to the uterus
Reduce sensitivity to the hormone prolactin, which can suppress ovulation.
increases egg white cervical mucus, which is needed to help the sperm reach the egg.
Helps your cycle to become normalized

Essential Fatty Acids and Men’s Fertility

For men, essential fatty acids can also make a big difference…

Fatty acids improve the circulation to the genitals, which help support the prostate and the other element needed for reproduction.
It helps lower blood pressure, which helps with erectile dysfunction.
Omega 3s are important to the production of sperm
Essential fatty acids and cholesterol are primary ingredients in sperm cell membranes.


DHA, one of the fatty acids contained in fish oil, has a significant impact on the viability and health of sperm. When there are not enough fatty acids present, cholesterol replaces the needed fatty acid in the sperm membrane. This prevents sperm from proper maturation. This, in turn, helps create more free radicals, which damage any healthy sperm that may be present.

By increasing the intake of essential fatty acids through the consumption of fish or fish oil supplements, the resulting sperm are healthier, have better motility, and the chances of a successful conception increase.
