I didn't use any supplement. My doctor advised that I shouldn't use any medications this month. Her argument is that she want to monitor how my body function on it's own first before we take any step.

The only thing I did was to change my eating habit. (I heard it has a lot to do with ttc)

*So I cut out anything made with sugar

* Eat more fruits and vegetables (with exception of fruits high in sugar like orange, mango, banana)

*Practice food portion control (In the bid to lose weight. I am not fat nor obese tho, but I heard dropping few pounds can be beneficial)

*Cut down my carb intake to once a day
* Drink a lot of water
*Do some lazy man's exercise (On days, I remember)
* Take folic acid daily (Not religiously tho)


OK dear. Thanks 4 sharing.

Dear E-Sisters,

It’s a BIG FAT POSITIVE!!!!
I’ve been a silent reader for about 7months now, to be candid I have learnt a lot here. I would like to say a big thank you for the assistance, support, prayers, motivation and encouragement.
One of the mamas here prayed that this month of March there will be good testimonies and I claimed it.
Everywomen here our wombs are blessed. We are all fruitful we will testify to the Lord’s glory and tell everyone that he is worthy. This year is our year let’s keep strong and continue pushing. This year is our year the devil has lost this battle already.

It's suggestive of a fluid in your fallopian, this means you have to confirm it again by running another one and if turns to be as presumed then you really have to seek a medical help. Hydrosalpinx is not too much a gynaecologic problem to cry wary of.
You may have to do special endocervical culture for N. gonorrhea and the Trachomatis species.

Should nothing work be open to have a surgery done to improve patency.

Sorry I have to disagree with you on this.

1. Did you say hydrosalpinx is not much of a gynaecologic problem to cry wary of?

On the contrary, hydrosalpinx is a very big deal. Has no medical treatment (drug) but surgical treatment.

Asides affecting tubal patency, the fluid is toxic and back tracks into the uterus affecting implantation of the embryo.

2. Did you say "have a surgery done to improve patency."?

For hydrosalpinx, you do surgery to completely remove the affected tube (salpingectomy) not that you do surgery to improve any patency.

3. The gold standard way to confirm the diagnosis of hydrosalpinx is by diagnostic laparascopy. If found to be true, the tube will be removed.

It can be misdiagnosed by depending on Pelvic scan or HSG only. While a few hydrosalpinx can be picked up during ultrasound, some can go undetected. Same for HSG.

Some perifimbrial adhesion diagnosis may even involve hydrosalpinx but go unreported due to oversight and human error.

It takes skilled and experienced hands to pick it up during the above. And in Nigeria where a lot of diagnostic centres use outdated machines, it can be a herculean task.

So telling her to do another pelvic scan to reconfirm diagnosis could mislead this patient including her caregivers if the new lab claims to find nothing when there's indeed something due to any factor above listed.

And that seemingly slight mistake can cause a patient to run in circles for months or years and even possible failed IVFs.

Yes, a misdiagnosis can be that grievous.

Therefore, my advice to you Horlar2019 is to proceed straight to laparascopy. That is the way to get a confirmatory diagnosis in the case of hydrosalpinx.

Another perk of laparascopy is that it will help your doctor view all of your reproductive organs and be able to pick other issues affecting fertility eg adhesion which they can quickly clean up in the same procedure.

Basically, what hydrosalpinx means is that there's fluid in your Fallopian tube. The left tube in your own case. Its a type of tubal blockage which prevents the egg from meeting the sperm on the left side.

If the right tube is patent, they could meet via the right and fertilize but because hydrosalpinx involves a toxic fluid, this fluid prevents implantation because it makes the uterine lining hostile and unreceptive to the embryo.

That's why it has to be taken off even if one wants to go the IVF route.

Treatment

Treatment of hydrosalpinx is surgical and it's called a salpingectomy.

However, one or two mamas here have claimed to clear hydrosalpinx using gynapharm and gufeibao alongside proteolytic enzymes like serrapeptase, astragalus, wobenzyme, xi mu cao etc.

It may work and it may not work. They're just about 2% that got results out of all the hydro ladies that used it. The statistics are low. You can research this yourself.

The definitive treatment remains salpingectomy which MAY be followed by IVF.

There's no harm in trying the supplements first, you just may be lucky.

Really sorry you have to go through all this dear. It breaks my heart considering you recently had a myomectomy.

But remember that you're a warrior and this too shall pass. Your victory over these issues is certain. You're a mother of nations and will definitely carry your own babies as the Lord lives.

Sending you lots of light and love @Horlar2019

Good mama,
I really don't find any contrary to your post. But as one in the field I have every right and knowledge exposition to putting things right as expected.

Firstly, an hydrosalpinx is a fluid blockage or occlusion to any part of the uterine tube. It could be the at isthmus(closer to the uterus), ampulla( for fertilization) or the fimbriated end close to the ovary. As a matter of fact, the fluid could be mucinous or serous. This means the fluid occluding the tube either be coming from the upper reproductive organ or peritoneum(abdomen or abdominal cavity). Most causes to this blockage is usually infection but commonly, PID. A good reason I called for a culture at my last post. Not to forget this fluid transduction is a thing of inflammation. From knowledge on pathology, this occlusion could be acute or chronic. If her occlusion is acute then she has hope, I mean a real hope but if it is the other one then she is really in for a salpingectomy as you said.

Now, she has hope! And I am empathic about that not that I really sympathize with her. The worse is either to carry pregnancy the other ways or adopt a child.

Here is it! I made mention of acute and chronic inflammation, right?
Now, the truth is that the blocked tube can be corrected by
TCS and it an expensive procedure. At least there is hope that latency can improve from there. It is only on the ground you can't afford TCS a surgeon is exposed to removing the tube. It has helped many people.

Why do I call for confirmation?
This is because so many women implicated to have had their tubes occluded were not on several HSG.
There are more to say but I think these are enough.

Dear Mamas,

Thanks for the wishes.

WIDD
1. Prayer
I keep remembering God he created me completely and my womb must hear His words and I will testify. It was God who did it.

2. Medicines
As at January, I was using Vitamin B6 as prescribed here.

3. Herbs
I went to see grandma middle of January at Abeokuta. Then I saw one of my Aunts there, you know all these Yoruba Aunties now she was asking what was wrong. I had to open up to her that I haven’t been able to conceive and I have tried many hospitals.
She advised we try herbs. She took me to Lafenwa market at Abeokuta. The man asked so many questions, he mentioned I was having EDA, “sperm spillage”
I was given like 5 types of herbs to cook, soak and drink. I used the herbs for like 4weeks and AF showed on 12th Feb and it was red as in pure red I haven’t seen my AF as clean as that. The man told me to stop using it to see if my system is clean and if AF show in March more herbs will be given to me. Then March here I am saying thank you Lord.

Dear Mama,
There is no proof of him being a medical personnel.
He is just some desperate wanna be who has been begged to leave this thread and actually left once before and even changed moniker.
He does paid phone consultations on urology, obs/gynae and any other medical condition you can think of.
He has threads of his own but they generate so little traffic that he needs the wide reach on threads like this to spew his ignorance and lure unsuspecting women/people.
