Hi, am new here and I want to undergo IVF, first one I did failed due to the clinic I used. I live in warri, can anyone recommend a reliable, yet less expensive IVF center close to me? Secondly someone recommended Bridge Clinic, their branch in pH, can anyone confirm their success rate?? Thanks bekks2858@gmail.com

you are in warri?, why not try lily hospital, they are decent and have good reviews

Hello Mamas, kudos to you all for trying your best to make other women happy. I got married 6 months ago and we have been trying to conceive for 5 months. I am 28 and hubby just clocked 33 last week. I have not been worried much I j

i think its too early to get worried, most fertility docs will refuse to attend to you if u say you hv been married for only 6months.
all the same, how many days is ur cycle, if say29 days..count back 14days and and 4more days of jara, and start testing from there...if you ror tvs/follicular tracking...the scan will see your eggs and you can then know if or when you ovulate, you may hv to scan 2 to 5 times..depending on you.
yes its possible to mensurate without releasing good viable eggs

THE SCAM OF STAPH!
[Read slowly. And carefully.]
First, there is no DISEASE called "staph" or "staphylococcus". It is a lie. I guess some Nigerian hawkers invented the disease to extort money from ignorant people.
Second, there are some microorganisms called "Staphylococcus". Some of these organisms are a normal part of our body. Everybody has it. Therefore, if I do a lab test to check for staph on ANYBODY, it will be positive, most likely. It is normal.
Thirdly, sometimes, staph organisms can cause diseases. This is usually life-threatening & quite rare.
So, the next time someone attribute your weak erection, low libido or waist pain to staph, sue them to court. You will, almost certainly, win!
If you have any serious health or sex problem, don't just go straight to a lab for test or medicine store for drugs...you will hear strange things!
Instead, see a doctor -- and get proper diagnosis & treatment.
I hope this is clear!
~ By Dr. ‘Malik Haruna King.Cc all mamas

i hv a different opinion, however there is no disease called staph as the write up says.
look at it this way. a moderate growth of certain bacteria can hinder conceptiion in some other non straight forward ways, one of which is altering the ph balance of the vjay, making it difficult for sperm to thrive and swim.

you can google staph and fertility, to get more awareness. i believe a recurrent staph infection in msc should not be left untreated, but should be attacked aggresively with the correct coctail of drugs as written in the lab report.
https://www.intechopen.com/books/genital-infections-and-infertility/staphylococcal-infection-and-infertility

guys, staph is among the leading causes of infertility in men, low motility and morphology.
best detected through an sfa+msc, work with ur doc and treat you and your wife with the correct antibiotic cocktail.

supplements/vitamins for swimmers

so came across this, and felt someone may find it useful..affordable too instead of these big brands..one could buy 3 or 4 of these standalone supplements .vit c/vit e/selenuim/zinc/maca


Men who wish to improve their sperm quality and count may want to consider these supplements:

Note: FertilAid does contain amounts within range of Zinc, B12, Selenium, CoQ10, L-Carnitine and Vitamin A. Although I question if it's enough B12; according to the studies you may want to add extra B12 (I do).

• Vitamin C (500-1500 mg/day) Vitamin C helps to combat the pollution we are surrounded with. Pollution, particularly agricultural chemicals have been shown to cause much lower sperm counts. Vitamin C has been shown to reduce DNA damage in sperm by 91%. It is also shown to reduce agglutination and abnormalities. Vitamin C (1000mg) per day raised sperm counts by 140% in the first week in one study and 200 mg increased sperm counts by 112% in the first week. After 60 days the 200 mg group had caught up with the 1000mg group. All of these men had impregnated their wives by the end of the study.
• Vitamin E (400-800 i.u. per day) Studies show that vitamin E can increase sperm potency by 2 ½ times. Two studies found that vitamin E supplementation lead to a 20% pregnancy rate in previously infertile men. That is higher than most assisted reproduction procedures! Take vitamin E in mixed tocopherol form. Take it with vitamin C but do not take it without consulting your doctor if you have anemia, poorly clotting blood, hyperthyroid, high blood pressure, or liver disease.
• Zinc (15-60 mg/day) Even a mild zinc deficiency can cause drastically lower sperm counts. Zinc may also improve sexual function. In one study, thirty-seven men with more than five years of infertility, and whose sperm counts were less than 25 million/ml took 60 mg of zinc daily for forty-five to fifty days. For the twenty-two patients with initially low testosterone levels showed an increase in testosterone and mean sperm count increased significantly, from 8 to 20 million/ml. Nine of the twenty- two wives became pregnant during the study. For the fifteen men with normal testosterone levels, sperm count increased slightly but there was no change in testosterone level and no pregnancies occurred. If you take zinc for longer than a few weeks you should add 1-3 mg of copper to prevent a copper deficiency.
• B-12 (10-100 mcg/day) and a B-Complex supplement can help balance testosterone and LH/FSH secretions. Lack of B-vitamins is very common in people who eat mostly refined and processed foods as well as those who smoke. Twenty-seven percent of men in one study with sperm counts under 20 million/ml took 1,000 mcg of vitamin B12 per day. As a result, their total sperm count increased in excess of 100 million/ml.
• Selenium (100-200 mcg/day) Selenium deficiency causes fragile sperm with easily broken tails. Semen is high in selenium so it must be replenished regularly. Selenium is toxic in large doses so don’t take more than 200 mcg day. One double-blind trial found that sperm counts doubled in previously infertile men after supplementation with selenium.
• Co-enzyme-Q10 (30-100 mg/day) increases sperm counts. Also an anti-oxidant.
• L-Carnitine (up to 3 grams per day) An Italian study found that 2 grams a day of carnitine for three months dramatically improved sperm counts and mobility.
• A good multi-vitamin including vitamin A. It is not a good idea to take vitamin A separately as it is very easy to overdose on this vitamin. A multi will not have enough of the other supplements, but it is a good starting place to make sure you are not missing anything. Vitamin A helps improve sperm production.
• Essential fatty acids (EFA) are even more important for men than for women. Eat lots of coldwater fish and ground flax seed or supplement with a combination of between 1-7 grams of fish oil and flax oil capsules. Fish oil and flax oil contain different EFA so you will need to add substantial amounts of both to your diet. EFA are important for lowering your risk of diabetes and heart disease, improving overall health, and improving sperm count. Be careful about taking too much if you are on blood thinners. Be sure to choose distilled fish oil because oils such as cod liver oil contain toxic levels of vitamin A.
• L-Arginine (2-4 g) Arginine has shown very promising results in numerous studies on both sperm counts and motility. It is best used when everything else has failed.

Good morning all, I'm a new member. Pls can a low sperm count go for IVF? I hv a baby of 1yr 9mnths, but We'v been trying for another baby going for several test the issue is that hubby's count refused to go pass 10million he has taken different kinds of drugs even d ones that worked for our first pregnancy. So we decided on going for IVF... We based in Lagos, is there anything I shld kw?

10m sperm count is very ok for ivf..as far as there is a motile sperm there. most ivf centers routine do icsi, as low as 600k sperm count is good for ivf

CravingChic:

Plz what does it mean to have fluids in the pouch of Douglas and again can one take serapeptase alongside with herbal drugs?

errrm just to add.
its normal to hv flyid in pod after ovulation..from the rupture of the follicle...
so if u did the test just after ovu..then its something to think about



also hv limited quantities of fertil san m at usual discounted price and 2 packs of serrapeptase 120.000 iu doctors best for sale.

viperVIP:
Exactly my reason for being upset. it will just occupy unnecessary space and affect my next upgrade in case I choose to.
I already have 180w and I decided 200w will be manageable. then I have this Billboard with a conviction that it will do magic.

JUO DID wrong for sending a different item from what you want, combining panels would not work, its inefficient, and not recommended, ur plan to hv 2 units 200w was in order, JUo messed it up with his do good antics -- when he doesnt hv the full picture. this shud serve as a learning point to him!!!.

so kiekie is also guilty of this same shenagians.sending a 12kva relay stab instead of a 10kva servo..na wo..this guys really take their clients for fools.imagine such effontery, wonder when naija biz men will tow the path of honor and uprightness.

i bought an mppt cc from kiekie sometime ago..and when i powered it, i saw some data of few months ago!..meaning that the cc had been used by someone previously for a few wks.i didnt bother confronting him, but that put me on my guard when ever am transacting with him.

only c0ogumuo -solardepotng that hasnt performed any hanky panky on any purchase, i rate him a solid A+

good morning beautiful momma n poppas.
any idea if lily hospital offer laproscopy or hysteroscopy and how much do they charge?

Validcode:
Good day people. My scan result says calsified endometritis, it's still some weeks before our appointment with the gynae and I am wondering if anyone has dealt with this issue and would be willing to share their experience and treatment they underwent.

WOW, thats a strong one. guess u must hv super painful af and very lil flow.
calcified endo..means the endo tissues hv hardened considerablly, thus may be impedeing implantation.
would suggest u start castor oil massage, other sabi mamas wud come n chook mouth.
be strong, nothing is imposible for God

Hi ladies, please anyone has Serrapeptasse for sale?

am helping some1 sell 2 units, wants 25k for 2 of them doctors best 120,000 iu...comes in @12500, instead of the usual 15k
only challenge for the slightly reduced price is for the 2units to be bought by 1 person, to reduce the hassles of waybill/payment/calls etc

congrats, maam curvilicious, your son will be a blessing to his generation!!! and your marriage.

FruitfulRay:
Thanks so much sir for this info, thinking of doing IUI, not now, want to take care of myself for like 3 months, then try. Please do you know good hospitals in Lagos or Jos where they do this kind of specialized IUI.. THANKS

lagos mamas fit chook mouth, i dont know.
but what i know is that specialized equipment isnt really needed for washing n sorting semen,
any hospital that has a lab n performs sfa would hv the capability to do the washing n sorting.-- if they choose to

the s,emen is simply put in a centrifuge and whirled at high speeds, this will separate the dead dperm from the live ones, and the fast sperm sorted from the weak ones, impurities then settle out too.
so once a clinic does do sfa in-house, you can automatically know that they are incapable of semen washing n sorting

onlyme07:
Ma'am what was the cost of IUI then? Trying to have an idea. I'm paraplegic ,will be getting married this year and I want my lady to at least be preg before everything. Tnx

seems you didnt read what i wrote??
that he doesnt wash and sort, he simply injects raw semen...wch is not right.
then his charge was either 20k or 30k, very cheap

onlyme07:

am male though.

iui prices ranges from 70k to 300k, depending.
you need to ensure that where ever you choose wash and sort the sperm, b4 insemination.

Happy new year my friends! I pray that God will grant us all our long awaited BFP! Been sooo busy this period!
Pls my Benin mamas,how is Dr Ojobo pondersend? Or can u recommend any good gynae in benin

oh benin mama, tot ur waka would hv carried you to his doormot since. he is among the top 5 in fertility matters that are reigning in benin city.
when i went there, be prepared to spend the a long time, cos the queue no be here, or you can pay 3k for express service. he is a bit old fashioned and trys to save money for the client.
did an iui then, though he doesnt wash and sort,just injected the raw semen -- this is wrong, and we didnt know then. so you need to watch out for that. bromo 2,5mg is also his prescription of choice +clomid, hope he has evolved to other methods now.
all in all, its a decent place, and affordable. graceland is expensive.have you tried lily hospital?.hear good things about them. only problem i forsee is being an ivf center, like georges lagos, they may want to convince you to do ivf sharp sharp instead of being patient and trying to get to the root cause. the choice is yours though. cos after ttcing for many years, na ivf sure pass, no time to waste

somebody mentioned alfalfa leaves being good for female fertility.
doc google says its true, and even helps in curing body odours, foul breath and smell v.jay in addition to general fertility.

some information about IUI.

If you’ve researched intrauterine insemination (IUI), you’ve probably know the sperm sample is washed before being delivered to the uterus. You may wonder why this process is conducted. Is the sperm dirty? Does it need to be “clean” to fertilize an egg?

While “sperm washing” may sound strange, it actually increases the chances of fertilization. By using a sample that contains only the strongest, healthiest sperm, you significantly increase your chances of conception. Here’s how it works.

What is Sperm Washing?
Sperm washing separates sperm cells from semen, removes dead or slow-moving sperm, white blood cells, mucous and prostaglandins that may impede fertilization or endanger the woman’s health.


What are Prostaglandins?
Prostaglandins are chemicals found in the body that cause muscle contractions. They are actually responsible for cramps during menstruation and pregnancy. If raw semen that includes prostaglandins is inserted directly into the uterus (instead of first going to the cervix), a woman could experience severe pain and cramping. In some scenarios, raw semen could also cause the uterus to collapse, a severe complication.


How is Sperm Washing Done for Intrauterine Insemination?
After a sperm sample is collected from the male partner, it is subjected to one of three sperm washing techniques.


Simple Sperm Wash
The most basic method involves diluting sperm in a test tube with a solution of antibiotics and protein supplements. The sample is placed in a centrifuge where it is spun at high speed for about 30 minutes. The spinning motion causes the sperm cells to fall to the bottom of the test tube. The result is a mass of highly mobile sperm available for IUI.


Density Gradient Sperm Wash
Density gradient sperm wash takes the process a step further and separates dead cells, white blood cells and other waste products from the sperm. A test is tube filled with several layers of liquids, each with a different density. The semen sample is placed on the top layer, and the test tube is spun in a centrifuge. After spinning, healthy sperm will be collected in the bottom layer of liquid. Dead sperm and other debris will be trapped by the other layers of liquid. The process takes about an hour.


Swim Up Technique
This process ensures only the healthiest, strongest sperm are used in IUI. Semen is placed in a culture dish with a layer of media culture. Sperm are attracted to the culture and will swim up to it. They are collected as they swim up to the culture. To ensure enough sperm are collected for IUI, the process requires about two hours.

Regardless of which technique you select, sperm washing is a vital part of IUI. We’re happy to talk with you further about the process during a consultation.

dgr8truth:
I suspect they dead because of lack of adequate charge since the setup is floore from the beginning.

The setup comprises of sukam 7.5kva inverter of 120v DC, 10 200AH sukam batteries, three charge controller of 45a, 45a, 30a all three are pwm and 10 solar panels, the ratings I don't know since I am not the one that installed them but I suspect 150 to 200w.

Four of the batteries are reading 5. Volts, another four can't sustain charge, only two are 50% OK.

As at the time I went to audit the setup, the two morningstar 45a pwm charge controllers have a combine ampage of 4.5a 48v individually.

yeah the design was flawed from the beginning, thats the problem with a high dc voltage inverter. the 120v inverter...for it to effectively charge the batts, needs to hv 150v dc and above hitting it...n that 150v is also about the max input rating for the MS CC!....too bad you didnt vet what the installer did/get a reuputable installer...must be heart wrenching loosing those batteries ..@ this point, replacing them would gulp over 1m naira.

for your next setup..let the installer give you his planned design...and you bring it here for us to QA/QC it.
that 120v inverter is a serious hassle for solar panels n it isnt even a smart inverter too..only few CCs are capable of handling >150v dc and they are quite expensive.
such inverter is best for a phcn/gen setup

tpapi:
pls is culture test d same as sfa test. if yes wat is d normal price for d test

some labs charge separately for it eg sfa alone 2k, if u want the semen cultured..ie to chk for infection...then u pay extra 1k = 3k total
mecure in lagos charges 7k abi 8k for this complete package, other smaller labs charge 3k
