@loisemom, guifeibao and clean point are said to drain cysts.
most cysts are functional and wud drin after a while on thier own too, but u may use the above if they are stubborn.

@curvymami, ur lining is decent and follicle size ok too, keep on bding!...and let dh check his swimmers or take more supplements.
u can try ruzu next cycle cd 1 to 10, to ensure that the whole lining is shed, and new sofr fresh lining grows back.

@ogunbekun it might be implantation o, the body usually doesnt start to recognize its pregnant until 4 to 6 days after implantation, thats when a noticeable increase in hcg levels would be detected.
wait till 1wk after expected af date and do another pt [lol, i know its harder that it sounds]

Mamas and papas abeg any idea why my af does not flow well? It has been like dat like forever i asked gynae he said as long as it can fill a pad then am good.
If i just drink cold water af go seize to flow sometimes during heat when i drink very cold water thru af time na so all my pad go waste.

@ripvanwink, fruitfulray, fvine, orney,loisemm, ogunbekun, lavivaavril, mummykyrti, adiahaakwaibom1, pwettymii, chrissyjay

@all i need answers been wondering why
the doc may be right, there is a minimum amount of blood that comes during af, cant remember now, u may google.
though the scientist in me wud think along the lines of thin endometrial lining, and would recommend a baseline scan/tvs to check the lining size..and a 2nd scan on ovulation or 1 -2 days before to see that the linning gets to the minimum thickness that can support implantation.
u may omit the first scan, its not that necessary if money no too dey.

3rdly, the garlic&ginger therapy is said to make af flow, also the mighty ruzu is gr8 in tht dept, my dw flows like tap when on ruzu, and it helps lessen the pain, she has stopped taking pain killers during af since i introduced her to ruzu, and she agreed to take it grin grin

my 2cents ::gofor a midcycle scan/tvs..emphasize to the technician that ur doc is interested in the lining thickness, cos some of them dey mumu...and write ''sufficient thickness'', and at least the tvs will help u confirm if u ovulate and nos of eggs etc.
st bridget or benin radiological center charge 6500 for tvs

@justt2006, welcome bro, may ur stay be short in Jesus name.
for the adhesions, let her commence serrapeptase treatment, so after it takes care of the adhesions, the fibroids surgery would now be easy or a standard procedure.
i feel ur dw's internl organs are gummed together, either caused by a rough apendicities surgery..or na so God create am, so the doc is afraid of entering, and damaging things [good decision].
start the serap now, its an enzyme, not a drug...so can combine it with whaever, research further on serrap and other adhesion fighting supplements like xi cao, wozembednye etc [think i spelt the 'woz' wrongly]
Health › Re: Trying To Conceive A Child? TTC by RipVanWink: 4:05pm On Feb 01, 2017
yes , am a dh grin
after ovulation, some fluid gathers in the pod, so depednig on when u did the tvs, u might see fluid in pod, so dont panic, its fluid from the ruptured follicle.

@mummykyrti @afagha, yup bding during af is not a pleasant thought, but some women who had issues conceiveing, tried it and took in.
at ur question about af blood washing away the swimmers,---- in reality the flow reduces when bding during af, and again..once the swimmers make it tru the jaijainna canal to the tubes, af blood flows from the uterus to the jaijainna canal, so they are safe there.

n i think swimmers can thrive or survive in blood, for a few minutes necessary for them to swim into the tubes.
hv tried bding twice during af, wasnt pleasant grin shocked, but anything for our LO
a better option might b to bd a day b4 the expected af, or on cd1, when the flow is light.

a bbt chart or tvs will help confirm if you have this condition., its closely related to luteal phase defect
some years back, a mama got bfp by bding during af, after all failed

you may be ovulating late/LPD or be among the women who ovulate during af
i wud advice you start bbt charting, follicular tracking or bd during af or 1st dy of af to cover all bases

Fvine:
Easiest way to get your body and your CM Alkaline is by drinking Lemon Juice (stay away from Lime) mixed in water, Grapefruit Juice mixed in water, Baking Soda mixed thoroughly in water, Apple Cider Vinegar Mixed in water. Either one of them is Ok. You don't have to take all at the same time. All are safe for TTC and enhances conception and good health

One can also do a Baking Soda Finger 1hour to 30mins before BD. ie dipping tip of finger in Baking Soda and inserting into Veejay, Using Preseed/Conceive Plus or Using real Egg Whites from Chicken but from Pasteurized Chicken Eggs.

Happy Year 2017 Y'all.

Sometimes i begin to tink maybe my mucus are too harsh. Is there a test to check cm acidity?
our very own curvy mami grin grin,
there is a test for hostile cervical mucous, but its expensive and not common...i doubt upto 4 labs would be doing it in naija.
its number 1 on my favourite theories for unexplained infertility, going forward, iw ould advice you to assume u hv it and commence treatment for it.
treatment is simple and natural,// quit or drastically reduce all processed sugars/processed flour/ cakes chin chin meatpie etc....eat more alkaline fruits n foods, eat almonds, soursop, drink lemon honey drink on empty stomach every morning etc. do more reaserch for tips on how to make the body more alkaline.

Chai my solar is suffering me now... Let me explain:


I stop charging my inverter with Nepa for almost a month now and I noticed since a week ago now the battery now run down quick. I might go to work and when I get back the inverter might only last 30 nins or less.


I use just a single 200ah battery and two 80 watt connect in series and 2 130watt connect in series and both now connected in series to my fangpuson cc.


Do charger with only solar destroy a battery?

Dmerciful and other guru please have mercy on me oh embarassed
the bolded should be parallel, not series again, if panels r 24v pls confirm
also, ur panels are 12v panels or 24v?...methinks 12v

your total panel capacity is 420w, which is ok to charge your single battery, only problem might b cos of panel mismatch, i hope your cables are sized correctly, 19amps is ok to charge the battery, am suspecting, ur battery may be on its way to the grave, if after

Hi, thanks for your review. Fan failure could be an issue with Fangpusun. Noted.

So given a choice to get either one of the two which would you go for?

Please if you know more about these two do let me know by dropping your comments
LIKELY FANGPUSEN, BUT I WOULD BE monitoring the fan like a hawk, and clean the fan vents periodically.
fang shows in and out power/watt/amp, itracer only shows in.
like i said fang is built after the world rennown outback and morning star...epsolar...am not exactly sure whose clone it is

I was on clomid for 10 months and had TvS done in sept,oct and November. The follicles did not grow more than 9 mm each month. My doctor concluded that it's annovulation
pls pls pls, stop the clomid, being on clomid for 10months isnt good for ur health o, it seems u were self medicating, no doc worth his salt will prescribe clomid for 10months,
the best procedure for clomid is to start on 50mg, observe it tru tvs if u ovulate and the size of follicles, if no show...next step is to increase it to 100mg and may 150mg as a last result.

going forward, i would advice you to first do a liver cleanse/detox....to try and rid your body of accumulated toxins.
u can also do 2 or 3 day fasting with prayer n praise,...yes o science has confirmed that fasting for 2 - 3 days helpd the liver to detox too,
then try either the bitterleaf therapy for 10days starting cd1 or ruzu bitters . this would help u ovulate.
you could also try vitolize for women and bee propolis by forever

Between Fangpusun Flexmax 60A MPPT and Epsolar's 60A itracer MPPT which one is better in terms of performance, durability and log functions?


PS: any one that owns either or both should please have a say

Thanks kind gurus
ep solar data storage/display capacity isnt as robust as morning star, i have used both, and i believe fangpusen is built along the lines of morning star/outback.

the major issue i have against fangpusen is that it is a lil bulky and has an internal cooling fan, hich may fail or stop due to dirt and thus the system may overheat and spoil.

Hello Mamas in the house, when I shared this scripture that God ministered to me two sundays ago, I never knew it was deeper and even more relevant to me than I thought (me i was just thinking ttc jeje). In the early hours of last thursday, my husband and I forcefully received unwanted guests in our home at 2am. They were armed with knives and guns, it all happened so fast we didnt have time to think, they climbed in through the balcony, broke one of the panels on the terrace door and damaged the lock from the back. The beating they gave my husband no get part 2, he was almost unconscious by the time they were done simply because they couldnt find me in the house like say na me dem find come, they were screaming w
here is you wife, where is your wife from the moment they came in ( na him go hide me for under stairs, lock door say make i no come out under any circumstance). I cant even begin to count the loss of valuables and things they took but i am just thankful to God that spared our lives and is helping us to be strong and gradually overcoming the trauma. We no fit sleep for house yet but at least we are sleeping well now unlike a few days after it happened. I m thankful for support from friends and family who immediately surrounded and are encouraging us. In other news, af showed yesterday and I was not even so angry because na person wey dey alive dey ttc o...so in all things I m grateful to God.
WOW!, PRAISE GOD O.
may have been robbery that wanted to turn to kidnapping, or disguised as.

But then implanting 3 embryos does it mean getting 3 babies?

ivf is a journey of mercy.



On
Its all Gods favour, some have implanted 3 embryos, and all 3 implanted = 3 babies, some only 1 embryo implanted= 1 baby.
some implanted 2 embryos, the split into 2 again = 4 babies, or only 1 split = 3babies.
the main thing is conducting a test after the babies are born to sort out who has what and how many.
in our case, 3 embryos were implanted,...none implanted angry angry

Hmmmm a well planned thought

Point 1.free surrogacy
Point 2.what if couple A didn't achieve conception?
point 3.Based on the fact both couples have one aim,success is high because it's not easy getting a surrogate
if couple A didnt achive pregnancy, but couple B does, remember 1 embyro of couple A was transferred, along with 2 embryos of couples B to female of couple B, so if couple A fails, but Couple B succeeds, then it is for tests to be done after couple B succesfully delivers to separate the babies, the single couple A's baby will b given to them, while couple B goes home with their 2 babies
Health › Re: Anyone Trying IVF/IUI/ICSI (Fertility Treatments)? by RipVanWink: 6:48pm On Dec 03, 2016
a thought occured to me, though with the kind of mindset we have in this country, am not so sure of the workability of the plan.
its a form of mutual surrogacy for ivf couples....IF NOT NOW, i know in the future people would try such

so couple A and couple B are considering ivf, instead of doing ivf solo, they could team up and do ivf=surrogate for each other, it requires careful planning and timing and Gods favour.

so 2 embryos of couple A +1 embryo of couple B would be transfered to the womb of couple A female, while 2 embryos of couple B+1 nbryo of couple A would be transferred to the womb of couple B female.
this would kill 2 birds with 1 stone, ivf+surrogacy,..thus doubling the chance of success.

a simple blood/dna test would be carried out after birth to separate the 3rd baby....legal agreements=hospital docs may have to be signed to forestall greed/disagreements

hello , I have been facing hard times lately ,
this infertility has bring me down completely ,
life means nothing to me again, I hate to be in a pity and sorry state in life , I have thought to put a stop to the life in me , or na my sins worst past ni , I nearly swallowed poison this morning,
I only have my mum's pity at heart .
pls dont. we all have been tru tots like that, but suicide isnt an option at all.
1. are u sure of ur reception/how life at the other side is?
2. people wud even abuse u more in death for being a super foolish woman for commiting suicide for ordinary childlessness....when u can adopt, surrogacy, ivf etc.
3. try n pray and give ur self hope, ttc can be overcome. so many protocols have been listed here, make a habit of trying each one at every for 3 or 4month b4 giving up and moving to the next, it gives u something to look forward to, and trying something new always helps, remaining sad and not doing anything new, doesnt help at all, if you look, most women who concieved, always have a WIDD / what i did differently.

on a lighter note, if after all these u still want to end ur life/tired of life...there are so many options which you can use to go in grand style/be useful to mankind grin grin

1. so many people are looking for oragns, kidney/liver/spleen etc...on fb a woman has been on the wait list for kidney for 6yrs now, you could offer up your organs to the living who are in need of organs.

2. so many life saving drugs are being produced, but finding human test subjects is not easy, u cn also offer up urself to the pharmaceutical companies for such.

mek i stop here, but so many options plenty, maa'm wipe ur tears, praise God, go to a good hospital run tests ur n ur dh or better still post ur results here, we will advice you accordingly..... ignorance and unwillingness of couples to try new things is the major reason why many couples are still ttc.

I was giving ovumin 100gm from cd2-6 follicles was 22 and 19 mm some how. 500 iu of trigger shot was given on CD 13. thanks for your contributions.
everything appears ok, i wonder how u concluded you didnt ovulate?
was a tvs done 2 to 3 days after the trigger shot?. 22m n 19mm are pretty good mature follicles. curious to know how you concluded you didnt ovulate. secondly consider suggesting to the doc to use 10,000IU trigger shot, which is the full dose, 5,000 iu is used in cases where ohss is suspected. also buy the trigger shot in a good pharmacist that hv fridge, as its recommended to keep it at below 20 degC at all times

Sorry about that, lets take it step by step.

1. what drug did you use to induce ovulation?..clomid?, wch cd days did u take it
2. i assume you did tvs, what was the follicle sizes
3. when was the trigger shot given?. how big were the follicles then?.. how many IU of the trigger hot/hcg was administered.

you could try the bitterleaf therapy, it has helped some women to voulate n produce good eggs, thus achieving pregnancy

12hrs abstinence for sfa isnt so useful, wc lab or doc sent this on this mission.
sfa is best done btw 2 to 4days.
the combo you are on is good, you dont need to abstain while on it.

Good evening dear mamas. Been a while. Thank God we are all fine. Pls I have just 2 questions, I would appreciate detailed answers.
1. I am due to start clomid tomorrow for day 5-9 of my cycle and to do hsg on the 11th day. Is it advisable?

2. How long shld I abstain from bd before and after the hsg?

Abeg help me torchlight this matter. Thank you.
its not a good practise.
so what if after taking the clomid, and on cd 11, the hsg says blocked tubes? [not ur portion IJN], but you/your doc should have considered that, have you ever done hsg b4 blocked/open?. since you have comiited yourself already, i think going for flushing wud be better, so if there is blockage, it might open it, unlike normal hsg that is just to see, usually doesnt open blocked tubes, unless very minor lockage.

2ndly, on some forums clomid 5 to 9 is said to lengthen cycles, so keep us posted on how your go, so we may also add the info to our knowledge base here.
3rdly, most people are able to b 2 days after hsg, the dye/oil used in hsg, am not so sure its sperm friendly, so the 2days gives the place time to heal and for all the dye to flow out. but if you can bd 1 day after, i dont think its an issue. the koko is to track so you know ur expected ovulation date
