MummyHalo:
Good day my mamas of many nations. DH's SFA came back with pH value of 7.0. Please does this in any way affect conception? Is there something we could do to improve this. He has done the SFA twice and in both instances, pH was 7. I read that the normal range was 7.2 - 8.0. Thanks for your usual help. Sticky baby dust to us all.

7.0 is acidic, in nature, most things acidic are not good, even acidic vjay fluids is a natural sperm killer, let him try eating more alkaline foods, maybe it would help..lemon , coconut water etc...also check your drinking water supply, and let him stop taking sugary sweet stuff

ananne:
Please house.

What is the size range a follicle needs to get to before it will rupture?

My wife's dominant follicle is at 27mm and it's day 12 of her cycle.

When should we expect it to rupture?

I know it's close and I am ready to do the do. Man is ready for as many rounds as is needed.

Biko ship in a little advice of you know something about follicular tracking.

in addition to the advice allready given, u should start considering triggering, as 27mm is really getting very big, rescan in 2 days, n if it hasnt ruptured, consider triggering,
am assuming her cycle is 27/28 days? does she have ovu symptooms like egg white cramps n spotting on ovu day?

giftfromGod:
Three times in a week you say? My hubby will just run comot for house, lol. But I will try and tell him let hope he would accept, thanks for the advice. Our efforts on overcoming Ttc shall be positive by God grace.

hmmm man no dey run from kpekus ,
try to prepare fruit smoothies for him using cucmber,watermelon,ginger honey , dabino etc, all these increase sex drive, let him cut down on smoking , alcohol, sugary stuff and flour,
stress also makes sex dress to plummet, makes cortisol to be dominant......... so you guys should learn how to manage it

Charlotte911:
and distal bilateral Fallopian tubal blockage are the same thing!? Google hasn't been helping at all. And what can one do before going for tubal flushing? Can natural Yoruba herbs work for it? Like am kind of confused because I read going for flushing isn't 100percent guaranteed. What can one do in this type of situation, can one still continue baby dancing despite all odds, though am shaking but have costed all my worries unto God I know by December I will carry my little one, yassss , I have that stubborn faith, baby dust to us all. Someone should please answer my question plz oooo

continue bding when you can, no harm in that...start serrapeptase highdose upto 600,000 spu, it softens the scar tissue so that during flushing, they would gently fall off, best to be on serrapeptase 1 to 3 months b4 flushing, the longer, the berra

kemmyk:
Good evening everyone, I just came across dis group. Am feeling down
right now ,I just got my period now after a failed iui which cost about 700k with one hospital in lekki, money wasted for nothing.....pls can someone recommend a very affordable hospital for IVF with a good success rate for me


With this iui the doctor started with 300k , again requested for 200k also some money for other tests which made everything amounts to 700k , now he wants us to come back for another cycle....infact am so done with him

the doc no try, iui is btw 70k to 350k in most places, mighty ivf cost 800k in many places during promo, i rather do ivf than iui of 700k

swtbiddy:
What test did you do? Go for laparascopy for proper diagnosis. I was told I had endometriosis last year because I was experiencing almost all the symptoms, but during hysterolaparascopy it was discovered I had polyps and not endometriosis

THE POLYPS WERE CUT OFF DURING HYSTERESCOPY??, any tips for them not to regrow again?

Anonymous29:
Thanks mama..... But is it possible to have ovulation cramps, ewcm and still not ovulate?

Cos I usually get that, even before being married.

only a tvs b4 and after can conclusively tell you, cos some follicles grow to 20mm and above..and fail to rupture..thus transforming into an ovarian cyst, so if the person didnt do an after tvs, she may think she ovulated

AnnGrace:
Ok. thanks. But which test can l or hubby do to check for any infection.

sfa for men comes in 2 options.
1. sfa alone cost 2k to 4k in most places
2. sfa = mcs /culture cost 4k to 10k, here in addition to checking the semen, it is also cultured to see what microbes will grown

She's on a 27-28days cycle

It has been a very strange thing all along.. Lemme tell more of the stories..

The last time we had sex was on the 19th of January, we never hoped it would result into pregnancy because that was the last day of a menstruation. Traces of blood still stained her pant on this day. So, we just wanted to have fun, since she just finished menstruation. As a result, I didn't even come to the point of ejaculation. I got tired in the process and I couldn't cum. She even told me she took a dose of Postinor something I detested so strongly. I disallowed


We're waiting to see if she will see her menstrual period again this month before we go for another test.

something isnt adding up, ttc and postinor no dey waka the same road for whatsoever reason

that aside, its either the postinor is causing the false positive, or another not so good option is an ectopic pregnancy - wch i hope isnt the case.
run this ectopic preg thing by your doc, when next you go..meanwhile let the woman be aware of her body and observe for dull/sharp pain on the shoulder blades, thats 1 of the symptoms of ectopic.

Eclement:
Hello Good afternoon. There is a bit of confusion that besiege me as I type.

Here is the summary of my wife's story

She began to feel some symptoms like nausea,fatigue and something that resembles implantation bleeding. We ran to the hospital to test and her blood tested positive. We came home but her urine tested negative.

Since blood gives a more legit information about hCG, we weren't perturbed about her urine.

But to our surprise, she had her menstrual period the next cycle, that is about 2 weeks time. We rushed back to the hospital to complain. The doctor did an ultrasound scan, but nothing was found. Not even the embryo sac. He asked us to come back after two weeks for another scan, since it might be an early pregnancy.

We rushed back to the hospital when it was about 5weeks, blood still testing positive, urine testing negative, and the scan couldn't pick anything up. I also need to say that she hasn't missed any menstrual period.

What could be likely for all of these?? Please help. The suspense is killing me

.

HOW LONG IS HER CYCLE, AND what day did you do the first test?
the female body doesnt know its pregnant till 3 to 5 days after implantation, implantation also happenes 3 to 5 days after ovulation. i think i read somewhere that ovulation hcg spike is similar to pregancy spike, and an ovulating woman will test positive to a preg test strip...

have you done a urine test again?
the doc should do preg blood count test, cant remember what its called, but its supposed to double evry couple of days for a pregnant woman

Ejusni:
Please I need your useful advice and suggestions.
I am about to get married in about 3months time I just discovered during a private routine medical checkup that I have varicocele and I was told it affects my fertility as a man, I don't want to get married and be TTC..I need your useful contribution on where in Nigeria I can have the varicocele repair surgery and the cost of the surgery...

i would suggest you do an sfa, the result of the sfa would indicate if your semen is poor/being affected by the variocle. sfa is very cheap and easy.
sfa = seminal fluid analysis, it just occured to me you may not know .,,,as a newbie
cost btw 3k and 10k, ensure you do sfa+mcs..ie culture to check for infection in the semen

MGeey:
CC:TBABY123

If there are no underlying challenges like infection, I'll suggest you get fairhaven's myo inositol and ovaboost. you can also take vitamin B complex. All of these are very good in aiding the body produce quality eggs. You can read more on it. All the best sis.

in addition, i suggest you start taking royal jelly, ubiquinol and omega 3, these work to improve egg quality.
would recommend you add ovaboost to the 3 supplements i listed above and observe for 2 to 3months..b4 thinking of clomid

Mummytwins42:
Hi mamas I started my period today, please when can I go for the hsg test, and my doctor prescribed some antibiotics for me today, can I be on antibiotics and still do hsg test, will they be able to get the accuratr result? Am not ready happy that am doing my period, I don't really like sex, what can I use to make me feel like having sex , I need a baby

why did the doc prescribe antibiotics for u?..do u hv an underlying infection, if yes, best not to go for hsg when u hv infection as the procedure will push the infection further inside ur reproductive system, btw the doc should know that ..

for libido increase, low libido is usually a sympton of hormonal inbalance all things being equal, take dates/coconut/tiger nut combo, eats lots of cucmber and water melon, also add vitex and maca to your regimen

Twinee08:
Yeah, they did that. I will have to check again in a later date.

hmmm, if they did that and didnt see any follicle at all on cd 10, its a lil strange, cos even if you ovulate on cd 20, small follicles shud be present, anyway try again in 4 to 6 days later n see, meanwhile i recommend you stock up on egg stimulating supplements, like ovaboost, ubiquinol, royal jelly, etc

Twinee08:
I have a 29days cycle. Last month was just late by 3days

do a proper follicular tracking, they will wear condom on the tool and insert in ur vjay, it sees better than surface pelvic scan.
since ur cycle length is 29, u ca start from cd 10 or cd 12

Happy new year to all the fruitful mothers/fathers in the house, It's really been a while but this time I'm coming with a heart full of joy and a mouth wide open with a testimony. It ended in praise ..... Praise the Lord! we are now expecting.

I did a lot of things that I can't tell which brought about this result; I learnt about Akamu here and incorporated it with beans into the family menu, we ordered and use fertilsan m for three months, embarked on joint fasting/prayers and declarations with dh, mum visited and specially prayed for us, took vit b6 and E (cause of sore boobs),
Never give up cos you are next to testify in Jesus name Amen

pls, other sabi mams can chook mouth, this vit b6, whats its function and dosage, my dw has tender nipples, a wk to af, and af spots for 2 days, b4 coming out with a vengeance from the 3rd day, her cycle is usually 28/30 days, she get cramps one week to af too, from my research all these points to pms, would vit b6 help, heard of cases where vit b6 distorted some peoples cycles.

hello fruitful mamas,please I need any mama to bless my life with serrapeptase and other supplement to unblock tubes.

thanks

try eating lots of cucumber and also watermelon b4 ovulation, it helps to produce fertile cm, if it fails try drugs - fertile aid cm / evening primrose oil etc

Ebalu953:
Pls o is it that like 4days after embryo transfer you can't travel by air (about 1hr) or you can't cook or do anything? Na just 24hrs best rest? Pls enlighten me ooo

you can travel by air...only if there is 100% guarantee that there wont be turbulence during the flight, since no one can give you that guarantee, its beta to be safe, than story, stay the 4 or 5 days after the transfer..b4 embarking on air travel..road travel, you can do if its on good road and not more than 3hrs nonstop driving

Thehomemaker:
Hi mama, you can steal this deal on this IG page fertilitycareafrica for ubiquinol today or any other thursday/check for more details on their page and website.

not such a steal, 200mg ubiquinol 90 tabs is 17k on jumia.
research says that 200mg is the recommended avg dosage


question: is agbalumo/udara/star fruit safe in the 2ww/wk you are expecting menses?

zarammum:
Hello my people. Congratulations to those who recently got their BFP. You will carry to term.. Amen

Please my people. where can I get Ubiquinol and how much is it. Between Vitex and evergreen supplement for women, which gives better result.

Has anyone who was diagnosed of block tubes had her tubes open by using serrepaptase.

God bless us all.

TRY JUMIA OR KONGA, for ubiquinol

Mercyjosh:
Sis, pls get the progesterone ursef, the earlier the better. You can try cyclogest, it's available in any pharmacy. You will carry to term in Jesus Name

the cyclogest , once u start it, should be continued till 3months/end of first trimester...thats when the placenta kicks in and starts nturally producing adequate amounts of progesterone.
a cheaper alternative, though less reliable is baby aspirin 81mg, its best used b4 u start spotting, if you are spotting already, cyclogest remains the best bet, act fast!

DoubleJ19:
i also had a good review from a frnd thats y i went there bt i dont knw y i and my other frnd both had a day2 transfer, am guessing something went wrong or becos its a promo...i wish you gudluck with them, jst sharing my experience n that of a circle mate

really strange, day 2 transfer isnt common at all.this is because, they try to replicate the natural process, as it takes the fertilized egg 3 to 5 days to travel from the fallopian tubes to the uterus to implant.

i wish you cared to ask them the reason for that.
could hv been an experimental procedure, or the gynae doing the transfer wanted to travel, they had a problem with their hatchery/incubator, or the embryologist etc....we will never know.
though promo or not, no ivf center operates on purpose to give patients bfn, cos the more bfps they have, the more people will rush to their place

DoubleJ19:
my dear sister please stay away ooo cos i n my frnd had a failed ivf there in their 2018 promo and they did a day 2 transfer instead of day 5 for me and her.
they are so sweet and caring in the beginning bt once it goes wrong they ignore you, also there is to much secrecy cos u dont see ur result they will just be readin it to you from the system.
one mama complained about them here bt i was busy defending them back then.... mama if you are reading this please forgive me.

wow, day 2 transfer?...its either day 3 or day 5, did they tell you why they opted for day 2 transfer?
best approach for naija hospitals is to discuss everything upfront, like do you do day 3 or day 5 transfer?. i would like to have copies of all my results - do you the hospital have a policy against that etc??, our last ivf, the y had to ask me at a stage if i had a medical background

yeah, most naija ivf centers dont really know how to handle bfn, guess its part of the harsh african culture, i suppose.
wow, heard really good things about them from someother person,

pls mamas that have more info about them shud chook mouth
