Preciousify:

I have done HSG, tubes are patent.
Scan says everything is normal.
No infection
Period comes normal.

Hubby is yet to do SFA.

It takes 2 people to make a baby. Let him do his SFA.

Its best if your prolactin is less than 10..do the ewedu therapy someone posted above.

Nene56:


The doctor keeps saying it’ll go/stop by itself

Get selsun blue shampoo and use it to wash the hair 3x a week.

Mzwealthy:
Good evening mama's . Please my baby of 6 months which ve started giving her cereal and puree only is having it difficult to poo. Dis night when trying to poo she just started crying so badly. I ve tried giving her water but she hardly takes it but I also tried putting orange inside her water which she toke just a bit . Please I need suggestion on what I can do to make her poo easily . Please your reply will be appreciated

Since she's 6 months already offer her other foods that are high fibre. Amala and ewedu will help her poo.

cutiereborn:
@Mzwealthy, seems we are in the same boat as regards baby not drinking water.
My 2nd princess will be 5 months next week and takes both breast milk n Nan, but to take water is war!!! As in, she will struggle n even pour it out if it gets to her mouth. Tried using plastic syringe still no luck.
Please Sabi mamas help me!

Breastmilk and nan are sweet, water is bland so its natural for babies to reject water....you just have to keep trying. Sometimes babies copy adults so maybe you can pretend you are drinking the water from the cup and offer her too

wentroublecomes:
Hello mamas. My 5 month + old baby is always crying in the night while sleeping without even opening his eyes. If he sleep within 15mins, he'll start crying but during the day he will be fine and playing but when night comes that's when the issue arise. What could be the problem and what can we do to solve this issue

Is he feeding with bottle?

Nene56:
Good day mommas, please I need help
My baby is 9 months old.. she had cradle cap earlier when she was about 2 to 3 months.. cradle cap cleared and since then she’s been losing hair.. I mean seriously losing hair.. one would think I shaved off her hair.. her hair keeps thinning out and her scalp would be so smooth like there was never hair there.. please anyone who knows a solution to this?I'm a first time mom.

Has a doctor seen this? Sounds like alopecia but the cause needs to be investigated.

I'm yet to see a man state whether he was a virgin or not when they come with their male infertility issues. I do not understand why women burden themselves with labels (virgins vs abortionists) when it is clear as day that TTC doesn't respect labels. Anyone can have hormonal imbalance leading to annovulation or fibroids/infection that blocks the tubes. Infections that can cause tubal blockage arent all sexually transmitted. A yeast infection plus douching will lead to it.



@Preciousify, Yes you are judging Or do you feel they dont deserve another child because they committed abortion? Or people shouldnt get pregnant because they were sexually active before marriage?
I believe you kept yourself until marriage for personal/spiritual reasons so be proud of yourself that you did. Unfortunately the reward for marrying a virgin isnt immediate pregnancy......because life just happens.


To your test result: If progesterone was done o day 21 you are most likely not ovulating. Prolactin, even though still within the normal range, is on a high side..work on reducing it.
If you haven't redone a HSG after your myomectomy go do it to ensure tubal patency. Someone also asked about your husbands SFA...it takes 2 to procreate.

Some tips for mamas that have unexplained infertility (SFA good, tubes patent and ovulating but no pregnancy).
--Robitussin (with guaifenesin) cough syrup or mucinex taken before ovulation helps thin out cervical mucus...this will help the sperm swim up faster.
--Eating pineapple core after ovulation helps improve chances of implantation by increase blood flow to the uterus.
--stop trying to time sex to ovulation period..sometimes most miss the fertile window while trying to time sex. Just have sex everyother day immediately after your period ends. I.e if your period ends on day 4, start having sex on day 5, 7, 9 etc
--stop using soap/femfresh etc to wash your vagina and dont insert anything there. You'd kill the good bacteria meant to be there and change the PH level of your vagina thereby making it almost like a spermicide (killing sperms that enter the vag)...

Shady92:
Ok ma'am. Its painless, just that i got married 2months back and my wife isnt pregnant. I know its too early to be worried. Thanks ma

You should see a urologist to proffer solution.

kosi2018:
Hello mamas, how has the journey been?, my journey have been hectic, and I've been through alot. I just want to pour my heart here and also share my progress so far, because I know very soon I will make reference to it.
So, after much herbal drugs here and there for hydrosalpinx, I and my dear husband decided that I should have a salpingectomy done(removal of the affected tube), while we continue trying naturally with the patient tube and also save up for ivf, the surgery was done last week Tuesday, without complications, but the doctor ended up carrying out tubal ligation instead of the total removal of the tube, according to him him he did what was best for me, because there was a lot of adhesions and he didn't want me to bleed too much, the cut I have on my stomach is like that of a CS, very long, while the surgery was going on I could sense the doctor's confusion and frustration, he had to call another doctor on phone while in the theatre to come assist him, we waited for some minutes before he came, and continued with him. Since he said he did what was best for me, I am not complaining, though I wanted it removed, but I give God all the Glory, and I trust him to perfect all that he has started.

Pele. I know it seems heartbreaking that your chances of conceiving naturally have been cut but look on the bright side....only the living can procreate.
Take your time to heal and keep putting money together for the IVF, with the hydrosalpinx gone your success rate for IVF has increased. I pray you get your BFP at your first trial.
But make sure to study the IVF thread well before you start and prepare your body very well for the procedure.

iamfertile:



I think it's hcg but I thought it's only given as a shot ONCE when follicles measure about 18mm

FSH: Follicle stimulating hormone injection is given to help grow the eggs (sometimes in addition to clomid or letrozole) and HCG given at egg maturity to rupture/release the egg.

Lagbenjo:
Hello house
Please mamas I need urgent reply to this question as my period is giving sign of coming

What are the injections that are given to husband and wife when trying to conceive called? The injection is given for 7days and after the 7th day the husband and wife must have sex that night

What is the function to the man and woman?
Please, where can my husband and I be given such injection in lbadan?

Who has got this type of injection and resulted into pregnancies ?

Please share your experiences . Thank you

FSH and HCG injections are administered to help a woman ovulate.
I dont know what injection you are referring to for men.
FSH and HCG should only be administered under close supervision as side effects include Ovarian cyst.

Linda2019:
my husband is scared of the idea of water his doctor friend said it worsens colic in baby and causes the baby to fall sick in the nearest future but I gave my first son water very well before he was 6months. I don't know why doctors keep saying water is dangerous for a baby that is not up to 6months

No doctor will tell you not to give water to a mixed or formular fed baby.
Doctors only advocate for no water on exclusively breastfed babies.
Breastmilk contains a high percentage of water and nutrients to sustain a baby for the first 6months of life. Breastmilk isnt "heavy" thats why mothers are advised to breastfeed on demand or every 2 hours. The baby’s stomach at that time is still very small so giving water means taking up space for milk in the stomach thereby reducing the nutrients the baby should receive at each feed.

Mrs1010A:
I did all,

I have been tracking my ovulation, infact from day 10 we have sex on a regular till day 17

Whats your cycle length?

Highman23:
Hey everyone, asking this question for my babe

She saw her period last month by 13th

She was supposed to ovulate around 26-27th but started bleeding around 24th (she said the bleeding is like her period)

The bleeding was coming and going since then up until 9th of this month.

She was supposed to see her original period by 10th but nothing till now although she tells me it's because she has been having what looks like period for days.

She is not having any symptoms but I just want to understand, is pregnancy a possibility here?

We never had sex close to her fertile days but she started bleeding even before ovulation or during ovulation sef

Can anyone clear me on this.

P.S. she took postpill like 4 days before ovulation, she has taken it before and never had this effect on her so I don't know if it's the one.

This isnt the right thread for your concerns.
However, she can do a PT to clear doubts...then see a doctor for the irregular bleeding.

Mamabella:
current weight is 6.4kg at 6 month plus.
My question was which of the formula I sent a baby add weight more . SMAGOLD OR APTAMIL.

With a birth weight of 2.6kg, at 6 months your baby is supposed to weigh 5.2kg. She's weighing 6.4kg what else do you want from her?
Keep giving healthy meals and milk.

Pojomojo:
8 months pregnant it's not easy sha

God will make it easy. Wishing you a safe delivery

Teebim:


The one that did not mention adhesion came first.
Yes I have done hormonal profile, which shows my progesterone is low.

Someone already listed how to clear the adhesions.
Hormonal profile checks other hormones apart from progesterone. If your progesterone is low on day 21 it means you aren't ovulating..the other hormones will tell you why. Post the result if you have it and if it was done within the last 6 months

Mamabella:
Good afternoon mama's..pls my baby of 6month mistaken scratch her face with her nails when she was about 4month old and now d Mark as refused to go or clear off.
.please what cream can I use to make d scar go away or clear off.

Give it some more time, it will fade off

MumIbeji:
Good morning mamas.
Please I need a remedy for cattarh for my 4 months old DS.
NB: His nose is not blocked, it's flowing out especially when he sneezes

Doctors usually give piriton and vitamin C.

Healthquest:

Yes, I've been on antibiotics but could clomid be the culprit here because prior my pregnancy there was no sign of fibroid.



PLS WHAT CAN YOU SUGGEST I USE TO STOP THE BLEEDING

It could be clomid but also remember you were pregnant. Pregnancy can also make fibroids grow.

You need to know the cause of the bleeding to know how to stop it.

Healthquest:



I'm still bleeding up till this moment and after 3 D and C with multiple scans which I've uploaded,
I went into herb and the new scan shows no retain products but myeloma (fibroid) ,I don't know how possible to have fibroid so quick with this and if the clomid is the cause of this fibroid.

Someone should check for me if fibroid is possible inside the uterus and could retain product turns into fibroid or it could build up within 2 weeks.

Below is the scan...pls help explain further too



@everyone pls.... help. @mumytoo and others

Sorry for what you're going through.
Its possible the fibroids were mistaken for RPOC and causing the bleeding.
Do the HVS to rule out infection ( I hope youve been on antibiotics?) and hormonal profile as suggested. Hormonal profile will be a bit tricky though as you don't know your cycle days

Teebim:
Good evening everyone. Today is Mother’s Day and I’m really depressed. However I cannot give up hope now. Pls can you help me interpret my HSG result. They were done at separate times in different labs

I’ve been ttc for 21 months now

Which of the results came first?
One says adhesion and the other doesnt mention adhesion. Both your tubes are open in both results.
Have you done hormonal profile?

giftfromGod:
Good morning all. Pls can I get an interpretation of what my HSG results says. Thanks in advance

Go do a scan.

Happy mothers day to all our lovely mommies in waiting.

Adesquare2:
Good morning ma'am. I remembered you talking about engaging a speech therapist in one of your post. I urgently need one for my son and will appreciate if you can recommend one that is effective but not too expensive. My son will be 2 next month and he only reads 1 - 20, A-Z and aings 3 songs. Nothing else. He does not even respond to greetings and does not call names. I will appreciate getting your contact so for more effective follow up.

Thanks. quote author=sugah post=111109785]
DM me with your details

Good evening. I've replied your dm...
But i dont think there's a need to fret, he's just turning 2. Is he in school yet? Does he have siblings or neighbours kids he plays with? These things affect speech development.
If you still want to schedule an evaluation with the therapist id send you her details but i think he'd benefit from interacting with people albeit forced interaction.
Miss Rachel on Youtube is a good interactive/learning channel for kids. Also follow "speechsisters" on IG for tips on how to force him to communicate.

Mommdav:


No dear, I didn't Read again

From her report her range is within normal, which ofcos is close to being out of normal. Which is why I recommended/suggested those eggs quality suppliments The range of the lab she used said normal. Check her report/lab result.

Maybe im not reading it correctly....her fsh value is 19.39 and normal range is 1.96-7.70..isnt that way out of range?

mirob:


Good morning ma’am, I am taking all these drugs now and also fertile lady, folic acid and DHEA because I am in my 41, I hope they are not too much, should I include Vitamin E or are these okay?
Thank you ma’am for your prompt response.
I really appreciate this group, may God grant our heart desires. Amen.

I was going to say momadav made a mistake in her statement about your FSH being ok but she adviced correctly about ubiquinol. Your FSH is high meaning ovarian reserve is low so you need all the good supplements you can to ensure only quality eggs are released. Add ubiquinol to what you are taking. You will benefit greatly by following the IVF thread to see how the ladies prepare their bodies for IVF.

Jureal:
Good day mama's pls I need your inputs. Thank you in advance

Good evening all, I did fibroid surgery 20 days ago, recuperating at home. The doctor says that we can resume sex 6weeks post surgery and start ttc after 6months. He also said we should come for family planning as soon as we resume sex to avoid pregnancy before the 6mths period of healing. Pls has anyone experience this? Is it safe?

I was also told to wait 6weeks and 6 months for sex and pregnancy respectively..but i wasnt asked to do family planning.
What type is the doctor suggesting? Since its just 6months wouldnt condoms be just ok? Pls find out from your doctor what type he wants to give. Family planning methods are generally safe.

Or maybe he wants to give combination pill that'll also help you ovulate when youre ready.
Do not be scared.

NeroPapas:


Yesso baby dust to everyone. In my case I realised I was the one with issue. I only came here to suggest and advised on what worked for me!

I did not curse anyone's peace because I feel I might be laughed at!
Why would someone say what's wrong with them and curse people's peace because she perceived there might be not too cool response from some people? Abeg I don talk my own.

You can correct somebody without bringing down their countenance. What exactly is the essence of your last statement in your reply to her? You are a father now, act like one. There'd be times when your children will behave badly and test your patience, start learning to correct in love.
