Hi sisters,

Please does trigger shot always equals pregnancy? And how much is it?

Sis, calm down.

I had to read your previous posts to get an idea of where you are at.
Leave trigger shots for now and concentrate on clearing the partial blockage of your right tube before trying to conceive, you risk having an ectopic and totally losing the tube if the partial blockage isn't cleared.
Use the serrapeptase, castor oil massage diligently for at least 3 months and do a tubal flushing and repeat the HSG.
When you've confirmed the tubes are cleared then you can work inducing ovulation with letrozole+FSH+HCG shots.
Your husband should keep taking his supplements too.

Good day mommas in the house. Please, can someone kindly reply this?
I am experiencing same ish at 7 months. Thank you

This is probably coming too late already but....healthy fatty foods to give..avocados, adding butter to meals (butter please not margarine) adding oils (palm oil etc) to meals..

Dymo11:
Okay.. thanks
We tested out the trigger shot tho but still in doubt whether it came back.

And today is day 14 after the trigger shot.... ovulated two days after the trigger.... cuz we got the surge the following day after the trigger, and ovulation is typically 24 hours after surge.


Would wait it out till missed period sha

*Fingers crossed for you*

Dymo11:
Today is cycle day 24 and 11dpo....cam anyone see a line pls.... Seeing a line and doubting at the same time...can it be trigger hcg

The first green was 2 days ago...second 2 are today ..all with afternoon pee

@sugah

There are 2 red lines in the first 2 strips.....it can be residual hcg from the shot still showing up or might be hcg increasing....the hcg shot typically stays in the system for about 10-14days so it might be it or not.
Only way to confirm is to either wait some days and test after her missed period or do a betaHCG test to see if the hcg is increasing.

Glorioussugar:
Good afternoon everyone, please is fsh Injection same as trigger shot?

Nope.
HCG Is trigger shot.

amSteph:

Thank you momma. Good to hear about the healthy hair void of the 1year traditional cut. If only I knew the right kiddies hair food to rejuvenate her front edges.

I’m located at Awoyaya. I don’t mind at all pls. I’m open to getting professional opinions. He’s just non-verbal as u put it. Everything other aspect is pretty much okay.

Uwc
The lady I know is in Maryland which is quite a distance from you. I'd send you her contact details. You can ask if she has someone close to your location she can recommend for the assessment or you can spare the time.

But I think I mentioned it to you before, especially for a non verbal child, the first step is having a hearing test done to rule out hearing difficulties.

amSteph:
Hahaha... hello mommaz. How are you all? Been a minute!

How’s our LOs doing? Hope all is under control. Stay strong o.

Am struggling with cutting DD hair. Shes close to 14months now, hair grew well all round. I wanted to skip the whole 1yr barb thingy since hers is full. However, her edges seems to be cutting suddenly and am forced to consider cutting. I’ve used ori and coconut oil for her hair with occasional aloe Vera steaming.

I don’t know if someone knows good growth creams that can restore her edges or I should just close eyes and shave it off clean?

Did any mom here skip the 1year barb? Did u wish you hadn’t? Or the hair went on to be just fine? Thanks.

Update: DS isn’t still talking much. No mommy, daddy or nothing constant. Am trying to be patient but I dunno. Maybe I’ll consider Speech therapy by beginning of next month.

Does anyone know a good speech therapist that produce results within a short time frame? An honest one too. Moms that have gone the speech therapy route for delayed speech, how was the journey? Thanks.

My friends wife didn't cut her daughters hairs at 1year cos they both came with a full head of hair and the hair is still full and healthy looking.


On your DS and speech therapy, if there indeed is a problem, early intervention is necessary. These formative years is when they learn speech and add on with academics and everyother thing afterwards...don't let a speech delay requiring therapy linger for too long so it doesn't affect academics.

But he needs to be assessed by a speech and language pathologist to ascertain the need for intervention and what intervention is required.
(...some non verbal kids start talking after certain foods are eliminated from their diet.)

On how long therapy will take, it depends on how early you start and the home support he gets from you parents too.
A resource you can try in the interim is Gemiini.org.

Depending on your location, I have the contact of a licensed speech and language pathologist to help with the assessment.

Tinudesi:


Am a ftm with a baby of three months but this speech issue i think it's too early to visit a speech therapy he is just 14 months give him till 18 months first I think children differs my thought though I stand to be corrected wetin I know self

Different child.

TinaJoe:
Gud evening lovely mama's in the house. Pls i notice my boobs is always sore and heavy immediately after ovulation but once AF starts, the soreness will stop. Pls is this normal? Does anyone else experience dis?

It's called PMS and it's normal.

Halcyon123:
So far I believe reproductive health is fine ,had I first pregnancy without stress same with the second which was an ectopic which resulted in the lost of my right tube. So I just have a tube.

Have you actually carried out HSG and hormonal profile after the ectopic?
You know ectopic pregnancy is usually as a result of conceiving with a partially blocked tube.
Some people experience secondary infertility (infertility even after having previous pregnancy/children).

Tohhseen:
.

One can only say you have a delay in conception if you have actively tried to conceive (sex every other day during your fertile window) for 1 year if you are below 35yrs and 6 months if you are above 35yrs.
So, no you don't have a delay at conceiving after trying for just 2 months.
However, you need to find out the cause of the painful menstruation. And please stop the felvin, it aggravates the situation.
Have you done a scan?

Joshua62:
Am back again oo

My 6months boy have been so cranky..and it's affecting us mentally.

I don't know if it is just teething or only cold or both...I hate to see him so uncomfortable.

- He has catarrh (runny)
- Coughs (anytime he does this, I can sense
mucus in his throat/chest area)
- Fever (37.4 Deg. Celcius, it drops when he
uses paracetamol)
- this morning now he has lost appetite..the last time he ate was around 4AM
- Cranky attitude

My wife does EBF

Drugs we use for him (was prescribed by the Dr yesterday)

PCM, Vamee C..this morning I had to go rush and buy Tixylix...

I am tired...what else can we do to relief him...seeing him in that state is making me feel bad.

Come to my rescue oooo.

Thanks to all mamas.

Pele daddy.

Please stop the tixylix....cough syrups are not recommended for children below 5yrs old.

Did they check his chest for clear breathing? Did they run a blood test for infection or malaria?

Iwantpeace:
Hello mothers in the house .. I am a first time mom .my baby is 10 days old today. He has practically refused to suckle. If I put breast in his mouth he will shout and struggle to remove it . But if I express it inside feeding bottle he will take it without hassle . This is making me worried and am seeing some signs of postpartum depression in me. Each time he refuses my breast it breaks my heart and I will just sit down and be crying .. someone pls help me I DNT know what else to do

Well-done mama. Please don't be depressed. Its possible he isn't latching well and not getting milk from your breast hence the frustration.
If you are able to express enough to feed him then you're making enough milk so the latching might be the culprit. Is your nipple inverted? Get a nipple shield if it is. Else you have to learn to get him to latch properly.
Watch this video on how to get your baby to latch and remember to start off when baby isn't hungry.
Also stop feeding him with bottle. The milk will flow faster from the bottle nipple so getting the milk slower from your nipple will annoy him (nipple confusion). You can keep expressing but feed him with a spoon and cup.

Joshua62:
Good morning to all,

My 6months son had vitamin A at the hospital yesterday.. through this night till this morning..he was cranky, didn't sleep well and had fever.

He has runny nose and coughs as if he want to vomit.

Doctor said vitamin A does not have such side effect and said maybe it common cold.
She said we should get "piriton expectorant".
Is this drug good to use for a 6months baby.

Thanks




Thanks

Yes, piriton is safe for babies. You can also give Vitamin C

Esthered:
Good morning Mamas,

I want to share my testimony. I've been trying to conceive for over a year of marriage. Sometimes when we try, I end up having pains and after testing, doctors say it's PID.
.

Congratulations mama. Wish you a healthy and happy pregnancy

migeoart:
Good evening sabi women is been a while I came here! I want to give trying to conceive one last shot, all my clomid trial ended in miscarriages
I want to give letrozole a shot cos I read it works better for pcos patients I am self medicating cos most Nigerian Gynaes are so dumb when dealing with pcos, they keep giving me clomid which I can’t take anymore

I will do all ovulation tracking
Pls tell all you know about letrozole my menses started today

Sorry about your miscarriages.
Clomids job is to help you ovulate and it worked if you got pregnant. The miscarriages may have been as a result of hormonal imbalance...so saying your clomid trials ended in miscarriages and you want to switch to letrozole isn't very correct.

I can't remember the dosage of letrozole but since you are tracking you can include a trigger shot to ensure the follicles rupture.
Good you are taking myo inositol, it's amazing for people with pcos.
However, when you confirm pregnancy do get progesterone support until 12 weeks. Cyclogest suppositories 400mg.

Also, what's your partners swimmer parameters? Hope they're in top shape.

gassbee:
wat about if one wants to get a male

For a male, the egg has to be waiting before the sperm is introduced so that fast swimming Y chromosones can get to it and fertilize it.

So you'd have to abstain before the egg is released and only have sex after you've confirmed it via transvaginal scan.

Felixitie:


I think it is the thickened lining of the uterus waiting for conception that shed as menses each month cycle. The unfertilzed egg get absorb one way or the other. Some women see their menses without ovulation or egg being released each month, what can you say about that..?
I stand to be corrected tho....

You might be correct actually...

motic2:

Hello able mama's please i need your view on how to conceive a baby girl. I intend to start trying by august your opinion is highly needed

Thanks in anticipation

Theoretically, if you want a female you'd have to have sex before your ovulation and abstain after the egg drops.
So if you don't already know when in your cycle you ovulate, you can start tracking now.

You may already know this...
The egg has the X chromosone.
The sperm has X chromosones and Y chromosones.
When the X sperm fertilizes the egg you get an XX (female) when the Y sperm fertilizes the egg you get an XY (males). X chromosones swim slowly but they live longer inside the uterus. Y chromosones swim very fast but they don't live long in the uterus.
The egg, after its released, lives for some days in the uterus and if not fertilized breaks and sheds itself as menstrual flow.

Allansmith:
Good morning to all the Mummies in the house... I salute and appreciate each and every one of us for the plenty help and first hand solution gotten here.

I am here for help again though yet to get an answer for the last question asked about my daughters hair that is chopped out at the back and all efforts to get hair grow in that part of her head proves abortive... I seriously need help on this.....

Just of recent I noticed that my daughter refuses to eat.. She is 2 yrs and a few weeks old.. She has been introduced to solid which she does eat including her golden morn but in the last three days she has refused to eat except drink milo tea and caprisonne... This has beigin to worry me and I am wondering what can be done to have her eat or show willingness to eat food....

I would appreciate help on this as soon as possible
...Thank you Ma'am

You might need to try the products recommended by Zaynie for the alopecia.

For rejecting food issue, usually the first signs of ill-health in babies is they start to reject food. You might want to take her to the hospital to run tests.

amadaovie:
Hello Everyone, happy to be a part of this thread. It's been very educative and entertaining all together.

My baby girl is 18months old and living with her mother at her grandma's place for now. I went visiting recently and saw her using Premier soap to bath my girl. I was so angry but had to hold myself. I was very disappointed becos I thought as an elderly lady, she should know better than me and even the mother about stuffs like that. I also found out that the mother gave her Caro White cream to use for the baby. in addition, the baby's new growing hair is also very painful during combing of which I found out that they don't even use any cream at all on her hair.

I have told them to stop using those items ASAP and intend to go there with a better soap, cream and hair cream on my next visit usually every Sundays. I was also adviced to use Mega Growth cream for her hair.

Please, experienced mother's in the house, I need your honest recommendations. I want my babygirl to look fresh and adorable.

Please advise. Thanks

Your anger is understood

Caro white is horrible even for adults let alone a baby.
Baby brands Sebamed, Aveeno are very good.
Also get baby hair products for natural hair. Shampoo and leave-in conditioner and a water spray bottle. They should only shampoo the hair once a week. Spray the hair with water and apply small conditioner then comb.

busybeei5:

Opeademi:
Please can a 35% Sperm motility impregnate a woman?
And also for a woman TTC, what tests can I take to check if I'm fit to conceive?
Baby dusts on everyone!

@sugah

What are the other parameters of the sperm? Count, morphology etc....that'll help give a full picture.


Recommended tests:
Pelvic scan
Hormonal profile
*HSG

Dymo11:
Pls is that not the aim of the trigger shot..to ensure the follicle ruptures so there won't be a need for scan?

Well, you're not just trying for a baby but for a specific gender. The egg has to be waiting for the sperm to get a boy so you'd have to be sure the egg is already released and waiting before you introduce the sperm.. Its not a matter of if the eggs will be released but when...timing is paramount in gender selection.
If you BD before the egg is released, you'd most likely have a girl...im sure you've done your research already sha.

Dymo11:
Pls when should we have sex when trying for a boy...we had the trigger shot yesterday by 7pm.....and today by 6pm we had an opk surge.....pls can we wait for 48hours which is Friday night to try for a boy....

Pls suggestions

@su. gah

Abstain until you confirm the egg is released. A transvaginal scan will show if the follicle has ruptured (ovulation) then you can fire down.

Best wishes...
