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...

Please assist with solution to this SFA result.
Obviously it's a bad one, what can be done to improve on it urgently?

Improve on the parameters urgently or you need urgent answers? Cos it takes at least 3months before any significant change is seen.
Get a combination of manix, vit E. Do a lifestyle change, if you drink or smoke you have to stop. Exercise and eat lots of fruits

Layormiii:
Hello house, I hope these two results are okay. I've had two miscarriages before

Sorry about the miscarriages. Were they early before 12 weeks? Were you given a reason why?

Your scan shows cysts on both ovaries and they're concerned about the endometrial plate.

Hormonal profile shows you aren't ovulating your prolactin is high and that might be the reason for the miscarriages. I hope you are working with a good gynecologist. Sprinkling baby dust

Mamas please where can I get August secrets food in Lagos

Preenxess:
Good morning experienced mamas.

I am a first time mother and my baby is over 5 weeks.

I am kind of worried my baby doesn't respond to sound. Hubby plays the home theatre very loud sometimes especially when baby is sleeping just to see if he'll be frightened.

Please l want to if it's normal

Why not get a hearing test done?

Chasicolis:
Please someone should help explain better.@sugah

Sorry I'm seeing this late.

Hope you've been BDing?
When you do, just put a pillow under your bum and sleep off afterwards (your dh can help you clean up).

A follow up scan will confirm if the follicles ruptured (ovulation occurred) but just keep BDing.

Congratulations in advance

Chasicolis:
Please someone should help us analyse this results and any possible suggestions.
@sugah

Sperm parameters are good.
142Million count, 70% motility, 60%morphology but there's staph infection

Ogesteve10:
Good evening my beautiful mothers, I'm new here. Please I wish to ask if anyone know about mbanefo fertility specialist hospital Enugu,I want to visit there because I have been trying to conceive for close to 2years without any result. I have ran hormone profile test and HSG with so many pelvic scan for ovulation tracking and all came out good and hubby's SFA is also good, All the test conducted in a teaching Hospital but wish to confirm the result else where and if there is any other thing I needed to do. Please help me out

@myredeemderlives DonaTee please help with info about this hospital.

sugarsugarify:
Good afternoon mummy,

Being a bit worried, noticed that every 4th day of my cycle , this thick blood drops off from me.....

Can you explain what it is.....

Also,the transvaginal test was taken 30th March 2021...being trying to conceive 2years now...any advise...done a fibroid operation 2017 ,so it's a no no for me again

You will need to check with your doctor about the clumps. (I used to have that prior to my Myomectomy)
Was the fibroids you removed in 2017 symptomatic and where they all removed? Scan says you have fibroids, intramural, and that may be the cause of the clumps.

@ Sugah

Do you suggest I carried out hormonal profile test or in what direction should I be considering?

Yes ma, you need to do a hormonal profile test to check your hormones and find out which hormone is abnormal and hindering ovulation

GreaterGraceGG:
May God answer us all
Was diagnosed of PID, my hvs result is out too, I saw scanty growth of Candida alb.....I was supposed to see the doctor that asked me to do the hvs but when I got to the hosp, I was told I've been referred to the gynae....I went to gynae, gynae asked me to go for series of tests (ECS, HSG and so on) which I don't think the results will be out anytime soon, and she said I should only come back when I have the results, I wasn't placed on any medication..... should I be worried?

You shouldn't do HSG while you have PID. The procedure may worsen the situation as the dye can push the infection to cause tubal blockage. Does the gyne know you have PID?

shadow88:
The viscosity is watery ma

Watery semen is only a problem if the sperm count is low....in this case its not low.

mide2love:
I haven't done any hormonal test

You need to do hormonal profile to see which hormones are abnormal. It's done on your cycle day 3 (FSH, LH, prolactin) and day 21 ( Progesterone)

shadow88:
His sperm is watery
That is where the issue is

145Million sperm count with 65% motility and 70% morphology? There's absolutely no problems there.

mide2love:
Good evening mother's to be.

I am new to this group, however, I needed help.

I have been married for 1 year and half.

I did scan and hsg which indicates, no fibroids, bilateral tubes,anteverted uterus, no ovarian cyst, no fallopian tube blockage all the organs are ok but pregnancy is not occuring, I did ovulation test which tested negative, whereas I have been on follic acid, ovumine also clomid but still not pregnant and also I do have very painful menstruation which I have once taken injection to suppress the pain, please what could be the cause of this?
My weight is 48kg

Welcome and may your stay be short.

Whats the result of your hormonal profile test (if any) so as to know which hormone is out of place and affecting ovulation?

Mandela89:

Please mamas help me out, I don’t know if letrozole delays AF
My doctor placed me on letrozole 5mg cd 2-6
Had a trigger shot on cday 15 after seeing a mature follicle of 22mm, 20mm, 23mm respectively, also I am metformin 1000mg daily divided doses for a month plus now, I have done 2 pt strip test and both bfn on cycle day 25 and 28, today is cycle day 31, my period is usually not late and it has always been 28days, I this I had cramp for 3days and it stopped yesterday, I am confused and anxious

Yes sis, unfortunately letrozole delays period. Give it some days and see what happens.

But I'm praying for a bfp for you.

Mandela89:
Good evening everyone, please I would like someone to help me interpret this result especially that part that reads head- 70%, midpiece 20 and tail 10%. What they mean

Count is good at 53million, motility and morphology also good at 60% but there's room for improvement...lifestyle changes, exercise avoiding alcohol /tobacco/steroids...

Morphology refers to the size, shape and appearance of sperm. They just gave details on the 40% abnormal form of the sperm. Of the abnormal sperms, 70% doesn't have head, 20% midpiece and 10% no tail). It's just more details that shouldn't bother you

goldtosure:
Good day everyone. Please wonderful mamas help interpret this semen analysis. Thank you.

40 million sperm count, very good morphology 86% and motility 75%.

TinaJoe:
Pls someone should help me interpret this semen analysis. Have been trying to post the result buh it refused to upload so I decided to type.
Appearance- greyish white
Viscosity- non viscocos
Volume 3.5ml
Motility progressively motile 40%
Non progressively motile 10%
Non motile 50%
Total counts 52×106
Immature cells 60%

While the sperm count is OK, (52 million) the motility and morphology are both below min of 50%.
He needs to boost his numbers

Please, Sabi Mama help me analyse this serum hormone profile done on cycle day 5

Did she go back on day 21 for the progesterone test?

@Babygal2020

claridicta:
Good evening Sabi mama. Abeg help a FTM.
I gave birth 8 days ago. And decided to do EBF. However breast milk didn't come on time so he was on glucose water for two days before breast milk came. After I started with breastfeeding I noticed that baby has been pooing almost 6 times within 24 hours and is runny and bright yellow. I don't know what to do. He is sucking well and not weak or running temperature. But he poos 4 times in the day and twice at night. Is it normal. And please are there foods I should avoid..

Very runny and bright yellow could be an indication of diarrhea. Does it totally sink into the diaper?

MummyD2020:
Hello ladies, i really need your opinion on something that has been bothering me. I am proud to be in the forum because i learn alot. I am from nov 2020 group and i have a 4 year old son plus my nov girl. I am seriously googling, pondering, researching just name it about whether to add third baby. Honestly i know that this will be considered by me lastly but i just cant make up my confused mind. Please no bashing because i know this is a discussion between hubby and me. I already told him i wasnt going for a third one around the period i birthed my girl. Omo, the pains and stress of csection and sleeplessness were taking its toll on me. So the guy fled. So now, he was like, whatever i want. So he is indifferent. I dont just know why i cant decide. Please TTmamas any clue? Im in my late thirties.

Your decision to increase your family size shouldn't be via googling now .
I think the major determining factor is the sort of life you want for the kids and yourself and which is very much centered around finances.
If your pocket/savings/investments can comfortably cater to basics (shelter, accommodation, food, good education upto tertiary level) and others (vacations, eventuality of a loss of income etc) then by no means go ahead.

Personally I've stopped at 2, 4yr son and December 2020 girl (I'm in my late 30s too)...this is what we can raise comfortably in this Nigeria of today..........but if I decide to relocate abroad I might add a 3rd


After all Tony Elumelu has 7children in this our present economy

olabrinks:
I feel like I’m going through Postpartum depression, even though my son is 1. I really need someone to talk to, I feel so alone. Any mums in the uk or anywhere please reach out to me. I need friends.

PPD can come at anytime. I pray you find the much needed support.

Tutu82, Ginaz, nneejima,

Points to note:
Fibroids are predominant in blacks .
Nigerian brand of folic acid (given at ANC ) is 5milligram(5000micrograms). Daily recommended dose of folic acid (foreign brands) is 400micrograms.


While there's still no data on how and why fibroids form (I believe if this plagues whites too there would have been ample data already), our doctors generally advise not to take the 5mg folic acid as it tends to increase the size of fibroids due to excess blood. Same reason why fibroid grows during early stages of pregnancy (for a coexisting pregnancy/fibroids) and sometimes degenerates when the baby starts growing bigger.

From personal experience, with symptomatic fibroids and 6months of nonstop bleeding my doctors only put me on iron tablets and monitored my pcv...before surgery.
With my second pregnancy and coexisting fibroids, my doctor didn't give me the Nigerian brand folic acid in the early stages of the pregnancy as I already had a case of threatened abortion (and he stated the reason too).

If you have fibroids with heavy bleeds, take iron tablets and stay away from Nigerian brand folic acid.

Hello fruitful mamas...baby dust to us all

Has anyone gotten pregnant or know of someone who got pregnant despite high prolactin levels?
This nurse be scaring me saying conception can not happen, and even if it does happen baby cannot be carried to term.
All other hormones are fine, just the prolactin is high. I see my period regularly, and the stretchy CM also.

Su.gah, tripletw. ins222 Would appreciate your inputs mamas please. Thank you ma's

Good day mama. As others have correctly said, high prolactin can cause annovulation or blighted ovum but it is treatable and people have gone on to carry successful pregnancies. People use orthodox (ewedu therapy, cabbage) and medical (dostinex, parlodel etc) means to tackle it.

**Baby dust**

m4mnkem:
Good evening beautiful mamas, how are we all doing? I pray God grant us all children that will take care of us when we are old Amen.
Today makes it 9weeks and 4days after myomectomy. I decided to go check it out through scan on my own and the result is attached below. Pls, mamas and papas what do you suggest I do because I am not totally heal from my last surgery still feeling pains and this now. Please help me with what I can do now. Thanks for your responses.

You should have a conversation with your doctor who performed the surgery to know why you still have fibroids 9weeks after......I know some doctors only remove problematic fibroids and leave unproblematic ones while some take everything out. I think the former method is to reduce surgery time and blood loss.

Krak:
He drinks lots of water. What is prune juice and where can I get it?

Youd find it at the baby food section of walmart/target etc. It's a natural laxative. Mix with water and give on an empty stomach butnits only to relief current constipation. You'll have to make baby diet a fibre rich one and give vegetables too

Krak:
Almost 7 months. Still taking breastmilk, but just started taking pap and other foods.

Is he drinking water with the other foods? Give lots of water and if it still persists give him prune juice.
