Good afternoon mamas.
Please I just discovered my baby was pulling his left ear and I took a touch to check, lo and behold I saw creamy discharge in the ear coming to the external part.
I plan to visit hospital tomorrow but I want to know if anyone has experienced this before.

Most likely infection. No worries, just make sure to see a pediatrician and it'll be sorted.

Depends on your location. I live in Ikeja and buy from Alade Market.

makems:
Thank you sugar.
Varicocele is ruled out.

Has he done hormonal profile to see if it's a hormonal issue?
Has the doctor tried treating him with clomid?

Mandela89:
ma, how bad is varicocele grade 1 with a normal sperm count and good parameters

If the sperm parameters are good, (above 15Million count and above 50% motility and morphology) then there's no problem.
Dymo11 recently had a bfp with varicocele, you can chat him up to find out if it's a similar grade.

Andrenalin:
Thanks…
And u said is cheaper than Ivf right…

Yes it is cheaper.

cherishyy:
Thanks
I did at PT but it was negative.
Please what type of investigation?

Scan to rule out fibroids..

Charliiee:
Hello,
Please is it safe to travel by road (private car) with a 2 weeks old baby from Kogi to Lagos.

Baby will be fine for the trip. But how about the mummy? Will she be fine for the trip? Has she recovered fully?

cherishyy:
Hello fruitful mamas, is it possible to have implantation bleeding and still on go to have a period?
@ sugar

Did you do a PT that tested positive? If no, then it wasnt implantation bleeding but abnormal uterine bleeding that should be investigated.

Andrenalin:
Greetings, can I understand this IUI more and where to carry out the operation?
Thanks

On where it can be done, any very good fertility hospital...depending on your location.

Hi mums hope our LOs are doing great, I am a first time mom, pls what good baby product can I use for my baby I have been using cussons for about a week n it is darkening my baby what can I use to return her to her colour n maintain her colour, also the oil dries out her hair n thins it out wat can I use. Tnx

Start with not oiling her hair everyday. In my personal experience, my baby got dark in the 2 months her Grandma was bathing her and pouring oil on the fontanelle that was dripping down her face. Caused her rashes too. All I did was stop the oil when I took over and her color returned.
If you can afford it, Aveeno and Sebamed are very hypoallergenic good products that wouldn't irritate your babies skin.

Also, the 'hair thinning' might be cradle cap. That needs to be treated. Is her scalp dry and scally?

futuremoma34:
Thank you for your advice and encouragement..I have decided to hire a nanny and I have accepted the offer. Thank you all

Congratulations mama

makems:
He's been placed on different supplements for improvement. So currently that's the one he is on. We have a gynea. Since no improvement I have to also try on my own side too.please we need help

If he's been treating the oligospermia for 7yrs and there isn't improvement, please consider other options.
..Seeing a urologist to rule out varicocele..
..IUI with donor sperm (less expensive)
..IVF with ICSI

ramatuoyiza:
but mostly I see greyhound buses on movies.. Aint thr services good?

Well, sort of.

I've used greyhound twice. First time was uneventful from Orlando to Atlanta Night bus so I slept all the way.
Second time the bus smelled of piss (from the toilet) and it wasn't pleasant at all.

LadySarah:
Is yours forward or backwards? Mine would crawl with belly backwards first then forwards.

Lol. She only moves forwards...but even that backwards crawl sef is still normal

makems:
My sugar mummies. I greet you all. I was just going through some post so I believe I will get help here. I was certified healthy last year though I still use some treatment. Hubby's results is a concern.. motility 10%. Morphology 10%. The volume was 1.5million. he's been on cellgivity, today he's bought live pure cleanser supplement. I want to get couples tea for him. I got for myself Evergreen formula for women. I have this dark discharge before the real period. I've treated candidiasis recently. Tomorrow I'm going for Flagyl, bco and Gent. I.v. please my sisters it's been 7 stressful yrs.please don't mind my grammar. I need help

Is your hubby's SFA recent and has he done another one either before or after this in the last 7yrs of your TTC?

If you've been certified ok why are you still loading yourself with medication and not tackling the main problem of sperm parameters?

1.5Million and 10% morphology and motility cannot get you pregnant. He needs to see a specialist preferably a urologist to find out the cause of the oligospermia.
It could be a lifestyle issue, hormonal or some other factor.
Cellgivity and the rest isn't what he needs pls.

FlowerGirl040:
Is just a matter of time my dear. but try not to allow her do so pls

Of course I do... but sometimes she's so fast

FlowerGirl040:
Lol @extra mop. Hope she do use her tongue to clean the tiles too lol

She rewards herself by licking the floor sometimes

Lagbenjo:
Doctors in the house , i beg you in the name of the God .Help interpret this result for me and hubby. Thank you

Not a doctor

The males sperm parameters are fair.
Count 21 Million, morphology 65% but motility is low at 40% it needs boosting.


Females hormonal profile:
Follicle stimulating hormone and progesterone are out of range. She's not ovulating.

You both need to work with a good doctor to help you get pregnant.

Stellx6:
Hello everyone, FTM hope I am welcome. Please I need your help, my babies are 8days today currently in NICU. Was told to be expressing breastmilk 2hourly. But my problem here is that I'm not lactation well, I barely manage to pump 20-40mls. Is there anything I could take to help out...... Please

Congratulations mama.

Plenty rest (I know!.... it doesn't make sense when you have to pump every 2 hours), plenty water, hot pap and pump pump pump.
20-40mls on day 8 isn't too bad...the supply will increase as you keep pumping.

If you have those battery operated pumps that you can carry around, you can just strap it on with pumping bra and pump all day round.
Else, have someone be washing and sterilising the pump in between pumps while you rest.
And eat well too, that also helps.

FlowerGirl040:
That was how my daughter crawl when she was little, from tummy to backward. Lol. I just let her be then. If I position her well, she goes back to tummy or moving backwards. And the next thing is to see her trying to stand, then walk.

Lol. It just doesn't look nice at all I pray she moves on to walking instead, I don't need the extra mop

I know it's normal but how can I get my dd to crawl on all fours instead of her tummy?

claseek:
Good evening

Good to be back here again
Is it normal for one breast to produce very little milk compared to the second?
I didn’t use a breast pump with my first child so I couldn’t have noticed if this was the case then

Although my breast milk supply is quite low with this baby, but after managing to pump like 90ml from the left breast, my right breast barely produced milk enough to fill a bottle water cover. It’s ridiculously low compared to the left. Is that normal

Well, I don't know if normal is the right word but yes I had same experience. My right boob always produced more milk when I express but for some unexplained reason my dd was rejecting the right boob at the same.
You can simultaneously breastfeed off one boob and express the other..the sucking helps increase the flow on the expressed side.

Greglak:
Mortality there is the percentage of dead sperm in motility parameter. Actively motile is 69 percent (which is good).

From the analysis, the result is okay

Then where is the value for morphology?

Sophzz:
Good Afternoon Bro. He repeated the test her is the result below.

As you can see there's a marked difference between both results.
But even this result is still somehow.
What do they mean by mortality of 16%? Or what's the word before the 16%?
Sperm parameters are volume, viscosity, (liquefaction rate), color, count, motility and morphology

@ladysarah your first paragraph is correct...
@formidablefunmi we aren't healthcare professionals so that question ideally should be directed to the doctor especially if they are still in the hospital

@ladysarah it's not unusual for a baby to be discharged without bcg. We were discharged without bcg cos the hospital had a certain day for immunisation so we returned to get it.
People should not be touching newborn babies anyways but extra care was advised in our case and even naming ceremony was postponed until she received bcg.
Also, a healthy baby doesn't need routine drugs. Only breastmilk is advised during the first 6 months of life. Medicine no be food.

FlowerGirl040:
Okay, and that position dey sweet o, especially when baby doesn't allow you to sleep

That's our only comfortable position.

Sophzz:
He abstained from sex for almost 4days before he went for the test

If he abstained from sex and masturbation for 4 days before the SFA then he should see a urologist.

viviparity:
sister,it was on the second day of my period, is any drug I can take to boost my we egg quality.it seem as if the doctor is concentrating on IVF cos it is IVF center

The result shows there's an issue with the ovaries/ovarian reserve.
I suggest you seek second opinion from another gynea preferably in a teaching hospital.

COQ10 is touted to help with ovarian reserve.
Fertilaid ovaboost helps with egg quality

FlowerGirl040:
Same thing happened to my sister's baby that year, but she was told is cos she do lay down to breastfeed him (They both lay on bed, while she sleeps and baby continue sucking as well) and she does that too frequent. But I don't know how true it is o, if it actually cause the yellow discharge.

Lying down to feed baby doesn't cause ear infection. It's a myth according to pediatricians.

viviparity:
Please, somebody should help me with this result, the doctor said that I should consider IVF but I didn't believe that.does it means there's nothing I can do?

What day of your cycle did you do the test?

Expectantmom:
Thanks mama. Please reply my DM

Done
