Good day everyone, please am planning to go for my FET frozen transfer after a failed cycle.Please can you tell me what and what to do for a successful cycle thanks in advance
Hello Sis, i pray God will surprise you pleasantly this time around.

though I had a fresh cycle, apart from the drugs i took i made sure to keep my feet warm from ER and all through the 2ww, I ate warm/hot meals and avoided cold drinks i was majorly on bed rest during this period, though i didn't have a choice cos i was battling ohss for most part but above all it was prayers and God.

I couldn't stand the no bathing after ET so i took my warm bath as usual, watched alot of comedy movies/videos and kept myself happy and in a relaxed mood all through the 2ww, spoke to all my reproductive organs to work together for conception and pregnancy including all the drugs and injections too. I continued all my prenatal supplements (Vit E 400iu 2ce daily, Omega 3 Fish oil 1000mg 3ce daily, Osteocare 1tab 2ce daily and pregnacare original, i stopped Coq10 100mg 2ce daily few days after ET)

I have no idea on endo scratch and for prednisone, i started at ET 10mg 2ce daily and starting weaning at 9weeks to stop at 10weeks

If you are still using same hospital, pls ask them for breakdown of the entire process from start to finish including drugs/injections so you can know if anything is out of place this time around and raise alarm if need be. Pls no surprises this time around. Better still it is not too late to transfer your embies to another trusted hospital ooo

All the best Sis.

Good day mamas

So i did a test on monday and it was positive. Judging from my lmp, I'm just 5weeks+. This morning, i got to work and started feeling really uncomfortable. No pains, just discomfort around my stomach. Then i later noticed i was bleeding, with little. I went to the hospital immediately, the doctor said 5weeks is too early for a scan. That i will be placed on bedrest in the hospital and given progesterone and another injection. Now my question is, is there no way to check if the baby is fine or not?

Cc peachbloom
congratulations sis, nothing will cut your joy short.

From what i know, trans-vag.inal can pick up just the yolk sac and gestational sac at 5 weeks and from 6-8 weeks heartbeat can be seen, most Dr's like to wait until the hbt can be detected so as to not get the mum unnecessarily worried.

Another way is to check beta hcg level, don't worry just relax and follow ur Dr's advise everything will be fine by God's grace

Good evening house!
Pls, I need a tested and trusted supplement to improve sperm motility. I don't really know why the motility is very hard to improve.
Below are my hubby's previous and recent results.
Hello Ma'm, have you tried COq10?

I tried this with my dh one month and it greatly improved overall SFA parameters. He was taking 100mg daily, i incorporated a lot of walnut - asala and banana as snacks for him also with tigernut, coconut & dates drink i prepare myself and his entire parameters improved, though there was really nothing wrong initially just wanted the entire count to increase which happened

Above all, back it up with prayers.

I'm just looking like I'm I even pregnant? Cos other than frequent urination and extra eating I don't really have symptoms though I'm in my 5th week.
Sweetie, just keep praying it remains that way, shey you read how TeamApril mamas are complaining about nausea? Happily embrace the no symptoms ooo, cos the symptoms/nausea can be frustrating when it hits

Good evening mama....how is everyone doing?
Big congratulations to all that delivered and thank God for safe delivery....
Please mamas, i have been having severe body itching for the past 4days now...I'm 10 weeks, please is this normal? Is there anything i can use?my body is on fire...please respond...thank u
Hello Ma'm, please see your Dr, mine is not intense and not all over my body, it's just mainly my legs and occasionally my upper arm

I noticed it happens after bathing so i had to stop bathing with sponge and also stopped washing my legs with soap or even rubbing it during bath time i also only dab water off with my towel otherwise if i drag the towel over my legs it starts to itch badly and nothing stops it, no cream, oil or even diluted ACV stops until it runs it course.

Please see a Dr don't wait until the normal 12weeks for antenatal registration

Vwoman200:
Although I will start the ewedu therapy tomorrow as suggested by Mama Sugah,

This is the result of my Hormonal Test please I would be so grateful if anyone with similar result can advise me on what medication or natural remedies that helped.

A gynecologist the lab scientists referred me to was already calling all kinds of sums of money on the phone, the moment he said I should come with 30k for consultation I began to think to myself that if he's already asking for such amount for consultation, then cry cry

I pray tonight that our faith will work out good results for us all and congratulations again to the newest preggo mamas kiss
if not that Dr's/govt hospitals are on strike i would have suggested you go to one, though process maybe slow but you will get affordable care there. Most private hospital consultation is usually around that amount 10k - 30k depending on location of hospital

In addition to the ewedu therapy you should include cabbage in your diet too, some lactating mamas use this to stop/reduce their milk supply.

I am not a Dr oo, just my 5 kobo advise, Your LH is also high which corroborates the low P4 i.e annovulation and may also mean PCOS, for natural remedies, i will advise you try PCOS diet and if you are on the heavy side, try loose some weight also. These will take at least 3 months b4 you see changes oo.

All the best, may God surprise you pleasantly and soonest also.

Thanks ma'm

Yes, i guess diff hospital with their protocol mine says to stop at 10weeks, just want to know if mamas stopped at once or weaned off their medication.

My clinic said to stop at once, but concerned about developing reaction to stopping cold turkey.

Good morning fruitful mamas. Please does IUI usually come out positive?
It's hard to say but mostly yes for unexplained infertility where everything seems fine or where there is ovulatory issue that can be assisted with stimulation also some not so serious spe.rm issues it is just few steps better than regular inter-cos, sp.er.m is washed, concetrated, cervix is by-passed with timed/super-ovulation.

It is way -way easier and simpler than IVF and cheaper.

I got a bfp on my 1st try and some other mama's i know on TTC thread, but 3 cycles after the 1st were all bfn, my advise is to give it a try if you are suitable for it before going on to more complex procedures.

All the best

I'm so heartbroken right now and feel like killing myself. Hubby recovered from covid so we had to do semen analysis again. Before then, I was giving him quava leaves and carrot everyday. And the the glory of God, the result came out well. So my gynea decided to place me on letrozole /fsh Injection again, he upped the dosage of the letrozole. I day 10, 2 dominant follicles were found on left and right, and the doctor triggered that same day, because one of the follicles on the left was ready 23mm. And he asked us to baby dance everyday. 24 hrs later, I ovulated. But I'm so shocked that my hubby didn't have erection. I had to run out to get some drugs for him, it didn't help, played some porn, it didn't still help. We struggled from Morning till night, no erection. Then in the night, he started having erection, but when he tried to make love to me, he becomes soft completely. All through the night till this morning. I woke up and saw a very hard erection, I had to wake him up so we can BD, we started th BD and he just got soft completely. And to think that he's going back to base this weekend. And I won't see him again till next year. I don't know why God is allowing this to happen to me. I'm sorry for my long epistle.
Hello Sis, don't ever think such thought about yourself, never ever go that far because of a passing phase and please stop putting so much pressure on yourself and hubby. There is more to this life than children ooo, take it from someone that has waited 7 years and done all the doable.

Please relax, i know it is easier said than done but pls, pls and pls take a deep breath and relax, stop putting so much pressure on yourself and hubby, the psychological effect won't help which i think is what your DH is experiencing, pressure won't help anything my darling sis talking from experience. pls free your mind, BFP will definitely come but don't let your relationship and chemistry between your hubby get affected while waiting.

I would rather you change your focus from getting a bfp now and instead focus on spending good, quality, special and memorable time with hubby b4 he leaves which is very crucial and more important, remember without your DH u can't achieve bfp alone so you need him to be in right frame of mind without pressure and u also.

God will surprise you sooner than you expect

The most shocking one to me and why am afraid of surgery is that one of the doctors said if the cyst has affected the ovary badly, they may have to remove the cystic ovary. The last scan did not show my right ovary. The radiographer searched and searched for it. He said my bladder was not so full.
When i got to my doctor, he said the right ovary may not have been visible because the cystic left ovary may have pushed the right ovary to the back. I silently rebuked that. Oririsi person dey hear
Hello Sis don't be afraid of surgery, if the Dr advised surgery for the cyst better to have surgery and get rid of the cyst on time, except you are sure other treatment can get rid of it effectively or if you don't trust your Dr. get another opinion Leaving the cyst will make it continue to grow and still taking fertility medication will just make the cyst worse which can eventually affect the ovary just like the Dr said.

Removing the cyst does not mean removing the ovary completely, i had ovarian cystectomy + myomectomy and trust me the cyst was huge, the Dr was able to save the ovarian tissue to give the ovary a chance to work again but at least i am free from the cyst and i got to move on to other treatment. Just find a good Dr that knows his onions that will be concerned and empathic enough to give you the best treatment.

Good morning and happy New Month to you all.
My August Cappo, please what can I do to help me baby bilirubin level come down. His sample was taken on Sunday, it was 9.8

On Tuesday, it was 10.4

Still waiting for today's result.

Friday is the naming ceremony and am still at the hospital. Please help me o.

Any other mamas with experience should help me too
This high bilirubin/jaundice is so common these days, mums i follow on insta all had babies with Jaundice and they followed below which helped clear it within days, trust hospital is giving phototherapy well, just feed baby as often as possible so baby can poo frequently. The great physician Himself will lay hands on baby, weldone mama

Feeding often will make your baby pass more stool. The milk also gives your baby’s liver the energy it needs to process the bilirubin. Your baby’s stool should turn from dark green to yellow.

If you are having trouble breastfeeding, it is important to get help. It might be necessary to offer your baby supplementary feeds of formula to avoid dehydration and to keep the jaundice from getting worse
