Hi, Dr
Am still on this fibroid issue and my inability to conceive yet. I was refered to another gynae for a second opinion on the fibroid. I showed him the result of the last scan and he also examined me. Thereafter he said the fibroids are big and he would advise me to remove it. He said since i have done hsg and the tubes are okay, I would stand a higher chance of conceiving if i remove it and quickly. Am in Lagos, Nigeria. I was just wondering if you know any other procedure that can be done to remove it and I wouldnt have to wait that long before trying to conceive again. I read something on the net about laser method (cant remember the full name) but I doubt if such technology is in Nigeria. Besides the cost of the surgery is rather expensive from what the doctor told me (he said betwen N200,00 - N250,000). Thanks

Ladybells, thank you for your response. But I understand Clomid is not good for someone with fibroid, cause it makes the fibroid grow faster and bigger. My doctor mentioned it too, but he said becasue of the fibriod he would not advise me to take it.

Fibroids do not prevent pregnancy. Lots of women with fibroid have chidlren. Since your doctor says its not bad, means you can still get pregnant and have children with it. Find a good doctor who can monitor the fibroid when you are pregnant. Normally its when its very big and in a bad location that doctors recommend surgery. Pray also, there is nothing God can not do. Dont pay attention to those advertising their pastors like products, it is God that heals.

Hi, try FibroidClear, it works. I came accross the product on the internet while searching for alternative to surgery for fibroid. I have fibroid and am using it presently, its working. Its made from natural plants and its in small capsules. Its a foreign drug but they have a distributor in Nigera. its a bit expensive though and I understand you have to use 4-6 bottles to eliminate the fibroid totall depending on the size. Also it also improves fertility unlike other fibroid herbal treatments that might stall conception for some time. If you are interested I could give you the phone number of their distributor in Nigeria. You could use the name (FibroidClear) to google if you want to know more about the drug. God bless

Hi all, have been reading this thread for sometime now. Decided to join, since am also trying to conceive. My Peace, are you the same as the one on Professional Secretaries thread?

Now our marriage will be 2 this year. Am begining to get scared, I felt like dying when I saw my period 3 days ago. We've done some tests though. My husband had low sperm count, but now there is improvement since he started taking some drugs. For me its fibroid, but according to the doctors who checked the result of the scan, the position should not prevent pregancy. I have also done hsg and it showed that the tubes are okay. So I wonder what the problem could be wrong, cause I have never missed my period for 1 day Do you ladies know of any other tests to check cause of infertility. God Bless

Dear Doc Kathy, Happy New Year

Sometime last year I wrote to say I have fibroid, was pregnant and still seeing menses.  Well when it continued I when for proper medical examination somewherelse.  The result showed that I was not pregnant, rather it was the fibroid that was making have the symptoms of pregnancy.

I have since been seeing a good gyn.  He asked my husband to do some test and I to do another scan and then HSG.  My husband's result showed low sperm count of about 24% so he placed him on some drugs.  Then for me he said the location and the size of the fibroid shouldnt prevent me from conceiving,  the HSG result was okay, showed that there was no blockage and the fibroid is not located to close to the fallopian tubes.  

Presently am on my period, he wanted to give me Clomid to enhance my ovulation, but I reminded him that I had fibroid and Clomid makes fibroid grow faster (got that info from medical websites) he agreed. There is a fertility drug am taking which I think is good (Fertility Blend) cos I have noticed increased mucos during my ovulation.  I also bought ovulation kit (the doc explained how and when to use it), am on Prenatal vitamins (Pregnacare).  My husband's recent test also show improvement of 54%. With all these am still not pregnant.

My question is, is there any other test you can suggest, so that we'll know why I cant still conceive.  Thank you.

Am October 18. Had my wedding October 18 too!

Thanks. I dont know the name of the herbs. They were given to me by natural health specialist. The fibroid is intramural and is partly covering the foetus from the scan result. Thanks

Hi Doc, didn't know that fine officer was related to you, what a small world. Heard he died saving other officers, giving selfless services must be a quality that runs in your family. My most sincere condolence to you and his family, God will strenthen you all.

Please doctor, am almost 5 months gone in my pregnancy now. My problem is that am still mentruasting normally, only that it runs for like 3 days and very light instead of the normal 5 days. The doctor said it would stop. I dont know if its the herbal medicine I took that caused this. I was taking herbs to reduce the fibroid in order for me to conceive, which I eventually did. The fibroid has reduced in size, but its this menstruating thats the problem. Also for the past 3 days I have been having painful cramps around the navel area of my tummy. Please what can I do.

Thanks and welcome back.

Hi all, okay I have decided to stay on the job for now. But I need some advise. Is there any programme I can attend to boost my career? I am yet to collect my degree result and the way things are going it might not be ready soon. So am looking for any programme I can enrol in which will also advance my job prospects.

I wrote the first stage of the insurance professional exam, I did it not because I was really keen on it, but just sometthing to do (besides, the company refunds the cost incurred for the exam). And now I dont feel like continuing, I feel like doing something else. Cos sometimes I sit idle in the office (like now), when my boss goes off on Board meetings., I feel I should make use of the time, doing a programme instead of idling away. I hope to start scouting for another job by early next year, by which time I would have resumed from maternity leave (cos am pregnant now)

So I will appreciate advice on a good progamme to enrol for.

Thanks all.

Hi all, i stumbled on this area of Nairaland while browsing.  I am also a Secretary in an insurance company.  The way some of you talk about your jobs, its making me rethink on my plan to to make a career change.

I have been in this company for the past 8 years and the job is honestly not interesting.  Although I have always been a secretary to one management staff or the other, presently am the PA to a Director.  Other than running errands, replying correspondences once in a while, I dont do any other thing.  This is the same for every other management secretaries here.  I find it quite unchallenging and it makes the job boring, although the salary is not bad.

I have a professional certfificate from CIA and also Bsc in Business Admin, although I have not collected my result yet.  I was thinking of looking for a more challenging job i.e moving away from the secretarial profession totally.  What do you guys think.  MyPeace thanks for starting up this thread, its very educative.

Hi doctor,

Please I have a problem that is a bit confusing. I went for scan to check the fibroid I have and it was discovered that along with the fibroid, there is also a foetus i.e am pregnant - about 2 months. The problem is, am still menstruating, normal five days and I have also ovulated for this month. My last menses was on the 31st of March it ended on 4th of April and I saw the ovulation signs from 10 - 13th.

Please doctor I want to know, can one be pregnant and still be menstruating. Thank you

Does anyone know where I can get a fertility drug, Fertility Blend here in Lagos. I have read and heard so much about the drug. I heard its boost male and female fertility.

Thanks

Please can you share your experience,also you appear to have a very confident doctor, can you tell me the name of the hospital. I am in Lagos, thanks.

Hi, is anybody into real estate who can give some tips. I want to go into it jointly with some friends. We will jointly contribute money and buy plots of land. We then resell when the prices go up and split the interest on top according to each person's contribution. But we are at loss on how to go about buying genuine lands, without having problems with omoniles. Advices and counsels will be welcomed. Thanks

Thanks, what about real estate. A couple of friends and I want to jointly buy plots of land and then resell when the prices go up, then we split the profit on top according to each persons's contribution. Heard the business is lucrative. The problem is getting genuine lands for purchase from the real owners and not the so called omoniles

hi titilaelae

I have been following your posts and replies concerning fibroid. I also understand you are pregnant, how are you coping. You said yoy didnt have the fibroid operation again.

Hi doc, I've been reading your responses where you said ovulation occurs 14 days after the onset of the period.  Well,I've been trying to calculate mine and it does not fall on 14 days.  For instance my last menses was on the 20th of December and by 27th I started notices the thick discharges and then on the 29th the egg white looking dishcarge came out, which I believe is the sign of ovulation.  Mine is always like this every month i.e it does not get to 14 days before I see the egg white looking discharge.  

My question is it right to say ovulation can occur earlier than the 14 days?  Also the discharge is not always much and it sometimes last only a day or a day and half before I become dry.  I was thinking of taking ovulation boosting drugs, but I heard they cause miscarriage.  In case you might want to help me calculate the ovulation period properly, here is my menstrual period dates for the past 6 months:
June    -         21
July     -         16
August -       10
September - 5
October -     1  
October -     28
November - 23
December - 20

I really want to get pregnant fast and I need to know if am calcuating it well.  Thanks so much

I have a very very strong feeling that cre8tivity is either the wife, girlfriend or relative of one of these bastard corrupt nigerians that Ribadu brought to book (that is if she's truly female o) and if male, then he must be a 419 guy or yahooyahoo guy just like chidichris dayokanu, Therma.

Its obvious that cre8tivity's passionate hatred for Ribadu goes beyond the ordinary.  Nigeria  will never progress with people with such vindictiveness in them.

I feel so sorry for Akunyili.  She has not learnt from what has happened to Ribadu, El-Rufai and Fani Kayode.  The good name she has garnered will be rubbished by the end of Yaradua's administration finish using her to do their dirty job.  GOD SAVE NIGERIA

Also no offering is taken at The Experience.  The expenses is borne by donations and contributions from mostly christians who believe in the Vision of Pastor Adefarasin.

This is the problem with we the so called christians. We are busy critising and condemning one another while the devil has fully taken charge. The Experience is a christian musical concert organised by House on the Rock. They invite foreign chrisitan artistes to minister to people. It is a means of willing souls to Christ. I was at the 2007 Experience. When the alter call was made you need to see hands that were raised and the number of people that responded to the call, imagine how the angels would have rejoiced that night.

Soul winning is the heart beat of God. If only christianity can go back to the days of the apostles in the book of Acts. Instead we have left the great commission to pursue after material things, none of which we will take to the other side when we die. Yet it is not the material things we gain that matters to God, but the life we lived and the impact we made on humanity.

Please lets start praying for unity in the body of Christ. The devil is capitalising on this disunity to distract us from serving God and doing his will. Lets us stop serving a 'bless me God' and serve God for who He is.

Hi, please i have been searching for drugs that can shrink fibroid. On the net, there two drugs that are always advertised: Neprinol and Vitalzym. I tried buying the Neprinol online but the shipment never arrived in Lagos till date. Please do you know where I can get either of them in Nigeria or do you know any other drug that works. And also is it advisable to be taken things to shrink fibroid when one is expecting to be pregnant. Are there drugs that one can take that will shrink fibroid while at the same time wont affect the foetus in case one is pregnant. Thanks
