@Kathyekiti
heavy periods? kind of. but it only last for 4 days.

doc kathyekiti thanks for your reply via mail and here

(My main advice would be the use of prenatal vitamins prior to conception.)

@goldenhand

There is the belief that if you have sex one the same day you ovulate, you will have a male child because the Y sperm swims faster because it is lighter. Good luck

@comoibo
The pill doesn't affect your future fertility

@uptowngirl
Don't squeeze your nipples. You are cured. However, if you start having menstrual irregularities. You need to see your gyn.

@ cadet
Your heavy periods can lead to iron deficiency anemia which would explain your fatigue. You need to see your gyn to check for fibroids.

@shalata

Folic acid is very important in the development of the nervous system. This development is undergoing before a woman realizes that she is pregnant so it is important to have folic acid supplementation as early as possible

Thanks doc:-)

@ cadet
Anytime.

hi Doc,

Thanks so much for the good job, you'll cont to grow in God's wisdom.

please i have a question, i'm three months preg and i have a wound on my leg which i've been treating and putting streptomycin until i read yesterday that it's not suppose to be used in pregnancy as it caused deafness in the child.

how true is this, and what can i use on my wound for quick healing?

thanks

@olababe
First take a deep breath, stop using the streptomycin, get to a doctor. The good news is that you were using topical streptomycin. Relax but go to the doctor to take a look at the wound. There are several antibiotics that are safe for use during pregnancy

thanks so much kathy for your quick response.

i indeed took a deep breath, thanks i was at the hospital this morning and the doctor said penicillin injection powder will be okay instead.

what do u think?

@olababe
Totally safe in pregnancy. Good luck

Thanks a lot Doc. Kathy, May God bless you

Hey doc,

Folic acid is very important in the development of the nervous system. This development is undergoing before a woman realizes that she is pregnant so it is important to have folic acid supplementation as early as possible

@kathy

before or after conception?

if its before, how many months before?

Either folic acid or multi-vitamins, is six months before conception ridiculous? Just to be on the safe side.

Hi Kathy,

I've been using folic acid prior to conception but i am wondering if i should change to one of the pre -natal vitamins? what do u reckon

Thanks

hi stillwater

@oladunni

before conception. folic acid is not stored so just start taking the vitamins once you decide to have a baby

@f4flakes

The "hottest" thing in vitamins right now is DHA or omega acids. We know that there are a lot of benfits to the developing child but also to the mother e.g. reduced risk of preterm labor and preeclampsia. If possible, I would suggest using not just folic acid but a DHA containing prenatal vitamin.

:p

Anybody know of a good hospital in Lagos. I mean one with good gynaecologist/OB ? Thanks

@deor03

Your wife, by the story you give about her periods, is likely anovulatory. This means that she doesn't produce and egg monthly. This is easily corrected depending on her age. However, even if this is corrected and you are not around, conception is impossible. I would advise you to prioritize. The yeast infection has no bearing on fertility. If this is the first time, she is one of billions of women. Good luck

@aladunni
what would u like to know?

@ kathy
