A new month start tomorrow and I wish you all a happy month filled with happiness, joy and pray it’ll be a turning point in our lives. (Amin)

TTC-1

CD- not sure what day it's now

DPO-10(not keeping tag of this

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TRYING- Nearly 5 years.

AGES -ME 29 DH 40

What HAVE YOU TRIED SO FAR? ICSI, LIT, Humira, Intralipids, Ivig, Prednisolone, Baby aspirin, Preeseed. I don’ t remember but if I do will keep you all updated. This week will be having LIT , I pray it helps my immune. Below is what LIT is all about, anything to help us get that BFP heh.

LIT is an injection of washed white cells which is normally placed just under the skin on the inner arm in a series of pinprick jabs. The white cells usually come from blood freshly donated by your husband. The aim of LIT is to stimulate your body to produce anti-paternal blocking antibodies (antibodies to cells from your husband) as measured on the LAD test (see above). Several studies found that women who had multiple miscarriages tended to have lower levels of anti-paternal blocking antibodies than women who had successfully carried a baby to term. This lead to the theory that antibodies to the father’s DNA were necessary to help the mother’s body recognise their embryo’s cells to give a protective response rather than an aggressive response.

@Beetle & Arlington,
Has your husbands, spermatozoa been tested and what were the results?

Some miscarriages occur because the embryo was never viable due to chromozonal abnormalities and there is usually nothing that could be done that could save the pregnancy. These types of miscarriage usually show up as "empty sac" miscarriages.

As we age the chances of viable embryos drops dramatically past the age 34, for women due to poor egg quality and also the male sperm quality decreases.

My own belief is that couples unnatural products we put into our bodies may decrease the quality of eggs and sperm we produce and hence decrease our chances of producing a viable embryo.

I think that trying to elimnate all chemicals from our system, by avoiding harmful chemicals which we may ingest, from chemicals like cigarettes, tooth paste, preservatives in processed foods, soft drinks, alcohol or which could be absorbed through the skin such as body / hand creams, hair relaxers, deodorants, traffic pollution and unnnecessary medication inc excess vitamins.

just my theory, it appeared to work for me when we started to try it

thanks beetle.my prayer for all of u is dat d new month shall bring good fortune.

@ Genbuhari, would you please provide some tips for natural healthy products that can replace the stuffs you spoke about

@MyPeace

Sorry have been MIA. I have used the preseed. I use it twice and had no reaction whatsoever.

Couldn't Post my update yesterday.

TTC-1

CD- 34

DPO-15

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TRYING- 2 and half years

AGES -ME 30 DH 34

What HAVE YOU TRIED SO FAR? Clomid (6th time this may and first time with Preseed)

Am afraid to test.

Please Send prayers my way.

@Sammiejo

I suggest that you check internet for natural products /alternatives.

If you smoke or drink alcohol you simply need to give up or start cutting down.

Instead of using tooth paste, use chewing stick.

Body and hand cream should be from as natural a product as possible some thing like coco butter may be better than other products. or perhaps if there is a native way of making such products in the village , look into that.

Try to avoid using detergents when water would do for washing spoons ,plates or even clothes etc , when you have to, use a natural detergent to as possible or use absolute minimal amounts.

Use natural bath soap, such as black soap.

You must try and ensure you eat plenty of fibre and drink lots of water as these remove toxins from your body. Ensure that you move your bowels at least once a day, if not increase you fibre intake.

Do not use relaxer - use a hot comb

Orange or lemon can be used as natural deodorants on the skin, put if you use perfume avoid spraying directly on the skin.

This is all I can think of at moment but I am sure that there is much more

Again over the wkend, after BD l started having sharp abdominal pain, that comes and go. Also l am having feeling of fullness, l have not been eating well too because of that. lol, two much complaint (lol)- even luvly and stages never complain like this

Thx for your contribution.  thats the essence of detox.  l use Gnld supplement called Betaguard for this (_{am not recommending pls})  lt is hard to completely avoid these toxins in the body.


@Ejadamen

Abeg ooo, why dont you know your CD and DPO,  how do you predict O?

You are very welcome  ladies

Another thing is to always try to avoid additives in processed foods, always try to cook food in their natural form.

It is important that you partner's also detox and become as healthy as possible. Especially as past age 35 , there is marked increase of abnormal spermatozoa that is being produced.

Essentially for males they have to work on themselves as much as you ladies because it takes two people to concieve a baby.

As I mentioned before, you should get your partner's spermatozoa counted and fully analysed.

Most men as we age start getting a pot-belly, this is not to be encouraged especially if ttc, fat in the belly contains enzymes that apparently breakdown testosterone, and testosterone is necessary for spermatozoa production. In fact both partners need to be fighting fit and start aiming to get to a normal healthy weight, especally as they get older.

Additional your male partner most ensure that they keep their testicles as cool as possible at all times, get plenty sleep and ensure they not defficient in zinc.

another BFP in the corner. l cant wait for the good news!

@ my peace I don't know it o! never bothered cos the period is so irregular and I just do not understand the calculation. Meaning I actually do not know when I ovulate

Now I am confused,thot my period came but only saw drops for like 4 days,was that a period

Has it always been like that, or after your miscarriage?

However, take the 4days drops as your period and start counting from there. normally period comes 10-16 days after ovulation.  so whenever u see your period count back 'say 14 days' to give you an idea of the window periods you ovulated.  From that you have in mind the CD you usually ovulate.  e.g (myself)  l have 37day cycle, and l see my period 16 after O, meaning l O on day 21.  sometimes the folicle  stages changes, but it gives me idea of the likely days l shouldnt miss to Baby dance. 

l advice that you do a HVS test to rule out infection.

Note: follicular Stage can be longer than usual but Luteal phase remains same, except with pregancy.

Hmm nice info. Thanks. What is HVS?

hvs- High vaginal swab, this checks for ureaplasma, mycoplasma as this infection affects infertility.

TTC-1

my update


CD 23
DPO (supposed to O on CD 21 but didnt, and there is no sign of it for now)

l have been very bloated. This cycle is very unusual. Dont really know what is going on. However, time shall tell.

My update.

I did a blood test on last friday and to God be the glory it was positive. That is the first time in my whole life I will ever test positive

unfortunately I started spotting on sun and yesterday it has gone to bleeding. I had to be taken to the hospital. Did the test again and it was negative.

Am torn between happiness & gratitude on the realization that I can conceive and sadness, anger and frustration for losing the pregnancy after waiting so long.

@ AratOluda

l feel your pains!

Take heart, thats exactly what happened to me February this year, got a positive today and next day bleeding and l lost the baby.

l have heard that some pple are very delicate, that if they conceive and still baby dance, it affects the preg and causes miscarriage. since l found out that i might be in that group, after 2 -3 days of ovulation, l stay away from Sex, giving it time to settle incase l may have conceived.

However, console yourself with the fact that you are Fruitful and not Barren! lt will happen again!

My peace u said it all
Aratoluda take it easy on urself and think positive
just know dat this the begining of positive preg tests to come
the year is your year in JESUS name

@aratoluda,it is well.thank God you can conceive.Please take heart.

My people I have been away,well I'm still away but when I get back I'll update.

@ AratOluda

how are you doing? Hope the pains from the blighted ovum is no much? Mine was terrible because l was almost 8weeks before l found out l was even pregnant. They suggested D&C, but thank God l refused and had a natural miscarriage. Thank God yours didnt get to that stage. Hope you are ok now shaa, IT IS WELL!

@AratOluda

It is well. The God you serve will grant you your heart's desires.
