TCF1980:Yea! These kits can't give 100% accuracy! There are bound to be flaws. But you try the ovulation cycle method. If her/your menstrual cycle is average of 28days, then within 11th to 17th from the start of menstruation is the likely fertile period. That can be further closed up to 12th to 15th. Meaning coitus must be intensified within this period. But if the menstrual cycle is 30days or below 28days, the ovulation would be 14days to the start of menstruation. Meaning 17th would be ovulation, while 13th to 19th would be the fertile period. This so far is the best method! |

Hello Doctor Marc9, Thank you so much for the Great work that you are doing here. Please I'v stopped takn fish for the past 15years ago, because I always Vomit anytime I take fish. I decided to take jst a small fish on Sunday due to my roommate pressure, I vomited throughout that day, I'm always ashamed to tell people about this, because they always think that I belong to artificial Beings by not eatn fish. Some said that If I dnt take fish, It will affect my Brain functioning, By God's Grace, I'm performing Great and excellently in my Academics, some said It will affect Physical developmnt, I'm owkay physically. My Problem now is that I dnt want to pass this stuff to my next Generations (children),I will stil marry a husband that cannt do without Fish. Please I wish and I want to start eatn Fish without vommiting and disorderliness in my body systems. Please How can you advice me on this, Please what Medical Prescription can you give me? Thank you in anticipation sir. |

STENON:Whatever nutrients are found in fish, are found in other source of protein. So whether you eat fish or not, as long as you eat other source of protein like beef, chicken, crayfish, plant protein, you'll be as healthy physically and mentally as any other person that delights in fish. Also, you shouldn't let pressure get to you. The thing about our kind of society is that no matter what you do, people would always find fault in it. If you don't eat fish, they'll call you 'eriel', and if you eat fish a lot, they'll call you 'poseidon'. So, the only person you need listen to, or you need impress is YOU! Again, your allergy to fish or fish smell is neurophysiological. It just happen that whenever you eat fish or perceive the smell, it incites a reaction that involves gastric reflux, nausea, and emesis(vomit). Allergies are not transmissible to the next generation. My mother hates meat, but loves fish. For me, I eat everything eatable! Suya o! Point and kill o! Crayfish o! Kpomo o! Tinko o! Just name it. So you see, it's not transmissible. There are some anti-allergic medications, but I'm not allowed to Rx P.O.M online, so you may need to see an MD in person for that. Please, like how old are you? |

STENON:Amen! And may God give you a turn around to your fish hypersensitivity reaction. Don't worry, as you grow older, some physiological changes would happen, you'll likely start taking fish without any reaction. |

Postinor 1 or 2 is one OHC pills classified as emergency pills. The fact that it's readily available as OTC doesn't mean ladies should be so nonchalant in taking first preventive measure which is to abstain from sex*ual intercourse within their fertile period. The use of postinor should come into play when ladies fail to resist sex*ual advancement, and give in to sex within their fertile period. But what saddens the most are cases of ladies who indulge in sex a day after menses and unwittingly take postinor unnecessarily. That to me is sheer ignorance. They barely understand the modality involve in conception. I also had a case in which a lady who didn't want to take chances, took postinor every month for two years like it was vitamin C. She was later diagnosed with endometriosis. Please ladies, it's very imperative you understand your menstruation, know your menstrual cycle, and insist on the use of barrier prophylaxis like condom if you know you're not ready to be called 'mama nkechi' !! 1 Like |

Alawokit:Genotypic compactibility is quite important in marital decision. Bt it deals with probability. For a lady who is 'AS', the probability of her having 'SS' children(sickled cells) with an 'AS' partner is 1/4(0.25 or 25%). This doesn't mean if they both get married, one of the kids will or must surely be 'SS', or 'AS' or 'AA', as against what most people misconstrue. It all deals with probability, chances! But because of the love we tend to have for our kids and how we want them to be healthy, and feel normal among their peers, we need mind how we risk bringing them to life. 'AS/AS' couple doesn't have 100% assurance of bearing healthy kids, they only have 75%, as against 'AS/AA' couple who has 100% assurance of bearing normal kids to life. 'AS/AS' couple has 25% risk, while 'AS/AA' couple has 0% risk of having sickle cell children. Love surpasses everything. The love 'AS' couple might have for each other could actually make them take the risk. But then, the first consideration should be the love for the children to come! In as much as we now have proper sickle cell management, it doesn't mean we should blindly or nonchalantly plunge into taking that risk. No matter how effective the management is, the kids might still be scarred psychologically. Concerning whatever arrangement there is at the hospitals, I don't know about that. But I'll advise you try to look for an 'AA' partner, so that you'll have a restful, enjoyable, no hassle, no rushing to the hospital, and no regret family life. Always ask the guys you seem to size up as potential partner their genotype. But do that discreetly. |

Dobisyno:Some factors could be responsible, ranging from psychological, physiological, to methodological. Psychological factor deals with your emotions, or state of mind during intercourse. Ladies who do not have feelings or strong feelings for the guys they have sex with, tend to experince 'xerocolposis(dry vag*na). But when strong feelings is involved, she feels relax, and experince vag*nal wetness while having sex. Physiological factor deals with body function and constituents. There are hormones responsible for vag*nal wetness. Ladies with the right balance of those hormones experince vag*nal wetness readily, as against ladies who likely have not so balanced secretions. Estrogenic with androgenic hormones is responsible for vag*nal wetness. If these hormones are not optimally secreted, vag*nal dryness might not be feasible Methodologically factor deals with sex*al knowledge and experince. The way it's done, or the method applied. There are some sex styles that aid vag*nal wetness and cumming. Other miscellaneous factors include the time at which the sex is done(likely during rush hours), and the place the sex is done. Of course you don't expect to get wet and maintain that wetness if you're having sex in an uncondusive settings like having sex in a car, or public restrooms, in cinemas and all! 1 Like |

Lordavmercy:Ma'am, hCG trigger injection won't aid conception. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is an hormone released by the placenta after a successful implantation. So I don't see how hCG trigger injection would stimulate Ovulation, fertilization, and successful implantation. But then, consult your Gynae, he knows what to do! |
Re: Health Advice: Doctors Online by Nobody: 2:04pm On Oct 12, 2014 |
evankelly123:. Now there's a twist to this. You never mentioned earlier you have/had an Hx of PID, or an active case of PID. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is the most common pathological cause of infertility in women. Your inability to conceive is likely due to the PID, and perhaps, if you're an active drinker, that could also add to it. The reason why your menses flowed ahead to schedule is because of the doxycycline(doxycap) you took. Hormonal pills and antibiotics affect the balance of hormone, and could either hasten menstruation, or delay it. Ma'am, don't worry about the PT strip. I'll advise you go for HSG to ascertain the state of your tubes. Also, PID treatment works effectively if combined regimens are used. You may need to remind you physician that there's one other antibiotic he needs to combine with the Doxycap, he'll remember. One more thing,,,,,,,,,, Please keep away from alcohol for now! |
Re: Health Advice: Doctors Online by Nobody: 3:25pm On Oct 14, 2014 |
tchiwinnie:Thanks! Well if what she meant by church arrangement was amniocentesis, then it's unlikely to happen. Amniocentesis would only be allowed in countries where medical/induced AB is legal. Let's assume amniocentesis was done, blood sample was obtained successfully and the genotype of the foetus ascertained as 'SS', the idea of such would be to terminate the foetus. But since 'AB' is illegal here in Nigeria, what's the point of amniocentesis?! |
Re: Health Advice: Doctors Online by Nobody: 3:46pm On Oct 14, 2014 |
tchiwinnie:Well, I guess it's misinformation. But then, AS/AS incompatibility stil buoys down to probability. I've seen couples risk it and got healthy kids. Though they took great risks on that. The point is, people shouldn't risk what they can't afford to lose. And shouldn't risk blindly. For couples who found out about their genotypic incompactibility at later stage, and wouldn't want to let go of each other, can agree to opt for 'AID'... Artificial Insemination Donors who are 'AA', in having healthy kids! Most times, family members like the brother or sister of the couples are recommended for such alternative! |

Redeemed:Ma'am, I'll need to know if you observe your menstruation regularly? Does it flow an average of three days? Have you ever been diagnosed with ovarian cyst or PCOS? |
Re: Health Advice: Doctors Online by sigeo: 6:46pm On Oct 14, 2014 |
Marc9, thank you for a job well done. Sometimes last week I observed that I became dizzy all of a sudden, I took some drugs and rest thereafter. However about 3days ago, I started having pains in my left hand though not too sharp. Could this be as a result of having shortage of blood in my system. Moreover, I'm a BP patient though I take my drugs regularly and rest often. Thank you sir |
Re: Health Advice: Doctors Online by Nobody: 7:15pm On Oct 14, 2014 |
sigeo:By BP(Blood Pressure), would you be referring to hypertension? Or hypotension? Well I'll assume you meant HBP. Well, the sudden dizziness you felt and the pain in your left hand might actually not be linked with anaemia. It could actually be due to arteriostenosis/arteriolostenosis(narrowing and occlusion of the arteries/ arterioles). So, I think it's HBP related, not anaemia! |
Re: Health Advice: Doctors Online by Nobody: 10:30pm On Oct 14, 2014 |
Redeemed:Ma'am, I'l also need to know how old you are. But from what you quoted, I believe the reason you hardly observed the ovulation discharge/mucus was because of the high prolactin level. Prolactin tend to inhibit the secretion of FSH/LH, estrogen, and as well as progesterone. And when you were placed on those drugs, your prolactin level bromocriptine, duphaston, and clomid, your prolactin level may have dropped below normal value, but these drugs tend to have adverse effects. At this point, I'l have to recommend hormonal profiling. That will give us an idea which of the hormone(s) is under or over-secreting. But then, if you menstruate regularly, then it's most likely you ovulate as well(despite the mid-cycle spot). The problem might just be unsuccessful implantation. |
Re: Health Advice: Doctors Online by Nobody: 10:54pm On Oct 14, 2014 |
joybik:Ma'am, 27 by 36mm means the leiomyoma is insignificantly large, and it's serosal or subserosal fibroid. It shouldn't hinder conception. About the anovulation, well, if you menstruate normally, then it means you ovulate as well. I can't put together how the scan diagnosed you with anovulation. Clomid on the other hand is used to induce ovulation, but that's for ladies who are anovulatory, such as menopausal ladies, or nursing mothers. It shouldn't be taken for long, as it could cause multiple ovulation About what you felt when you inserted your fingers, clearly that wasn't the fibroid. You can hardly reach the fibroid with your finger. What you felt was likely the groove around the cervix and deep end of the vag*na. When you rubbed it, the Pubococcygeal muscles contracted, giving it a hard texture. |
Re: Health Advice: Doctors Online by Nobody: 11:29pm On Oct 14, 2014 |
joybik:Now I get it. You have an active case of UTI, and you were or you are on antibiotics. Well, quite a lot of UTIs/STIs can hinder the chances of conception. The pathophysiology simply involves the infection disrupting normal balance of hormones, just the same way antibiotics disrupt hormonal balance. Ma'am, the fact you menstruate clearly indicates you ovulate as well. The infections(Staph and Candidiasis) are most likely responsible for your inconceivability. |

Marc9:Did u say breastfeed exclusively for 14months? No na, its EBF for 6months and then introduce feeds, while continuing breastfeeding for abt 2yrs. U cant tell a mother to gv breastmilk only for 14 whole months.No child ll survive on dat. |
Re: Health Advice: Doctors Online by tchiwinnie: 4:13am On Oct 15, 2014 |

tchiwinnie:Typographical. I meant 4months(not 14). |
Re: Health Advice: Doctors Online by Nobody: 5:29am On Oct 15, 2014 |
tchiwinnie:I never disputed. I only listed one exceptional case prominent with sexually active ladies who indulge(d) in the use of OHC. |

My bp reading this morning is 142/98 and I do take my drugs regularly. Thank you sir |
Re: Health Advice: Doctors Online by Nobody: 9:02am On Oct 15, 2014 |
marc9: siego:142/98 shows an increase in BP, as against the normal value of 120-130/80-90mmHg I'l advise you rest a lot. Don't stress yourself! Don't think too much! Keep away from alcohol! And you also run a cholesterol check. You'll be just fine. |
