Dear if you have high prolactin then consider Parlodel, it works better than the one you have.
But then, which doctor are u using? He is supposed to scan you on CD3 before starting u on any medication for follicle growth. I suspect that the cysts on ur ovaries are leftover from your last period (u said u didn't ovulate last cycle so obviously it left cysts!)
Your doctor is supposed to place u on Provera or let you wait out a cycle so the cysts can go and a well let your ovaries rest. But whatever the case, DO NOT let your doctor start you on injectables without a scan to confirm that the cysts are gone! That would be disaster.
Will pray for you. All will be well.


Don't understand, you mean parlodel works better than dostinex aka cabergoline? there were no cysts from my last cycle cos I had a tvs done on CD 13. I thought provera is for irregular menses,abnormal menses or lack of menses. Well my dr didn't raise any issues with d cysts I guess cos of d size and number.

thanks ma, any drugs to take in order to treat it? tho am currently taking lots and lots of water
I know cranberry juice helps alot but ur urine should be collected and cultured, antibiotics that's the most sensitive should be administered. First get a test done.

You should go run a test. Frequent urination most times can be linked to urinary tract infection (UTI).

I also hope you are not overdosing with the garlic insertion. Garlic act like antibiotic and sometimes antibiotics kill the gold bacteria in us. Killing good bacteria will now leave one open

Run a test all the same
thanks ma, as for the garlic insertion I duno if I am overdosing cos I only do at atimes during d day, cos at night u go just feel sometin inside ur nyash, wake up na hubby, so I don't wana risk d garlic swimming inside my uterus(hehehe).

my cycle isn't regular as it keeps fluctuating btwn 27-31days any month it likes but isn't cd8/9 too early for ovulation?

Unsweetened cranberry juice works, u just drink it regularly. When I newly got married I had recurring UTI, I drank cranberry juice alot, together with the antibiotics recommended .

Wow my cycle is the same! But I usually o on cd15 or 16. Have you been diagnosed? I was diagnosed with mild pcos even before I get married. Cd8 is early for ovulation but I normally start noticing ovulation symptoms from cd8. Do you use ovulation tests? I use clearblue digital and from cd8, I get a flashing smiley face which means ovulation is close, then on cd14 I get the steady smiley face which means ovulation should occur within 24hrs. Is this a medicated cycle for u? Any fertility drugs?

Yes hun, parlodel works better in my own opinion. But that's a decision between u and ur OB/GYN.

Ttc for baby number 2 for 6months now. Waiting for my period to start next week Monday so I start clomid (on cd2) then hsg on cd9 and trigger shot on cd12. That's the protocol I used for my last pregnancy and it worked like a charm (b/g twin delivered at 35weeks b lost the baby boy).
I pray u get ur bfp and will only need an ob for antenatal not diagnosis.

Kikiki DHs are like dat.

You can insert garlic like dat: minmum
You can make small small incisions: medium
You can also cut in two halves: maximum
Depends on the extent of the infection.

RipVanWink:


Sorry about that, lets take it step by step.

1. what drug did you use to induce ovulation?..clomid?, wch cd days did u take it
2. i assume you did tvs, what was the follicle sizes
3. when was the trigger shot given?. how big were the follicles then?.. how many IU of the trigger hot/hcg was administered.

you could try the bitterleaf therapy, it has helped some women to voulate n produce good eggs, thus achieving pregnancy


I was giving ovumin 100gm from cd2-6 follicles was 22 and 19 mm some how. 500 iu of trigger shot was given on CD 13. thanks for your contributions.
Re: Trying To Conceive A Child? TTC by Nobody: 7:04pm On Nov 15, 2016
Sorry I didn't r ur reply well. I took vitex to regulate my period (it use to come as it likes...lol. Sometimes once in 3months) but vitex regulated it somehow (at least it doesn't go more than 31days now).
My meds this month would be clomid 100mg cd2-6, then hcg trigger shot on cd12 then start progesterone on at 3dpo (3days post ovulation). I would be using the progesterone just as a precautionary measure since clomid thins the uterine linning and with pcos...my body does not produce enough progesterone on its own!!!

Yes I took th one in that tetrapack but be sure to look out for the unsweetened one. The fruit should be at shoprite but maybe more expensive and time consuming (when I bought the fruit I blended it and drank raw).

Sorry to bump in, I think u were mean to write 5000iu of trigger? If yes then suggest 10,000iu to ur doctor. And do u kno the brand he uses? Pregnyl or...can remember the name but it's in yellow pack and produced by one German company. Pregnyl didn't make me ovulate.

U can read from the beginning of this thread, am sure you will find older monikers with similar issues undecided, that's what I do when am looking for answers. Lifestyle change is key. Don't know ur age,that could be a factor. I can't remember d moniker diagnosed with ovarian failure but I know she is a mother now, she changed her diet and lifestyle, she was constantly on vegetables,fruits, protein, fish and low carb diet with supplements to improve ovarian reserve and she conceived naturally after failed ivf . I don't know the supplements she took but u can do extensive research as well and also let ur dr guide you.

thank you ma , I am just 24+ ,I would have been married by now ,if I have learn to keep my secrets to myself , but God knows best , too many suitor's at the door right now, but want to be well , don't want any man use me do asko

@curvilicious the 2x i have done was the amount i paid respectively.Ubth gives stress and delay,i pray the only business i will have with them soon is ante-natal and delivery...their own too much before u know resident doctors go strike and one wud be left hanging..Raytouch is also a nice place,it escaped me,nyc and friendly technicians went there with a friend once.
@stephaniecoa i am not currently on vitex it's @MineMk that made an enquiry...

Kikikiikiki. funny woman. Amin o.

@Fruitfulvine83 , #birthday mates #June babies. Take care dearie.

mummykyrti , if I were in ur shoes and I can't go for an infection test, I would do a pregnancy test and if that is ruled out, I would use natural methods to flush out the infection. Probably bitter leaf juice. (I am still yet to try this wonderful bitter leaf therapy).

But since na ovulation time u dey so, u fit add kpekus incase. But try to treat whatever is making u urinate every 5 mins pls. All these little little things matter in TTC. I am talking from my small experience

everything appears ok, i wonder how u concluded you didnt ovulate?
was a tvs done 2 to 3 days after the trigger shot?. 22m n 19mm are pretty good mature follicles. curious to know how you concluded you didnt ovulate. secondly consider suggesting to the doc to use 10,000IU trigger shot, which is the full dose, 5,000 iu is used in cases where ohss is suspected. also buy the trigger shot in a good pharmacist that hv fridge, as its recommended to keep it at below 20 degC at all times

thanks ma, yeah am newly married so myb that's why, pls what kind of antibiotics did u take?
I can't remember the exact antibiotics that eventually worked cos it kept reoccurring , i remember the dr just telling me I have UTI , I didn't see the result , she gave me nitrofurantoin but it didn't stop so I self medicated with what a pharmacist recommended but it didn't stop. I know i also tried ciprofloxacin as well.
First get the test done, so the exact bacteria is ascertained, not all antibiotics work, the antibiotics that is the most sensitive will be recommended in the test result. Cos if u don't treat with the right antibiotics and complete the dosage it will keep recurring.
I forgot to add that another reason for reoccurrence is not abstaining, u and dh should both be on the antibiotics and abstain from kpekus.

U r still young Na.. don't get urself worked up, u will get married and conceive immediately. The levels u ve don't match ur age sha; Ur levels may not be fantastic now but with diet, lifestyle change and supplements am sure u will conceive sharply.

Good morning awesome mums,went to see a gyno yesterday and after series of questions he pressed my breast and inserted his finger in my v. He did Pt and it was negative.He said i will go for hormonal assay and i will be given drugs to trigger my af after which he will fix a date for a laprascopy to be done. Pls fvine and other sabi mamas make una put mouth for my case.Am a bit scared especially concerning that laprascopy.They said total of 12tests will be carried out at d rate of 22650.(hormonal assay,including other basic test )Pls make una help me .is all this necessary for my case (am hving serious irregular cycles,hv taken evergreen formula and it normalized only to start again.i didnt menstruate in September,it came oct 1st and up till now;am yet to see Af)And who hv done laproscopy before,and what's d price for it
Re: Trying To Conceive A Child? TTC by pweetymii: 6:24am On Nov 16, 2016
@BELLOQ,sabi maamas will answer you wen they come online.I am interested in the part of the doctor inserting a finger in your v.jay.First of all,what did he/she say he was looking for(in pregnant women they do membrane sweep or check for dilation length)?is the doctor a male or female?were there other health practitioners in the room with the two of u?
Pls,don't be offended about my questions.I have visited hospitals during the course of ttc but no doctor has ever asked me to take of my clothes and then insert finger in my v.jay...for kwat na?abeg,let's ask questions even though we are ttcing,we are not at the mercy of doctors oh cos some of them tend to go overboard.
