Ovulation strip did nothing for me, its just a waste of money, for me oh, try TVS, that one is better. Also, no matter your cycle length, try bedding every other day till CD22, you might as well ovulate late. But above all, keep your focus on God, believe His word, and it will come to pass. Baby dust to us all

Hello fruitful mamas and papas.
Still on the matter
My cycle is 29 days and ovulation is supposed to be on CD 16. I sneaked out from work on CD 15 afternoon , travelled to bd. Bd on CD 15 and CD 16 morning. Sneaked back to work and thank God there was no major issue that exposed I wasn't around.

I used vit b complex, folic acid and pregnarecare all through the cycle. Did letrozole from CD 5- 9. Also did evening primerose from CD 3 to 14. I bought ovulation test kids too. I didn't see DT ovulation line on CD 16 and this worries me. Today is CD 17 and there is no line yet. I saw a small line on CD 15 and was hoping it will be more pronounced on CD 16 but no way.

Plz for ppl DT have used this ovululation strip, do u still get a positive or negative result on CD 17? Am sure I tested well this morning - CD 17 cos a friend told me I shld hold for 10 seconds its negative. I tot d test shld also be positive a day after ovulation.

It seems I stress myself too much on this preggie things. A more experienced friend told me I should just take folic acid and b complex for 3 months . that it will fall into place since there is no major thing wrong with my result.

There is a silent rave of discrimination against TTC couples. The society has made it a duty to monitor every newly wed and somewhat question why they are without a child after, lets say, 1 year after marriage. We too dey poke our noses everywhere.

The most attacked is the female gender, who is often at the receiving end of family, friends, colleagues and enemies. Must everyone plan to have children immediately after marriage A friend decided with his wife to stay off child bearing until after two years, for personal reasons.

We really need to mind our business in this country/continent, and if you really care and want to show concern/solidarity, there are ways to do it, without appearing like a wolf in sheep's clothing. In fact, personally, i prefer people not discussing the issue with me, except i invite you myself.

Shikena!

On a positive note...
We have been TTCing for about 16-17months now without result. Yesterday, we found out we are preggers, 5 weeks+. We couldn't go through the uncertainty of urine testing, so we went for blood straight; even that was done with so much anxiety/fear. Only those going through sub-fertility will understand the disappointment they go through every month, every freaking month!!!

May God answer our prayers. If you're TTCing without result, trust me, i understand perfectly what you are going through. God is the maker of babies, cos in this journey, i have realised, doctors have got no answer for infertility, they just guess/try, while draining their patients' pockets.

If you got pregnant with ease, you need to do serious thanksgiving, because you've got no idea what emotional, psychological stress you just avoided. And trust me, it has nothing to do with your virginity or how well you serve God, lets just say it's the favour of God.

We bless the Lord for a new dawn in my family.
Gbam!!! You totally took the words out of my mouth. People should learn to mind their business except when called upon. Shikena!!
A big congrats to you and DW. Easy peasy 9months is your portion IJN.
Am next in line for a miracle... AMEN

If its to monitor ovulation, then it's advisable you start tracking from day 10, buh if it's just for scanning purpose, then I think it can be done on any day of the cycle as except when u on your period.
I can vouch for funbell at dikkat in ring road, but I dunno what their prices are like presently.

6ps thanks.....


let me use this opportunity to share my observation about mama with leaking boobs and dry VVJ

I was battling leaking boobs for more than 3yrs and dry VVJ since 2009, i tried everything including herbs, parlodel, bromergon etc..
but i came across the cheapest and most available of all and i cant help but thank God everyday
these are the cheapest solution to it...

2 cups of warm water 1st thing in the morning
vitB6 50mg 2x a day from AF to O its 10 naira per tablet and available in pharmacy stores....100mg 3x a day from O to Af
Eviol VitE 100mg 2-3x per day its 850 per pack
folic acid 1 2x a day no need for expensive one...i usually buy mine for 150 by 100tabs
vit bco 1 3x a day its 250 by 100 tabs
ferrous 1tab per day its 1 naira per tab
multivite 1 tab per day i think its also 1 naira per tab
solotone 1 tab per day.

note all are to be taken 15min after meal for better absorption

just in 3 cycles i tried this i can now easily get aroused and wet like.....plus no leaking boobs again and no pain, no menstrual/ ovulation pain again.

I believe this will help a lot of mamas here.

Hello mama, greetings to u. I don't know if you experienced hurtness of the nipples when u used the drugs u prescribed. I started this four days ago but noticed that my both nipples hurt since two now although I saw my period on the 23rd of February . Thanks

Ist of all... Ovulation DOES NOT occur exactly on mid cycle day 4 all women. It varies in diff women, some earlier, some mid cycle & others latter( even some while menstruating). I haven't personally used an O kit b4 but what l read Abt it is that it measures d amt of LH hormone in d body. So d higher d hormone, d darker it's line. However, a high LH conc is not a sure pointer that one truly ovulated( tori of another day); that's why PG assay is a more sure marker.

Thehomemaker:
Hello beautiful mothers of Nations, so I have been a quite confused lately as Af is wacky right now. It was supposed to start Monday last week but i was only spotting till Wednesday then the bleeding came and i thought it was back. It stopped in the night and i spotted till Friday, started again and stopped Friday night. Spotting continued since then till yesterday afternoon when it started again wit some clots and till now although bleeding is light now. I don't even know how to make sense of it. I can't even calculate anything but I see ewcm during the spotting period, I don't know if that's a good sign.

I will see how it goes throughout today and tomorrow before I go to the hospital. I have just been cranky and angry with everyone and everything. Felt a bit better yesterday because I went for mid week service and the sermon was beautiful. I hope today is better.
Hmm... I know this feeling too well.& l think u should conduct a PT lst cos dats likely what u will be asked to do in d Hosp

Hubby's count is 14.8 million
Pls how do i go about this...plus the fact that I have endometrioma Cyst on my right ovary. The doctor said Laparoscopy is the option.
Prolactin is within its standard range but its above average/ slightly high. U need to manage this (ur Dr will explain better)
LH is within its standard range while FSH is above its range . Also d ratio of LH/ FSH is approx. 1:2
Estradiol & PG concentrations r within their ranges.
My conclusion : I think LH/FSH ratio was 1:2 for two reasons;
1. cos two different test kits were used ( their units are not d same) or 2. Cos their test was conducted on CD3. But my instinct says it's no 1.
Also ur Prolactin conc should be lower
Overall, l think it's a fair hormonal assay result.

DH standard ranges are also needed in order to give a better interpretation.
As 4 cysts; if dy r not harden; then dy can managed & eradicated( check older trends) but if it's d former; l believe laparoscopy might be d only option

A Dr/ lab tech will explain much better, l just have a faint idea-

A 4.1 ml vol of DH seminal fluid; has a ph of 7.7(neutral ph/ very slightly alkaline) & a sperm count vol of 27 x 10^6 or 27million.
These spermies have 5% normal morphology( physical characteristics) & 72% normal motility( run very well), out of which 68% are actively motile
Also DH DNA fragmentation test(this is a test that aids in checking 4 d integrity of a sperm in order to know if a pregnancy will be successful) result is fair to poor
DH antisperm antibodies test- was positive ( l really don't know how to explain this in simple terms)
My conclusion -DH sperm count is above d lower reference standard; which is good
68% actively motile; also good.
A Dr plus sabi persons in d house will explain d other parameters further cos am not too sure Abt them.

My dear relax yourself I beg you...or are you under any pressure. Oct is still about 7 months away and you still have time to get pregnant after the treatment. If there is anything TTC has taught me, it is patience. Follow your doctors treatment and you will be fine by God's special grace.
