Hello sabi mamas, I saw my last period on 8 the of October, then my doctor put me on letrozole 2.5. On the 13th day of my cycle I went for tracking which it was discovered I had a matured follicle on my right ovary. After dat I did not see my period though my cycle is unpredictable. Until last week Thursday I started seeing a brown discharge when I wiped till now, though I took progesterone tablet after I thought I might have ovulated . I hv done pregnancy test and it came out negative. I am 40. Should I induce the period or wait? I'm afraid may be I am going to perimenopause. Pls help or contact person or person who knows somebody that will help. Married in May 2019, got pregnant in November, miscarried January last year, then since then nothing has happened.

Don't induce yet and don't stop the progesterone until you have done beta hcg, I will say give it another 2weeks and definitely see your Dr

And I don't think you are going into perimenopause, may just be your system reacting to the hormones/medication. Do you have PCOS or hormonal imbalance?

Team March o
Anyone in 22 weeks too
is your bump visible already, so we had a parry today from my husband side and I was wondering why everyone knew immediately they saw me, well, it's good cause before I carry this they will ask me to leave it......In my mind is it not too early, who follow me Waka like this

Diary of a FTM

It is not to early Kankan, that’s 5.5 months fa! Trust me your body has obviously changed even if you feel you look the same, I was deceiving myself that I obviously don’t look preggy, but your skin, boo.bs and looks in general usually blows a preggy’s cover.

Some acquaintances burst my bubble during the week, I haven’t seen them in like 4-5months when they saw me, they were just exclaiming that what happened to me, I look big and almost unrecognizable, one of them just said “ your husband is doing well” at that point I just gave up on trying to hide anything or deceiving myself that it isn’t obvious I am preggy

swtbiddy:
Thank you ma for the response. I would like to know why you didn't use it. Did you massage with castor oil?

No reason in particular, I was just tired of taking too many drugs and by the time I was ready mentally it was too close to when I started prepping for my ivf cycle plus my Dr did sonohystergram and everything looked good so I was cautious not to do anything to jeopardise the ivf procedure

I didn't use castor oil and for the life of me I can't really remember what I used, I think it was coconut oil cos it was not an intense massage, I was just very gentle on my body all through most importantly I prayyyeeeedddd and made confessions over my body, every drug and every thing else I did

swtbiddy:
Good evening everyone. I had a repeat myomectomy last Tuesday in preparation for ivf please when can I start taking serrapeptase to prevent formation of adhesions.

I think anytime between 4weeks - 6weeks after surgery to let your site heal first before it is administered so it doesn’t interfere with the healing process, you can also include gentle massage Of surgery site after 6weeks nothing too intense ooo pls

I had myomectomy too 6 months before my Ivf cycle, I was considering taking serrapeptase too but ended not taking it and only did gentle self massages occasionally like 1-2months before my ivf cycle.

I wish you all the best sis

Hello mamas,
Egg retrieval done, 12 fertilised. I am supposed to do embryo transfer tomorrow but i have mild OHSS, doctor said we might move the transfer forward if it progresses.

Pls who has had this experience ? How did you handle it? Did you go on to have a successful cycle?

Pls your response will be highly appreciated. Thank yiu

I had ohss but mine started after transfer I.e late ohss, even though I had a successful cycle it was an unpleasant experience I don’t wish on anyone.

I like that you Dr is considering moving the transfer forward, that will give your body enough time to heal and rest. Ohss is usually aggravated with hcg so chances are that it will get worse if you decide to go ahead with transfer and then get a bfp.

Are your embryos day5 blastocysts?
Though a frozen egg transfer cycle involves additional cost but it is advisable cos even with ohss you will still spend to treat it if you decide to go ahead with ET and the stress on you body and health is not worth it

All the best sis

Expectantmom:

It will get better mama. I don't think anyone experienced or is experiencing like I did. There was nothing that didn't happen to me but trust me, it will get better. Happy and smooth waddling.

Hello Mama, how are you doing?

MummyNeto:
Thank you so much, they are always asking me if I have started feeling kicks but I didn't know why,the placenta is even posterior, I'm just coming back from scan to confirm if everything is fine cos I haven't started feeling their kicks. Thank you for your explanations, I really appreciate it.

You are welcome sis, our very own iya ibeji, i tap into this anointing on my next mission ooo, let me just close shop afterwards, glad everything is fine with the twins. When do you intend to start shopping cos i don't even know where to start, plus this end of the year price hike is making me think i should wait till Jan which will be 3rd tri already, i am just confused ojare

Funny enough alot of mama's feel kicks/quickening and don't realize it, mine started like vibration/twitching sometimes or like gas/fart around my navel, don't worry you will feel them soon and the boxing competition ehn

Mamajolly:
Thank you so much for this explanation,
i was the one that asked my doc if i can go for it after the insemination, he said if i can afford it i can, i started using it, had used for for some days but something happened When j used it yesterday, after like few minutes,
I felt a wumbiling noise and force movement like kpum in my lower part of my stomach, infact the thought of it disturbed my sleep last, I think I will stop on it for now, was just using it as precaution of Pcos cos it has been years back i had low progesterone but it built back and I had conceived naturally but lost it at 3 month, I think I will stop the cyclogest for now cos I am scared of using it since that incidence last nyt.

Don't worry i don't think it is something you should worry about it, i would say don't stop it unless you check your p4 level 1st but also it good to trust you instincts.

All the best sis, i wish you bfp, trailer load of baby anointing on you.

Mamajolly:
Mamas in the house. Please is cyclogest used within the two weeks wait or after pregnancy is confirmed in iui,tanx

It depends on your P4 level if it is low, some Dr will ask you to commence immediately after insemination, if p4 level is okay you may not be asked to use it except you start spotting or there is a need for it

My 1st iui bfp cycle i was not placed on it, 2nd cycle i was placed on 200mg cyclogest daily just as a precaution but it ended in bfn. The explanation is that for iui since it is very similar to a natural cycle and there is no retrieval of follicles from the ovaries, the ovaries still retain parts that will produce p4 naturally to support pregnancy except in cases where one have low level of p4 naturally.

MummyNeto:
Good evening mamas
I'm in my 2nd trimester but have not taken any anti malaria drug, someone told me it's risky that I should get swidar, but I'm not having any symptoms. Please is it advisable to use the swidar?

Hello Mama, anti malaria drugs are not just given or taken anyhow during pregnancy as some can pose great risk to your baby.

I had concerns about it and asked my Dr seriously before i was convinced about taking it. My Dr's explanation is that anti malaria drugs is different from malaria preventive drugs which is the routine one given in pregnancy not the regular malaria drugs used for treatment of malaria when you already have it.

The Malaria preventive drug is given anytime from 16weeks upwards not before to ensure you are in 2nd tri and after you must have started feeling your baby i.e quickening, so pls discuss with your Dr. If you have started ANC your Dr will keep asking if you have started feeling your baby move it is because they want to know best time to give you malaria prophylaxis medication, at least this was what happened in my case, if by 20weeks you still don't feel your baby maybe due to anterior placenta, they will definitely give you the malaria prophylaxis then.

Whatever you do, don't self medicate pls.

Expectantmom:

Uririandme:




Thanks so much sis. I'll register soon. I've bn to the hospital twice though, but didn't register officially for ANC.

I'm not taking duphaston but the cyclogest is supplemented with twice weekly progesterone injection.
Thanks once again for your input.

oh Okay, you are well covered, all the best happy and healthy bumping to you.

miracletoday:


So I m not alone?series of them, good,meaningless,scary ones. I had one where I was expecting 2 babies. On delivery day, d babies turned 3. My husband was now asking who owned d extra new baby. I just replied casually, na we own am,the hospital is doing promo, so they gave us one extra .When I woke up to tell my husband, he was just laughing saying born 2, get 1 free

rotfl, no be only promo, i beg i no fit laugh kai pregnancy is wonderful i tell you.

AnikeTTC:


My location is Lagos.

Hello Sis, pls send me an email, i will send you the Dr's i have used. I don't want to get banned

Omojudy:

You dey vex oh

Don't mind all these people that have a not walk a mile in one's shoes and feel they have the answers

Uririandme:



Thanks sis. I'm definitely working with my doc. Was given 11 weeks. I'm somewhat scared of that time frame, that's why I'm asking questions for my peace of mind.

Don't be scared sis, P4 is usually administered until the placenta forms and has taken over production of P4 which is usually from 9weeks/10weeks, but for your own rest of mind you can continue it until 12weeks - 14weeks, i am sure your Dr won't be bothered if you decide to continue, just discuss with him/her. Are you taking Duphaston also?

Hope you have registered for ANC

Mamaejimaato:
Good day mommas, please any whatsapp group for those going for ivf so we can share ideas? Please I would also like to know if any on you did mock transfer as part of the testing before proceeding with the main transfer?

don't know about whatsapp group, i think one exists.

I didn't have a mock transfer, infact i did a fresh transfer, but heard mock is good if you can afford it, helps to know how you'd react and serves as a guide for main transfer.

AnikeTTC:


Please can you assist with a Doctor who can help administer the right drugs for me, I have experienced all manner of gynecologist on this my TTC journey.
From very impatient ones, one that kept injecting me with antibiotics without carrying out a test, one that placed me on Chlomid for 5 cycles and was ready to continue, to one that believed my tubes are blocked without even seeing a HSG result.

Please Mama, I just sent you a PM

hello Sis,

I didn't get your PM, but where is your location that will help with Dr referral.

Nyxx123:


Nawa o, mine isn't frequent but the few times I had it, one of them I woke up with migraine , I couldn't move kept shouting Jesus. I can't remember details of the dream, cos I have cast and bind besides old things have past away biko

Old things have passed away, pele about the migraine, pregnancy and it's plenty orisirisi, i just thank God for the joy, it's such a blessing to finally experience things associated with being preggos

Expectantmom:

Big sis, I was almost replying her when I saw your comment. My own are real nightmares that I'd have to wake and pray against them. Wetin I no experience for this my precious journey? Nothing! But we thank God for His mercy and strength. We shall all carry to terms in Jesus name.

How are you doing sis?

I am doing well oo, trust you are too

God will kuku see us through it all and we'll come out victorious

kokaiye:
Pregnancy nightmares are real ... I keep having dem everynight since i got pregnant.... N they are so scary ha ... Thou, i had dem wit my first pregnancy but not as much as dis one... Dis one is like it is waitin 4 me to close my eyes... Pls tell me i aint d only one experiencing this

Singing in Micheal Jackson's voice
You are not alone, I am here with you
though you're far away,
I'm experience the same


The other day i was jisting Expectantmom about the nightmare i had that i almost woke up in tears, since my bfp i can say i have only slept 2 nights without having a nightmare. If i worry or watch horror movie, i will have a dream/nightmare version of it, these days i don't even bother

You can imagine now adding vigilante of 2hrs -3hrs to this , but i am not complaining oo i am romancing my package like that atleast its better than some other packages like MS, spitting, tiredness etc

Uririandme:




Thanks a lot mama for your response. I was told to stop a little earlier than this and it made me uncomfortable. I'll push to this time frame as well.

Did you stop abruptly at this dose or reduced to once daily first?
Thanks once again.

for the cyclogest i stopped once, cos the tabs i was given was calculated to finish when i clocked 13weeks. Duphaston i weaned off it. You can discuss with your Dr also

Okay sis i will check the PM

imsettled2:


Thanks for your input, it is actually for IUI he didn't add any other drug just letrozole.

Pls discuss with your Dr, I had 4 iui's and never went beyond 5 days on letro, though I only had one cycle of it and I have never heard anyone take beyond 5 days. Other mama's will add their input too

MODIFIED
I had to google the use of letro for 10days and it is an actual practice which yields good result when compared to the short-5days protocol for iui. I am sure your Dr has prescribed this as your peculiar/personalized treatment. Don't fright sis, just trust everything will work together for your good and you will testify this cycle. Don't give up yet or conclude your Dr prescribed wrong dosage, I was just never placed on 10days protocol. read below for more information about it.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18706549/

Is this your 1st iui cycle?

Uririandme:
Mamas who successfully went through ivf and pregnancy, when did you stop your cyclogest please?
Thanks all.

I was told to stop mine at 13weeks and I did just that was on 400mg, 2x daily

imsettled2:
Good evening and happy weekend to everyone.
Please I want to know the right dosage for letrozole, I have gone through the thread but what I'm seeing is different from what my Dr. Prescribed for me; he prescribed 2.5mg 1x2 daily for 9days from CD 2 to CD 10.
Mamas that have used letrozole before please come and help me out.

Hello Sis, dosage is usually for 5 days maybe reconfirm from ur Dr and know why he/she wants u to take for 10days, sometimes other injectables are even continued after 5th day on let.r if it is iui, but reconfirm and ask questions till you are clear
