what helps out dry cm, evening primrose? hormone imbalance.
Always dry cerv mucous?
Try preseed lubricant. It's the only approved lubricant for couples TTC. go to www.preseed.com to see where you can buy it. However, I'd find out why you're not producing CM-it could be something else.

Hot flushes...remedies?
I am 50 yrs old and have been having hot flushes on and off for 18 mths. I take 1000mgs Evening Primrose oil a day which was helping but recently flushes have been worse. one minute I'm really hot and uncomfortable and the next I'm freezing cold. I do not want to take HRT so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hot flushes...remedies?
Red clover is ment to be good for hot flushes and things that people get with the menopause. There are many herbal remedies on the market be sure to consult a professional before taking these.Also have a look on this website for more information on menopause. Good luck
Reply:sage tea helps
Reply:I have been taking Bellergal Space tabs. You need a prescription from a doctor, it's the only thing I've found besides HRT that actually helps. I have tried all the natural remedies with no luck. My doctor also told me to increase my b6 vitamins.
I feel much better now. Still have some hot flashes but they don't last as long and are nowhere near as bad as they used to be.
Reply:Menopace from superdrug
Reply:I haven't been through menopause yet but I've read that drinking sage tea is very beneficial.
EDIT : oops , I just realised that Madge gave the same answer.... so then it must be true. Hope this helps ! :)

I'm 53, now postmenopausal, and I tried a lot of things. The B complex vitamins are good but you probably don't need an added multivitamin if you are eating properly. Omega-3 works well. You must take one that has an EPA(eicosapentaenoic acid) of over 400 mg. and a DHA(docosahexaenoic acid) of over 200 mg. It's not enough to just take any old omega oil because it's those two acids that are the important ones for mood stabilizing. Also make sure that it is molecularly distilled and purified. My friend Karen is a pharmacist and they have done many studies here in Canada on herbal remedies for any number of ailments and evening primrose oil does nothing at all for menopause. If people say it helps them, remember that in studies even a placebo(sugar pill) works 3 out of 5 times because psychologically they want to believe it, even if research has proven otherwise. Also a lot of herbal remedies are not regulated so you often don't know what your getting. According to Karen, they've found digoxin, which is a heart medication, in one "natural" herb medication. The person taking this "natural" herb had to be hospitalized for an irregular heartbeat which is a very serious thing. What I'm trying to say is be careful what you take because just because it's an herbal medication like black cohosh or evening primose oil doesn't mean it's a good thing. The Omega 3s have not had any adverse problems provided you get one that's been distilled and purified.
I know I was very emotional, cried a lot and hardly ever slept, still don't, because of the hormone fluctuation so I think I'd have been better off if my doctor had given me a sedative to knock me out completely for 7 yrs. Just kidding, but not really.
One more thing, exercise is definitely good if you can just motivate your *** to do it.
Reply:The only thing that has helped me is to go on estrogen,I was about your age when i went on it, It is a life saver and just today my Dr told me that Estrogen does NOT cause breast cancer....Thats new data from the breast meeting class he just went to last month.....There is no need for you to suffer...Thats for the olden days
Reply:perhaps you should try cream of sumyunguy
Reply:My mom swears by kava kava powder. You can buy it in health food stores. When she gets up in the morning, she makes a slim fast shake witha big dollop of kava kava and a multivitamin. I also take kava kava tincture around my monthlies... it really does work. A shot is like an instant mellower.

Reply:Good nutrition will help ease the symptoms of menopause by supplying a changing body with the nutrients necessary for optimal health throughout this transitional phase.Get enough calcium. A woman going through menopause needs 1000 mg to 1500 mg of calcium a day. Avoid excessive amounts of salt to reduce bloating associated with hormonal changes.

I am 38 weeks pregnant and i am 2cm dilated and completely effaced. My doctor told me it could be anytime.?
Is there anything i can do to help speed it up. Ive tried walking, sex, primrose oil.
I am 38 weeks pregnant and i am 2cm dilated and completely effaced. My doctor told me it could be anytime.?
Patience. :-) Your body and your baby will know when it is time. All babies do eventually come out.
I walked around 3-4 cm and 100% effaced for at least a week with my first.
Reply:seriously you should just let nature take it course. as long as you and baby are safe at the end of this thats all that matters.
however ..............
I understand your excitment/ tiredness and cant wait for all this to be over. so........
here are a few ideas.
run up and down stairs a few times
go for a car ride on a bumpy road
lovely "hot " relaxing bath
drink lots of fresh orange juice
as most people have suggested. " sex " there is suposed to be some kind of hormone in a mans sperm that can bring on labour ... not to sure if its an " Urban myth " though.
indulge and rest for the last few days/hours of not being on call 24 hours a day to feed,burp,change,bath a baby .
congratulations by the way xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reply:Walking is the best thing you can do. I know of some women that go past their due date and have been walking the entire pregnancy so all you can really do is wait.
Reply:my favorite method is sex.
Reply:You have trie dlots of sex on top? worked for me. i cleane dmy hous euntil i couldnt walk. scrubbe dfloors ect and than made love to my husband. i woke up at 5 am to my water breaking. i was so exhausted. it was my 3rd and my oldest was 3. very exhausted. Walking didnt work for me. some say spicy foods, but i didnt ahve to try that goo dluck
Reply:keep walking, lots of sex (you may not have it for awhile, so atleast enjoy it while you can!), spicy foods, sit on an excercise bal with your legs wide and rotate in circles, foot massage... It sounds like you will go soon on your own though... Good luck and congratulations.
Reply:Go eat soem Mexican food...my friend was in the same situation and planned an induction. She left the doctor, went to dinner at a mexican restaurant and went in to labor that night.

Any luck with Vitex?
just started Vitex on the 6th, which was the first day of my period, I've read great things about it, and Evening primrose oil also. Just wondering :) Thanks for your input.
Any luck with Vitex?
all it does is help to regulate your hormones so you may not need it I do suggest pre-natal vitamins they will help alot and one extra b-6 vitamin
Reply:It didn't work for me, honnestly. And it tasted awful lol ;)
But I've read many times it was working for others.. .So I'm wishing you plenty of baby dust ;)

Diagnosed with MS today?
my friend has been diagnosed with MS today.
I was expecting if because his legs are affected, he walks unsteadily.
The neurologist tesed his eyes on 01.08.07 and assumed it was MS because one eye was slow at following the neurologist's finger.
During the diagnosis, the neurologist teste his eyes again and said this his eyes are better.
I have advised my friend to take evening primrose and a multivitamin.
I dont know if that helped.
Any advice?
Diagnosed with MS today?
Well, your friend clearly has a good friend in you, if that makes sense. What you've suggested certainly won't do any harm and may well help. Have a look at the MS Society's website, they have lots of good suggestions on there.
Reply:Diet can help an awful lot. Look up the MS society on tinternet, they'll have some good advice.
Reply:i have read lots of articles that state lots of people have been diagnosed with MS, but have in fact another problem which shows alot of the same symptoms as MS but is just thickening of the blood. they are advised to take an asprin every day and the symptons go. also there have been cases again with all the same symptons but it is mild carbon monoxide poisoning caused by faulty appliances, so maybe your friend could check all this out. Good luck.
Reply:MS %26amp; its symptoms can be caused by infections of which some doctors know little or nothing about-if in doubt you could try for a second opinion-the private hospital below may investigate him %26amp; give a second opinion.
Reply:Some people advise taking vitamin B6 but this is not advised for people with M.S.
They should avoid echinacea too and flu injections. I'm not sure about evening primrose oil, it's worth checking out to see what manufacturers say.
I have had M.S. for 14 yrs and know that if I'm tired or stressed, my sight gets a bit worse and I slur. The neurologist would know your friend was under stress and would check his eyes again.

Is buying an ex council high rise flat a good investment? It is being refurbished with new cladding, windows?
the property is corner primrose hill and adelaide road
Is buying an ex council high rise flat a good investment? It is being refurbished with new cladding, windows?
Most council high rise flat in the UK are probably a good investment. (my opinion only) but you would have to look to the long term.
The building standards have changed over the years as have the methods of checking them.
A good survey should tell you what you need to know about the flat and the building it is in.
You could ask someone inthe building who has bought what their feeling is.
check the renewal period on the windows and cladding etc as you will no doubt be charged next time around. Look carefully at the lease for what are your responsibilities and what stays with the council. i.e. Gas Inspection (CP12) estate / service charges (cleaning, grass cutting, TV provision, drying areas....)
Good luck !
