<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have tried without success to understand what it is that attracts men to remote controls, especially the TV remote. A lot of men (my husband, the king of them all) find the remote control so irresistible. Once he steps into the living room he goes straight for the remote and for the entire period he spends there I'll have to kiss the remote goodbye. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fact that they confiscate the remote for the next couple of hours is not really the problem, it is the fact that they are incapable of staying on a channel for more than a micro second. I often wonder how they satisfy that desire to watch a programme on TV ( except the sports channel, if there is some championship or tournament then the TV stays on that channel forever)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thought I was in this alone until I heard other women complain about the same problem. I have also discovered this is not a problem with men alone but with the entire male gender and they start so young. Its almost as if they have a secret gene passed from father to son and has continued for generations unbroken and unnoticed by women. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some women have succeeded in getting some remote time while others like myself have given up. As long as I get to watch my favorite programmes, of which i'll have to announce several times for all to hear, he can run around the channels for as long as he pleases.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have tried and tried to keep the remote away from him and have discovered it is impossible to keep him away from the remote. Men just light up at the mere sight of a remote control and once they get their hands on it they are like a kid let loose in a candy store, they just can't stop.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ladies, we need to do something about this and fast, maybe declare a ladies remote control day each week, when no male is allowed to get close to the remote.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
what do you think?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfo20_gueNbel35GI_Ccq7DxCKGJFt7EzbqA4ocUe9LjyNPHuk9QavYh0TyLROu_q7mTfjKlOYExWjR0qGXpCCVU6vn1WvgdBwWWodqzkTaW9wPlhMaCmhe-Wt-d0nATwu2Rhgbkr96thW/s1600/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfo20_gueNbel35GI_Ccq7DxCKGJFt7EzbqA4ocUe9LjyNPHuk9QavYh0TyLROu_q7mTfjKlOYExWjR0qGXpCCVU6vn1WvgdBwWWodqzkTaW9wPlhMaCmhe-Wt-d0nATwu2Rhgbkr96thW/s320/image.jpg" width="210" /></a></div>
A person's self esteem goes a long way to determine how they relate with and are perceived by people. Low self esteem is very unhealthy for any relationship, be it marriage, courtship, family or just an ordinary friendship. We all feel low or inadequate sometimes but when a person constantly feels he/she is not good enough or can never do anything right then it becomes a problem and sure enough will affect the way they act and relate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How you feel inside is usually reflected in your words and actions, so if you constantly feel inadequate then you would always seek other people's approval and usually won't deal well with compliments. Eventually your confidence level drops so much you may even become depressed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In any relationship, we love to know the other party is someone that is capable of making their own decisions and holding their own. Confidence is the one thing everyone needs in any relationship. It shows you have your own personality and are comfortable in your own skin. Being clingy and always seeking the other party's approval can be annoying and a turn off for most people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To fix a low self esteem, you have to be ready to honestly examine yourself. Identify what the issues are with you. What are the things that you feel most negative about? Is it a part of your body? Culture, education etc. try to accept and embrace who you are, concentrate on the positives and not the negatives. What are the things that make you happy? Do them most often and don't do things because other people are doing them, do things because you genuinely want to.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, love who you are, other people cannot love you if you don't love yourself first and if you love yourself you would do things that would make you happy which would be reflected in your everyday life and ultimately your relationship.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig5Q4exv7y6XT5Qa1A8aRuZQxv4a_CQFTw4Z1bikXds0loxF4QTC6PUxuQzR5YXX6ZpP7xLorDhHA978eKQt4ZOhA37AQ3O2NFp6RXWUJ6iGbG4VsIU3B7DlJpiCxCvP41RhNJu-L6ucK_/s1600/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig5Q4exv7y6XT5Qa1A8aRuZQxv4a_CQFTw4Z1bikXds0loxF4QTC6PUxuQzR5YXX6ZpP7xLorDhHA978eKQt4ZOhA37AQ3O2NFp6RXWUJ6iGbG4VsIU3B7DlJpiCxCvP41RhNJu-L6ucK_/s320/image.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
How do you know if it is love or possession? It is easy to confuse one for the other. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I like to describe possessiveness as a desire to completely own and control. And when it has to do with another human being, to own and control all or most aspects of that person's life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A lot of people are guilty of this especially at the beginning of a relationship, mostly because they are still getting to know each other and don't yet completely trust each other. Even at this stage it is not an excuse to be possessive and does not in any way show love.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This feeling of possessiveness must never be confused for love or being protective, it is totally different from those two. If someone loves you they would let you make your own decisions, they would give you your space, they would not question your every move or go through your calls to know who you 'be been communicating with and so on. Infact true love is setting that person free believing and trusting that they would make the right decisions for themselves and being there to pick them up when they fail.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Possessiveness in a relationship is very unhealthy and if not addressed can have very terrible consequences. With possessiveness comes jealousy and often times violence follows. I saw a true life program on TV a few days ago in which a groom stabbed his bride to death a few hours after their wedding because he saw her chatting with his cousin and got jealous. This chat with his cousin was not even going on privately, it was in full view of everyone, the wedding guests were still around. She was actually trying to hook up her cousin who told her she liked him. Now what is wrong with that? We all do that all the time. Her husband saw them talking, got upset and stabbed her to death and she was still in her wedding dress with their few months old baby in a crib nearby. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nobody wants to end up this way but it happens.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before going into a marriage, any signs of possessiveness has to addressed because it usually gets worse. If you still don't feel comfortable it is best you end the relationship before it becomes abusive because it definitely will.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ashley and John got married about a year ago. At first, things went on well. They made long term plans like any other couple. But lately Ashley thinks John has changed. He doesn't spend as much time with her as he used to, his temper is so short and they seem to argue over everything, he leaves his clothes all over the place and when she complains he flays up and tells her she is nagging him. She feels he has changed so much, he is not the wonderful, loving and understanding man she married. She doesn't want to say she regrets getting into the marriage but that is how she feels. She wants to keep loving him but she is beginning to hate him and is wondering what she got herself into. Divorce? No, she doesn't want that, even though it creeps into her mind once in a while. She is so depressed and unhappy and wants to fix this but how can she when her attempts always turn into another senseless argument. This is so difficult.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"He has changed" or "She has changed". These words are so common in the early years of marriage. It makes you wonder if there is any couple that did not mutter these words in their early years of marriage. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first few years of marriage can be difficult because you are still learning a lot about living together as a married couple. You are gone past the butterfly feelings of dating and courtship, the excitement of the wedding and the fantasy of the honeymoon, next stop, reality and it just hits you without any warning, if you are unprepared it may hit so hard that you may not be able to handle it and down goes your marital bliss. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A lot of couples experience what Ashley is experiencing in the first few years of their marriage because most times couples don't get enough information, preparations and direction before going into a marriage. They often go in thinking the fantasy of the honeymoon will continue. They have to be told about the realities of marriage. There will be misunderstandings, how do you handle them when they occur? Both of you were raised in different homes, picked up different habits while growing up, had different friends, react differently to situations. Considering all these factors and the fact that you have to live with each other and see each other everyday, you see it requires more work than you thought, right? But there is a way out, communication....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Beauty of Communication</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The usefulness of this tool in marriage cannot be over emphasised. Learn to communicate your feelings properly and you'll find that the misunderstandings and arguments will be considerably reduced. While communicating your feelings, do not confuse them with your thoughts or judgement. Always say what you feel, how a certain thing makes you feel and not what you think or try to accuse or judge him/her. Express how you feel in the most loving way you can and don't aim to win. You are not at war.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After you have spoken, give him/her a chance to speak and while they speak, listen attentively to what they have to say, do not interrupt and do not ask unnecessary questions. Be quick to apologise when you are wrong and even quicker to accept an apology and forgive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I suggest that Ashley tries to have a conversation with john tell on a day he is in a good mood, maybe on a weekend, when both of them are likely not stressed from work. She should tell him how she feels and try to not judge him as he may be going through the same changes that she is going through and would not know unless he opens up to her. Trying to communicate with him the right way will surely get him to open up and hopefully it will be a step in the right direction. Both should be honest with each other and actively work towards maintaining a healthy marital relationship.</div>

Using OPKs to predict ovulation is becoming more and more common. OPKs are similar to pregnancy test sticks. They work by detecting a hormone known as Luteinizing Hormone. There is usually an LH surge a couple of hours before ovulation and OPKs work by detecting this surge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you get a positive OPK result it means your ovulation is around the corner. Some manufacturers claim ovulation will most likely happen within 36 - 48 hours after you get the positive result.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are different brands of OPKs in the market but they work basically the same way. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before you start testing you have to know the length of your cycle and then based on that, follow the instructions on the attached leaflet. Usually the instructions will let you know what day to start testing based on the length of your cycle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On your specified day, you test by either placing the chemical coated part of the test stick in your urine stream for a few seconds or collecting some of your your urine in a clean container and placing the chemical coated part of the test stick in it for a few seconds and then placing it on a flat surface or facing down for a few seconds. After which it gives either a positive or negative result.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Clear Blue digital OPK is one of the good brands in the market. I have used that before and found the result easy to read. You either have a clear circle to show a negative result or a smiley to show a positive result. See picture below.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

A positive digital OPK result</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A negative OPK result means no LH surge has been detected while a positive OPK result means an LH surge has been detected so ovulation is around the corner.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You may or may not have to test for a few days before you get a positive result. You are usually advised to reduce your liquid intake about 4 hours before you test and when you do get a positive result, you are advised to have intercourse on the day of the positive result and the day after to maximise your chances of conception.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Please be sure to read and follow the attached instructions for accurate results.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These few methods of predicting ovulation i have outlined are just to help maximise your chances at predicting ovulation and not to tell you exactly when you ovulate. No one, as I said earlier can tell you for sure the exact time ovulation occurs but if you keep observing your body and using the necessary tools, you may just get close enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Good luck and lots of baby dust to all trying!!!</div>

<b>VAGINAL DISCHARGE/CERVICAL MUCUS</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A lot of women don't really understand this cervical mucus thing, some say they don't see anything when they observe, while others find it disgusting. But it is another way that mother nature communicates with us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every woman's cervix (the cervix connects the vagina to the womb) produces mucus, which is thick during the infertile time of your cycle, at this stage it prevents the sperm from penetrating but this changes during ovulation. As you approach ovulation the hormone estrogen encourages changes in the quantity and quality of this mucus.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>FERTILE MUCUS</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you approach ovulation the appearance of this mucus begins to change. If you observe your underwear closely or observe the tissue when you wipe, immediately after your period, you would hardly see any mucus at all. You will feel dry for the first few days after your period. But if you keep observing you would notice a yogurt like discharge, cream in colour, sticky to the touch and not stretchy at all. As the days go by you notice that the discharge is gradually getting lighter, clearer and a bit stretchy, this shows you are gradually approaching ovulation. When the mucus gets to the point where it is more in quantity, clear, thin and very stretchy then you are around your most fertile period. At this point the mucus looks a lot like egg white and you can actually stretch it a few centimeters between your thumb and fore finger before it breaks. This is the part where a lot of people find disgusting but if you can stomach it see pictures of stretched out mucus.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The mucus helps to lubricate the vagina and make it friendly for the sperm to swim and fertilize the egg.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Intercourse around this period may result in pregnancy but remember that intercourse up to 6 days before ovulation can lead to pregnancy as sperm can survive for up to 5-7 days in a woman's body and still be able to fertilize an egg if ovulation occurs within that period.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can use this method to validate the date you get when you count 14 days backwards and if both happen around the same period then you are closer to predicting your ovulation day.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ovulation occurs every month when an egg is released from one of your ovaries into the Fallopian tube to await fertilization by the sperm. It is difficult to know which of the ovaries will release an egg and exactly when the egg will be released. This is done purely at random. If you are lucky enough to catch the very moment ovulation occurs and intercourse occurs, you are most likely to conceive as this is the most fertile time of every woman's cycle. But, as i said earlier, unfortunately, it is very difficult to catch that particular moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, nature is kind enough to give us some signs around this period so we can act accordingly, whether we want to conceive or avoid conception. First as with everything to do with our reproductive system we have to know how to track our menstrual cycle because ovulation usually occurs about midway through our cycle and if you don't know the length of your cycle you cannot know when you are midway. I know we were all told while in school and a lot of people still believe ovulation occurs on the 14th day of our cycle, well, I can tell you it is not true for every woman. I for one, do not ovulate on the 14th day. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
women ovulate anywhere from day 10 even up to day 20 depending on the length of their cycle. since the length of all our cycles are not the same, it does not make sense to say we all ovulate on the 14th day. even the same woman may not ovulate on the same day every month. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>CALCULATING AND TRACKING OVULATION.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Different women calculate their ovulation period in different ways some count from the first day of their period to around the middle of their period and some count from the first day of their next period backwards. I prefer the backwards calculation because I have combined it with other methods and found it more reliable. To count backwards.....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As always, first know the lenth of your cycle and you should have tracked your cycle for a couple of months to know when your next period is most likely to begin. Then count 14 days backwards from the first day of your next period.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For instance, using the same table for calculating the length of Jane's cycle, let us try and work out when Jane is most likely to ovulate</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the table above Jane's next period is to start on June 8, so to find out when she is most likely to ovulate we count 14 days backwards from June 8. Count with me.....what day did you come up with? day 12 right? Jane is most likely to ovulate around day 12. But that's not all, don't stop there, remember I said earlier that no one can pin point ovulation so now that we know around when it is most likely to occur, we also have to play safe and cover all grounds to make sure we don't miss it by a day or two since our cycle lengths may not be the same every month. To do this, I usually add 3 days before the date and 2 days after the date to my crucial fertility days. For Jane her crucial fertility days will be day 10, day 11, day 12, day 13 and day 14. To conceive Jane will have to have intercourse every day or every other day on these days.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Note that these are presumed dates and using this method alone may not give you the exact day of ovulation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are trying to avoid conception remember that intercourse up to 6 days before ovulation can lead to conception so please discuss it with your doctor to figure out your fertile days.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Breastfeeding can also make your cycle irregular so also discuss with your doctor if you are breastfeeding. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A lot of us experience a certain kind of discomfort before or during our period every month. These discomfort are normal and usually subside on their own or with over the counter pain reliever.<br />
Every woman experiences this discomfort in a different way and can range from minor to severe for some women.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
women have complained of headaches, swollen and/or painful breasts, abdominal cramps, nausea, fatigue etc. and different women respond in different ways to the discomfort they experience around this period.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The menstrual discomfort experienced by a lot of women, my self included is abdominal cramps. These cramps are normal but can also signal some health issues when severe. If you experience severe abdominal cramps for more than 3 days and very heavy bleeding during your periods, you should contact your doctor to get checked out as this may be a symptom of uterine fibroid or endometriosis, but then again it could be nothing to worry about, you just have to be sure so contact your doctor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dealing with menstrual discomfort, I have come to understand is different for every woman. I will tell you a bit about mine and how I deal with it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started experiencing abdominal cramps on the first day of my period about 4 years after I started having my periods and have had it almost every month since then. At first, I decided not to take any drugs for it but to let it subside on its own. Overtime, I discovered that if I could get myself to sleep then it would be gone by the time I wake up so I started using that trick. I also discovered that the more sugar I took around this period the more painful the cramps so I started reducing my sugar intake a day before and on the first day of my period and it has worked so well that sometimes I don't even have cramps at all when I stay off sugar for those 2 days.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These days I take a pain reliever once my period starts so I'm ready when the cramps eventually hit as I may not be able to take a nap.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other women have also noticed that some of the following have helped them get relief from their cramps.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Using a hot water bottle to apply some heat on the abdomen</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Avoiding alcohol, fitzy drinks and foods with sugar or salt</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adjusting their diet by including lots of fibre</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Exercising.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Taking a hot cup of tea.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So how do you get relief from your discomfort this time of the month?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>Track your menstrual cycle</b><br />
<br />
Okay, so this is a huge part of natural conception. Tracking your cycle is extremely important if you want to conceive naturally but that's not all, it is important for every woman to know how to track her cycle because that is a window into the female reproductive system. Think about it, almost every time you visit a doctor, one of the questions the usually ask is, when was your last period? this is because your period tells a lot of stories about your health in general and your reproductive health in particular. you will understand it better as we go on....<br />
<br />
<b>Do you know the length of your cycle?</b><br />
<br />
This is the first thing you should learn as you begin tracking your cycle. The average number of days used in most cases is 28 days but i want you to understand that not every woman has a cycle length of 28. our cycles vary, some are as short as 21 days while some others are up to 36 days and to know yours you have to observe your body and note the dates.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">To calculate the length of your cycle correctly always count
the first day of blood flow or period as day 1, it doesn’t matter how heavy or
light the flow is as long as you see blood it is to be counted as day 1, then
the next is day 2, then day 3 and so on, you should continue counting until you
get to the first day of your next period. When you have counted until the first
day of your next period, then you have completed a cycle. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The length of your cycle is different from the length of your
blood flow or period. Your blood flow on average can stop anywhere from day 2 –
day 7 depending on your body but your cycle continues, so even when the blood
flow stops to get your correct cycle length you should continue counting until
the first day of your next period. In other words your cycle length is from day
1 of your period to day 1 of your next period.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>For instance</b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Jane just got home from
work on Friday May 13 and went to ease herself, she noticed some blood on her
underwear and so she put a pad knowing that her period just started. Three days
later on May 16, there was no longer any blood so she stopped putting any pad
on her underwear and she went on living her normal life until Thursday June 8,
she woke up to get ready for work and noticed some blood again on her underwear
so she knew her period had started again and had to put in a pad for the day. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">To calculate Jane’s cycle length we will make a chart and
count from day 1 of her period to day 1 of her next period<o:p></o:p></span></div>

From the table above Jane's period lasted for 4 days while the length of her cycle is 25 days.<br />
<br />
I hope the table above helps to explain further. You can actually note your dates on your phone, diary, calender, anything at all you are comfortable with to remind you of your start and end dates. By the time you do this for a couple of months, you will begin to have a general idea of the length of your cycle and be able to predict your next period. I say general because you will also find out that you may not have your period on the say day every month, the dates will change from time to time but the change will not be drastic and you will get used to the changes as you continue to track.</div>

<b>Exercise</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maintaining a healthy weight while trying to conceive is important. Being overweight or underweight can throw off your hormones and can affect your ovulation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best way to know if you are overweight or underweight is to calculate your Body Mass Index.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A simple way to do this is to </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Check your weight in kilograms</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Check your height in meters</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To get your BMI divide your weight by your height squared </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For instance if Jane's weight in kilograms is 70 kg </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her height in meters is 1.6 meters</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her BMI is 70 divided by 1.6 x 1.6</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
70 divided by 2.56 = 27.34</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So Jane's BMI is 27.34</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most doctors consider BMI's in the following ways</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Below 19 is underweight</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Range of 19 - 25 is normal</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Between 25 to 28 is overweight</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Above 28 is obese</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Above 40 is dangerously obese</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Judging from the figures above we would say Jane is over weight and would need to exercise and get her BMI within the normal range.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To maintain a healthy BMI you need to eat right and exercise. If you don't normally exercise but want to start, you should start with mild exercises like taking walks and then progress to jogging. When I decided to start exercising I started with running up and down my stairs, I remember the first day I did that, I planned to run up and down my stairs 20 times but by the time I did 11 I was panting so much, it felt like my heart would pop out of my chest but with time it got better and better.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I'm trying to say is exercising does not have to feel like punishment, start with whatever you are comfortable with and then progress.</div>

Vegetable recipe</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vegetables are not the most fun stuff to eat. Tons of people hate vegetables mainly because you can't really place their taste. Let's face it a lot of vegetables don't taste nice period!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I do enjoy vegetables that are well prepared especially the leafy ones like spinach, which also happens to be a good source of folic acid like I mentioned earlier.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will go on to give you one of my personal recipes. It is quick to prepare, can be made with any kind of vegetable and served with rice, potatoes or yam. You can even eat it alone if you wish.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here we go.....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
VEGETABLE SAUCE (SPINACH)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
400g fresh or frozen spinach ( doesn't matter if its chopped or whole)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 clove garlic, finely chopped</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 onion, thinly sliced</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 red pepper, chopped<br />
2 tomatoes, chopped</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 tablespoon oil ( olive oil is best but you can use vegetable oil if you don't have olive oil)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sardines or salmon (1tin if using the tinned one)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
450g cooked prawns</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
150ml chicken stock ( 2/3 cup)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 stock cubes or 2 tablespoons of fish sauce (which ever you prefer)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Put a fry pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the garlic, onion and red pepper to the fry pan. Stir for 1-2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and stir for 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and fish sauce or stock cubes, stir and cook for 2 minutes then add the prawns and sardines or salmon, cook for another 2 minutes. Finally add the spinach. If frozen, until defrosted and heated all through but if fresh, cook for 2-3 minutes. Then serve with rice, potatoes or yam.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's done. Easy peasy right?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Serves 4</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember you can tweak it as you want, to suit you. You can add more spinach if you wish, it is after all, all about the vegetable isn't it?</div>

Watch what you eat</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While trying to conceive it is important to watch what you put into your system for your over all health and well being and also to get ready for the baby.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know it is really difficult to give up all that yummy stuff and get into the habit of eating some boring food but you can make it exciting for yourself, I say mix and match, try new things, try coming up with your own version and you 'll see that you'll not only enjoy them, you will also have fun trying them out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVKfouVB5pKSMdwLM0kJfqiyF6BToMtCdFkci_cqrDuGcYDYiuOzh6yRI1opvIjZWBAyB9s34jEe4_xmSAoJ2fR3eN2g9pKuWv4hUBsQ9txjtT1FJjA0f1YzMOwxlsUVqrVsNXMmDEW1_c/s1600/photo+fruits.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVKfouVB5pKSMdwLM0kJfqiyF6BToMtCdFkci_cqrDuGcYDYiuOzh6yRI1opvIjZWBAyB9s34jEe4_xmSAoJ2fR3eN2g9pKuWv4hUBsQ9txjtT1FJjA0f1YzMOwxlsUVqrVsNXMmDEW1_c/s320/photo+fruits.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>
Fruits and vegetables are really important while trying to conceive. try to eat lots of leafy green vegetables such spinach and other green vegetables such as green beans and broccoli. These are all good sources of forlic acid which helps prevent birth defects in babies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Citrus fruits, kiwi fruit, black currant and tomatoes are good sources of Vitamin C while you can get your Vitamin A from mangoes, apricots, carrots.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember to also include wholegrains, nuts and dairy products in your diet. Fish is also a good source of vitamin D but you should be careful not to go for the bigger ones as they are known to contain mercury, the smaller ones such as sardines, salmon and herring are better and don't forget you can get your Zinc from sea food and bananas(remember guys need zinc for sperm health)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, looking at everything listed above they don't look so interesting by themselves but I'll tell you what I do with fruits. I usually make a smoothie. It is more interesting to make and more yummy than just picking up an apple or banana to eat. making a smoothie is so simple and you can make it with any kind of fruit you choose.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
RECIPE FOR A SMOOTHIE (serves 2)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You'll need</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A blender</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 apples</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 ripe banana</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 oranges (peeled but not squeezed)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
180g low fat yogurt</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
200 mls low fat milk</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To make this smoothie just toss everything into the blender and blend until you get the consistency you like and just pour in a glass and drink. I promise you, you will love it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think its a fun way to take fruits and you can try out a different mix of fruits each time to see how it turns out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While you enjoy your smoothie, watch out for a recipe for vegetables.......</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Alcohol</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is another habit that should be stopped if you are trying to conceive. There are mixed messages as to whether drinking a little bit during pregnancy is safe. I say steer clear totally because you stand to gain a lot more and save yourself the worry and blame if anything happens to your child.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Excessive alcohol consumption during pregnancy can cause a lot of problems especially in the early stages of pregnancy, which is when the baby's organs and limbs develop. If a woman consumes a lot of alcohol at this stage the alcohol could get into the babies bloodstream and cause a defect known as foetal Alcohol Syndrome. This defect can affect the baby's facial features, cause behavioural problems and can restrict his growth and development.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other problems associated with alcohol intake during pregnancy include</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Miscarriages</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Low birth weight</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Heart problems</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ladies anytime you think of alcohol while trying to conceive think of all the pain and suffering you may cause your child. I don't think it's worth it</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For guys, excessive alcohol can </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reduce sperm quality</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reduce sperm quantity</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reduce libido</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And can eventually cause impotence.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bottom line, men avoid excessive alcohol intake especially while trying to conceive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ladies, avoid alcohol altogether while trying to conceive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you need help stopping you can contact your local hospital or medical Center for a list of agencies that can assist you.<br />
<br />
<br />
Recreational Drugs<br />
<br />
Couples trying to conceive are also advised to avoid using recreational drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin etc. These drugs affect sperm health and productivity in men and cause ovulatory and menstrual irregularities in women.<br />

Conception Lifestyle NO-NOs</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The way you live your life may not be anyone's business but it may affect your unborn child.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want to conceive naturally and have a healthy child you should consider making some adjustments to your lifestyle if you have certain habits that may be harmful to you or your child and there is no better time to do that than before conception.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of those changes are</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Smoking</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This habit as we all know is harmful to you as a person. The chemicals you inhale attack several parts of your body including your lungs and can cause cancer. you can only imagine what it can do to your unborn child.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you smoke it cuts off oxygen supply to the baby and makes its heart beat faster and work harder.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You have an increased risk of miscarriage</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An increased risk of stillbirth</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An increased risk of preterm birth</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Those are just some of the risks you run when you smoke while pregnant. You ask though, why not smoke until I get pregnant, then I'll stop? It doesn't work that way, first of all, think of yourself and what it could do to your health, secondly, you may not even know you are pregnant for several weeks and may be smoking for those weeks and harming your baby without knowing it and finally, remember I talked about the chemicals you inhale when you smoke, these chemicals remain in your body for a period of time within which if you conceive, may harm your child. This is why you are advised to quit smoking even before you begin to try to conceive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Men are also advised to quit smoking before trying for a baby for the sake of their health and also the health of their sperm. Studies show that smoking in men can affect sperm concentration, motility and morphology(shape of sperm).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are trying to conceive and still smoking, try as much as possible to quit. If you need help, you can contact your local hospital or medical Center, they usually have a list of agencies in your area that could assist you.</div>

<b>Prepare your body</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once the doctor gives both of you the go ahead to get busy, the next step is to prepare your bodies so your child comes into the world as healthy and strong as possible. How do you do this?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ladies, take your folic acid/Pre- natals. Your doctor would have told you to start taking folic acid if you haven't already started. Doctors usually advice women to start taking folic acid at least 3 months before they start trying to conceive. What is this folic acid and why do you have to take it even before conceiving? Isn't it supposed to be for the baby? I' ll tell you why in a second.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Folic acid belongs to the vitamin B family and helps to prevent birth defects in babies and also in the development of the baby especially the brain and spine. You are usually told to start taking them before you conceive because most women do not know they are pregnant until they miss a period, which is about 2 weeks after they conceive and by then some of the baby's organs such as the brain have already developed.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The CDC recommends a daily dose of 400 micrograms of folic acid for women of child bearing age especially those trying to conceive. Some doctors also advise women trying to conceive to take pre natal supplements, I personally think this is a great idea because they usually contain the recommended 400 micrograms of folic acid and some other necessary vitamins and minerals to help keep you healthy while you try. Remember though that you should check the contents of your pre natals to make sure it contains the recommended dose, your doctor can help you choose the best one for you and your man, yes, your man, they need supplements too. Men need to take their supplements too especially one that contains Zinc. Zinc helps in the production of healthy sperm.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So ladies when you step out to pick up your pre natals, pick up one for your man too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Natural conception comes easily for some while it takes a bit longer for others. The first thing I tell people when they complain about the fact that their friend conceived a few months into trying and it's taking them longer is that no two people and circumstances are the same, no two bodies are the same and both of you are not married to the same husband. That does not mean you have a problem or that your husband has a problem, it could just mean you need to balance a few things in your body or lifestyle and also monitor your body closely and voila! It could even be you just need to relax.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I know a huge percentage of pregnancies are not planned but I think it is still wise to plan to conceive. When I say plan to conceive, I don't mean going shopping or planning the exact night, I mean taking the decision that you are ready to begin to try to conceive. Of course you can't take the decision alone, you should have a proper discussion with your husband and decide on when you want to begin because you want to be sure both of you are mentally, emotionally, physically and financially ready for that wonderful but huge responsibility. You just have to be sure both of you are in a place where you are ready to give all of yourselves and more for that tiny, cute bundle.</span></div>
</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Once you are done deciding, your next stop is your doctor's office. Both of you would need to see your doctor for a pre-conception check. This is a very important bit that a lot of couples over look. These days even to get hired for a job, you need a medical check, why would you not want to be sure your body is in its best state to house your child?</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">During your check up, your doctor will ask you some questions, some of which may be about your sexual health, try to be very honest with him, let him know if you have or have had any STDs? Any abortions? Do you suffer from any illnesses such as diabetes? Try as much as you can to answer all his questions. It may be difficult to discuss certain issues but I can assure you that once you are out of that office you would feel like a huge load has been lifted off your shoulders. I always say your doctor and your priest are alike, one takes care of your body and the other your soul and both demand honesty for best results. Don't forget to ask questions, no matter how silly it may seem, most times it's not as silly as you think and you want to know anyway, silly or not. You can make a list of the questions you want to ask so you don't forget them.</span></div>

<b>The final bit</b><br />
<br />
I'm sure you have been wondering why I have not talked about compatibility, understanding, respect and so on, well, that's because the fact that you are already engaged and thinking of getting married means all that and more are already in place, right? I hope the answer is yes, if you had to think about it then maybe you are not quite ready. To have gotten to this point in your relationship means you are both very in love, you are compatible, have mutual respect for each other, have long term goals and plans together and are so committed you long to spend the rest of your lives together.<br />
Don't get me wrong no one is perfect and you can never get everything you want in another human being but these are the foundation that everything else will be built on, these will help you accept the imperfections in him/her and help you forgive and keep loving.<br />
<br />
Now that you have no doubts in your mind that this is the one, you can confidently take that vow and waltz into your happy marriage.<br />
<br />
All the best!<br />

Question 6</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What about the inlaws?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meeting the inlaws? Wow! a big step but also a difficult one for some. Dealing with inlaws can be very tricky but the key lies in your partner. He/she knows them better than you do so if you are uncomfortable with them in any way, i suggest you discuss it with him/her. The way he/she handles the issue will give you an insight into how it will be handled later in the marriage. Some families are so close that they meet the new addition with some kind of negative attitude but he/she should be the one to make it clear that you are now a huge part of his/her life and should be treated as such. He/she should have your back at all times and show that he/she would support you no matter what. However not all inlaws are from hell, some are actually wonderful and would accept and help you adjust. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Question 5</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Have you considered cultural and religious issues?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes you heard me right, religion and culture. we like to tell ourselves that wont be a problem but religion and culture often become a problem when both of you feel strongly about your faith and heritage. I once watched a match making show where a man and woman were hitched by the match maker, everything was perfect between them except the fact that both refused to back down when it came to their faith and that relationship didn't make it beyond the first date. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even if you think religion wont be an issue after marriage, it is still wise to talk about it before going in. Also if you are of different cultures you have to bear in mind that you may not always do things the same way since both of you have different backgrounds. Communication and trust should be extra important in your relationship, be sure to build a good and trusting relationship where both of you are free to express yourselves appropriately before the vow. Don't ever imagine you can convince him/her to adopt your faith and way of life when you get in or worse still believe it doesn't matter. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That being said, the good news is that a lot of people have married people of other cultures and religion and it has worked wonderfully well.</div>

Do you think it is important to discuss your faith before marriage?</div>

Question 4</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>How committed are you to each other?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the part where a lot of people get the shivers but it is also one of the most important things to be considered before taking the all important leap. The word commitment is associated with other word such as trust, loyalty, obligation, pledge, promise, guarantee, dedication and more. Take a hard and honest look at him/her, does he/she reflect all those words? you need to understand that you are going into a huge contract, one not to be taken lightly. Commitment from both parties is so important that without it the marriage may not survive. It is what will see you through the various changes you would go through in your lives together. Marriage comes with a lot of different situations, some wonderful, some lovely but some not so pleasant and some challenging. The wonderful ones? We all love them and live for them but the challenging ones are the ones we need to stick together to get through. You need to be sure both of you are ready to make the required sacrifices and give all the love and support at those times.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Does he/she love you enough?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Loooveeee........ don't we all love being in love? It's so wonderful and feels really good but hey, pause a bit does he/she really love you as much as you do him/ her or is all that love coming from you? You should think about how he/she treats you in private and when both of are around people. You have to be sure he/she is really into you at this stage and I don't mean just the part where he can't keep his hands off you, I mean something stronger and deeper. Lust can be strong too, trust me, sometimes even feels like love but be careful not to confuse them. You want to be sure he/she'll be there when everyone and everything else is lost. You have to understand you can't make someone love you, not before marriage and definitely not after you have taken that vow. However, I can assure you that if he/she loves you as much as you love him you would have a wonderfully balanced marriage.</div>

Question 2</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Do you really love him/her enough?</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We would love to convince ourselves that we are really in love with that person we plan to marry but sometimes we are not really being truthful. This is a point where we should be honest to ourselves. Is this love you profess really enough to endure all life throws your way. Ask yourself what you really love about him/ her, make a list of all the things you love and do not love about him and then think of how much of those things you don't love that you can tolerate and to what extent. This little exercise will give you a glimpse of what you would live with and if you can tolerate a lot of the annoying things about him/her, then you may just love him/her enough.</div>

Do you think it is important to be very much in love when you get married or just get married and then let the love grow? Let us know what you think.</div>

Before taking the big leap, slow down, step back and ask yourself some questions. A lot of times we are caught up in all the excitement of the engagement and wedding plans that we forget to reflect and honestly ask ourselves the most important questions. Marriage is such an important venture and funny enough we don't take it that seriously at the beginning. We would consider several questions as we move along. You are welcome to chip in as much as you like and oh, I would love to hear your stories too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the first question is </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Why do you really want to get married?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
People get married for so many different reasons, ranging from companionship to money to love, lust and the list goes on and on but do you know that your reason for getting married can greatly influence the way you treat your marriage, in some cases the marriage can completely break down if you marry for the wrong reasons. Again what is wrong is relative right? Trust your instincts, if it feels wrong then it's probably wrong. Look at it this way would you still laugh at his/her jokes if stripped off everything, money, beauty etc. you know how the jokes you used to laugh at become suddenly annoying. I believe it is good to be beautiful and/or rich or marry someone that is rich and/or beautiful but they say beauty is only skin deep, will that pull you through difficult times? being feeble beings anything can happen at anytime. Being realistic at this time is more important than ever. Think hard and deep and most of all be true to yourself and for whatever the reason for getting in be sure you are convinced you will be happy on the long run but do think about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why did you get married and do you think you made the right choice? Let us know</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
