@Zenoj, woww, congrats, this is the Lord's doing, it is marvellous in our sight, God be with u and ur family.

@all newbies, una welcome, your days on TTC are numbered. it won't be long.

@Kaynee, i used to av oily face coupled with pimples. what worked for me are mixing close-up toothpaste, honey and brown sugar as scrub, leave-in for 5minutes before washing it off every morning and at night, i apply neomedrol, which works for oily face.

The Lord is working on our behalf, lets not be discouraged, our miracles are nearer.

have a wonderful day

@kaynee, I am going to tell you what i did for my pimples. Used to hve a lots of pimples. In fact no place i no pimples for my body. Every part my dear, u need to see me. Omo, even me dey fear mysef.

first thing i did was to clean my sef frm the inside becos i realised dat i had used so many tins and chemicals had contaminated my blood. So i had to cleanse my blood. I took lots of water and also used splina. Splina is an edmark prdt guess u can buy it in any supermarket.Used it for abt 2-3mths.

After which i used one cream like dat, can't remember the name. Will tell u when i get home. Girl u need to me now. no pimples at all. my skin dey like baby own.
Try it out. Am sure it will help u.

@ Chi babe, sorry i missed ur post, whoaaaa 50days? it is well

probably u shd try Govt hospital, i can vouch for Island maternity and onikan health centre, they av good and experienced ob/gn.
it was in island maternity dey detected d ectopic i had early after roaming abt 4 hospitals in 2days including ifako General where dey told me it was fibroid.
a sister also started using Onikan health centre after 3yrs of irregular periods, now she is 3months+ pregnant. the only thing is dat they waste people's time but me think its worth the wait.

all d best dearie.

@Venus dearie, you are not alone in your predicament. As Flakeey has rightly submitted several of us are going through terrible marital experiences aside ttc that if you hear of others' you will run with your own so that someone with a worse ordeal will not swap with you. Just wipe your tears and draw closer to your God who is the ever present help in times of trouble.

I've read with interest and envy of ladies with supportive dhs and Ive also read of those with I-don't-care attitude like yours and mine. What can we do, again I say wipe your tears and draw closer to God. This seems vague but except the Lord builds the house they labour in vain that build it.

I ttc for 4yrs and was blessed with a son who is now 4yrs old. My dh has not cared a hoot abt making another baby. I can count on my finger tips the number of times we made love since the birth of our only child 4yrs ago. Since the beginning of the year he has not kissed let alone slept with me. Reason? None that I know and he's such a person tht you cannot discuss with, the moment you start a discussion in that direction he'll pick up a quarell and we may not talk for a week until I make peace with him. If he feels we do not need another child again, should he just express it and we both agree? I'm battling with multiple fibroids and he always sees me taking different herbs/suplements/injections and all, just to make me fit to be able to have just one more child at 47 fast approaching 48 . Ta ni mo fe ro temi fun, aya fi Babaloke (who will I tell my ordeal but God?) So, dear sister, cast your care upon the Lord and 'manage' your dh as best as you can. Your expectations shall not be cut short.

Goodmorning fruitful mothers of blessed children of God. Baby dust to us all.

Nenny

@marriedbtlonely , It could be that your husband is suffering from sexual problems may loss of libido or erec.tile dysfunction.

Have you tried initiating lovemaking?

Encourage him to watch his weight, take Zinc and or wellmand vitamins and feed him foods that can boost testosterone production and libido.

Chai! Una see say na my own people dey betray me? Et tu, Tbaby? But you know say the fear of person wey pass you is the beginning of wisdom? Lolzzzzz. Safe06 pass me o! Person wey dey fold swimming pool put for handbag? Wetin i wan do na? LWKMD!

@ Marriedbtlonely, cast ur worries upon d Lord 4 He alone knows d end from d beginning. He's never too early nor too late, He's always on time. He doesn't need 2 consult ur past 2 bless u and He equally doesn't need 2 dialogue with ur husband b4 giving u another child if its d right time. Just continue 2 have faith in Him regardless of d situation u find urself in. He is too faithful 2 fail. Belive me when I say, everyone married is fighting one battle or d other and d reason is because d devil doesn't like anything good. Ur husband is a gift 2 u from God and reMember, He doesn't add sorrow 2 His gifts. It is only a matter of time and ur waiting period would be over 4 good. My dear, initiate sex if he doesn't and see if he would turn u down. The Lord will change ur story soon!

@ all, I wouldn't want 2 bore u with my story but I'm so confident that the Lord who did 4 me and Iam now a mother of a very beautiful baby would do it 4 u. My case seemed an impossible one because my husband and I were not staying 2gether right after our wedding. All the times I had false pregnancy symptoms, they never turned out positive until I took my mind off AF completely. The month I tested positive was when I never expected. In fact, I already bought my pad and was awaiting d arrival of AF. Waited and waited without anxiety o! Kept waiting that it would definitely come. Tested after one month of waiting and it came out positive. Pls note that all this period of waiting that turned positive, there was no symptom @ all except 4 frequent urination which I didn't even take note of until one of my colleagues jokingly talked abt it. Pls, I think anxiety is what gives u all those false symtoms.

@Venus, i can totally relate with what your going thru. I was depressed just a few weeks back, so much so dat i stopped praying. But i had 2 encourage myself in d Lord dat my case isn't d worst and dat as long as d Lord is still on the throne, i'll call carry my babies soon.
So, my dear just take it easy ok. Keep trusting the Lord to perfect all that concerns u.

@marriedbtlonely, its well with you. The Lord will def meet u at ur poInt of need but pls change the name abeg and start speaking positive words into ur life. Call forth the things dat are not as though they were

@All the newbies, welcome. Ur stay here will be short.

judii: All the times I had false pregnancy symptoms, they never turned out positive until I took my mind off AF completely. The month I tested positive was when I never expected.

Tested after one month of waiting and it came out positive.

Reducing stress definitely helps, most people anxiously testing for pregnancy every month are stressed.
I am sure most ttc folks conceive the moment they are not focussed on conceiving.

Maybe once every 2 or 3 months folks should have a month off from focussing on ttc, and just stayin healthy or focussing on family. Also it may be wise to detox your body of a lot of medication once in a while before restarting.

Let me share a story with u: We got married a day apart with my husband's cousin and almost immediately, the wife conceived. She delivered and I evn went over 2 spend some time with them. Maybe what gave me a speedy miracle was the fact that I was sincerely happy 4 them. Its a very long story but the high point of the story is: Gods time is the best. Never envy any one as u don't know what battles they are fighting. The couple was travelling and had a fatal accident and lost their baby instantly, lost the wife's sis, the wife had her 2legs broken. It was disasterous as they didn't know hw 2tel her abt her sis and baby. Now, they are starting all over again with the pain of loosing a child in that manner. Every delay is a blessing in disguise. Yes, pple might have gone ahead of u but remember, ur destiny isn't the same with theirs!

@venus my lovely dearling. I LOV U YES I DO.
First and foremost, the birth of 100 children for a man does not end negative issues in the home.
No one on earth can make you happy except yourself. decide to be happy no matter what the situation is.
No man is happy without a child of his own. even those with contraditing medical issues will not relax until they have that which they can call (my own child). You are your dh help meet, God knows the reason for bringing two of you together amongst millions of ladies/men in the whole world. There is no perfect dh in the whole universe. Every dh has his own common.
Please learn to be happy with yourself. Are you a complete housewife? pls try and get something doing no matter how small.

my sister in-law once called me last year to say its not time we call this marriage quite just because there is no child.for her to tell me this, imagine what she/they would have been telling my dh.. I tell you its not easy for our dh's as well in this issue of ttc. Do you know a man's child is his ego?.Most Nigerian men marry because of children and not love so when the child is not forth coming hmmmmmmmmmm. It will seem as if the whole world wants to crumble.

My love, plesase bend down low and look inward well well to see that which you will do to reignite love/companionship in your home. stop discussing ttc in your home for now. don't take drugs to enhance ttc in his presence. hide your pad from his sight is possible. if your flow is not too heavy, don't let him know when ur observing Af.

I tell you, its because your dh loves you that is why you notice his negative reactions about you, what will you tell women that has dh with constant negative reactions?.

Marriage is till death do you part and not till child do you part. Smile and know that God loves you so much, its only those he loves that he chastises.

@marriedbtlonely. you are not the only woman on this shoe. You sound like one that knows God better. some women in less situations like yours would have forgotten they were once married to your dh and gone their separate ways but you choose to stay. I love your courage. The God of host will crown your lonley heart with joy soon. your silent tears will soon be wiped away. You may ask how but God is an impossibility expert. so many men are under siege, they act without knowing what they are doing, soon the eyes of your dh will clear to his original God given responsibility. He will soon beg you for forgiveness. You will be surprise how God will turn your marriage around for good. Receive your peace!, the lord has forth your battle.

@safe06. honeslty you fall my hand. how you can you allow all of them go like that?, no no no? you are not carved out like that? you mean you will allow them go without? hmmmmmmmmmm.

@Tbaby4real, Flakeey,Dreamsinbic and Venus...i say a BIG thanks for ur concerned. pls Flakeey...could give me the full address of the hospitals u listed. i mean Island maternity and onikan health centre. tnx for ur urgent reply.
@all...any other suggestion is welcome..
@Venue...u ar a victor not a losser. dont give up sis. ur testimony is closer. be strong and courageous. it is wel wit ur home.

@marriedbutpretty, it is well with, thank God u already have a child, dat shd be a source of joy to u, The Lord will intervene in ur marriage and restore the joy and bliss of marriage to ur home. continue in ur fervent prayers, God is not deaf, he hears every of ur supplications.

@Chi,
island maternity, 9/10 campbell street, Lagos Island, behind St. Nicholas Hospital.
onikan health centre and maternity, dont know the house no. but its in Boyle street, onikan, lagos island, the medical centre is not far from yoruba tennis club.
all d best ma'am.

@Venus, God Almighty is ur strength. Your own is not the worst, Ok? be strong, one day all these turbulence will be over.
@Marriedbtlonely, i think u should change that name. Names and what we call ourselves play a negative/positive part in our lives. You are not alone, God is with u and ur son. The day ur dh will do mistake and touch u na ibeji.

I have a friend that was so hated by her dh, d man is a first class womanizer, sleeping with anything with "hole below". It was so bad that he brings them home and sleeps with them in their matrimonial bed while d wife will be outside waiting for them to finish. The man hardly touch her but she is a mother of 2boys n one girl now. She told me how she got pregnant for their first child, he came home and met her shaving in d bathroom, he made love to her as if say na rape,baby enter. second one he came home drunk. after four yrs again, the wife's mother came around and he said he want them (him n his wife) to sleep on the same bed so that the mother won't suspect wot is happening, baby 3 entered. Now d man behaves as if he cannot breath or live without his family. If u see them now, they r one happy family. He apologized, even begged me to thank his wife for not abandoning him. It was so bad then that families, pastors, women leaders were all involved in their case. Now all those things are stories, God doesn't abandon his own.

we should be patient and always remember the good side of our dh. they all married us because of love. we will conquer.

My dh doesn't even do as if we r ttc. he's still d loving and caring husband, we make love almost everywhere in d house. sometimes if am in d bathroom with soap on my face dh will grab my breast n be sucking with soap. he's like a consolation to d babies we r believing God for. Anytime i mention ttc, he'll tell me dat God has never disappointed him before. Thank God for him.

But my beloved sisters out there, learn to love urself, be courageous God will give us back our darling dhs and things will go back to how it used to be. baby dust to all my beautiful ladies. love u all!!!!
