@udoka, does red raspberry really induce labour? I have been taking it though for my own problems and I read some women take it tro out the entire pregnancy and they have smooth, easy short labour. Some that are fear-fear like you take it from the start of 3rd trimester. May God give you an easy delivery. @udoka, does red raspberry really induce labour?

Udobaby i understand ur anxiety . My friend used EPO. U can Google EPO to induce labour

@mowafruitful
Thanks dear for your advice... l dey hold myself would have started something since last week. @Marygold testimony is keeping me, she wanted to try red raspberry but couldnt get, and God still brought her bundle of joy by 39wks. hmmm God help me out of this obsession o!

@Udoka...you are almost there. Just be careful and yes discuss whatever you want to do with your dr. Na my own experience make me dey fear. I almost lost a baby after TTC of 3yrs. I used castor oil and labour started but it was crazy. Thank God I was being monitored internally (vj) and externally (belt on my belly) and they realized my baby was distressed, na CS straight.

Good day @all, @honiepie thks 4 d good work.pls wat alternative therapy can I use for blocked fallopian tubes and also I read so much abt detox + acv, how do I go abt it.pls note dat am expecting Ovulation in d nxt 2 days.thk

Hi beautiful mamas,been MIA and can see plenty activities going on.
@Udoka, cool down small, let he who started this work finish it. Leave every every in the hands of Baba God. Discuss with ur Dr well before u take any action. i remember once when a Dr told me that the womb is the best evironment for the baby untill the 9 months period is over. cool down for Jesus,oh nwanyi oma.

@Honipie,our e-angel .So u are now talking in parables eh? This our God is too much o, me am here dancing in parables too! As our mamalawo don 'port" na im be say, we sef our time is here too. make i leave am like that for na.

@all am also doing the parsley /vit. c protocol after detox, eagerly awaiting my own BFP by faith, i ran out of fresh parsley leaves so i quickly ran to the shop to get it only to discover it had finished, Hei!! i looked left . looked right not even one packet remaining. i asked the shop attendant and they said they were hoping to get some by tomorrow "hope" ke? at this critical time in the middle of the treatment . the only option was to purchase dried packaged parsley leaves. Abeg my Sabi-Sabi mamas, is the dried one as good as the fresh leaves? pls i need answers bc this BFP i must get it o.

Thank you my good people. I promise not to take anything without my dr's knowlede. The last I brought the issue of natural way to induce labor, he said to hold on, we will discuss at d right time. I believe d right time shd be my next appt, so will bring it up. Thanks a lot, love u all for ur concerns.

Mamalawo @ Honiepie, sent u a mail, did u get it? Waiting for ur response. Need to discuss sth impt.
Udoka, I'm jealuxing u oh... mesef wld soon start asking which type of pampers and body cream is best for my twins..amen oh.
Jossy how did it go? Did u call them?


Hi all, how tmrw go be with our prayers? Ttc is weighing me down oh, God pls have mercy on us.

@Chimdalu, you are healed in Jesus name.

@Honiepie, congratulations and Healthy and Happy 9 months to you (in parables, lol)

@Udoka, abeg let LO still enjoy small before e go enter this world wey e don hear many things about from yonda!

.

@Bcolah
Amen sis. I will be d first to answer that ur question on Newborn baby thread. We shall all crossover to pg and newborn baby threads ijn

@ute
Lolllll no enjoyment past 38wks ooo. I don dey prepare quit notice already.

@honiepie
I can't imagine u and ur doctor's arguement. Sometimes u claim novice but of course raise alarm when he is doing d unecessary.


@all
My frnd started spotting ysterday nite. I pushed her to meet that I don't know doc to give her d progesterone shot. She took it ds morning, according to her no more spotting, I pray for a sticky bean till 9months.
Pls sometimes let's stand up and challenge these docs. I don't know why someones progesterone level will be just 9 at 5wks+ and a supposedly qualified doc will deny her d shot saying till 8wks.
We take touch light find every BFP on this board, so guide it jealously and do d needful as well as Pray when urs happens. I will advice we all check our progesterone level when we get our BFPs.

@Udoka: Thanks a lot for the info on your friend. It's very helpful for all of us.

@Siknsteel: No worry, our sabi sabi mamas go soon answer you, as for me, I can't mention any as I never had any success with them.

@Udoka: Thank God, you already preparing for labour, you'll deliver safely, smoothly without stress. Infact I wish you 1 minute in the labour ward, just 1 minute and your baby(ies) is out. Good to know, you'll be discussing the inducement with your doctor.

Abeg I need to know, if any doctor reject the progesterone shot issue, can we get the shot without prescription?

@Silk, easy dear no need to get upset. I think we tend to leave out questions we don't have answers to.

For your answer please check out the IVF/IUI threads for fertility doctors.

I hope you find what you are looking for.

Personally, I have seen Dr. Emeka Ikenna, nice doctor call him on 08032011536.

@silknsteel ....it depends on your budget as you know most health insurance do not cover infertility investigations and treatment

Dr emeka of olive branch smiler mentioned is very good and i paid about 120k for registration and hormonal tests..i dint have any treatment with him so dont know the cost of treatment

All the gyneos at premier specialist hospital are good as well.....and in terms of pricing it is at par with Georges...

Those are the two hospitals i personally have experience with..

.others i have heard of on this forum include:

Omni
Smith specialist
Reddington
St ives

So you can google them...get the address and go visit physically

@ udoka i agree...before i go to any dr's appointment with my symptoms or whatever i do my research well so i can ask the relevant questions.....one needs to insist on some stuff. If i was your friend i'd'v bought my pessaries jejely...its hard to get a bfp and it will be a very bitter pill to swallow a mc due to something preventable and within one's contol.

It is well

Udopauly, God 'll order ur steps @d right time IJN. Tanx for d progesterone info. Me all I do now is to copy n paste if I see any useful info from d thread. @silknsteel no be like that siSter, I think our sabi sabi mamas are busy somehow. You can check on JONAS opposite synagogue church hope you know past T.B Joshua @ ikotun. Gd luck dear. @all have a blessed nite rest

@iya-beji...a dr friend of mine told me to buy DUPHASTON (progesterone tablet) when I started spotting at about 6weeks.

Honiepie24: hi peepz,
hope everyone is bubbling,sowie i ve not bn able to respond to ur mails since yesterday,was flying almost all day,we are currently in japan for a short stay.
For the orobo stuff,make una no blame me jare,wit ma condition dis my oga no dey gree me do anyfin,so tee na to de follow am travel on official stuffs,sit don chop na my name,luckily no break outs yet.
Oh darlyn udoka,am happy your friend got her af following my protocol,infact this week alone na so so azonto i dey dance,4 pregnancies following ma protocols,na only God get all d praise.its him i owe all grace.yes ooo,d next is her bfp.this is the route to follow:-haba low ba3

Congrats ahead of the announcement and pls enjoy ur vacay. May God continually be with u.

@all, guess we re all doing great.

udo baby, pineapple aids labour o cos of the active ingredient in it; bromptocine (not sure of the spelling). Besides progesterone as well as hcg should be the first test a doctor should be doing for pregnancy. 9 is very low at 5 wks+, your friend needs to be on Gestone 100mg both morning and evening if she doesn't wantto miscarry. it's very important. was she on cyclogest?

@Beetle
she is not taking anything oo, l just dey talk as if na my problem, if not for the spotting she wont have stood up to the doc to give her the shot. l even offered her my leftover cyclogest but she was relunctant..so didnt want to push it because should anything happens since he is not very literate on ttc matters she may blame me. l kuku dey mind my business small small, but gave a force when the spotting started.

@iya ibeji
Thanks for your good wishes. As already answered... you can take passaries e.g cyclogest without going for a shot. l dont expect a good doc to say no when its apparently necessary.

@silkn
no vex. Hospitals have been mentioned it all depends on your pocket. Though l use reddington on HMO, but when l did some real fertility runs.. l was introduced to one consultant gynea for Island maternity and Ayinke general hosp ikeja. He has a private consulting outfit at 15 little street, sabo yaba.. Dr Umeh. He is good and pocket friendly. you registered with N1,000, but pay N500 everyday you go to see him...learnt is now N1,000 everyday u see him. He takes you step by step, you run and pay for all ur tests and drugs. Most times he recommends Union Diagnostic centre yaba for the tests. I didnt get BFP with him but never regretted using him. Make sure you go with your DH because he will ask you to bring him if you decide for him.

Another gynea is Dr. Ohanyi of Yaba Military Hospital. Also has a private hospital...a friend that used him said, his consultancy fee is N25,000 then you pay for your drugs and test. I never used him but two of my friends used him, one cannot do without him. Learnt he loves money shaa.

Hello ladies. Hope we are okay. I feel bad now seeing all this juicy info on progesterone supplement to prevent miscarriage. It makes me feel I would have preventd d miscarriage if I had dis knowledge but nothing spoil sha. Now I am better informed and love dis thread so much. Today is 31st, Prayer mood activated.

Isaiah 58:5-12
Do you think this is the kind of fast day I’m after:
a day to show off humility?
To put on a pious long face
and parade around solemnly in black?
Do you call that fasting,
a fast day that I, God, would like?

6-9 “This is the kind of fast day I’m after:
to break the chains of injustice,
get rid of exploitation in the workplace,
free the oppressed,
cancel debts.
What I’m interested in seeing you do is:
sharing your food with the hungry,
inviting the homeless poor into your homes,
putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad,
being available to your own families.
Do this and the lights will turn on,
and your lives will turn around at once.
Your righteousness will pave your way.
The God of glory will secure your passage.
Then when you pray, God will answer.
You’ll call out for help and I’ll say, ‘Here I am.’

9-12 “If you get rid of unfair practices,
quit blaming victims,
quit gossiping about other people’s sins,
If you are generous with the hungry
and start giving yourselves to the down-and-out,
Your lives will begin to glow in the darkness,
your shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight.
I will always show you where to go.
I’ll give you a full life in the emptiest of places—
firm muscles, strong bones.
You’ll be like a well-watered garden,
a gurgling spring that never runs dry.
You’ll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew,
rebuild the foundations from out of your past.
You’ll be known as those who can fix anything,
restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate,
make the community livable again

I wanted this to be as easy to understand as possible so I used the MSG version. In this day of our fast, let us consider ourselves and again and receive a renewal of our heart and return to God. For the bible says, when we do the fast that God likes, when we pray, He will hear us and we will be like a well-watered garden (abounding fruitfulness) and a spring that never runs dry, we will receive strength in our bodies and enjoy a full life and we will have wisdom to direct us in all situations. Amen.

Goodmorning beautiful mothers and Papas! Today is prayer day! I'll like to request that we agree wiv our dear sis Udoka in faith. D bible says decree a tin and it shall come to pass! If she desires to bring forth her LO at 38wks! So be it! Let's decree togeda as one family and watch God act. Is 66:9. He is more than able!

@Iya- Ejima,
I think while considering her desire, we should agree that @Udopauly mama baby will bring forth at the right time that favours both her and the baby as God has ordained. There is a baby involved now so I think we need to be sure we factor what is best for the baby health as well, don't you think? That is my honest opinion. So if it falls on 38 weeks, a day before or after, all well and good.

Well at 37 weeks a baby is more or less full term

Pregnancy is 40 wks plus or minus 2 wks so 38 wks to 42 wks is fine

But the will of God must be done

@Alwaystrue, I agree with u. I shoulda added dt line, if her desire of birthing @38wks is his will, let it be done.

Udoka, as you said, na torchlight we use find bfp here. My people say 'something wey remain 1 don finish'. Ask God for His will to be done, biko. If He wills 38 weeks, beautiful, if He still wills 40 weeks, wonderful! Don't be tempted to induce yourself...enjoy the remaining time.

Kaynee, pls don't beat yourself up. The worst thing you can do to yourself is wonder 'what if?'. Just arm yourself with the necessary info for the bfp you will soon announce. Progesterone is not the be all and end all of a healthy pregnancy, sometimes it's our immune systems fighting. Thanks Beetle!

@Favoured gal, me and you both, If I have headache, I go to earthclinic.com, diarrhea-internet, when I had a kidney infection- I diagnosed myself on google before going to the hospital. @Udoka, please let your friend do the relevant research, don't offer her the medicine o, just ask her to scour the net and read other peoples' experiences.

Hi all,
I'm new here. I like all the posts I've read here so far so good. Unfortunately, none meets with my needs. I've been ttcing for less than a year ( too short right?) But unfortunately like 3 months ago, we tested and found out we had Male fertility issues, azoospermia to be precise. Most likely NOA. It was quite devastating and I tink I've shed all the tears in my eyes.
I'm thinking of creating a thread specifically for those of us in dt group. Contributions from. Everyone wld be appreciated.
Plenty of baby dusts to us all. It is well.

@uddy abeg allow lo enjoy a lil more comfort,let God say its time,theres no better clock and timming than God's,do you know why?because he has made all arrangements set out and prepared 4 that time,theres an ibo addage that say onye gbakaria chi ya n'oso,ogbagbuo onwe ya n'oso,the translation means if you decide to run faster than ur God,it means u will run for the rest of ur life.so pls pipe low and allow nature wit d help of God decide the best time,inu?

@unspeakable the supp 4 blocked tube is serrepaptase 80,000 iu to be taken an hour b4 meal,twice dail,propolis and 4 peepz wit hydrosalpinx fuyan pill,serrepaptase really works but gettin it is an issue,so if u can,i trust it will help.

@dimusky darlyn sugarpie,parsley is best fresh ooo,its easily found joor,check local salad stores,let me tell u hw to recorgnise the best parsley,when you brew it in hot water,it should be light green not yellowish,if its yellowish then its not just parsley.so fresh one is best.

@uddy am wonderin d reason she's taking acv + bsm,does she hv cyst,fibroid etc?

@tara you have our support,the lord is ur strenght.

Hows everyone?
