For those trying to get the rest of my pre-eclampsia story, I decided to open a new thread. So you can follow it by clicking this link. https://www.nairaland.com/920090/pre-eclampsia-story#10654834

I'm a silent reader for years, just wanted to share.
We all have different challenges in this world and for those of you on this thread its TTC.

I was at a meeting with other christians and I was lead to pray for my cousins wife whos' been ttcing for about 20yrs and I prayed for those of you here too.I went there to speak to God about my own challenges though not ttc related, if you do not mind I would like to repeat what was declared there for all of you. 'Irrespective of what experts have said your womb will fulfill its purpose' in Jesus name.

How u dey today? Don't worry those ovaries must obey and pop out those anointed eggs... This morning I was feeling some shok shok in my ovaries, thinkn it might be O sign, But I don stop. My bbt still 36.4 today.

Seanbell
Don't mind him with his oZugbo ozugbo method, it worked for some of his patience but didn't work for me.he is really highly recommended, u wl collect no wHen u get there cos ttc women are plenty goin there. I don't really agree with some of his precriptions base on my online knwledge. Another gynea has bn recommended to me at ikeja,yet to see him. The said he works with one of govt hospitals and has his private clinic called FELLOWSHIP CLINIC - has anybody here heard abt this clinic?

Selsara
Amen to that prophesy!

@ Seanbell/babyblues ....no p....issorai

@ Salsera....tanks very much

@ Udoka...ohk...i think it takes some time to get used to your system....

@ Udoka i used the hospital too before i stopped. personal reasons sha. dont want to label the hospital,my sister did not let me rest until i subscribe to the clinic. because her customer recommend the gynecologist doc. he was the first one to diagnosed PCOS . which i agree with him. i stopped when he was still slowing down medication on an high cost. and other things i noticed. don't let me discourage you it might work for you.

Mrskem
Ooh that's great... Pls I want to discuss it, somebody is giving me headache to see d gynea there. Can we discuss it on yahoo msger now? Pls don't say no, want to hear ur experince

Mrskem
Thanks very much for ur time

Doctor in the house I need your advice. My wife and I have been trying to get pregnant since our marriage a little over one year to no avail. She had two miscarriages last year the first(pregnancy was about 3months old)in January and the second (about 2months)in August. The second miscarriage led to ectopic and one fallopian tube was removed via operation in September. We have seen a doctor who gave us some fertility drugs with good result as follicles were developed but we still can't achieve conception. Test done in the past showed some uterine fibroids. What shall we do to get pregnant? Could it be that I am responsible because I can't release more than once a day?

@udoka tnx, I have really been thinking of the HSG of recent, becos I noticed no missed period and cycle has been regular except for terrible PMS which is better now. The problem I have now is getting a good gynae. The one I had before is too slow, be cos I sincerly think that if he was proactive I wldn't have lost that pregnancy. Anyway I knw better nw, thank God for this forum. Please if anyone has a good gynae kindly recommend, someone tld be to try ST mary's specialist in Ikeja, am still trying to get other people's opinion. But I really thinking of OMNI, @Rocksqueen, do you know much about them. @tewai congrats. Happy 40wks.@all sending loads of babydust y'way

teewai ..congrats H&H 9 months oooo

salsera..thanks soo much and AMEN!!!

ebony .. get to it,whip out the candles and teach DH a lesson .once the temp surges for 3 days,na missed opportunity so use this one just incase

nolla where are you?has this parlodel flogged you so much that you can't come and say hi to ya member?

shiloh how far naa?

udoka paulina paulina howz ya temping going?

CD 6,Still no side effects,nothing special going on

Dear tundesto,i am sorry about what you and your wife are going through..I haven't heard anywhere that releasing once a day can cause her not to conceive.Follow up with your fertility specialists and just be consistent,if you are not comfortable,go for a second opinion.I pray something beautiful happens for you both.
There are just ordinary doctors on this thread and no fertility specialists so we can't really be of much help,sorry.

Good Morning Lovely Ladies & Gentle men. How was your weekend?
Cd 23 today, filled with hope that Good-days are near after the rain come sunshine... meditate on this word. this was my reading this morning and i believe God is working on our behalf. 1Samuel chapter 1-2. Our God change not What He says He will do, Will surely Manifest.:



A. Hannah’s prayer.


1. (1-2) Thanksgiving and praise.



And Hannah prayed and said:


“My heart rejoices in the Lord;

My horn is exalted in the Lord.

I smile at my enemies,

Because I rejoice in Your salvation.

No one is holy like the Lord,

For there is none besides You,

Nor is there any rock like our God.



a. 1 Samuel 1:28 ended, So they worshipped the Lord there. Here is the worship Hannah offered, and what she offered on the very day she left her little boy - her only child - at the tabernacle, never for him to live in her home again.



b. My heart rejoices in the Lord: Here, Hannah shows a depth of commitment and love for God that humbles us. On the day she makes the biggest sacrifice she will ever make in her life, she rejoices in the Lord!



i. Notice though, that she rejoices in the Lord. She does not, and she can not, rejoice in the leaving of her son. But she can, and she does, rejoice in the Lord. In the most desperate situations, when we have nothing else to rejoice in, we can rejoice in the Lord.



c. My horn is exalted in the Lord: The horn is an often used as a picture of strength in the Bible (Psalm 75:4-5; 92:10). This is because the strength of an ox or a steer could be expressed in its horn. Hannah is speaking of her strength and power being exalted in the Lord.



i. “We have often seen that horn signifies power, might, and dominion. It is this constantly used in the Bible, and was so used among the heathens.” (Clarke)



d. I smile at my enemies: Hannah has a strong sense of vindication over her rival, Elkanah’s other wife Peninnah. Peninnah had cruelly brought Hannah low (1 Samuel 1:6-7), but now Hannah can rejoice because the Lord has lifted her up.



e. There is none holy like the Lord: In this verse, Hannah shows a classic form of Hebrew poetry - a repetitive parallelism. To say the Lord is holy is to say He is completely set apart; that He is unique, and not like any other. So, when she continues in the same verse and says, “For there is none besides You,” she is saying the same thing as “There is none holy like the Lord,” only saying it in different words. When she says, “Nor is there any rock like our God,” she is again saying the same thing in different words.



i. In this, Hebrew poetry does not rhyme words by sound, as much as it rhymes ideas. The ideas of the three lines of 1 Samuel 2:2 all rhyme together, having different words yet “sounding” the same.



ii. Beyond the literary structure, the idea is emphasized: God is so great, there is no one - not one in all the universe - who compares with Him. It isn’t that He has the same power and wisdom and purity we have, just that He has more of it all. No, His power and wisdom and purity is of a different order than ours, beyond ours.



2. (3) A warning to the arrogant and proud.



“Talk no more so very proudly;

Let no arrogance come from your mouth,

For the Lord is the God of knowledge;

And by Him actions are weighed.”



a. Talk no more so very proudly: While Hannah certainly has her rival in mind, her “fellow-wife” Peninnah here. But in some way, she sees Peninnah as just a representative of all the proud and arrogant people in the world. Hannah wisely tells the proud to talk no more and to let no arrogance come from your mouth. Pride can be expressed in many ways, but it usually is expressed by our words. The proud would be much better off if they would just not talk so much!



b. For the Lord is the God of knowledge: This, of course, is the best reason to forsake our pride. Next to God, we all know nothing, and since we are all far from God, we are all far from all knowledge. He knows us, and by Him actions are weighed.



3. (4-8a) Hannah gives glory to the God who often humiliates the strong and exalts the weak.



“The bows of the mighty men are broken,

And those who stumbled are girded with strength.

Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread,

And the hungry have ceased to hunger.

Even the barren has borne seven,

And she who has many children has become feeble.

The Lord kills and makes alive;

He brings down to the grave and brings up.

The Lord makes poor and makes rich;

He brings low and lifts up.

He raises the poor from the dust

And lifts the beggar from the ash heap,

To set them among princes

And make them inherit the throne of glory.”



a. In her song, Hannah has warned against pride. Here, she gives more reasons why we should all be humble before the Lord (especially those like Peninnah, her rival!).



b. We should be humble before God because He knows how to humble the strong: the bows of the mighty men are broken . . . those who were full are now begging, and she who has many children has become feeble. If we are strong now, or exalted now, we should be humble, because the Lord can change our place quickly.



c. We should be humble before God because He knows how to exalt the weak. Those who stumbled are girded with strength . . . those who were hungry have ceased to hunger . . . even the barren has borne seven. If we are weak now, or in a low place, we should wait humbly before God and let Him lift us up.



i. In Luke 14:7-11, Jesus said when we have the opportunity to set ourselves high, we should take a low place instead. Then, when someone sets us in a higher place, it will be a pleasant experience. But if we put ourselves in a high place, someone may come and set us in a lower place, and then we will be embarrassed. Jesus concluded by saying, For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.



d. Hannah knew all this intimately in her life. She was barren because the Lord had closed her womb (1 Samuel 1:6). She knew The Lord makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and lifts up. God had first set her low, and then brought her high. She could see the hand of the Lord in it all.



4. (8b-10) Hannah’s confidence in the future is really confidence in the Lord.



“For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,

And He has set the world upon them.

He will guard the feet of His saints,

But the wicked shall be silent in darkness.

For by strength no man shall prevail.

The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces;

From heaven He will thunder against them.

The Lord will judge the ends of the earth.

He will give strength to His king,

And exalt the horn of His anointed.”



a. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s: Hannah is confident in God’s ability to humble the strong and exalt the weak because God is in control. If God were not in control, then perhaps the strong could do what they wanted and God couldn’t do anything about it. But Hannah knew that the foundation of the earth itself (the pillars of the earth) belonged to the Lord.



b. God uses His power to set things right: For by strength no man shall prevail. The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces. It isn’t enough for us to believe God has this power; we must know He will use it for His glory and righteousness.



c. He will give strength to His king, and exalt the horn of His anointed: At this time, Israel did not have a king, and seems to have not even wanted one. So when Hannah speaks of His king, she is looking ahead to the Messiah, who will finally set all wrongs right. He is His anointed.



i. This is the first place in the Bible where Jesus is referred to as the Messiah. “She first applied to him the remarkable epithet Messiah in Hebrew, Christ in Greek, and Anointed in English, which was adopted by David, Nathan, Ethan, Isaiah, Daniel, and the succeeding prophets of the Old Testament; and by the apostles and inspired writers of the New.” (Hales, cited in Clarke)



ii. Zecharias, the father of John the Baptist, quotes Hannah in Luke 1:69, when he prophetically calls Jesus a horn of salvation, quoting from 1 Samuel 2:10. Mary, the mother of Jesus, in her beautiful prayer found in Luke 1:46-55, seems to quote Hannah’s song often.



5. (11) Samuel ministers unto the Lord.



Then Elkanah went to his house at Ramah. But the child ministered to the Lord before Eli the priest.



a. Then Elkanah went: They did it. It was hard to do, to leave this little son behind, but they did it because they promised God that is what they would do.



b. But the child ministered to Lord before Eli the priest: Young as he was, Samuel could have a ministry to the Lord. Our young people can praise God and please God and worship Him, and it is often a breakthrough in their walk with God when they experience God in worship.



i. The Living Bible translates it well: And the child became the Lord’s helper. There are ways that even children can serve God and minister to Him

Ebony&Seanbell ozugbo ozugbo
l got a dip today from usual 36.4 to 36.2. i did the knackson, just that l spoilt the show with too much preseed jare..DH said he felt he was inside a drum..lol.. it actually spoiled the fun and we managed till the anoited gels were released.

From experience HSG is not too painful, if you can just calm down during the process. You will feel it when the garden of Edem is being opened up and when the dye is poured in. From experience take painkiller before u enter the theatre... my doctor prescribed Cataflam(Spelling sorry). i unfortunately didnt get it until the next day after the process, l think that was why l had pains.
