Thank you so much for your reply pikinmama! My mind just relaxed as i saw your post because i must admit that i had my doubts! You're right. I always go to the doctor with loads of jotted down questions and he always answers them! You dont know what this post has done for me....all i can say is thank you! I know its God that gives children...but it'll be helpful to have a doctor who knows what hes doing! Thank you so much. Now i really feel like asking you a million questions! But i just found your eversmile posts and i plan to read every word! Thank you so so much.

.

God blesss u real gud pikinmama.u don't knw how relieved I am reading ur post. Kudos to all those dat av gotten positive results. I am startin my ivf procedure nxt month at st ives. Av met their med director severally and I can attest to the fact dat he his such a nice man.It is well

believer84: Hi ladies,
Don't even knw how to start or express my gratituide to God 4 dese wondaful miracle and priviledge.
Had my ist IUI end of last month.Was so scared of the long wait(2ww) and finally summoned enuf courage 2 test on sunday exactly 14 days afta,and it was positive.Son shocked that I kept on testing everyday up until wednesday also did a blood test.Same
thing.
I just still in shock.Will be going for a scan nxt week to check that all's well.Doc says the chances of multiple is high,since I produced quite a number of follicles. Funny thing is,I feel so normal save for cramps and sore nipples

God is def still in d bizness of miracles.Pls dnt give up

please can u share with us the procedure your doctor used. I did my first IUI last month but unfortunately I didn't get a positive result. I just did the second one two days ago and I pray it will work this time around. I don't know whether total bed rest have any effect on the success rate. What did u do before and after the procedure. My doctor said I should continue with my daily activities that it doesn't have any effect on it. I need all the advise I can get in other to get a positive result this time.

Hi OKZ8 i was stimulated with clomid at first but didn't respond 2 well so d doc added some injections(can't rem d name nw) and I responded in a jiffy.I had back to back insemination that's 2wice.day one of iui and 18 hours later,nothing more. I was/currently insertin cyclogest suppositories twice daily.
I only rested on the second day of the IUI therefater I just continued my daily activities.Work/School.
I will be honest with you my sister,I did nothing special or extra.I prayed yet had doubts in mind but God pleasantly surprised me.
B4 d bfp, felt occasional cramps in my ovaries and vagina then saw the implantation bleeding on day 12. At first,I thought twas my period,but I was reassured it wasn't after it stopped.Very light,lasted 5mins.
At the end of the day,we try our best and leave the rest to God.Try developing positive thoughts and consistent prayers.

Have u done HSG, transviginal scan et al?

Thank u my sister. I did transviginal scan followed by HSG before my first IUI. The doctor said maybe it did not work because I was still bleeding due to the HSG on the day of my insemination. I did another transviginal scan on the day 10 of my cycle and the 3 largest follicles measured 20mm, 18mm and 15mm. I was then given HCG injection and did the insemination after 27hrs. I pray it work out for me this time around. Please what do u mean by back to back insemination?

@okz8 back 2 back insemination means double insemination of sperm hours or a day apart just to be double sure that ovulation is well timed and well utilized.it increases the chances of the.sperm meeting the egg and the likelihood of pregnancy occuring.
Remain positve and remember that with God all things are possible!

It's okay thanks. He did only one insemination and asked me to meet with my husband the second day in other to cover the cycle. This 2 weeks seems like eternity to me, I can't just keep my mind off it. My office wears are somehow tight on the waist, please do u know whether it's bad for me. Though I feel comfortable in them but i don't know whether I need to make my waist line free.

@okz8 am sure all will be well. just relax. wishing u all the best.@ blendy, have u alws had a blast transfer or day 3?

@okz8 am sure all will be well. just relax. wishing u all the best.@ blendy, have u alws had a blast transfer or day 3?hw r u cming along? hello evry one, babydust!

I have always had a day 2 transfer not even day 3 because most of our ivf clinics here in Naija do not have the blast machine/incubator except Bridge. So had only blast transfered when I had my ivf done in Bridge early this year. But even with the blast I still didnt get pregnant so my Dear, its God that gives. How how you doing? Have you started your procedure yet? I wish you all the best, success is your portion IJN amen.

@blendy, thank you so much. i had a day 3 the last time. will be starting by nxt mnth hopefully when af arrives. thanks for the luck, though am a little apprehensive but i guess its just nerves and its quite normal.

Relax and hand everything over to God. Don't see it as a do or die affair. Just do your best and leave the rest to God. Am sure they did a day 3 transfer for you because you don't have enough embryos and they didnt want to risk incubating them for 5 days for fear of risking all hence the day 3 transfer with Bridge. I don't know if you have polycystic ovaries, if yes, discuss adding metformin to your protocol with your Dr. Infact Send me an email lets talk. Can't write out all the expos here cos it will be seen as drug prescription. Success my Dear.

CONGTRATS TO ALL WHO WENT THROUGH THE RIGOROUS WAY TO ACHEIVED THIS. MAY THE LORD CONTINUE TO HELP US AND SUPPORT US IN ALL OUR ENDEVOUR AMEN. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HIGHLIGHT US ON ALL THE PROCESSES TO UNDERGONE BEFORE TRANFERING EGGS. IS IT UP TO 1YR ACCORDING TO MY DOCTOR? I HAVE DONE THE FIRST TEST INCLUDING HIV WILL BE DOING TRANSVARGINAL RADIOGRAPHY ON 19 OF OCT WHILE HUBBY WILL DO HIS SPERM FLUID EXAM COME 27 THIS MONTH. SO FAR SO GOOD THE ONES WE HAVE DONE IS ALL OK. I JUST PRAY THAT ALL WILL GO WELL SO THAT I WONT BE EXPECTING TOO LONG BEFORE TRANSFERING.

Different clinics have different proceduce. I wonder why yours is taking so long cos all the processes you mentioned can be achieved in one day except hormonal tests like fsh and ovarian reserve test (cant remember the name now) which works with AF. Your hubby's fluid can also be tested while you are doing yours so I honestly wonder why the long protocol of testing all these things on different days. Your Doc is probably taking his time.
Anyway, the next thing that should follow the test is the busserelin injection which is taken 21days after your last AF, there after you will proceed to the fsh injections after your AF arrives for about 10-12 days, depending on your response rate, collection is done after the lead follicle has reached 20-22mm, fertilization with your hubby's fluid, cultured for 2-5days then transfer.
I hope this helps cos everything I just said here has been mentioned on this forum before so maybe you should read through again to also learn from other people's procedure.

@blendy, thank u so much. dnt knw y d messages i sent to u is bouncing back. in my previous cycle i actually had many embryos but their branch in d north dint have d blast incubator neither did dey ve cypropreservation. i had 24eggs retrieved and 18mature. i hyperstimulated though i dint use metformin dat cycle.

@BLENDY77,
Thanks for your explaination, like i said before i had done series of tests in different hospitals before arriving in conclusion of fertility . This came as a result of fibroid in my uterus and2 gynacologist advised us to undergone surgering which i may not be likely pregnant if done while the third told us to go for ivf since i have 80% possibility of getting pregnant that is why we concluded of getting ivf done so that during delivery the fibroid can be removed as well. Meanwhile the hospital is a govermnet hospital were you have to book for appoitment before anything and we were told that there so many awaiting patients before us. I just believe God that all things be equal come 2013 i will sing a new song . Amen

@Blendy77, How was your 20weeks scan,i hope it went well. Do you mind if you share the sex of your babies?
@Believer84, I am glad your ultrasound scan went well,i am sending you loads of sticky vibes.
@All that is still in God's waiting room,he will surely answer your prayers soon.

Champs, you caught me red handed, been avoiding that se.x part seriously. It didn't work out as prayed but I thank God sincerely for giving what I saw on scan. I don't want to be ungrateful but I'll be if I complain after waiting for 6yrs. So don't worry, january is around the corner, will announce the sex when they pop out (Lol). The sad thing is that I bought 2boxes full of clothes of the sex I believed God will give me but He has shown me yesterday that He is still in CHARGE so my sisters, I can't complain but rather thanK Him for dashing me what I saw. I only have to do my shopping all over again, buying thgs online today since I can't travel this year again but who am I to complain after 6 IVF and 6yrs of marriage and am almost crossing my mid thirties. Abeg make Una help thank BABA GOD!

OviaSouth, I can understand why they did day 3 transfer for u, its probably a small center unlike their Lag center. But they should have found a way of preserving it for u instead of making you go through the stress of stimming again. I ernestly pray this one works out for u o. Pls add pregnacare conception and the metformin I told u about. They don't give in Bridge but your Doc might agree if u discuss it with him. It improves egg quality and reduces OHss to a large extend. There's also this multivitamin they gave my hubby in Georges, selenium (not sure of the spelling) to also improve fluid quality then finally doxycycline for both of us befor the procedure. Bridge doesn't give all that cos they don't believe in it that is why u need to discuss wt ur Doc.

Negozi, I understand clearly why the different days. I wish both of you and MrsM a successful procedure. Pls Negozi can you share the name of the govt hospital and their price just to encourage those considering ivf but can't afford these expensive private clinics.
Baby dusts and God's blessing to all of you. I sincerely pray all of you will conceive before this year run out so all our babies will arrive in 2013 and we will all look back at 2012 and smile that yes, God did it.

Na wa MOD what offence av I commited that u're banning me? All the multivitamins I mentioned, I said she should discuss with her Dr so why are you banning me na? Ok, pls edit my post and remove the drug if that is my offence o! Lol, no vex.

You guys should help me beg Oga or Madam Mod to unban Blendy77 for drug naming offences. Lol!!!

@believer....our God is truly great!
I am so happy for u(really,am doing the happy dance!!).......God will keep u and the babies.its a wonderful feeling and I pray everyone here will experience it


@olikili.......ur own is triple happy dance o,singing agidigba God(even though am Yoruba),am soooooo happy for u.


I have been silent cos have been in and out of hospitals .....the devil tried to rear its ugly head but our God is sure,started to have fever,was admitted,then it moved to diarrhea and just as we were discharged and I had barely stayed 72hrs home,started spotting.hian!!
Imagine the scare,was taken to one silly hospital where I rejected to be admitted cos they didn't have light in their private rooms and the nurse had the audacity to tell me to use thetv light or she would bing a rechargeable lamp
I was furious cos the idiot wanted to put me on drip o(would have love to write their name now but I dnt want this my long letter to be hidden)when I post this,I'll do another post with just their name.i went back home,rolled on the floor and prayed with annoiting oil,went to another hospital the next morning and was admitted for 4days.IT IS WELL

Most importantly,we are fine ,hubby is home now(he wasn't around during all that).have a lot of rules to follow but I know it is well.we shall not cast our young ones before its time.


To everyone just stimming,believe it will be fine,first time miracles do happen like it did for me but if it wasn't the case,I wouldn't have stopped trying to have MY BABY.you feel good when you show love to a child,but am sure it will feel better when it's ur child.the way I felt when I saw that scan and saw my baby fine and playing after the scare of spotting,nothing can replace that feeling for me.so yes,adoption is good but never lose hope that you can have your own,never agree that u aren't meant to have children(otherwise you would have been the man!)

Believe what you want is possible for you,believe God can do it through whatever treatment you are using and if you want to,adopt a beautiful child and show her love not because you can't have yours but because you want to
Greetings to everyone in the house,blendy(mama ejima alias my in law,)omogemi,Abiby,champs,bacacious,Oviasouth and all too many to mention.love u all

Baby dust to you all

Name of hospital that wanted me to stay in a room with no light and use tv light to see and use the bathroom or rechargeable lamp is st. Catherine's ph.
They took me to another room in the pediatrics ward that had light but the bathroom was a mess and the curtains looked that those of a burial parlour,plus the noise from the children and Mosquitos were too much for me to handle.

Some of my friends have nothing but praise for them but this is my personal experience with them and I wrote that in my file when then asked me to write that I insisted on being discharged against medical advice.

I do hope their management sees this and investigates and do something about it,cause I hear a lot of their doctors are good eg dr okoye but I wasn't fortunate to meet him and this is my experience.
WHO CAN BLAME ME FOR RUNNING?

Thanks for unbanning me, lol.

@Topal na God go save person o,thank God 4 his mercies which ever sure.Its well with you ijn.@Blendy,just like u said wat matters most is a healthy mother and baby.
