He has not. My gp suggested that I get him tested as well but I do not know how to bring up the subject with him especially since I was the one that had a surgey. This all eats me up and I am dying in silence cause there is no one to talk to. I try not to get my family involved so that they don't bombard me with questions. The last time I brought up the issue of my not conceiving with him he was like why are you so worried, its just been 3 months. I feel so much better after pouring out my heart in this forum cause its like a burden has been lifted from my soul. Only a woman that has gone through this knows how it fells to see AF after a month of baby dancing. Why did I have to lose an ovary I have never been promiscous in my entire life what sins have I committed to be punished like this. I have a wonderful fiance and an equally wonderful mother in law. My younger brother's wife knows about my plight she is pregnant presently, and she has been doing things to crank me up to the extent of going to facebook to post insults that will make me talk to her so that she can call me names to mock my plight. I give myself to God. I will stop here cause I am crying my eyes out

Hi for the last 3 years I have been having very painful periods late last year I was diagnosed as having a complex mass on my left ovary and a surgery was performed to remove the ovary. I am in a committed relationship with my fiancé at the moment I love him so much cos unlike some men he stood by me through the surgery my future mother Inlaw was equally supportive. After the surgery I was told to conceive a baby immediately cos of my age (32) and the fact that the mass can likely affect my right ovary. We started TTC in march and till now nothing I know it looks short but believe me it's frustrating I went to the GP last week and she told me to keep trying for two years before I can label it as a problem. We hope to go back to naija in jan for our traditional wedding I really hope to be pregnant by then. Btw I have been taking folic acid since march the good thing is my fiancé is not fussy about it but when he took me to meet his family last year they asked why he brought me home before I was preg. Infact I am confused I am thinking of taking clomid to boost my ovulation. Presently I have 28 - 31 day regular period circles

the screen writers reply to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Posted by Guy Hibbert on Apr 05 2010

As the screenwriter of Blood And Oil I have read Chimamanda's comments with great interest. I am a huge admirer of her writing. I am also grateful to read all the subsequent comments from your readers. A few backgrond details that may interest you: We were not allowed to film in Nigeria and, indeed, David, the director, for insurance and security reasons, was not even allowed to visit Port Harcourt in 2009 when we travelled to Nigeria prior to filming in South Africa. This was very frustrating, for him as well as me. We wanted to use Nigerian (or British-Nigerian) actors in all the Nigerian roles but we were not allowed to financially: the cost of travel and accommodation in S Africa was too much and the budget was too tight to afford it. Neither could we use all British actors to play the British characters for the same reason: some of these were also white South African actors. We made an exception for Sam Dede. I met Sam when I travelled to the Delta in 2006 and I was very keen to have him involved; he's a great guy and a wonderful actor. Yes, Chimamanda is right, the men cuddling girls in the hotel is a silly scene. I totally agree with her. I wish it wasn't there and I cringe every time I see it. I am very distressed about the bad accents: all I can do is apologize for it. Chimamanda is again right on this, it's 'lazy' production values and there is no excuse for that. It should have been addressed prior to production. I am certainly going to find out why this happened and try to make sure that, certainly within the BBC, a mistake like this does not happen again. However, I humbly thank you for your interest. I worked long and hard on the authenticity of the storytelling. 2.3 million saw the programme in Britain and so there are now about 2 million more people who know - and I hope care - about the situation in the Niger Delta than there were two weeks ago, before the drama was shown.
