My son just turned 2 seems just like yesterday I came here to write due to my frustration ,172 threads that is a lot don't think I can ever catch up !!
Officially I have started trying for number 2 I pray God makes this road easier for me . As much as I want to start trying I have not even written down my last MC this stupid fear always creeps in saying you not ready yet! Will start my updates soon to silence that ugly thought in my head.
I want to say thank you to all the ladies who come In everyday and encourage one another and answer questions and welcome people in . It might seem easy but it is not, trying to make sure no one feels left behind as this is such a sensitive topic that people are often left standing alone in a corner asking and looking for some sort of support and guidance that it is so important to answer everyone and give support when you can.

I pray God shows favor to everyone who is here. Happy Christmas in advance ladies and Gods blessings on you and your family during this festive period.

Good day please I have issues most of you can help me with. I have bought about 8 cars this year and sent to Nigeria so far so good. I want to know more about buying and sending to Nigeria. What are the things to avoid and what is the best practice in all aspects of this car trade Buying them in the USA.I know this is like me asking for someone to give up there trade secret but I j need guidance PLEASE !!! As a woman I find that when buying they always try and mark up prices no no just reason. I use cars.com and cargurus.
For now I buy from dealers who have already bought these cars from an auction there fore they are already expensive. For now this is not an issue for me as my customers who have bought wanted to pick the exact car they wanted. But going forward as I plan to invest my own money buying directly from a dealer would not work for me.
Can I get an auction license my self? There are just so many things I don't know so any bone you guys can throw my way will be greatly appreciated. I live in Maryland so the closest places to me I go to is Virginia.
Please I await your responses or you can send me an email at ttcnairaland@yahoo.com thank you in advance.

4.41am not slept eyes wide open catching up on this thread, Some of you women need to be in nights of a thousand laughs.
My God my lord today I use the son you gave to be as a point of contact for all these women who are here believing and calling your name,as I see the pain in the under lay of there words. Do not forsake them hear them oh lord.

I totally understand and respect everyone's privacy.As I said it was just a lazy Sunday afternoon and my brain was over thinking.
I think majority will win the vote on this one will wait and see .

Hello ladies how are you all doing this fine Sunday? Since I have not been here for a while let me ask does this thread have a closed group on Facebook?
If not I was just thinking do you ladies think we should have a closed group on Facebook ? Just to know each other or do you prefer the anonymity of Nairaland. If we had one you would have to be someone who has posted here for sometime. Will make sure it is private as possible because this is a sensitive subject and I know not everyone wants to share there very deepest worries/ struggles with the world. ( in pictures and all)you could lock your privacy settings as you want so the group just sees what you want us to see.
Just one of my crazy thoughts this Sunday tell me what you all think.
Have a blessed week ahead.

Mama triplets you are so funny no be small mama dede . I can never forget this thread the truth is I come by and see what is going on don't say anything. I see the support here is alive and well and I just don't want to be the only one spear heading it.
My son will be 2 in December lord is it me saying this ?? You are indeed wonderful. In some months I will be trying for number two ( i know what a selfish thing to say when i know people are just looking for one please pardon me)and I can tell you all that I am scared I reject the spirit of fear but having gone down this road before that nagging doubt comes up once in a while I am only human. So when I do start I will be right here saying my story.
Everyday I pray for this thread that God will wipe away all tears and you all will hold your babies and experience the joy I feel now and even more. Will try and be contributing now staying away I know is bad of me. Stay blessed ladies.

Thank you Jesus that this thread did not die. It gave me strength when I had none and the wonderful people I meet here gave me the support I needed when i thought i could not go on.I pray that every woman who comes here to share her pain will also come her to share her joy. Stay blessed wonderful ladies your babies may be delayed but can never be denied as God is on the throne and with him all things are possible.

Some of the comments on here are really sad. I work and my husband works as well. We have a baby boy who is going to be two soon. I struggled for 5 years to have a child, I was 100 percent sure it was my husband and he went to get tested and he was ok ,Only to find out it was I having the issues.
I met my husband in a wheelchair, he was assaulted when he was 18years old and next week will make it 25 years he has been in a chair. someone broke his spine,he will never walk again unless God says so,has limited mobility of his hands as well.
We will be celebrating our 8 year anniversary next year and that is the man for me.Are things different absolutely,sometimes difficult yes but this is my path and journey I choose it and I have no regrets.Not everyone can marry someone disabled and that is ok .Everyone thinks of the bedroom affairs ,people looking at them ,what people will say forgetting they are not dead they just dont walk .
I was in my twenties when I got married I was not the hottest thing since slice bread but I had other options if I had said no to him .it was not out of desperation or I needed to relocate or I wanted money( him no get sef sorry babe if you read this part f) I loved him and I was ready to take the plung.what made me confident was my father when I told him he said hey you this girl only you will try something like this, he said do you love him?He said if you marry him out of pity you will hate your life if you really love him you will overcome anything that comes your way.
So with that alone from my dad I am solid and I don't care what anyone thinks or says.
I am no saint I say it as it is when I need too,so you don't need be anything extra to love someone in a wheelchair it is just what you chose.

Some of you forget we are all challenged in different ways in our lives, he is far from rich .what if you met the love of your life walking and something happened will you dump him/her?
If God forbid I leave my husband it is not for the fact he is disabled it is because he pissed me off somehow!!

Thank you all of you who replied. I never knew Italian embassy was that messed up. I just believed whatever rubbish they write on there website.
3 months to get a visa is just crazy.
I leave in some days, I guess my family member might not be joing me which is sad. I have called the vsf they say call again tommorow I have sent emails no reply .
I just don't know what else to do at this point.

Please i beg this is my second post can someone who has dealt with the Italian embassy recently please tell me how long it takes to get a visa they say 25days to 40 days max is this true ? A family member applied today is day 31 no update nothing .
is there anyway to find out pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Hello,
please i know this is not answering your own question, but i need some information about the italian visa process.i posted something about the italian embassy about 2 weeks ago but got no response so i am hoping someone here can help.
A family member applied for a visiting italian visa on the 29th of May still we have not heard anything and we check the site eveyday still no update . Do you know if they exceed there 40 days maximum time limit? becuase as at today it is about 31 days . I just want to know how long this might take and if there was anyway to check on the status of this visa.

Please can someone tell me how long it takes to get an Italian tourist visa? I read it and it says 25 to 40 days for first timers do they keep to this guideline?
I heard they never reply if you write them and in most cases they will send a denial after your intended date of travel.
All this is hearsay I am just wondering if anyone has dealt with them of recent and does the track your application on there website really work?
Thank you!

Hello, please i am looking for some information from anyone who lives in Italy, Rome to be excact . Can you tell me any good location where i can buy Gold earrings ,necklaces etc and clothes? I am looking for good quality clothes without breaking the bank.
Thank you.

Thank God this thread is still going strong , Baby Dust to all!!!

Thank you Payless i really appreciate it.

Hello all,
Please I need help finding a good shipping agent in Maryland USA . I am new to buying of cars to send to Nigeria. I have used the same shipping agent( Nigerian) 3 times and each time there is always some sort of long delay is this normal?
I go with RORO and was informed it is not really straight forward as it is only when there is a ship avaialble/space that it will get loaded.
I pay $985 is this the range?I wait for almost 5 weeks before the car is shipped then I have to hound them with phone calls before they can tell me if the car has left.
Please someone tell me if this is the process so I stop disturbing them and just wait it out, or I should start looking for a new agent.If you have any agent that you have used and that is relaible i would love to know as well.
Thank you.

(just feel so guilty don't know why) I hope and pray everyone who comes here finds some sort of energy and encouragement that will give them that extra push they need to believe and trust in God that no matter how bleak it may look now that they will hold a baby in there hands some how  sometime soon.

SHOUT OUT TO MOGBOMOYA THANK GOD FOR HIS MERCIES IT IS WELL I WISH YOU A HAPPY AND HEALTHY  40 WEEKS.

Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,
Yes it has been quiet here for a while, i am guilty as charged so let me not say much about that.
Working full time with motherhood is not easy but who am i to complain. I am the first to get up at 5.30am last to go to bed 11pm so even going on line to read blog's or threads is out of the question and is now a luxury .
How is everyone doing? Has anyone heard from my peace?The General comes in here so i am not worried. I guess people just want to stay away until they have good news to share and don't want to keep updating the same thing .
I do understand that and i think of all of you everytime. My son is going to be One very soon, i still can not believe it when i look at him after the long wait.
For a one year old he has only two teeth i heard some have 10 or more and he is not walking yet on his own, just lazy like his daddy at his age i was already playing ball .
i am just grateful and thankful for everything even if he has only 2 teeth at 4 years old I am still thankful. You all please take care and update us when you can.

I am so missing in Actionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Congratulations Stages na wah you no waste time for second one sharp sharp
@ Sammiejo CONGRATULATIONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS may God guide and bless your son and family.
@ Elizapat have you and your wife gone to see a fertility Doctor? You have to take that step to make sure all is medically ok.
Have no clue what EDA is
@ GenB I laughed so hard at the age situation, don't worry God is in control .
Thank you to all the people who come in here and still keep this thread going.
I wish I could still come here everyday and check what is going on, but between work and my little man I need toothpicks to keep my eyes open after work!!

Hello pslm23,
How are you doing? First Off I want to say I am really sorry that the first attempt did not go well,but This journey will be a short one for you in Jesus name.You will have a baby in your arms soon just hold unto God and take your meds and try and relax as much as you can.
I feel sort of guilty that i am just reading this now have no clue why but I Just do .
I know how hard IVF can be on the body, I never did it but I almost did and went through 6 IUI'S ,2 miscarriages before having my son now.
I will most definitely(as my brain permitts) come in here and see how you are doing, I am cheering you on here in Maryland and praying for you everystep of the way.
On the positive side insurance is paying for this Sprinkling baby dust your way.

Hello everyone,
How are you all doing? I hope good I am always MIA but I am happy that people are still coming in and supporting each other.
My son is going to be 10 months soon wooh I can not believe it, If God can do it for me he will surely do it for you because my own been get double K leg.
With all my own miscarriages, my husband is disabled as well (in a wheelchair was assaulted when he was 18 ) some of my friends and one family member thought i was crazy getting married to him and said he must be very rich which he is not or i was desperate (that is another days gist)so what seemed impossible to the world God made possible and put them to shame .So tell me why will you will lose faith Hold on to what you believe I am a living testament to what God can do.i fought this infertility it with every thing i had reading up seeking opinions upon opinions and kept on believing. so I know things can happen.
I know for some other people it is much more difficult but I know some how you will hold your children . M y sincere prayers and wishes are with you love you all.

@Blank if she wants to cry let her cry ohh. just let her know you are by her side,just call her and listen that is all you have to do. Right now telling her there is a reason for it might not get to her.
In my case I did not want to talk to anyone,closed down my facebook and did some other stuff just to punish my self and live in isolation.
But my family was there for me and i tried again and again until i had my sugar plum now.
Just be there for her she will carry her own child.

OKI WANTED TO POST COMMENTS ON HERE BUT I SAW MOGBOMOYA YOU ALREADY SHARED YOUR EXPERIENCE HERE GOOD.
I know we women get desperate for a child but we should exercise caution at all times , I just had a gut feeling that this guy was funky and viola he is and if you are not a FRAUD DR HASSTRUP PROVE IT AND I WILL EAT MY WORDS.

@Mogbomoya MY GOD! I know you want everything to be ok with you and have a baby but why such high risk. I am in total disbelief that you would risk your life and health with someone you met on line calming to be a doctor why why why!
I understand what you must have been feeling before you made this decision to go and see him,but once the alarm bells went off you should have left immediately . He took your blood think of unsterilized needles his own personal hygiene I AM IN SHOCK! i AM RUNNING TO WORK NOW WILL RESPOND LATER WHEN I GET HOME PLEASE DO NOT MEET WITH THIS GUY AGAIN I BEG YOU.

Potu, 

Dr  Haastrup, you saying do I feel threatened is really petty of you , SINCE YOU HAVE ALL THIS KNOWLEDGE  open your own thread and give free advice I know people will appreciate it. just keep it moving thank you.

oduamine:

@dr haastrup i don't av anytin against u,just that this thread is meant to bring ttc 2geda,to share our pains,help n heal eachoda.
If u want to give advice on fertility u can do it on anoda thread.

Ok what odunamine said and how I feel are EXACTLY the same we are not a pity party here. I have looked at your answers to questions Dr hastrup and they are educative so i have nothing against that but when i just see people asking one question,with new id's popping up it makes it look like an answer and question thread instead of a community that it is meant to be .
It is a thread meant for people going through infertility to come in talk about it and not just for people who have one question and never come back again. It was not meant to be a ask Dr blah blah any question and he gives you answers like some other health threads.
(Share pains?, heal each other?
Is that a way out?, Pity party or knowledge about what you have and a way to get treatment and where to get one.)
Yes Dr hasstrup that is exactly what we have been doing here share stories and heal each other with words and look for solutions to issues arising.
Everything is just not simple cut and nail and drugs and go and see doctors. it takes a toll on you emotionally and psychologically ,that is why i made this as an outlet . As it is the internet i have no claim to anything but I think some of us love it the way it was and meant to be.

Dr Haastrup has taken over the thread?
Where is everyone ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh General Abiop,my peace stages everyone where una don waka go ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I am guilty as well
Hope everyone is doing ok.

carnal:

olamide123:

Hello, I need urgent help please. I have been having very mild pelvic pain since february after my miscarriage. It was on and off, a lot of times I actually felt like it was in my head. Earlier this month, pid was suspected and I have taken antibiotics for a month. However, the pain is still consistent. It is not very painful, but I just know something isn't right. I came into accident and emergency yesternite and exaggerated the pain a bit to get urgent treatment because my GP hasn't taken me seriously. Now the docs want to perform a laparoscopy on me tomorrow. I am very scared, a bit of me is thinking the pain isn't that bad and I shouldn't allow them operate on me. What are the risks involved in a laparoscopy? Dyu think with mild pain, I should consent to having one? Should I manage the pain with pain kiLlers instead? Please help!!! I'm really scared

Olamide how are you feeling now?How did it all go sorry no one was able to reply you, but there is really nothing we could do but encourage you.
Hope you are feeling better.
