Travel / Re: NIGERIAN POSTAL SERVICE by Arlington(f): 1:48pm On Nov 05, 2010
I have sent things from the united states, to Nigeria and nothing has been missing and the last time was in May.An engagement ring, laptop and a watch.
Before now I have also sent about a total of 9 laptops and everything was intact.
I use the 6 to 10 days delivery but I send my family to go There to the main post office in Lagos island by The 6th day because most times they do arrive by the 6th day.
They just charge you a high custom duty, but it depends on what you have inside the box and what it is worth.
I list every item and price so in case God forbid it gets lost I can get back my exact money through the insurance I pay for when sending my packages.

@ Doctor 7 don't be offended but this is not a thread for advertisement of cures .Try the advertising section thank you!

Hello house
How are you all doing? I am slacking big time i am even lost on the threads i need time to read every single message since thread 25!!
I am feeling fine in Jesus name, i am exhausted and i find it difficult to move around. I was told my baby is dropping so he is already head down and it is making it really uncomfortable for me.
Most days i am just in bed laying down , i know it is not good for me but i don't want to drive around and start parking my car at any corner so i can rest and not feel dizzy i have done this many times now , and it scares my husband.

I have started counting the days please you all put me in your prayers ,that all will go well.
@ Stages such great news see how time flies happy your baby girl is doing ok now.
@ Abiop how are you and the Mrs doing?
@ sammieejo i am here oh not just checking in due to laziness on my part.

@Ejedamen i guess you are ok
My peace i hope you are well and doing good the lord is your strength.

Good Morning My fellow TTC's
Hope this week brings us all blessings . My Monday update almost took my self to the hospital on Saturday because i thought i was going to have pre-term labour he kept on moving and moving for about 15 hours non stop. i was worried he was tangled in his cord or something else was wrong.
But due to my paranoia i have a fetal heart monitor at home so i could listen to his heart beat at home to see he was just fine just moving up and down for what ever reason.
Went for a scan he only showed me his nose and mouth used his hands to cover his face angry already wanting a spanking but i accepted it as long as he is doing well i thank my God.
my back is hurting and it is getting difficult for me to sleep and i am having pressure in my tummy and think i am going to pee my self sometimes but as always I am not complaning will not change it for anything.
So how was everyones weekend, hope great.

@ Limar i am sorry AF showed her ugly head, but please don't start stressing now oh it is too early i beg .
I am not using my self as a yard stick, but you are saying they are counting months for you, me someone used me as an example and said God forbid oh my case will not be like her own. how do you think i felt,i felt  horrible.
As Ejadamen said i am far gone yet i have not told some people only few people know because i had my own friends say they where sure i would not have a child like they where my God.
i refused to cry because i knew i was not barren. even on this Nairaland i had an argument with one guy( because he said he was a medical doctor was giving some advice that made no sense) who has many id's his name then was Pout and said he was not the cause of my wahala oh that i was barren. so my dear trails and tribulations will always come just hold on to God and relax it will happen it does not mean there is anything wrong with you.

Pslm23,
Sorry that AF shower up. Sometimes it is not the moderators, it just takes your posts as spam and deletes it , It happens to me a lot.
You where on Clomid for 8 days, why?Normally i know 5 days only, 8 days seems excessive maybe your doctor is using a diffrent method?You just have to keep on petting your DH i know it seeems like work and can be frustrating but for now he should just go with the flow.
I say there was a time my doctor saw my body more than my husband it was ridiculous ,thank God the doctor had a nurse with him always if not i am sure my DH would have started suspecting me grin. Amen to all your prayers God will surly answer all our prayers.

@Uche 13 thank you for taking time to read the thread, don't worry you are in our prayers .that would be an interesting thread as long as the usual misfits on Nairaland don't turn it into a circus.I am happy they don't come here to cause trouble so i pray yours will go that way too.

Health / Re: Trying To Conceive A Child? TTC by Arlington(f): 6:19pm On Aug 31, 2010
Ada24,
Where are you having the baby? Anywhere you are having this baby just make sure you have a good doctor and he /she know what they are doing.
Not to alarm you or anything i can't say for sure if you will lose a lot of blood or not , but the only worrying thing about a fibrod blocking the cervix is if you are to have a c section where will have to cut they have to be extremely careful so they don't cause too much bleeding that can lead to a hysterectomy.
So the location of the Fibrods is really important so i advice you speak to your doctor and they might want to have scans done so they know exactly where they would cut if they have too. For the actual procedure c -section it is a major surgery but not as scary as people make it to be these days some ladies who think they are too posh to push just arrange for one so they don't have to go through any pain.
Sorry i did not erase your fears just telling you the little i know.
Health / Re: Trying To Conceive A Child? TTC by Arlington(f): 2:39pm On Aug 30, 2010
Mypeace  i also , used progesterone but mine was the capsules that can be taken orally or inserted  normally it is taken till you get to 8 weeks but this time me and my doctor agreed i take it till 12 weeks but i added one extra week on my own because i was scared to come of it.
The blood work my lord they are plenty oh , example  Protein s panel, Lupus Anticoagulant,Homocystine, Activated protein c resistance, they are a lot one time they took 8 tubes of blood from me. What they tested for me might be diffrent from what they test for you.But the general gist is that  these tests are done if you have a recurrent miscarriages to make sure your body is not fighting the baby as a foregin body, to make sure your blood does not clot and stop blood flow to the baby.
Health / Re: Trying To Conceive A Child? TTC by Arlington(f): 12:57pm On Aug 30, 2010
My darling mypeace,
I can not say i know how you feel, but know I and other people here share your pain I am so sorry for this happening again. it is at times like this we give up but please don't. I know it is discouraging and sad but you know there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I don't know about this Ehi thing I would love to hear the explanation. what was the injection for?I am wondering is your doctor just your general practitioner doctor or a fertility specialist because sometimes they don't know as much as the people specialized in this Field .
The problem is not getting pregnant on your part, it is keeping it which seemed to have been my case.

If you could I would say take a little break and if you can, can they check you for any blood disorder?just to cover all bases? Only God gives children this I know but we have to be proactive our selves.I did over 10 blood work yet they found nothing, but each time there was never a conclusive result on my blood clot tests hence I as put on Baby aspirin (which helps thin the blood) I pray this is not your portion in Jesus name, but I just feel so desperate like i should tell you all i know.

‘Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ Isaiah 41:10

@ Vinibabe thank you , now about clomid I have used it for 5 cycles and of the 5 i got pregnant 2 times and i lost both babies. i was on 50mg but i worked with a fertility specialist so I had to do ultrasounds to see if it was working to see if any egg was developing.
i don't really know how your doctor said you should take yours did he just say take it for 4months and baby dance during your ovulation? You said to take it on the second day i always took mine on the 3rd day after the ultrasound .
Because as i have always stated, clomid can be dangerous and work against you because it can thin out your uterus and your body will not be conducive for pregnancy .
once i took it and i was told not to do a procedure because the clomid had thinned out my uterus i was put on estrogen tablets to try and rebuild it and that cycle did not work.
so Vini it depends on how you are taking it , i am some how amazed the way people are talking about clomid it seems you can just go and get it and take it. My friend told me i want twins jo i am going to take clomid , Clomid is the drug that causes multiple births 2 to 6 babies. so just find out from your doctor more instructions on it.

Hello women how are you all doing? Welcome New ladies to this small family of ours i hope and pray that you all have your testimonies ASAP.
I am feeling under the weather a lot no energy i thought by now i should be very strong but it seems like it is not so . But i am taking each day at a time and i am still thankful.
Just out of curiosity what is this Pregnacare i keep hearing , is it just prenatal you take you get your body ready for conception before and during pregnancy or it is something else?
This weekend is touch and go for me. my sister is having a baby the first baby in my family and we thought her water broke ran to the hospital nothing happening having small contractions nothing major yet .after the whole running this morning she is busy dancing this evening so i guess no show for the baby today sad I cant wait to see this baby i guess it will keep my mind off my own for a while so i don't obsess about my own. please put me in your prayers that she has a smooth delivery without complications.
Mypeace i hope your exams are going well and i hope you are fine. i wish you all a blessed and fantastic week ahead.

Readydad at least you did not plug in to sell us some magical chewing stick so i no vex with you oh grin
I was just cranky on that day and was reading  through posts and saw some hearbal medication ,links ,church names called out etc.  some links are sometimes insensitive (i know it is the web no control on nothing)and the last thing we women need here is someone just thinking they know the very root of everyones problem was just making sure nobody was disturbing my sisters here.so just said how i felt no hard feelings towards you.And of course this place is for everyone just that some links and posts just tie my brain in a knot.
Meanwhile let me yab you small since i am still crancky and my husband has gone to work and you are the man that came my way i was on my own jeje je so,

hello Vinibabe,
Of course you are welcome here.As you know we are not  doctors just women and men trying to help each other and share ideas so sometimes we can only speculate on a particular situation.
The pain on your right side is it just constant everyday and everytime or you get it during your period or after?
You said you are worried with the Ikaclomin is it giving you any side effects or you are just worried nothing is happening?you also said left side pain is that all the time as well?
You might have to change doctors if you really feel something is wrong for a second opinion nobody knows your body better than your self.
Have you tried feeling where this pain comes from to see there is a lump or anything there?
sorry i am asking a lot of questions  smiley
Health / Re: Trying To Conceive A Child? TTC by Arlington(f): 4:31pm On Aug 09, 2010
Not to sound annoying but i am getting slightly irritated by people who just come in here one time  and drop links on how to get pregnant or advertise for some mumbo jumbo thing. We really appreciate all your info, but  it is getting annoying , you know nothing about the people here you just think everyone has the same issues so sending a link on how to hump from The 9th day to 14 day of ovulation is the magic trick or someone chewing your herbal stick will make them pregnant presto!!! angry maybe i am just hormonal today who knows but this is how i feel. angry

Moving on,  Hello my people i am fine i thank God can not complain  just taking each day a step at a time.
I am just having some wicked back pain trying to find a good sleeping position getting hard and i think this child has tuned my bladder into a trampoline because yesterday on my way to church i peed 4 times in 10 minutes not fun at all but i will just  smiley
My peace  No be small Boy Alinco  i say i don rest for the matter for now before i give my self brain gay. I am thinking that stages has dropped the baby oh has anyone heard from her?

My pregnancy is a testimony and i know God will perfect it .This baby is due 2 days to my father's birthday and I lost my dad last year and he was my best friend .Always telling me not to worry that i would carry my baby it hurts so much that he will not see this baby. but in a way i feel this baby is coming as my connecting to him.As long as the baby does not carry his stubborn character i am fine lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

My dear Delphilia,
How do i tell you not to cry again? How do i say don't worry about it. I feel your pain even if i don't know you. I know how many nights i cried on my bathroom floor when ever my period came .
I don't know your husband but what he has done and said is not helping issues and i will try not to judge him but it is hard and painful for me not too.
If he loves you and wants a family with you, why is he worried ?why do African men always think testing for such things make them less of a man.I have seen a man without one single living sperm when he did an analysis . how is he so sure he is not shooting blanks?
If he agrees to having the IVF he has to get his sperm tested and Analyzed wither he likes it or not. I will not dwell on what he has said because i might just say something i am not meant to say.

Dry your tears you will laugh. in Genesis 21.6 Sarah said God hath made me to laugh so that all that hear will laugh with me. You will laugh with me hold on to God.
Just take it easy let today pass say nothing to him if your husband is someone who you can really talk to give him some days and call him and pour out your heart to him and see what he says. You will be in my prayers and God will answer you .when you are more relaxed you can come back here and we can talk some more we are always here for each other.
Take care sweetheart and good night.
