CityChic, welcome onboard.

Muyinoluwa, kpele my Sister. Didn't chec yesterday but I've just replied u.

Akintr, no vex we have u in mind and praying for u. Like Subzidy said, pray about it as ivf is not automatic but God who sees ur heart will make all things well this first attempt. We will all join u in prayers.

Meanwhile, I just want to advice us to do somethg differently from now on. Can we stop posting our ivf schedule here? As in am doing EC tomorrow and ET nex 2moro. Have we noticed that bulk of the bfps come from those who don't talk about their schedule? Walls have ears my sisters and times are evil. In as much u need our prayers when u transfer and in ur 2ww, its better to do this thg quietly with just ur hubby and Dr in the know. Times are evil I say it again. If at the end, u come out with a bfp, tell us then, we will celebrate wt u and if God forbid, it is a bfn, no wahala too, com and tell us and we will console u and help in looking for a way forward.
Its just my opinion so its open to criticism. Been wanting to post this all this while but for one reason or the other, I keep deleting it after typing but I just want us to know that its for our good. Check my posts from beginning to end, and also cost of ivf thread, and finally blocked tube thread. U will rarely see anywhere I posted my ivf schedule. U'll only see where I've already done it and am talking about my result either positive or negative. I hav friends, relatives and even colleagues who has never called me since I gav birth. The only offence I committed was not telling them anythg when I was pregnant. That is to say there are people who were happy that I didn't have a child. They are excited when u cry n pour out ur heart to them but angry when u finally find a solution to ur problems.
Let when u're are doing ur procedure, collection and transfer be between u, ur hubby, Dr and God. My one cent advice!

Julicoka how old is ur boy? I think its the pap. Its probably not good with his system that is why he is excreting it. One of my boys had same issue when I first introduce pap n sma gold at 3m. For like 3 days the guy kept pooing after eating even up to 4 times a day. I had to stop the pap and kept giving him only the sma gold and breast milk as before and the poo returned to normal, once in 2-3 days. We just started the pap again at 4m 2 days ago so am watching him. No change yet in his pooing pattern for now so we are still watching him cos I intend changing to somethg else if the poo continues.
I think u shd stop the pap and watch him for some days and if possible, boil his drinking water.

Wendy kids are known for rejecting foods they are not used to. I think u should keep trying to get ur baby to take the nan except the baby is throwing up or pooing excessively then u can now talk of changing his formular. Secondly, u cod express ur milk and keep in the fridge/freezer for him if ur sole reason for introducing formular is because of ur job. Ur milk can stay up to 3m when stored in the freezer. All the best.
Secondly how far wt the car seat u wanted to buy? I have brand new Gracco snug ride in PH for sale but its not 10k sha as U might need to increase ur budget if u want it.

Na wa. I read a post on the ttc forum and another on the ivf thread where both ladies claimed it worked for them. Though I haven't had time to search for both posts but am sure I read somethg like that. Will look for both posts one of these days. Maybe u should try flushing as well. Don't know how effective it is though but most ladies who tried it on this forum are either pregnant or has given birth. Some natural conception while others thru ivf.

Congrats my Sisters, Udoka and Sparkle. Our God who started this journey with u will see u both thru to th end with healthy babies. I wish u Babes stress free 9m.

MamaTriplets, I be regular visitor here even though I rarely comment. But for good news, trust me to always put on my dancing shoes to celebrate with u guys. We shall all testify soonest by His grace.

Amatu, it is well. God knows best and he will perfect that which concerns u. God in His infinite mercies will compensate u with double. It is well my Sister, keep thanking Him for better things to come.

Udoka, u don try wella for the plenty suspense. Congrats anyways cos we don know how the tory end!

Udoka na wa o, I don log on several times to read ur testimony o! Why u come wan kpai person with suspense na? Anyway I dey wait patiently too cos na azonto plus etigi I don practice today on ur behalf cos I must celebrate wt u. Abeg just dey post the concluding part of this story as u wake up from sleep o! Congrats in advance!

Dominique some of these thgs really happen especially with those who sleep very deep. Or people who are always too tired due to the nature of their job. My hubby sleeps really deep so I know I'll never let my boys sleep too close to him on the bed except am on night vigil. I even snapped a picture recently of one of my boys sleeping with both legs on his twin brothers back. Since then I've stopped sleeping them close to each other cos its obvious he has inherited somethg from somebody (Lol). If boys of barely 14wks can sleep like that, imagine a very tired adult.
Bottom line is those who do hectic jobs and sleep deeply should avoid sleeping with infants on the same bed.

Buccacious! Buccacious!! Buccacious!!! WaooooooOooooooh!!!!!!! Am so excited with this good news. God be praised for ever and ever. Go Girl, twins and triplets is what am wishing u right now. Congratulations!!!!!!!

I know its not right sharing beds with infants but its so much easier attending to them when they wake up at night. I was told of a lady recently around ikorodu area (my Aunt's neighbor) who mistakenly slept on her 1m old baby and the baby died. Honestly speaking, I starting using the cot after I heard that story but we are back to sharing bed. Cots/cribs/even play pen are far safer and better.

Smiler kpele. It is well. God will compensate u with double for your troubles. Can u send me an email let's talk? ruonar2000@yahoo.com

Iykmau, all the best with ur procedure. I pray our good Lord uses Dr Emeka to bless u with ur heart desire at first attempt.

@ Inwangobio, congrats my brother. 16wks already U're almost there. The Lord will see u guys thru. U shd kno their sexes in another 3-4wks. Am sure u can't wait. Congratulations my brother.

All, I dey hail all of una. Una weldone!

NO in capital letters.

True talk with the first point u noted.

Miracle of the 21st century. Am happy for this couple. At least no ivf Dr will wack their money again in the name of ivf procedure. Congratulations to them!

Ebf as contraceptive works for some people but not everybody. I have sisters whom ebf as contraceptive worked for some babies and the other babies were conceived while ebfing without any period. Infact I have a colleague who was almost 3m pregnant while on ebf and no period before she reÀlised she was pregnant. They kept treating her for malaria etc until she decided to do a pt on her own and discovered through scan that she had almost crossed her first trimester without realizing it whereas ebf worked for her 2 other kids. All am trying to say is what works for one person or even baby may not work for the other. Use prevention if u really don't want another baby so soon. Am not on ebf as I also include formular for my boys and they are almost 4m yet no period but for me o, I don't want to bother myself with fear of a natural pregnancy cos I'll embrace it with open hands even with the sweet headache and stress my boys are giving me.
As for reducing ur tummy, use wrapper to tie it as it seem to be more effective than girdle. All the best.

This is really bad o! Is it not possible she's reacting to something? They shouldn't have bursted it cos such things will reappear more if it doesn't get dried either on its own or through drugs. Did they prescribe antibiotics for her? A friend of mine whose baby had something close to this on her body, though not this much was prescribed antibiotics by a pediatrician and was asked to use sebamed range of baby products. She was also asked not to share the baby's sponge and towel with any other sibling and it worked after a while. Take her to a good pediatrician for proper diagnosis and prescription. I wish u guys the best.

I'll also join in recommending Dr Alabi of South Shore women's Clinic. Met with while I was pregnant and I'll say the guy is good. Though I didn't give birth there. U can google their site for more info about him and the clinic. That guy is good!

@Yellowpawpaw, Ur hubby must be one in a million. Aren't u lucky? Most marriages would have been better if all men know how to apologize when they are wrong. There are men who even champion the nagging after their wives have started it and even kept quiet.
In all sha, we women should know when to stop before things get out of hand.

Honeybony are u starting another procedure this soon? Ur body needs time to heal first. As per the baby aspirin, I think my Dr gives it b4 collection or during stimming. Its been a while sha so can't remember exactly. Pls other members of this forum who used Dr Emeka should help me out. I know I took mine more than 12wks but u're supposed to stop taking it at 12wks, same time u stop cyclogest to avoid excessive bleeding during delivery.

@ Amazon, true talk my Sister.

Slusha Darling, it is well. Did ur Doc giv any reasons why ur embies didn't fertilize? How many eggs did they retrieve? Is this your first ivf? what about your spouse's fluid, is every thing ok with his side? Am just trying to ascertain if this has happened b4 and also find out if the problem is from your end or his. Since u're in your 20's, its really difficult advising you to use donor eggs cos u're quite young. Moreover, if the egg is not the problem but the fluid, using a donor egg won't make sense at all.
I'll advise you take a break and sort out these issues first sha b4 embarking on another procedure. If u had sought our opinion b4 embarking on the ET, I wod have advised u not to transfer the grade D embie because a grafe D embie implies that the embie didn't divide properly and might have chromosonal issuess so implantation might be difficult. Moreover since its just 1 grade D embie left, ur Dr did the best thg by advising u to cancel.
Send me an email if u want, let's talk outside here, let's see how we can help. Kpele, this too sha pass. You're still a young Chic and with ur level of faith and God on ur side, the sky is still ur limit. All the best.

Happy Mothers day to all the Mamas in the house. Hope u had a fruitful and joyous celebration?
Today we celebrated Mothers Day in my church and the service was superb. We had the Executive President nation wide of Baptist Women and she shared her testimony of how she had delay in child bearing after marriage and how God helped her to overcome barrenness. She then asked us to stand up and pray for friends and relatives we want God to bless with the fruit of the womb this yr. I stood amongst many other women and prayed specifically for God to bless every single Soul on this thread still in His waiting room. So my Sisters, expect an outbreak of bfps this season because God will not and cannot fail.
I say again, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all of u, you shall be Mothers of the best Children on planet earth. This time next year, u will smile and walk head high in the midst of other mothers cos God will make ur own possible. One love.

I also had same issue few weeks after giving birth but I can't tell how it disappeared as it probably healed on its own. I also think your baby is not latching well. Try putting the whole areola (dark shaded area) instead of just the tip in his mouth. This too will pass, kpele!

Also surprised. Even more surprised that I didn't leave this topic till I finished reading all 5 pages. I don laugh better laugh today. Tabawababy ride on.

Dr Emeka's number is 08032011536. He owns an ivf unit called Olive Branch Fertility inside Georges Memorial Hospital.
I hope this helps.


Meanwhile my people pls check the links below on how these fake herbalists get the babies they sell to unsuspecting childless couple. Pls becareful of any herbalist who promise to help u get pregnant but with the condition that you must give birth in his/her facility.

Oh my! May God grant her family the fortitude to bear the loss. My her soul rip.

O boy, See bellie! U're sure another one is not hiding in there? It looks like twins o! Congrats Dearie for coming this far. God who has started this will grant you and other preggies on this health section safe delivery.

Waooo.....what women go through to bring a child into this world and most of us who scale thru feel its our birthright to be hale and healthy after delivery. I pray the Almighty God heal her and bring her out of this. I'll also join in praying for her. Our love to her husband and the baby.

Kike oya receive twin boys in Jesus name, AMEN! I don hand over the battern to u. This time May 6th next year, we shall celebrate with u and all our waiting mothers IJN.

Meanwhile my people, ivf cost is very cheap outside the shores of naija except US and UK. Egypt's total package+transport and hotel is not more than 500k. Same with Turkey and most of the arab world. Na naija wan kpai us cos everything in this land is excess profit oriented. When I attack my Drs, they claimed its the light situation. Meanwhile na the latest cars in the range all of them dey drive. SA too is also very cheap. With 600-700k u're good to go except tfare and accomodation. If u have the time or u intend having a vacation with ur spouse, go to these arab countries. They are good!

Peace5050 my brother no be fight na! I only posted this so u'll know what ur pastor neighbor is up to and never ever give it a tot when they start testifying. My very close friend who also paid 400k for this PH herbs and almost talked me into it is a divorcee today cos her husband rejected the child since scan and pt test were negative. The man asked her to return the child or leave his house and she chose to leave not even when her company Dr refused to approve her mat leave papers did she bulge cos the Dr's report said she was never preg.
I grew up in ph so these women I know them very well. They will tell u u're pregnant even though ur tummy does not increase much in size and ur af still flows. They will tell u that u're in labour when there is an available baby (they have teenage girls that supply the babies). Ur spouse is not allowed in the delivery room and they will pieces ur womanliness just to make it look real that u delivered. What I don't understand is the fact that all of them who went thru this route will keep arguing that they were pregnant but witches n wizards are responsible for their babies not showing on scan.

PikinMama, I dey feel u full time. I don laugh enof today with ur posts. We thank God for everything.

@Peace5050 I need u to read this article. I copied it from the front page.

https://www.nairaland.com/1281878/nigerian-couple-failed-dna-test

Its about a couple who paid N1.8m for pregnancy herbs and were eventually given a set of twins. On doing DNA tests as recommended by the US embassy before they can get visas for the kids
, It was discovered the babies are not theirs and they've been arrested by the police for child thief and child trafficking.

It all summarizes what I told u 2wks ago when u said u were considering paying N1m for herbs as ur pastor did. These expensive herbal people will only end up putting couples in trouble. Imagine the embarrassment.

Pinky kudos! U're almost there. The Lord is ur strenght. Enjoy ur last preg days cos when ur baby arrives, its another ball game all over.

Safe u suppose dey do serious competition with Princess and basket mouth. No dey waste ur talents for only NL o!

PrettyMoma, I think its normal. The kicks reduces as u draw closer to ur Edd. U shd become worried if there is no movement at all. 30wks already Na u biko. U're almost there.

All, I wish u guys happy pushing and safe delivery o!
