Glory be to God! I so love her testimony. Now that's what I'm talking about. When you hold on to God's word, you'll come back with a testimony. I like what she said about not reading negative things about their condition. Many of us dnt know how much what we read is affecting us. Guard your heart with all diligence. And this was the point I was trying to make with that Agigboma's link. Sorry I dint get to the end before attacking her (na pepper body bin dey worry me).

What you read and dwell upon will affect ur spirit which in turn affects your body. That is why most ttc women experience real tangible pregnancy symptoms. I for one literally felt a baby kicking! And babies dnt even start kicking that early! The moment I stop paying attention to such symptoms, I stopped feeling them. Af is due tomoro or next and I feel nothing! Just sore side boobs but nothing serious, in fact when I forget about the pain, I stop feeling it.

Another thing I now do which I wasnt doing before is Positive confessions. If you see where I dey gist with God, you go laugh. I also rebuke the devil. I literally shout at him loud. I keep saying, “You cannot crucify my Lord Jesus and crucify me too!".

I also shout at myself to snap me back into positive thinking and to drown any negative thoughts. It works! I keep telling myself “..., you will not think or say anything that is contrary to your testimony and the word of God, whatever you feel or see, you will give birth to your babies peacefully and you will dedicate them to God. When Noah sacrificed to God after after the flood, all the curses were reversed so there is nothing like 'it is normal to feel pain during pregnancy and delivery. It is not normal. Even if the blessings of Abraham and Noah did not work, when Jesus on the Cross said IT IS FINISHED, He did not add 'except ur case' so, you have no excuse to not have your testimonies, and the devil has no right whatsoever in this world or the next, irrespective of sins you might committed, to try rubbish with you.!"

My sisters, this is war! We are pulling down every stonghold which are thoughts and imagination. 2nd Cor 110: 1-5
 1  Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:

 2  But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

 3  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

 4  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds note

 5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

In our lives, Faith should always do the talking! I pray our eyes and hearts are open to receive the reality of God's word. I also decree and declare that by the the end of this year, EVERYONE CURRENTLY TTC ON THIS THREAD WILL BE IN DIFFERENT STAGES OF OUR PREGNANCIES IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN!!!!

My dear, you just typed the story of our lives! But I know it will soon be over for us all. For me, I believe it is over, whether the devil likes it or yes! M BFP has already been confirmed in the spirit. Amen. God has done it for us My Sisters. Just believe and hold on to your confession. Dnt change ur words becos of what you see or feel. Faith sisters, Faith!!!

Hmm, see long throat mummies. Hope ur babies no go make una chop ur own, chop hubby own join! Me sef, long-throat no go gree me turn vegetarian.

@Dream, since I started ttc, I have gained some weight. Sometimes, I feel maybe all the af I have been having are just heavy spotting...5days in a row, about the same time every month. Hahahah...lol. So you are not alone in ur wish. I am also in 2ww, I just look for something to keep me busy. But it's not easy at all.

MamaT and Venuss, as you can see, our Oga at the top has taken over. Let us just forget it. As Venuss said, me sef I no dey watch any rubbish again. Na comedy, romance comedy and reality shows I dey watch. I love Tia and Tamera cos their show is so clean and Tamera is pregnant now (in d show cos she has given birth since last yr) so as I dey watch, I dey rub my bele o...and e dey sweeting me!

Dat reminds me, I noticed that since I started ttc, I now hate cutting whole chicken or fish. I dnt even like seeing were live chicken or fresh fish is killed. Is it just me? I once fried a whole croaker fish and when I looked at it, it was as if the eyes were staring into my soul. Violence and death of any kind started getting to me more than normal. Maybe I should becme a vegetarian...:-(

Oh really, I wasnt patient to read to the end cos it was just depressing. Abegg, make we stick to 'encouraging from the start' testimonies....loolz :-)

On a more serious note, there are some information we do not need some times as it only fuels our fear. Yes, the Lady came back to testify but many people will start being afraid that it might happen to them first too... Just my opinion sha. It's good you deleted them, make we move foward jare.

I am in the 2-week chillin period. Sometimes I check my calendar more than twice a day...like say date go change from 16th to 22nd in a few hours...smh... My wait is over sha. That I know.

@ Lizzyslaw, na wa o. What I still dnt understand is how they are able to get twins on demand like that.

I read that the limit is 5mg a day. U should take at least 400mcg. So depending on the dosage your own is, you can take it more than once a day. But the one I take has 5mg folic and 5 mcg of B12 so I take it once a day, which is convenient for me since I absolutely hate drugs and it's such a small tablet.

@ Golden baby, me I am not too knowledgeable about infections but I know that infections prevent pregnancies. Pls, exercise a little patience, we have some doctors in the house both professional and those who learnt thru ttc :-) . They will answer you soon.

@ Nictos, loooolz... Na so. Men go dey complain but they can't do without us.

@ Lizzyslaw and twingirls, I am also kind of a cycle buddy. Today is Cd22 for me. No pregnancy symptoms because I refused to think about it. I think knowing what early 2ww symptoms are is one of the worst things a person going thru ttc needs. I used to visit one countdown to pregnancy site and those days I was like a psycho. I even sometimes felt a baby KICK in my tommy, during the 2WW!!! My dears, no be small thing.

I also told God that I will have a stress free pregnancy. The only symptoms of pregnancy that I will have is BIGI BELE! Then maybe all the good symptoms like the glow.

btw, I have been absent here cos I have not had much going on. Did the cd21 hormone test yesterday. I am yet to get the results of all my tests including HSG. My doctor sef is not in a hurry. He told me to come back next wed. And af is supposed to be due then. I am just happy cos he will just help me confirm my pregnancy sharply! No home test. Btw home test kit is also one not-so-good things a person ttc needs. The money I used to but Hpts, I for use am dey buy baby things.

@ Favored gal, thank you. I'll be getting the results tomoro. Im just praying I get positive answers sha.

Pls, dnt rely on your docs report. its a good thing you are rejecting clomid. I mean, what kind of style is that one? why will he already jump.to next cycle when this cycle is not over. Pls, reject anything that'l affect your faith. God has done it for you already. In Jesus' name. Amen!

@ Santagelo25. Thank you and God bless you richly. Wow! You can't believe how much you have touched my life. It is as if you were talking to me. Cos if this is a test, I have failed woefully! I have let fear, shame and anxiety remove my trust in the Lord. Not that I stopped believing in Him, I kinda have been trying to do His work for Him. I repent today.

God bless you sir. Pls check on us once in a while and tell us ur story. How is your wife?. Thank you.

@ Wonyi, thank you darl. I am already practicing my laughs and smiles...

@ Pink22, Amen o...!!! Thank you. I have already told my mummy for him.

@ Muma, I am in PH. And it's my hub's company hospital. But I'm sure there are more good places in lag. Other mum's pls help.

@ Thank you all for your encouragement and support. God bless us all. This month is a great mnth for us. I just know it.

Happy New Month moms. This is a month of testimonies. We are marching forward unto a new level of bfps and pregnancy stories. We are leaving ttc behind. In JESUS' NAME, AMEN!!! Me, I am really excited about this month.

My husband and I prayed this morning and I was close to tears at his words. He said, Jesus has already paid the price so we are whole. Nothing missing, nothing broken. I had a hsg scheduled for today and initially he told me to leave it that it's a waste of time but later, he agreed cos he knows that part of my problem is anxiety. The fact that I have not really done any investigations makes me feel like something terrible might be wrong with me. He feels I am fine and that all my worries are uncalled for.

Anyway, so I did the hsg this morning and it hurt like crazy. I did not take any drugs before cos my doc said it wasnt necessary. And the docs kept telling me it wasn't painful, that I am just thinking it is painful, even when it was as if they were trying to pull out my womb! It was not mind over matter O! It was MATTER, Period! I think part of the pain is from anxiety. All those big equipment made me feel like I was in a theatre about to be have my bones reinforced with iron like X-men's Wolverine. actually, that thought helped me smile and relax a little...a very tiny small little...cos I felt like shouting 'Oga Dr, e don do O...! Thank you o, make I close my thing carry am commot!' Lol

Anyweis, I am still bleeding or spotting. Whatever, blood-like liquid is sha coming out. Is it normal? I had the proceedure at about 8.30 dis morning. How long after did your spotting end for those who have done it. My hub is already teasing me that I have INK in my body so no bedroom tinz :-) smh

Cjnone, it is well with your soul. Amen.

@ Hawtmommie, this health issue is very serious. Sometimes cos we want children badly, we forget to take care of our bodies. Thank you for reminding us. About the ulcer diagnosis, its just a mirage. The devil is a liar. You are sound from the crown of head to the sole of your feet. In Jesus' Name, Amen!!!!

@ Everyone, hi beautiful moms, how are we all doing? New week, new miracles.

Update, did some blood tests today. Havnt gotten the results. Will do the pelvic scan and hsg on wed and friday.

Btw, see me see groove o. The doctor that will do the hsg for me started asking me what I know about hsg. I told him about what I had read online and from you guys. Na im the guy start to dey give me exam. He started asking me several questions (details) about the proceedure, the risks involved and possible diagnosis. You should have seen the way we were discussing like I was a medical student. It was fun sha. Its not my fault, na ttc cause am...

Adedoyinsola: ur story makes me wanna cryyyyy and i cant do anymore caying cause am starting to develop eye problem frm crying too much.......ur story is so inspirating,thank you so much for sharing this.....

Awww...thank you too for reading. My mum's story always assures me that everything will always work out for my good. Me too, I have stopped crying. It does not change anything...:-)

@ Peaceheart, looooooool. Sorry e hear? She will not do it again, e hear? When I saw her post I just shook my head. Even me that has been ttc for 15 months, sometimes I dnt feel worthy to post anything here...

Ok @ Muma, no wahala. I'll just search till I see it.

My 2cents... My mum got married at the age of 26 to a man who started abusing her emotionally. She said it got to level that when he comes back from work, her heart will skip several beats at the sound of his car horn. She did not get pregnant and started going from one hospital to the other.

After a while, 5 years later, when the stress, shame and abuse got too much, with the help of her sister, she got the courage to file for divorce. At this time, she did not even have money cos she had spent all on treatments and she moved out of his house. That was when she met my dad. She was on her way to east to see if she could beg any of her brothers for money. They both boarded the same bus.

Initially when my dad tried to chat her up, she was not interested because she had a lot on her mind including the fact that she was trying to get divorced. She told him straight up that she was too much baggage and he couldn't handle her...lol, she dint even wait to see if it was just an innocent chit chat. Ha! Women.... Anyway, My dad then asked her, if she had any terminal illness. With a mixture of anger and amusement, she told him her whole story without leaving any details cos she was sure he would run.

They talked through out the journey and when they got to where he would drop, (he dropped first), My dad gave her his card and told her to check him up when she gets back to Lagos. (No GSM then). She took the card and shoved it in her bag. While in the east, she told her sister about the funny guy she met and how they talked all the way from lag to the east. But that she wasn't interested. Her sis, the one who encouraged her to get the divorce, told her to make sure she looked for my Dad. She agreed half-heartedly.

Well, she did not get enough money for a good lawyer so she returned to Lag. And forgot about my Dad too. :-( . One day, while going through her stuffs, she saw the card and decided to check him up. At least she needed someone to talk to.

Long story short, they started dating. My dad went to see her mum and brothers. They did their introduction. He hired a lawyer. He wasn't very rich then so it was an amateur they could hire. Meanwhile, my mum's rich ex-husband got a good lawyer and refused to grant her the divorce claiming that she had gotten married while they were still married. This was three years after she first filed for divorce. He kept trying to frustrate her.

As God did it, she was already heavily pregnant with her first child...EVER. The Judge said her ex had won the case but He was granting her the divorce based on the fact that he could see she was suffering so much pain and that her ex was just trying to intimidate her.

Finally, she married my Dad and they went on to have four beautiful, intelligent, good children, including me...hehehehe...

Forgive me, I wanted to write a brief story but I love my parent's story. I have heard it, from my dad like twice and from my mum, for like a million times but I love hearing it again.

So my point is, having children is not the end... What kind of environment will they grow up in? Will you be of sound mind and body to raise them properly in the fear of the lord?

On the order hand, it is not easy, Cjnone. I know that. I mean, 6 years of ur life is not beans especially at ur age when you would have thought you'd be settled and taking care of ur kids. But God is never too late. He might not come at your time, but He will come at the right time. My mum, told me that if she had even had one child for that man, she would never have left him even if he wanted to kill her because she never wanted to be a single mum. Imagine that kind of life.

My dear, be strong. Things can turn around in a twinkle. Even ur hubby can change. I mean the heart of a king is in God's hands... Enough of my sermon. May God give you strength and wisdom to make the right choice. And may you receive Grace to conceive. AMEN!!!!

@ Muma, pls how can I get it? I stay in PH. Do they sell it normally in d market?

Safe 06, lol...na tree na. The leaf and seeds come from a tree. But is it the tree they call DOGON YARO?

Greenfruits, thanks. I'll look for it.

Mzora, Amen. thank you. But can I use Ibuprofen?

Pls, I know Google is my friend but I prefer you guys, pls What is MORINGA TREE?

@ Beloved, thank you. God bless you. I have never had the pain before that was why I thinking it was something else. Na wa o! Anyway, I am taking a break from ttc next month. As in, I'll specifically stay away from bd during my fertile days. Lt me cool down, study and take care of my body. After that, I will be ready! This time eh, it's fight to the finish...pain or no pain...

Hi mommies. How are we this morning?

@ Marygold, congratulations!!!! Pls dnt let the devil tell you anything on the contrary. Dnt entertain any negative thoughts. With prayer and positive confession you will have a happy pregnancy and delivery and naming, and birthdays and marriage and grandchild naming :-) Dnt mimd me, I always see to the far future...

So generally I'm fine. AF showed up this morning but for the first time since I got married, I am ok with it. Not happy o...just OK... I have been scheduled for several medicals starting from cd3; Omo, dem plenty o! blood tests, pelvic scan, hsg and so on including SA for hubby. This is the first time I am doing any real tests. Pls ladies who have done all these, please I need general advice on how to go about them, like what to expect.

Generally, I have decided to just keep calm and breath. If possible try to enjoy the process cos it's for my good. Thank God my Hubby's company hospital is taking care of it all. Cos right now, I dnt have that kind of cash...at alllllll!!!!

I have also decided to start a vegetarian diet after I detox for three days. So Help Me God!

Dat reminds me. First of all, the devil is a liar and a sore loser, always looking for whom to deceive. My last cycle i.e d one that ended with af this morning, during the time I think I was ovulating i.e, the five fertile days, I had this serious pain on my left lower side that made BD impossible. I mean, even when hubby will try to just hold my hands, it would be as if it was making the pain worse. I was doubled over almost through out the 7days. Pls has anyone gone through this? What does it mean?

Sorry for my epistle. Right now I can feel some cramping starting in my tommy. AF is looking for my trouble. Warn her o! She should just do her thing quietly and leave me in peace!

More Grace to conceive to all...

Hello ladies, how are we all doing? Just wanted to assure all of us that we are overcomers. The devil has been defeated and we have our victories in Christ.

Pls @Zenoj, I am interested in detoxifying. My email is choklatelips@yahoo.com. thanks.

Hey beautiful Mommies, I just went through 194 pages of reality show! I was more than touched. Here I was whining about being ttc for over a year when so many women have been through worse! My God! I am especially proud of Udoka, Mama Triplet, Alwaystrue and Pink 22. U guys just made get my head out of a** and sit up. This is not a time to be feeling sorry for myself and expecting the whole world to organize a big pity party for me. All the women here are just too much. And the two guys, Gen Buhari and Santa-something(sorry I never really looked at ur name, just jumped to your comment) U guys are very brave men.

Mommies, this year, we will all be like they that dreamed...Amen. No baby dust from me, Just special Grace to conceive and actually carry your children in your hands and see your children's children children!!!! Have a lovely evening all...

Pink 22. Wow!!! I want to be like you ooo Thank you. It is like we are or were both in the same weight range. I currently weigh 89 but I want to go down to 75, my ideal weight. I also had it in mind to cut down all kinds of carbs but like I said, I had it IN MIND ...abeg no be laughing mata o... Anyway, I will from today start my own carb elimination process. But how about your energy level? Dont you feel tired more than normal?

Thanks @ safe 06. I have not done a comprehensive test. I'll do that next week. I was a old to wait till after a year. I am just happy I found this forum.

Hey guys, I am new to this forum and I am surprised at how many women are here. I thought it was only oyibo people that have problems with ttc. Truth is I am tired and it's like it has taken over my life. I am now in a constant state of de-motivation. I have checked almost all the ttc sites and forums that the internet offers. If anyone had told me it was going to be this hard, I would have laughed it off. After years of contraceptives. My doctor seems to not see anything wrng and I have been ttc for over a year. I have added about 10kg since I started trying. And that is not good for fertilty.

I cry anytime I see Af. I check my body for symptoms all the time. And now, I am tired. Phew! Feels good to finally get this off my chest cos I have never really told anyone and my DH thinks I am worrying too much.

I always ask and I keep getting similar vague and annoying answers. pls what of people in Portharcourt. ok, so I dnt know about others. I live in PH and I want to write the exams in nov, I havnt registered for the exams yet (dunno if reg. is on). I have gotten some books and the past questions but reading on my own feel weird. I rili am not understanding some of what I am reading. Ple where can I get lesson classes to attend here in Portharcourt?
