@AmatuRahman, hugs and welcome. Glad you finally decided to join in. May your stay here be short and sweet.

@all, this is the way I fill my cakes to ensure deliciousness in every bite http://frostedbakeshopng..com/2013/05/filling-and-trimming.html

Welcome @MayMay1, may your stay here be short and sweet.

udoka2: @Dreamsicbic
No, she is in Imo state.

Ok, thanks for getting back to me. I knew you had good news for us at the end of your story. I wish you a perfect pregnancy and safe childbirth. Amen!

That might be the one thing I can't help you with o! A clause in my wedding cake contract states that I'm not available for speeches at the wedding. I'm sorry I couldn't help you more. Too shy!

@Pink22, God bless you for answering me.
@Oct 20, Present oooo!!!
@Lizzyslaw, thanx sis, I don 4get that one sef. I'm glad you like the cakes. I'm happy u showed up here.
@Udoka, the woman you saw for herbs, is she in Enugu?
@AlwaysTrue, God bless you for your prayers on our behalf.
@BerryBass, hugs sis!
@ALL, may God hear and answer our prayers speedily. Amen!

@Udoka, I'm seconding Beetle's conclusion o! And I'm just hearing about the m/c. Hugs, though I know the story ends well.
@Omonikiba, I hope someone speaks up about it. I don't know jack.
@Berrybass, I'm glad you've got it under control.
@All, I'm sooooo down! Today is CD2, was looking forward to this cycle again, only to find out that DH will be away for my fertile period I have prior commitments, so I can't travel with him. So June is out for me too. What is this now? It's not even funny, the news plus AF is making me so moody. I just locked myself in the guest room. I'm usually not this touchy o, I blame TOM.
Abeg no vex for this my rant. I just needed to vent.

@Udoka, welcome back. It's been ages.
@Safe06, na you I dey follow-very good badt geh!
@Iyabeta, how man wan do na?

@Beetle, wetin u wan make I talk na? At least as u don laff, na so Sotum go laff too, come forget that topic.
@Iyabeta, OYO is your state o! My hand no dey o. But portion control is the key. Just bake and freeze. Wrap well in foil and cling film, or in ziploc bags. That's all!
@Chokl8y, yay!!! That's it o! Make that idiot nack head for ground. Na b.as.ta.rd im be.

@Sotum2, suicide ke? My hand no dey o! I'm glad you found this forum. You are encouraged to release that tension here. We are hear to laugh, cry, gist, pray, etc. The only death you will hear about here is that of our Lord, Jesus Christ. No, you can't kill yourself. What is the diagnosis? Please share with us. We can help, as Beetle said, with prayers (AlwaysTrue, etc), health (Beloved1993, etc), medicine advise (all of us, Dr. Google), bedroom affairs (the one and only Safe06), food affairs (Dreamsinbc...LMAO). If you need to talk to another man, our big bros (Santagelo25) full ground, ever ready to help. See? We are a complete package. Please smile, be rest assured that we will help in any way we possibly can.

@BerryBass, hugs. It's about feelings now. This is why I said I can't advise you without knowing details. Do you love him? Does he love you? If you feel the answer to both questions is yes, then you have work to do. You said he's caring and sweet, so it's probably a phase. What you can do is up the ante. By that I mean your bd life, kitchen things, home generally. I firmly believe that a woman is supposed to be a)a har.l.ot in the bedroom b)a chef in the kitchen c)an entertainer in the parlour.
I might not be the right person to advice you, but I'm anti-feminism when it comes to my dh. I choose to be married, I choose to keep my home, so I have to make some sacrifices. The day I don't want to be married anymore, I'll stop caring. So I ask you, do you think your marriage is worth fighting for? If you do, then it's up to you to make yourself happy. Safe's advice is invaluable here. As in seriously. Blow his mind! Employ tactics your mother would blush about if she heard. Pls DO NOT NAG. Cook the hell out of the kitchen for him. Do things in the bedroom you have never done before. Where does he want to get the strength to go out? Even if he does, he'll come home early when he remembers his hot wife. No dulling o! Please food is essential too. New dishes. Spice up your home life. Do your part well. Above all, get down on your knees and pray. Christian? Muslim? Pray the way you know how. Ask God to take control.
If you think your marriage is worth fighting for, grab the bull by the horns. Good luck dear.
@Oct 20, thanks for checking in. Oga at the top dey o, though na me dey on the top yesterday night sha! LMAO!!! Pls try the Pizza, add more cheese. Lemme know how it went.
@All, happy Sunday. Rest well, dtd well, cook well, God bless us, everyone!

Pls, Lizzyslaw and Oct20, where una dey? Pls show ooo!
@Shithapuns, don't worry, Safe06 will stop by soon. XOXO

@Beloved1993, hugs! You said it yourself, 3 surgeries in one year is not a joke. Please kick back and relax. Enjoy your housewifism as long as you possibly can. I'm sure you'll think of something you want to do.
@Santagelo, I found a blog for you. It's a wife (her dh has a blog too, but I got more info from the wife's own). The man was born without the testosterone producing hormone, so -you guessed it- he had azoospermia. He was put on some drugs and his count went up to 1 million, then 2 million. They did IVF with ICSI and now they have twins. mommyinwaiting./about/ I hope it helps you.
Welcome @Putu4.
@berrybass, hmmm, your info is kinda incomplete o. No vex! What is causing the anger in your heart? What did he do? I can't candidly advise you to sweep it away without tackling the root, if not the resentment will continue to fester.
@Iyabeta, Santagelo's words are touching and true. Use it in combo with Safe06's manual. I'm sure he will go with you.

Na real fetch @iyabetajos. Na stream? LWKMD! My dear, no mind some men, na so dem be. It's a thing of ego to them. If the clinic no dey near your house, I don't think you should try it. Lemme ask Dr.Google sha.

@Babelicious, thanx luv. My dear e no dey do me like this always o. Maybe na that early morning spirit. Hugs
@Santagelo, thanx. Have a nice day.
@All, is the 22nd fixed? Are we fasting in accompaniment? No vex if I missed the conversation.
@Iyabetajos, hmmm. Do you mean taking the sample without his consent? I don't advise that o. What if you find out there's an issue, how do you tell him? There might be a breach of trust issue, unless you just want to know, and use style to handle it.
If, however, you mean that he just doesn't want to go to the hospital, and that you want to take the sample with his consent, then there's a way. The hospital has to be in close proximity o. Infact, from ejaculation to presentation should take not more than 20 minutes. And no sex o, he should mas.tu.r.bte. into a specimen container.

@Santagelo, hugs (I hope your wife won't mind o! Lol). I cannot wait for the day you will come here and announce that your wife is PG. May God show your doctor answers via the biopsy. I've been scouring the web since I read your reply, and I'm finding that some type of azoospermia can be treated with HSG shots. With the result of the biopsy in hand, I would love it if you could go to God personally (I know you've been doing that already), but specifically with the result in your hand. If you can, if your house affords you privacy, strip and stand in your birthday suit before God in the middle of the night. Call upon the Lord who answers with miracles. Tell Him to give you a testimony that will make your doctor marvel. You know there are testimonies that bring people to God? Tell Him to give you that kind of testimony. Go into covenant with Him, ask Him to do His part so you can do yours. Tell Him to give you the miracle by any means He chooses. It can be through your doctor (He can direct your dr to a previously unprescribed solution), it can even be through a dream.
Carry out faith actions, e.g. Buy baby things, etc. Call yourself a father, imagine yourself a father. Chai! People will envy your children. The God that answereth by fire will shock you. The Rock of Ages, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, He will make you fruitful. Ha! Don't you know you are created in his image and likeness Whatever the diagnosis, tell God you have done your part, challenge Alagbada Ina! Santagelo, I know in my heart, even you will be amazed by what God will do. You will tell people 'I asked for something, but God gave me overdose' Jehovah over do, please look upon your son, look upon your daughters here, bless us ALL with that with our hearts desire most. Let people know that You can never change!

I apologise for the long post. Na so e do me to write. No vex abeg!
@Omonikiba, welcome back. We were waiting for you to come back to start declaring our BFPs. We didn't want you to have to read back. LMAO!

Hi Meddler, the longest I've kept it is 2 days at room temperature. I've never had the chance to try it for longer than that.

@MamaT, Iya want wetin you want oooo! Me sef want am. Complete family at once. Una like beta tinz. @Santagelo, I think the vitamins you are taking are on point. Personally, I think you should do your own part and leave the rest for God. Your own part being following your doctor's orders. There is nothing that says you can't pray and fast while receiving medical attention. I really don't know too much about the Tasly stuff, apart from that bee pollen contains zinc which is good for your swimmers, and ginseng is good too. I hope you aren't offended, but may I ask what the issue is? What made your doctor recommend testicular biopsy?
You are in our thoughts and prayers. You will carry your children, and I'm sure you will make a wonderful father.

Chi16, happy wedding anniversary. No wound somebody o!

@AlwaysT, thanx as usual.
@Chi16, happy wedding anniversary in advance. Pls try to have as much fun as you possibly can. Let TTC be the farthest thing from your mind...till night. Lol. For further lessons on the night aspect, I refer you to Safe06's manual. May God grant your heart's desires. @GloriousGod, thanx for sharing that.

@Meddler, the simple buttercream icing we make ie American Buttercream always tends to be gritty. The only thing you can do is beat the heck out of it. It's my least favourite. Have you tried Swiss Meringue BC?

@Goldenbaby, I bought EPO here, in Abuja, for N2,400.
@Twingirls, I'm glad you tried and liked it! It's safer to look for cinnamon sticks, you grind them by yourself. I get them here in Park n Shop.
@Beetle, hugs dear. You made me smile. Thanxxxxx

Tbaby, abeg add am!
@All, If you have issues with EWCM, pls add EPO and Robitussin. They work differently. EPO produces CM, while Robitussin makes it thinner, thereby making it easier to carry sp.er.m. EPO can be started the day AF ends, then Robitussin, 5 days before O. Lots of water, green tea too.
While we are at it, we can look up honey and cinnamon. Also Pineapple core from 3dpo-5dpo. If possible, castor oil pack immediately after AF.
Pls don't only rely on ovulation kits (although Clearblue is cool. If you can get the fertility monitor, that's fine. It's much cheaper than the individual tests. You just get the monitor and order lots of strips) If you aren't already temping, pls let's try to. Also, pls check out your cervical position (if you want o!), if we can track follicles, that would be beautiful. Wahala dey!!! Power MUST change hands!
Remember your vitamins, I find Pregnacare conception is good, but it gives me false pg symptoms sometimes. Consult your ob/gyn
.
However, all these steps will be fruitless if we don't commend it to God first. My sisters, regardless of religion, let's ask the Almighty to remember us, to put smiles on our faces, to prove Himself mighty to people around us. One of my friends told me that after she and her dh dtd, they sing praises and dance (in their birthday suits!) She's convinced that's what worked for her after 5 years of marriage.

Let's also not forget the kitchen, no knead bread at www.frostedbakeshopng..com

@Jummy4real, I don't know of any in Naija, but I'm sure people who might know will soon come by to answer.
@Berrybass, just like that? U jus vex waka? Abeg na! Answer us na. Pls what made u decide to take time off ttc?

Berry, y na? We just felt you took a personal decision after thinking long and hard. How we for do na? We understand the need to take time off and relax. Abeg, no vex. Forgive us please. For this forum, na one kettle for all mallams. No vex abeg

Tbaby, hugs!

@Chokl8y, hugs! Chin up, head high. Don't pay the slightest attention to whoever it was. I'm glad that you've identified that it's the devil at work. Your testimony is nearer than you think!

Welcome @Rashybabe and Toyin. Toyin, I hope someone who knows about it comes along. I pray you guys don't tarry here, Amen!
