Hi Good eve to all dear sis & members,
I'm a to be Jan-17 mom God willing (So far it is a normal 1st pregnancy without any complications),having B1/B2 multiple entrty visa till 2020(But not used it yet).currently living in UAE & wish a better passport(USA) for my baby..this is the only forum I hope to help & guide me.Pls

I believe you guys are mentioning Delivery in visa/CBP on medical ground to avail better medical care, But living in UAE & having UAE-insurance I cant say this...I'm confused that to hide my pregnancy or tell the truth to CBP/Embassy in advance?(& if to hide, which is best time to travel & what to tell to CBP?

& I have no family/friends in USA as such but I can afford delivery there, Any guidance which is best & most economical place in US for this?
If any1 from UAE have done it Pls PM me..
Regards & well wishes to all.

I live in the gulf and I had my visa prior to being pregnant. I wasn't asked why I wanted to give birth in the US but i was armed with twins, high risk pregnancy and better facility reasons and if that wasn't enough, I had the card of my mum coming in to help (we landed on the same flight but she originated from nigeria) but won't be able to get a quick visit visa into the gulf during the period I needed her and I can't go back to Nigeria cos of the high risk pregnancy.

September to remember . ..He has indeed crowned our year with goodness

RipVanWink:
@kingsdaughter, congrats on ur testimony,

so having large nos of eggs is a sign of hyper stimulation?, u know how this translates to bfn in ivf??.
my dw had 24egs, 12 fertilized and 6 made it to day 5, 3 was transferred, yet bfn.

doctors didnt know/tell us the cause for the bfn, am wondering if they knew and hid the info from us

In addition to what ladyG said no one can actually tell you what caused bfn in IVF you can only speculate. I had more than 24 eggs last time can't recall the precise amount only 3 survived till day 5 and only one stuck amids the severe OHSS. From what I read it's even better to wait out the cycle when hyper stimulation is detected because it becomes worse with the increase in HCG. About 1.5 liters of water had to be drained out from my stomach daily through a process called paracentesis for almost a week even when the transfer had occurred. So it all depends on each individual's body reaction. That I got a big after that experience was a big miracle. Baby dust!!!

@everyone thanks for welcoming me. May God honor each and everyone of us. ATC sisters we are waiting for you.
Omojudy I don come back o na you draw me out

Crawls out from the hole where I've been hiding. Thank you captain sugah for porting and leaving us o.
Anyway I have come to make your dreams come true. #twins alert you finally have your september twins at least i wont run away thats for sure now
Pushing slowly and steadily
#7 years of waiting
#Drags the golden chair no time to take permission too much standing is bad for the health but chief Mrs Zaynie I hail you specially I need those your dollars at the moment.
Faithful God keeping me strong each day
I hail all the mamas in the house and those who keep the house while we lazy ones keep quiet thanks for being here always

I'm back to my first constituency......Its been a long journey. After the loss of my very first pregnancy, as fate would have it we relocated to one of the countries in Asia. I decided to go see the doctor and start all over. With God on our side we went through a cycle of ICSI the doctor kept on reassuring me I wont be hyperstimulated cos that was my greatest fear. She kept checking through the assey of estradiol test. according to my doctor if it passd 3000 on the day of my test which I recall was a day to taking shots to release the eggs she would stop the cycle cos it would pass the 4000 range after the hcg shot which was definitely hyperstimulation. The cycle wasnt certain till the result came out. PCOS nor easy

To the glory of God about 9 eggs were collected as against 20 something of the nigerian cycle 3 transferred and I couldn't freeze because of some useless laws in that country and 2 stuck. The road has been rough ( red blood scare gushing out like mp around the 6,7 and 8th week, precautionary cerclage, baby A loving to go hit his head on the cerclage causing more scare... but i asked God for Mercy cos my faith nor carry am. They are my children of Mercy cos I realised the real meaning of 'its not of him that willeth or runneth but God that showeth mercy '

I came to share this testimony for someone who might be low at this time this is our 7th year of marriage and He's still in the business of making things beautiful. Thanks to oldies keeping the thread alive Wonyi, RipVanWInk, DonaTee and everyone still looking up to him ....God will visit you in a mighty way.

@LadyGuinivere I don't know where to start your prayers from....I know how much help you render daily on the other thread but I pray that God will answer you beautifully soon and you will testify

Our miracles and testimonies shall be permanent.

Women of Faith !! I hail o. Its been a while though I peep every now and then.
Just wanted to let you know God isn't tired of doing miracles yet. We are all alive to see the Month of March all thanks to him. For those whose IVF was a BFN we bless God for Life and strength to go through the cycle, For those of us who have had a miscarriage thank God say na water commot bucket nor break. For those Pushing He who has promised is faithful and will keep you till the very end.

He is still God and he makes all things beautiful in His time!

@aye88 how have you been? you've been quiet abi your adorable one has landed?

Madam Phema of life this sarcasm nor get part 2.

lioha:
All of a sudden my LO @beat stopped at 25 weeks and there was nothing I could do. For the little time i spent with him, my joy was countless. But God knows the best RIP.

Mama's thanks for your wonderful advices and suggestions, you are one in a million God bless you all.

I was hoping for a good news. A good news from you. Holding on to God to grant a happy ending to your story. At least if my LO was too young to make it yours should be able to pull through. But you know God knows best. It's really been a turbulent January but this is only the beginning of the year. It takes a second for God to perform his Miracle. I pray that God grants you more strength and peace than he has bestowed on me this past few days. My consolation ...He has opened up my womb after 5 years of marriage and His will be done despite the loss ...He is still God.

Find your place Of quiet and mourn your LO.....This too shall pass..... He makes all things beautiful in His time and he will come through for us. Sending you hugs

Our little star has gone to be with the Lord. He was a beautiful boy at 15 weeks and 6 days. My amniotic fluid drained out. I had never heard of it before. Its called PPROM and my cervix was fully closed. And as at when I met the doctor he saw no water but baby was still breathing. He advised we terminate to prevent infections or an abnormal baby cos the lungs haven't matured enough. I had to go through labour. It was a terrible way to start the new year.
I know God makes all things beautiful in His time and he will come through for us.

mumihaja:
@kingsdaughter, i know that area, how many months did the test take pls? cos we want to try again this month cos my gynae gave us october -december to try on our own....is it somtin i will start as soon as af shows up?

The tests was all under a month but we didn't start the procedure immediately. We waited for almost 2 months after the test cos we were not around

mumihaja:
@kingsdaughter, my gynae suggested i do ICSI in Gynaescope, am glad to know you did yours there, can you please give me details of the procedure, what to expect including the cost? i just want to have an idea of what to expect before going there and i seriously dont know where it is located though my gynae promised to take us there when we are ready and even ask for a discount for us but i still need to have an idea of the cost estimate before we go there.

The cost for all the initial tests was 91,000 . IVF is 890,000 ICSI is + 65,000 extra. We tried to get a discount but we couldn't. Not even 1Naira was deducted. It is somewhere off Eliozu, donno if you know where Diplomats Assembly is. Hope this helps.

Dear VO,

I was wondering what location in Nigeria I would select on the first page of the DS160 form "Select a location where you will be applying for this visa" dropdown menu since I would be applying via Drop box in Port Harcourt.

Thanks in anticipation of your response.

Phema o phema! Our phema of life ! We bless God for the wonderful birth story of your son. You are one strong woman. I was beginning to wonder where you disappeared to for somedays. You son looks do adorable. I just love the hair.Mummy Phema did a great job. Make i begin dey book son -in law down for the future

Time flies....I just remembered this thread now !! and its exactly a year already! you guys must be popping champagne now. Happy birthday to your baby!

chloe7:
it can be done in Lagos now once there's evidence of marriage and proper documentation, newspaper announcements and the rest, walk into any immigration office or call the person you know, I went to the alausa passport office for that 2 weeks ago and they told me that.

Are you serious? I have been holding on to the passport with my maiden name for 5 yrs now simply because I cant imagine myself booking ticket, risking my life, wasting my money to change the surname on my passport when it is not like the name is biting me on the passport where it is.

That would be a welcome development o cos honestly, I have vowed that if they don't decentralize this thing na so I go dey renew passport each time it expires or I run out of pages.

gingerspice:

Thanks so much dear, truly I had given up on everything.i haven't even prayed since the day I knew it failed. I've been in this limbo of emotions pain,anger and general numbness. Slowly coming out of the grief I feel. Thanks again. Soon all will be well

@gingerspice it is well with you. I know the feeling of disappointment and anger can be overwhelming sometimes let me share a part of my testimony with you. just before egg retrieval, I noticed my lower abdomen was really aching I just tot maybe it is normal. It was so painful I had to look around to see those that came for scan everyone was looking happy and normal- I told yourself see your mates ! Fast forward till egg retrieval day I was there from about 7am till 6pm why? Because I couldn't just stand up and I was like 'my mates'have left the hospital since 12 I am still here. It took one throwing up session for me to gather strength to walk into the car. Days after egg retrieval I had no mates around to check to see if they were uncomfortable and having tommyaches as well. I just told myself it would be over in a couple of days. I started calling 'my mates' again to find out if all I was feeling was normal That was just the beginning.

My sister, 3 days later I just woke my husband up early in the morning that I knew I was going to die that day he should just call them in the hospital to let them know we were coming I felt like hell. Our transfer was in 2 days but that was the least of things on my mind. The next 72 hours all I was doing was calling on God to spare my Life even as the transfer was done in the midst of this and the doctor kept on assuring me My embies would be fine and severe OHSS doesn't affect their growth or attachment. Na that one I dey talk?? I say make I just feel normal again I couldn't sleep without being induced to sleep. From 5.00pm I would have started lobbying for sleeping injection. meanwhile 'my mates' walked in on transfer day and walked out to go home. I had a procedure called paracentesis and I spent days in pain draining water from my 6months pregnant-looking stomach.


Why I am saying all of this- I was also in a limbo of emotion pain anger and discomfort. Sometimes I was in anger and when I couldn't sleep I would beg my husband to lay his hands on my stomach and pray. Why was I angry?-cos I had given up on the embies transferred, we had spent so much and this unexpected wahala just started which meant spending more, why did God have to make me go through the Wahala? At least I have read here pple going for IVF, ICSI no stories are they not'my ttc mates' why was I different? I had been through enough I just wanted to be well. Though the process was slow, I healed slowly and got my BFP! In retrospect I don't think I would have been more hurt if I went through all that pain and suffering and I didn't have a good news. I just thank God for life and Good health cos 1 single morning sickness like this I nor get. Instead Na chop I dey chop. It ended in praise for me !! @gingerspice, Ladyguniverse, itissettled3 and every other
mum to be on this thread-
IT WILL SURELY END IN PRAISE FOR YOU!! AMEN

Sorry for my epistle
