So, everything went on normally throughout the first week, I went to work with the normal pregnancy symptoms. I was told to go for a scan and they discovered heat beat, by then I was already 6weeks gone.
One week later, on Monday I noticed that the pregnancy symptoms has reduced, so I decided to go for another scan in another hospital on my own. The man said the heartbeat is not all that strong, and so it's a threatened abortion.
Threatened abortion ke, I went to the hospital the next day - a teaching hospital, they said doctors are on strike, I went to their emergency O&G. Their reply was they can't attend to me because it isn't an emergency because I'm not bleeding. Aha, what's this now, I said I'm seeing brown discharge you are telling me until I bleed. They eventually wrote series of test, I did the test but never went back with the result.
I was told to repeat scan after two weeks, the two weeks was very long, so I repeated scan that Friday evening and it was early fetal demise. Jesus, I didn't really cry that particular day because it hasn't dawn on me what happened.
Monday I went back to the teaching hospital and they said they will do evacuation. Evacuation ke, after serious thinking I decided to go on Tuesday for evacuation to avoid infection.

They delayed us till evening, I eventually entered the theatre. The doctors were not friendly, the one that wrote the materials to use didn't write the correct ones, hubby had to go to buy the correct ones. Paid for blood and for the procedure

The pain was out of this world, I couldn't cry, tears weren't coming out....

This rain on Monday morning will cause enough traffic o. I don't like early morning rain in Lagos at all.
I didn't get to work on time this morning because of traffic.


One thing I've learnt on this journey is that, I won't let this situation keep me down, I'll keep on developing my faith in God, because I'm very sure faith in God works.

Also, I won't stop developing my career. I'm a teacher, YES! I've been able to develop myself in various ways, I make sure I learn new things always. Late last year I started brushing up my programming skills, early this year o started learning how to drive. Thanks to DH, he has always been supportive.
While I wait, I'll keep learning new things, keep getting better, keep developing my faith in God.

I tried another cycle of clomid in July 2021, I went for follicular tracking, no be small money o, three times. The third time, the scan said the follicles is yet to rupture, I was sad. In my mind I feel like that month has gone again. One thing is, when I'm down about this issue, I can be down for days, crying, but I will eat o. Even if it's small. During all these process, I placed myself on natural food, stopped taking soft drinks and fast foods.

So, in my mind I was like July is gone. During that period, the boss I was working for relocated, so it means I didn't have a job. I started submitting CV. About the time I was meant to see my menses, it didn't come. I felt like it's a normal thing when it's time it will come. But I noticed implantation bleeding, I thought it was just a normal menses.
I noticed I was purging almost everyday but I thought it's because of the water I was drinking. That was how I finished August o, no menses, I refused to do pregnancy test.
You know there's a feeling you have when you do pregnancy test and it's negative. I can cry for days, so I decided that I was not going to test again until I'm very sure.
But I was purging, feeling cramps, still I didn't test.
September 13th, I started a new job. September 1st, we started fasting and prayer in church, I joined.

Around September 22nd, Saturday morning I decided to test, because I saw blood, so I told a doctor who said it's likely an infection, so I bought ciprotab. That Saturday morning, I decided to test before starting the ciprotab since I don't even like taking drugs, that was how I entered bathroom o and alas, I saw two red lines.

I didn't believe. I quietly left the bathroom, went to where my husband was, showed him the test and said this is what I saw o, but I'm not sure. I tested again still two lines, I didn't believe. I wanted to do blood test. I called a church member and she told me she will do the blood test for me the next day, and Viola I was confirmed pregnant. It was unbelievable.
What I thought its still going to take time, happened just like that, I was happy. Hubby was happy. That was how I became a pregnant woman o. On Friday before I tested, I noticed I didn't feel like eating boiled eggs but I thought it was a normal thing.

Please I need your comment so that I can continue

I did HSG, almighty HSG. Although not painful as I thought and the result was fine. That was in February 2021.
I kept confessing the word of God. One thing I'm very sure of is that God's word can't fail, I'm sure of that one.
Fast forward to May 2021, we had a special program in church and I joined, I prayed with my own heart. I even got names for my babies. I like twins so I'm trusting God for twins. Initially I love identical twins, two girls, hubby want two boys. Eventually I settled for a boy and a girl. I have names for them already.

Doctor prescribed clomid for me in June, the first cycle want successful that was June. I didn't feel really bad but I still felt bad. I went for convention in July still trusting God for my miracle, my twins. I came back, menses came again. I was sad a little but I kept holding on to God's word.
July again, I tried another cycle of clomid. This time around something happened....




Hope I tried a little, I'm not a writer anyways

I've learnt something on this journey

Don't think people waiting for fruit of the womb don't have responsibilities, they do. Tests upon tests, money for medication and all that. They may even be spending money than those that have children already.

Please check on people. Be friendly with people. Stop making insensitive comments around people.

So, I got married December 2020 after COVID-19 lockdown. It was a modest wedding and one of the interesting day of my life. Family members were present, people came from far and near to attend my wedding. What an interesting day!
Everything went well to God's glory and I return all the glory to Him.

I married as a virgin because I believe sexual purity is very important according to the Bible, so I kept myself for my husband.

That month was a very interesting month. New bride, holiday period, good husband and everything, things were very smooth. Marriage is sweet o, especially when you marry the right person.
After the euphoria of the event, reality begin to creep in. January, I didn't see my period, I was happy small, abi I'm pregnant ni, lest wait and see. Malaria also show face, menses no come, that was how I carried myself to lab o for pregnancy test. But alas it was negative, I said okay no problem.
February menses no come, wetin dey happen na! My friend that married in October called me say she don pregnant o, tor, wetin I wan do.
One thing about this journey is that you don't have power over it, if you do you can easily use your hand to take the sperm and egg, but you can't.
Naso I carry myself go hospital o, doctor wrote test: hormonal profile, almighty HSG. I asked Doctor Google about HSG, some say it's painful, others said it's not. Long story short I did all the test. HSG result was okay, hormonal profile- hmmmm, it's well.






Pls I need your comment.

Waiting period sometimes is not easy, but what are we going to do, we keep moving, we keep going.
Yes, I've just been married for two years and some months, someone may say it's too early, but you know what, it's not easy.
I'm not good at writing, but I hope I'll be able to get my mind out on this page.
Your comments are highly appreciated

I created this topic in diary section. But I want to move it here for comments.

I believe I'll come back very soon to share my testimony on this same page.
