If an Emergency Travel Certificate (ETC) is required for an infant without a Nigerian passport, or for an adult whose passport is either lost or expired, please visit our website - www.nigeriahouse.com. click on 'Consular Services', then click on 'other' in the drop-down menu and follow the instructions to apply for an ETC, indicating your wish to be on the next Evacuation flight. This will enable our officials to issue the ETC with dates corresponding with any next Evacuation flight.

In the meantime, please be patient and stay safe.����❤

We need a lot of people in order for a 3rd evacuation flight to be arranged by the embassy ASAP

chibertha : pls i want to be added to the whatsapp group. sent you a pm

i understand the ETC applies for the nigerian end, what of the american end, since the babys US passport isnt out yet, would the baby be allowed to board the flight with birth certificate only?.

No U.S. citizen can use a birth certificate as identification to travel internationally by air, although the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) may accept a birth certificate as a secondary identification document for domestic air travel. It is important to note that a valid passport book is the only document accepted as proof of identity for international air travel, no matter where one is flying to or from.

pls, dont read and pass

Chiowerri:
Hello All,

I had my baby April 11 in LA. I'm back home in Lagos and still recovering from the hustle of the trip. This trip was a big testimony for me and my baby.

When am able to type my 10 page story i will post.

wow, we are all ears to hear o....

Adabenu:
I am in Chicago, already had my baby. Waiting for Airports to open.

quote author=Niksie post=90207232]Hello mamas,

Please is there any expecting mum in Chicago or if you have had your baby recently in Chicago. I’ll like to connect with you pls.

how did you go about getting their passports, since the passport offices are closed due to covid

missyblissy:



You have to order it oooo


Just notice that as from one year parents are responsible for the vaccine of their kids oooo. If you are using govt hospital, please note that from 12 months the govt clinic will only give you vitamin A. It more than that ooo. I paid 32k for vaccine for my baby last week and this week will pay extra 7500 for second dose of cholera vaccine. It is so expensive except where your hmo can cover some of the cost and these vaccines are very important oooo

pls, do you have the complete chart/listing for vaccinations from birth till 1year.. i have seen some online, but i want actual/real world experiences

FloraEC:

Your mum is right but not because baby will crave water but to avoid constipation

what of a baby being given both formular and breast milk, should water still be given to the baby?

angeltolly:


By stooling, you mean the poo sink completely inside the diaper? Or how do you describe the consistency of the poo and how frequent?

It at some point s soaked into the diaper and then was like egusi soup when I gave her colic calm.

welldone mamas.
for a baby under 8wks stooling frequently.
is there a home rememdy for it?
corona is making me not want to go to hospital that much, so i prefer exhausting all reasonable options first.
if the stooling continues for over 24hrs, guess i would hv no option but to go to hospital

i suspect breast milk may hv caused it, but its Over 10hrs since their last breast milk meal , and its still yet to stop.
pls dont read and pass

chintes:


Thanks I've taken all sorts, for a while it has been changing, 28, 29, 31,32, pls what should I do or take to increase the progesterone because my gynae said the result is okay but I was not satisfied his response,
Also pls what test is done to determine if I ovulate, thanks

i think vit b6 helps.other sabi mamas can confirm how it shud be taken,

baby aspirin 80mg taken from ovu day til bfp or bfn also helps

follicular tracking/tvs is the only way to know for sure you ovulated, start from 3 to 4 days b4 ur usual ovu day...

chintes:
Pls can someone explain this result to me though doctor said I m okay, but I just noticed on the result "progesterone low for mid lutel phase", is there anything I need to work on?
FSH 11m (4-20)
LH 14ml (4-20)
Prolactin 21ng/ml (6-24)
Progesterone 6.5ml (5-36)

progesterone is low, you likely didnt ovulate last cycle, or are not ovulating at all. follow up with a tvs during your next cycles ovulation window. .how long is your cycle?
also follow up with egg and ovulation boosting supplements

hello awesome mothers. any tips or remedy to encourage babies to turn and position well?. edd is fast approaching and the twins are yet to assume a good position. doc is already recommending c section,

Mandela89:
thanks, doctors said progesterone are given from week 12, the miscarriage normally occurs in week 4 to 8

i dont think you heard correctly, if truly thats what the doctor said, then he is not well informed, and if he isnt well informed about simple matters, is it big matters, i would trust him on

i will walk away and find another good doc,
progesterone is administered once preganacy is confirmed, till 12weeks, cos the placenta is formed by 12weeks, and the body thus begins its natural production of progesterone, so no need to supplement. progesterone is expensive o. and you shud never start and stop until 12wks has elapsed. so mek sure the funds is ready, the common one is the insertibles, you insert once or twice daily vaginally or anally, injectibles are more effective, but more expensive as well...

poor man progesterone is baby aspirin, 81mg aspirin, taken once daily, from ovulation or bfp

Flourishing19:
Rant
Today is my supposed ovulation day but DH and I are fed up. We have been dtd every 3 days but this evening, oga said he didn't feel like. Both of us are pressing our phones now. In as much as I am fed up, I don't want to miss tonight's opportunity. And again, I have being searching for ewcm but I haven't seen any. Just confused.
Baby dust to us all

its normal to feel that way, to reduce the stress, best to start bding 4 days before ovulation, also to keep the sperm fresh, try to bd 4days again, before the beginning of the 4 days b4 ovulation, hope you understand what i mean.
ie if your ovu is say cd 15, best u bd on cd 8...rest/conserve your energy, then bd on cd 11/12 and then every other day till ovulation.

Dhollargurl:


She didn’t ask if I would use it for pregnancy, she said for medicals, but then you have a point, I wasn’t even thinking along that line because I am not pregnant at the moment and don’t know when I’ll be cos I am not even trying. All this is just an afterthought. I was with my husband and we just blurted the No, cos it’s only for 3 weeks.

hi, sent you pm. need your help in clarifying something

Blessedone26:




Thanks for your reasonable input. The place is totally locked plus we've made upto 50% progress after that bros donald post... The issue she actually had was her mother. The only sex education she got was that sex is painful. I only came here to ask if I could use sedative without side effect. A little thrust, I get scared when goes silent in pains, I will have to back out a bit cos she's acting like sometime that wants to faint. Got to be calling her name different times. What do I tell people, woman got silent under me?.

use red wine instead, irish cream or baileys in addition to donald3ds option or the finger option

fbabs:

I will appreciate your reply

your sperm is ok, go and BD well, however high pus cell is seen, which is indicative of infection, it may be a new infection as your sperm parameters is still ok, and if untreated, will drag your sperm down. we have said this a 1000 times here, always do sfa & mcs !!!

Glurssymum:
First time post. Please mommies and mommies to be in the house. Help a sister. I have been married for 5yrs plus and have not recorded any conception. I have been taking all kinds of fertility treatment both English and herbal. In 2016, after a convincing treatment by the herbal man yet no pregnancy, he advised I bring my hubby for examination. Knowing who hubby is, I knew he would never take herbal drugs, so I told the man my hubby can never come here no matter what. So he advised we go for semen analysis. I told hubby about it, though he refused at first later he accepted. My fellow mommies, results has it that there is no live cells in Hubby's semen. We doubted this and went for four different lab tests, all came out same. We then went went to a fertility hospital where he was diagnosed of non obstructive azoospermia. We were then advised to go for sperm donor or adoption. Though, the gynae still placed him on fertility drugs. From 2016 till date lab results still come out same(no live cells in semen: zero million sperm count).Please has anyone succeeded in treating this in the past. I need to have my own child mommies. Please your advise will be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long post

Meet another urologist, probablly in a teaching hospital in your location. i doubt this NON obstructive azoospermia diagnosis. a 2nd opinion would be good

The 3 only worked morphology/little count increase to my dh. Letrozole worked better so far but motility was too poor. Fertilsan M improved motility better so far.
Though it's been over a year we tested and God just gave us a surprise.

yes, due to different metabolism/make up, people react differently to different drugs. the trick is to try a drug faithfully for about 4months..go for sfa...and decide if its working or not, then try another drug if its not working or continue if it is

Monmarri:
Hello house I am in a long distance marriage and I am going to visit my wife for two weeks, I want to confirm if it is possible for the doctor to take my sperm and froze it, then when my wife is ready for the IVF , then the doctor can use it. Is this possible? BC I have to go back to work to enable me get paid.

Moreso my wife got a good job recently, is it possible for her to be working and going through the IVF? Will this affect her new job?

Lastly my wife have multiple Fibroids but very small, can she do IVF with it without operating it? I will appreciate responses. Thank you

YES, YOUR SPERM can be frozen and used when needed, without you being around
yeah, your wife can e working , just take 3 to 5 days off and take it easy after the embryo transfer

@ fibroids, depends on location and size, many women hv concieved with fibroids, let your doctor decide, afetr explaining/analysis it with you

Questiontime:
Dear House, please who can recommend a good drug to increase sperm motility. A test showed Motility of 20%, sluggish of 30%and dead 50% on a 2ml sperm count. I used a drug called fertile aid for 3monthd but the result is still poor. Thank you.

are you sure you took the complete fertile aid combo y fairhaven made up of the following
1. fertile aid
2. motility boost
3. count boost

many people cos of cost or ignorance take only fertile aid, and complain of no result/improvement

EngrSarah:
Hello mamas/papas in the house. Great job with this thread...I have been on the ttc thread for sometime now but I decided to look for an IVF thread because it seems like my best option right now.

My questions then are:
1. Would the issue of having no normal shaped semen not also affect the success rate of the IVF
2. Has anyone on this thread (or anyone you know) done IVF in the US? Need to ask some questions
3. Any general advise for me and my issues

ivf is the usa is usually from 25k usd , and success isnt guaranteed,, depends on your schedule, if you guys can come down to nigeria, with jjust a fraction of that amount, you will do your ivf in a good place with high chances, OLIVE BRANCH/GEORGES/LILY etc..i learnt they offer pgd and other pre-transfer emryo tests as well.

UgoFly:
A male asking on behalf of a female. Please who has used and can testify on the effect of stc 30 drugs for fertility

genuie testimonies are hard to see, why not try it for a few months...and see for yourself..
stc 30 seems to contain high amounts of antioxidants..wch is good for fertility and the human body in general

Mummy4life1:
Ma'ams,

I beg make na help me put mouth.

My cerclage procedure was successful but still on bed rest due to severe back pain. I was told it will go after some days. Taking some medicine such as paracetamol

Did any ma'am experience the same after the procedure.

this cerlage matter, is it routine for multiple pregnancy?
the 2 places i registered for antenatal hv different opinions, 1 insists..says its routine for multiple births, another says, its not necessary for me. so am a little confused. from the lil research i did, they say if ur cervix length is short, that cerlage is recommended, guess i would get them to measure it on the next visit

Nicejo:
Good morning house and happy new week. We took this test of semen analysis on our own, please Mama's and Papa's in the house should help go through the result to know if everything is fine.
Thanks in advance.

oga carry go, nothing do you. the semen is quite good, can impregnate the whole of ibeju lekki .

however eat more fruits and antioxidants to maintain and even improve on it

THE SPERM is fair, it could impregnate a ferile woman, though its not optimum, you should try and boost it. take fruits , antioxidants, vit e/c zinc etc.
it appears u didnt do mcs, that would hv told us if you have infection or not, cos sometimes, they say infection causes poor semen qualities

IyawoToBe:


Between 1200-1500 you'd get something decent.

Is it true that the VO's dont like airbnb accomodation, that they prefer hotels. for people coming to give birth?

Ginababy, sorry about your lose. God will comfort you. It is well dear.

Favouredgal and mamas who had dropped congrats, God bless your Los.

Am sorry I don't post regularly, just need all the time I can gather to rest.

Is it normal to see small mucus during wipe? Am just 22weeks gone. Was scared when I saw it this night.

Somebody talk to me I beg experienced mothers.

Did scan yesterday and all was fine, tommorow will be busy in the clinic would have gone to complain.

Those with twins, please did you have a cervical cerlage? I don't have o and hope am fine.

seems OP has deactivated, am interested in this issue of cerlage. is it standard procedure for the doctor to insist on cerlage, once multiple embryos is detected?
