Preggymum:
hmmm. Thanks ma. Trying to be strong. Am still looking for where to remove chocolate cyst in Lagos before going back to joje. I just can't do donor eggs at my age.

Seen now?

Lagbenjo:



I used to think this mockery of a thing is a thing of one's mind until our landlord said the same thing to me last year November 2021. l was really pained to the marrow . I didn't take it lightly with him and his family since last year November, even after insulting him back immediately. I really did not let them have peace of mind despite being a tenant in their house. Later, he first told my hubby to tell me that he was sorry , he was still feeling big to come to me .When he saw that I didn't take "sent sorry", It was just last week that he apologised to me, but I still tell God to deal with him sha so as to show others lesson.

Hugs

Perculiar:
Sorry about your failed cycles, I will suggest you include intraliped drip before next transfer that was the game changer for me after 3 failed implantation attempt. Even with the fibroid I have had two successful pregnancies.

Did you just request it from your doctor or what?

Preggymum:
Wow! Thanks to God. It's like everybody here has moved to pregnancy forum. Congratulations everyone. God remember me that is left in Jesus name.

Amen.
How are you holding up?

Where can I do IVF gender selection and how much does it cost

As at last year the minimum cost was 3.5m.
And all big ivf clinics give the service.

Let me share a rather hilarious but stressful Surrogate's transaction I had.
I run a surrogacy agency. I am mainly based in Abuja and Lagos. Earlier this year I got a message from a lady let's call her Victoria. She was Abuja based and wanted to be a Surrogate. I began communicating with her. Some days later I see a text on my phone from her number which I had not saved. It sounded romantic. I didn't realise it was her number so I thought "who is this again?"

Then she called with the number and I blasted her her telling her how unprofessional and weird that text was and I do not think I should work with her anymore. She begged and apologised. I then went further to tell her that I had no Abuja vacancies either. She said she will come to Lagos. I told her I neither had accommodation nor assurance of Lagos, she said no problem. I said No. I was really getting bad feelings about her.

A month later I was in Lagos and I get a call from her saying she was in Lagos and wanted to come to my office and I was like seriously?
Well she did appear. She met another Surrogate applicant the day she came in. After a regular briefing, I take them both to the diagnostic center for pre tests as part of their application process. She obviously gets the other lady's contact. Her pre tests were OK. I put her in transport to go to her place and I will get back to her. She began making entreaties requests with her eyes like a lover for transport fare home. I cleared her or thought I did.
Victoria, you knew what you requested for when you insisted on doing this etc. She was really embarrassing me. An hour later, she calls me to tell me how she was stranded returning home and a stranger had to borrow her money.

At that point I really should have cut off things despite cost of tests I had spent. Nonetheless I continued. Maybe out of sympathy for the sacrifice she has put to get to Lagos.
After she had passed our other accessement tests and she started treatment in the fertility clinic she began writing complaining about her accommodation and her host that she was being almost killed that I should find place for her to stay. Mam what is this? You are not pregnant yet, be grateful for your host, put your head down and manage the place.
Then she calls the other Surrogate she met, tries to use her mum in Uyo to guilt trip her to beg her to move in with her.
She writes and complains and I eventually had to restrict her number.

One day I offer her a single room telling her she will pay for it indirectly but when or if she is pregnant she will get a real accommodation. Aunty say no except its flat and in her area that she wants to find a job that do I know how she has been feeding? I say wow.
Then one day at the hospital still on pre transfer medication, she says she saw vacancy for cleaner in same hospital and applied and got the job etc.

Victoria are you reasoning well at all? How can you be a Surrogate and a cleaner? Where is the rest? Didn't we discuss this? And even where you want to do ivf? She starts with the complain of I don't know how she is feeding. I threaten to change her at the center. The process continues. I had to send her money for anti malaria one day as directed by the clinic, she didn't buy it for days and I had to force her to buy it by insisting on pictures.

Transfer was around the corner, she was given last dose of drugs, then she starts another round of complains about how they told her to eat well, how will I solve it? How the drugs make her eat too much, how will I solve it?

Then one day she says "the matron said I am cancelled, that they saw blood". Victoria, what happened really? She cannot explain.

Well, the matron saw her as irrational as I would in her shoes(she mentioned the cleaner job to her and blames the matron till today for not letting her take the job saying she reported her to union that she is a Surrogate for a person there etc), yes she saw blood but that could be worked on as has been done in similar cases in the past and all things put together with the IP decided to change the Surrogate yes even without informing me so I lost money.

I lost a client, money and wasted time but I don't regret her being cancelled. The stress was already this much at this stage, imagine if pregnancy occurred!

Oh she writes me everyday now with forwarded daily greetings, she once asked me if I will see another IP to link her up to. I am like seriously? When I am not on ment.

Beautiful day to you.

I need an extra hand to help in the house with the kids. They attend day care from 8pm till 6pm. Buy your ticket, free accommodation, feeding and monthly allowance for the three years. Just prepare them for school and prepare them for bedtime.

I bin wan invite someone but i have serious doubts . When dem reach here now dem go change am for person. Begin tell you say na enjoy dem com enjoy for America. Na that time you go know sey dem get relative for another state.

Nigerians are like cobra. When dem never get wetin dem want,dem go humble dey call you Sir Sir Sir two million times a day. Once they achieve their target dem go turn to vampire and wont think twice about destroying your life here.

I go manage. Na for a season ojare.

Ekweremadu is innocent. He clearly stated what he wanted to do in the visa application . That the boy was a donor for his sick daughter.

The issue is the age falsification allegation. But Boys BVN records and immigration records match.

I totally agree with you on this one. Let me tell a collaborating story but this time with surrogacy as I run a surrogacy agency.

I am mainly based in Abuja and Lagos. Earlier this year I got a message from a lady let's call her Victoria. She was Abuja based and wanted to be a Surrogate. I began communicating with her.

MineMK:
Hello Sabi mama! My heart is heavy! All in all 14yrs trying to have children of my own. In my 40 and 2nd marriage. I am a good person and a believer! I was believing miracle would happen b4 now (Yes miracle does happen) plus hubby refused IVF option not until 3 yrs ago.The diagnosis was premature menopause . Prior to me trying I do not know alot about IVF. To cut the long story short. I did 3 cycle of IVF with donor Egg at Nordica and they were all BFN. We are devastated. I am devastated. My family are (I am the only one on the waiting list in the entire family). Oh I prayed...We prayed! Ok! According to them at NORDICAL they said I have 1 more round of DH semen available (We live in the state and I took 3 month leave (nopay). Should I do this last round with them? Should I let them discard the semen and go elsewhere? Each cycle cost nothing less than N3.6M. They also refused me at NORDICA to take any prenantal pre and post embryo transfer (stating they do not approve any one) Though they gave me Folic acid and low dose aspirin. Please help me. Any advice, recommendation? I have roughly 8weeks left. Can anything be done at this window? Yes I can cough out money for this procedure(if na borrow I will) and hubby can also come in for 2days and produce another semen. Please think for me. What can I do�‍♀️�‍♀️�‍♀️��������� Please read and suggest. Thank you

I would love to know what you eventually did and how it turned out. I also wondered why they didn't advise you to add surrogacy to your options.

How are the twins doing?

So well that I hardly have time for myself. Thanks for asking.

uwasam:
Wooh. That is another angle to it but that would cost a arm and a leg . What if both become positive too as hubby does not want more than two kids at a time and i will not want to waste money by putting one one each. Sorry for the questions as i just want us to help me think this tru. Thank You.

I did 2 surrogates once with 5 embryos and zero took in. Ivf is not a sure thing laslas.

uwasam:
Good Evening all. Been awhile. So i did go for another round of IVF both for me and a surrogate this time. Is sad to say that i had a BFN. i started bleeding on the 8th day when i wiped and i was given injections, it stopped only for me to start bleeding on the 13th again but this time a lot heavier than the 8th day. I was also given another injection. i stayed in the hospital all tru and i did all i was supposed to do as i learnt from here. As for the surrogate, it was also a negative. She did not bleed at all. I used my eggs as i had 6 grade AA eggs that made it to day 5 before the implant. Four were implanted for me while two went to the surrogate. Am just wondering what could have gone wrong as all the prognosis were right this time or so i thought. Before the transfer i did Anti- Mullerian Hormone test and i was 2.44 hence my going ahead to use my eggs. I know my write up is lengthy but please sabi Mamas help me touch light this as hubby is insisting we try just surrogate rather than myself and a surrogate again. i have done 3IVFs and 1IUI. I had surgery to remove fibroids last year September. i will be 40yrs this year.
Sorry for any typo.

I can understand your husband. He doesn't want to risk your health unnecessary. Ivf isn't always rocket science. How about using 2 surrogates instead of using yourself?

PossiblityGod:
Happy easter everyone and trust we are having a good easter celebration. This is a new moniker but an old member.
Please I need advice and suggestions. I did ivf late last year, got pregnant but lost it by 11weeks 5days as a result of no heartbeat. I even attempted suicide because the pain was too much for me to bear, but to the glory of God I'm healing gradually.
I went for the evacuation(MVA) last month, I am yet to see to see my period though.
Before starting the ivf, I took some recommended drugs to boost my egg quality for some months as well with hubby, the two subserol fibroids that were small before the ivf increased to 6.5cm as a result of the plenty progesterone that I was taking,
Now my questions are; what should I do to avoid the reoccurrence of no heartbeats again ie chromosomal abnormalities.
When can I go for the 2nd round of ivf and do I need to prepare myself again? If yes what drugs do you suggest.
Looking at the size of the fibroids now does it need surgery or what can I do to reduce it?
If I should go for ivf again, do I still use same hospital or change to a new one?
I am 35year old married for 5years,hubby has low sperm motility. Please I need everyone opinion on this, please do not read and pass, help a broken sister. @blendy, @zest4alllife, @omojudy, @uridiame

Have you done an ANA test?

legendsmother:



Mama cuppy thanks

enye2000:

Erechi:

legendsmother:

Hospital management during these times were topnotch

After transfer I went back to my normal active life d next day got my bfp 4days later


Been following up on you guys n thought to share

Merry Christmas

Congratulations.
Where is this clinic?

Erechi:
Twice, back to back
First was a single pregnancy
2nd a twin pregnancy ( and both foetus stopped growing) all via ivf

At what age did they stop growing?

MummyAD:
Mamas in the house pls Help I did cervical cerlage few days ago according to Doctor's advise but ever since then I have been having terrible pains on my pelvic area with spotting my doctor said it will stop but up till now I feel pains and it's becoming unbearable I can't stand properly I am worried and hope this won't affect my baby I don't care about the pains just worried about my baby

All you can do now is rest very well.

Erechi:
Good morning mamas,
I am new here, been TTc for the last 5 years..
Please has any one here suffered repeated missed abortions ( early miscarriage when baby stops growing or baby never even grew) and how they overcame it??

How often did this happen?

wonyi:


Mama sorry about that. After thawing the h5 Embryos, how many survived?

All did.

Busybeehf:

Yes, I miscarried because I didn't know I was pregnant and I was flying bikes in gallops. I did urine test prior that time, it was negative. It's really painful because dh and I really wanted a baby. I have done the evacuation. Thanks for the response.

Hugs. You will never miscarry again.

Khadylolli:
Good evening mamas, please am new her. I was just told my Dr that my two tubes are blocked and have to go through Ivf. This is all new to me, can any one help with the whole process. Also need the best hospital/ clinic in abuja with good and high success rate and is less expensive or affordable.

Did you try flushing?

Amakapritty:
Pls can someone help me,am I pregnant?

No. You are ovulating.

Busybeehf:
Good afternoon everyone, please can somebody explain this in detail?

This is a good scan. Thickened endo shows that you are either about to menstruate, ie past ovulation stage of your cycle or are pregnant but too early to show on a scan.

Uririandme:



I was just wondering about the possibility of using her again, in case you didn't use her this time. You may succeed with her again. Just my thoughts. That was why I asked.

Wishing you the best, should you choose to try again.

She isn't a single mum anymore. More responsibilities.

mercyooGod:
Please mothers help me I need advice what is the danger of using doner eggs

The danger is your mind telling you its not your child in the slightest provocation.

MummyNeto:
God already did!

Congratulations.

Uririandme:



You're making lots of sense mama. The truth is every failed cycle hurts badly, no matter the circumstances. You're also free from regrets that you didn't try. You're satisfied that you tried but it just didn't work out. But the beautiful thing here is you already have two lovely daughters that are the coolness of your eyes.
Cheer up and try again, if you wish to.
If you don't mind my asking, did you use the same surrogate that you succeeded with earlier?

Best of luck sis. May your wishes come through.

No. I used two new ones.

Admirabellebnf:
Good evening mamas and papas,this is my first time writing but I've been following this thread for a while.
DH and I are trusting God for our miracle this year.
Hormonal imbalance and fibroid are the culprit which I'm being treated for. I eventually decided to go for the myomectomy as I've been unwilling to do it. I pray this improves our chances.

These are the hospitals I have been to for gynaecological consultation but I need to get reviews on them concerning myomectomy. Does anyone know how successful they are please? How is their aftercare too?

Our Friend's Hospital, Ogba
Smith Medical Centre,Surulere
Nigerian Army Hospital, Yaba

Please any information about them is highly welcomed

I vote for the Army Hospital

I have a confession that has been harding me to say. Maybe I will feel better as I do. I never even tell anyone yet.
So i had 5 embryos after my first cycle in 2019. I decided to implant them this year and in two places. Well both failed. And I have no embryos anymore. I actually hoped to have a boy thats why I used them. But most importantly I couldn't imagine one day telling the clinic to discard my embryos or imagine forgetting it there and by some malpractice it is used on some couple without my consent.
I don't know how I feel. I feel like I lost a child.
Am I making any sense?
