Please any mum planning on travelling emirates late dec/early jan?

Yes, I am flying Emirates 2nd week of january, bought my ticket already. I am a Feb. mum but taking off early Jan.

AyaSho:
.
Aside Dr Oduro, the hospital bill it's self is high
Can you help out.
I have a family friend in Georgia who wants me to stay with them.
They are so concerned about helping me with the baby after the operation. My budget is 7k

Check Atlanta medical center, I plan going to Atlanta, planed CS and looking for a abudget friendly hospital too.

GenoMI:
My sista, the shock wey carry me when I saw that price on travelstart website, I just had to call Delta myself .

Once they confirmed, I booked it and paid sharply. Right now I am using ALL my energy to research hospitals in Houston on this thread , might as well go there since I got such an amazing deal on the ticket. It's not like I have relatives in ATL so Gwinnett is not by force, LOL. I was only bent on going there cause I know some1 who has used the place and gave good reviews. Bet e don be like say I go port ooo...

@GenoMI, why you wan do me like that now, you that I wanted to go and try Gwinett and give me feedback, now you want to port, anyway, I sent a mail to Gwinnett and I got this 10-12k for a 4 day stay, of course with the 40% discount but it has been so difficult calculating the exact amount for their CS. Please anybody that has used Gwinnett for CS should please give me an estimate. I also contacted Dr. Oduro, whose charge is 2600 for CS

GenoMI:
Ok @Pmama Let me know if you need any other info

@GenoMI: Thank you very much, I have gone through the pages and noted the cost, however, I need to know how you got the estimate, did you call the hospital or DR. Oduro? Did you send them a mail, please let me know. I called Gwinnet and the estimate I got for CS (4 days stay) was $10 to 12k. I made the call from the states and told them I do not have insurance. Would it have been cheaper going through the Physician? Please let me know.

GenoMI:
Hi @Pmama I'll be heading to Atlanta 1st week in December by God's Grace, due in Jan. You can find the summary of the hospital I intend to use along with costs on thread page 150

Thank you so much, you do not know what you did for me, I'll check the pages out and respond.

Hi people
Thanks for all your info I am due Feb. 2015 anybody want to hook up? Fine I have Elpaso and Arizona in mind but I will really prefer Atlanta, any body headed to Atlanta next year please which hospital are you using and what is the cost? I have tried to contact two mums that are currently in Atlanta but I guess thay are busy with babies. Please let’s hook up if you are due in Feb.

Nogen: I "fitn't" laugh o! God has the final say. Gbam! He alone knows what is best for us, we can only ask and plead that he gives us our heart desires. Anyways, your friend will have enough sons-in-laws and plenty of omugwos to attend.



Pmama! Pmama!! Pmama!!! How many times did I call u? Hmmm, my sister leave sex selection alone and pray to God for baby/babies through ur first attempt at ivf. He knows what's best for u and will give u exactly that which suits u. Let me quickly share the experience of one of my very close friends who had 4 girls. She put herself and hubby under so much pressure over the male child they didn't have and decided to go for ivf/sex selection. Meanwhile the other 4 babies were conceived naturally. This babe paid heavily and I mean heavily for sex selection and 3 embies were transfered. Close to 20weeks she went to check their sexes and its like they all closed their legs or so cos she claimed she didn't see the sex b4 she delivered. My friend then traveled to US to have her male US citizens only to be delivered of triplet, all girls. She has 7 girls as we speak. Initially my friend wanted to sue the clinic that performed the sex selection but I don't know who advised her against it. Me na laugh I just dey laugh cos I no kuku get one that time.
My Sisters, fear God o cos He will always take the lead. Science and technology can only try but can never ever take the place of God.
Nice weekend my people!

Thanks you so much you and peace5050 for your enlightenment, you really got me thinking.


@Gimnaeto I am so sorry, this is really scarry but what will one do, take heart God will still show himself faithfull in your case.

CharisJaden2013: .
@ Pmama I know someone who did in Dubai and she said the rate was cheaper than 9ja. This is the website of d clinic www. fakihIvf.com. Google them and see and she sails their success rate is very high and there is no Visa wahala

Thanks dear, I will look them up and see if I can contact them, have sent a mail to Egypt too after I saw my cousin's post on facebook yesterday on two weeks holiday in Egypt. Cairo may not be as hot as we thought. they have not responded to me though.

@HoneyBony: I am so sorry a lot of us has said it all, take heart dear, you will smile again.

God will help us in this country

This is a wakeup call to everyone using first bank Naira master card and to ask for assistance in resolving this issue. I logged on to my account on the 11th of march to discover that I have been debited 353,000 naira that I know nothing about, I quickly ran to my branch and reported this, I was told the next day that my money was used to purchase Air France return ticket to Paris, that I was charged about 20,000 south a France rand. My card was in my wallet and I showed it to first bank staff at my branch. Till today it has been mails upon mails, the merchant is protected, we cannot reach Master card, the last was that they will get back to me when they have more information, I have called fistcontact, wasted all my airtime, contacted some first bank staff in their head office and I am not getting result. If anybody has any idea how this can be resolved please help. They have established that it was a fraudulent transaction, they even sent me the details of the guy that used the ticket, the guy had used the ticket according to Air France but was due back by 30th, why will first bank not cancel and at least ask for a refund of the return ticket between 9th and 30th. please NL assist with any info

@peace5050, thanks, ok Egypt is out of the list, I am googling Cape town center now. Any info about Ivf Centers in Portharcourt? I was reffered to Bridge but I have my reservations about them.

Hey People, I have been a silent reader of this post for some time now and decided it is time to be part of it, hubby and I have decided to go the IVF way but I am particular about clinics that do sex selection any idea of such clinic please let me know. That said I plan to give my self like 3 months to work on myself, by that I mean excersice, eat right, lose weight and relax, have also ordered fatility blend for both of us.
I was told my tubes were blocked and there is this Falopio that some body wrote that she has the contact, could you please drop the contact because I am seriously considering buying it.

Any link to South Africa and Egypt IVF centeres will be appreciated. To Everybody, hold on to God and see your doctors, ONE day, it will be over

@pmama, are you that crossed?

I don't think you need to o, modath had been a help to us here and she had always approached us all that way (it is her person). In fact all you need to do is to know what you are doing and be sure it is werking for you. Am not sure she meant to be harsh but that is Mody for you, welcome to the club. I can assure you, you will be best of friends sooner than you expected.

@hour Glass
Ok oh, but this is a forum and I think we come here to learn, I just asked her some questions and I do not think it is bad for a representative of misguided persons like me to ask to be guided aright. We should be civil in our utterances and criticise constructively that is my point. Any way I better back off so you continue the help you get from her, I don't want to stand in the way.

@Panama,
I had to ask cos I find your diet out of the ordinary, its only People like Kate moss and other  misguided folks on Oyibo websites preparing for bikini season that do such things. Lime in hot water is something you really shouldn't be doing at all, It is counterproductive.
You reiterated to HG that the diet got you to where you are. I reviewed it critically and all I saw was "semi-starvation/imbalance. do you see yourself continuing on this path in 2014 Are  you in a hurry of some kind?

@ Modath,
why do you think the diet is out of the ordinary? seriously let's not just criticise for no reason, let us know why. I am the one doing the diet and I told you it is balanced I even asked for any body that is intrested to request for the meal plan, you didn't ask for it but you are quick to criticise based on what if I may ask?, while you take your pounded yam, I go for potatoes, I eat meat/fish, I drink milk, I had my brown rice yesterday with lots of veggies, I even drank my white wine, is it the lime that is your problem? google what it does to your body, an informed MODATH BILLY BLANKS like you should know better,Let us know why squeezing my lime juice in warm water to drink is bad. I have all the six food nutrients that I require.

I on behalf of those of us that are misguided am asking you to please help put us on the right path, we are all here to learn, paste a one week meal plan for us to follow and be sure it is one we can do till 2014, to answer your question for the up tenth time, I hope to make this diet my life style or you didn't read that bit. .
Yes the diet got me where I am, from 83 in November till 73 this morning, this was after working out from February 2011. Yes I am in a hurry to get to my goat weight and just so you know, I work out minimum 3 times in a week.

@Panama,
Welcome to the thread but I have to ask;are you resident in Naija

Yes I am here. why do you ask please?
Log for yesterday

Break fast------ Lime in hot water.
Lunch ----------- had carrots(they are in season and handy to take to work), 1 apple, garden egg can't remember how many.
Dinner------------ Okro soup, it had meat and fish in it.

Didn't go to the gym, yesterday was church and I came home tired. off to the gym people.

Can you really starve and exercise? your body is no machine and will complain, you can cut down your food intake but if you starve, it is a matter of time before you go back to where you started, you'll be weak and exercise will be the least desirous. nice quote though.

@Hour Glass, Thanks for your advice about my diet, trust me my meal plan is balanced, it is probably the way I wrote it without really going into details, the salad I had yesterday had fish on it, some days I have milk, potatoes, lean meat and even brown rice but it is mostly fruits and veggies sorry about the misinformation. To answer your question, I want to make this diet part of me, I am coming from 83 KG and it was this diet and Exercise that got me this far. Thanks again for the link, it was very informative.

Hi everyone
this is the first time I am posting my Daily exercise, but I sure have been going through the post. I am 1.69, 75 kg and my target weight is 70kg, I think it is better to set short goals than long ones that will bore you. I am on fruits and veggies, I have a week plan for any one that is intrested. I will be at the Gym this evening because of work, for an hour aerobics.
Break fast---- lime in hot water to substitute for my tea,Garden egg and carrots.
Lunch --------- Vegetable salad with lowfat cream.
Dinner --------- Vegetable soup.

Inspired,
I am sure you know why it took me this long to respond to this, I've been all over the place with this new baby, I am just soooo excited, we don't have too many people that keep to their words, you'll recall what happened when the exchange rate went up, you still found a level ground for us both, Thanks, It's my money though. To all, inspired is real, my hubby was skeptical initially but when we gave this business a short he (INSPIRED) delivered and on time too. Inspired, call me, my colleague is ready for the ML.
