You are lucky to have a few eggs left.l know someone with a medical condition who hit early menopause in her early thirties!.
Just one advice for you ma'am. HARVEST AND FREEZE YOUR EGGS QUICKLY!!!!
Do you know the cost of your recommendation? Put it into consideration.


Consult a fertility doctor quickly to preserve your eggs while they still can.Even if your eggs are totally lost & maybe u are MENOPAUSAL ALREADY,
This is an option for the rich. If she is capable...fine. If not, think well.



I'd advise you to consider adopting or if in the upper middle class, buy eggs from egg bank.
Adoption is not yet accepted here. Only people with 0 chance eventually accept adoption. Like a lady whose womb has been removed. Even 60+ still go to mountains to pray for miracles which is unlikely to happen. And they waste time so much living in pains and sorrow. They aged fast too. Someone who can still give birth is who you are telling to adopt in Nigeria. I am sure she isnt considering this now, but I may be wrong.


Also bear in mind that with ivf, egg boosters exist medically & a post menopausal woman in her sixties in the usa gave birth.
It is a post menopausal woman (just one), and not numerous. The medical procedure is still with low probability outcome for people close to menopause. Many people tried and nothing happened. IVF has its own factors which determine the outcome. Look at FFK. He went for all boys triplets. And he was able to achieve it cos his wife is still very fertile. So, IVF is not meant for only people who are having problems to get pregnant. In fact, it's easier for fertile couples. Have your babies at once, choose their gender, and forget it. Then, just be making love later and enjoy it well well.





Do not dispair.Give relationships another try, pray, plan , There is hope!
Do not give up on love.your soul mate might just be close!
At what age will she find a soul mate? grin A beg dont make me laugh. You stand a chance of finding your soul mate when you marry early and both couple are virgins. Simple as ABC. Is it soul that have mixed with multiple partners that will be called soul mate again? Or soul that has aborted will start looking for a soul partner? Lol. You dont know that sex is a spiritual transaction?

A beg, let the girl just lower her standard and look for a man to get married to. That is all. Any scrutiny and staying on looking for high standard man based on her principle will end her up getting to menopause. She can upgrade the man as long as the man is with a good brain. Money can make change anyone. And the money to do this is cheaper than IVF, freezing, or bla bal bla. If the marriage collapses, it's still better than making oneself a baby mama from the start. And if she chooses the baby mama route, it is better than waiting for IVF which has slim chance. It is all about probability now. She must calculate very well.

She has missed her soul mate. It is the truth. Also, even everyone of us married at early age, there will still be left over both male and female who will never marry because there are always more women than men. This is why muslims accept 4 women to a man. Are you saying the women are all the man's soul mates? There is nothing like soul mates again if you want me tell you the truth. Just be honest in your marriage, and be ready for anything. Get ready to heal if you meet hindrances in your marriage. This is why we need to get help. This world is more complex than what we think it is presently. Everything has almost scattered in this world. We just have to start living rightly.

Most pastors, imams, and counselors in Nigeria are inexperienced. They are the cause of the problems in Nigeria. Everyone wears a mask to cover up inner thoughts, wants, desires, and actions.

More than the companionship cos if it is not the right person the worst loneliness is one when you are married to the wrong person cos you can't even get peace in your own home which is suppose to be your place of refuge. It becomes the enemy within and could even be fatal.

Give yourself 2 years and just be focused on getting a good man whom you are happy to be the father of your children. After that a sample is just 100 dollars and you can do artificial insemination. No let anyhow person give you STD before you have a major health issue to contend with.

There are support groups online for people going through the same thing speak with them to know if its for you.

I hate it. I’m 41, never married, no kids.

I’ve been close…twice. But ended both relationships when they were caught cheating.

I’ve dated several men since then, most older than me, and they seemed to be in no hurry to even be in a committed relationship. Which is crazy to me that these men are mid-40s and still trying to hangout with the guys and party. I met a whole guy group of friends in Houston 2 years ago…all single, all 36–45 years old. They were throwing house parties during the quarantine…parties!! ��

When I was in grade school, I was told to get a degree, don’t get pregnant, just enjoy being single, make friends, keep dating, and the right man will find you.

Now that I have two degrees, traveled the world, developed hobbies, and avoided pregnancy…my doctors are telling me to just be a single mom because I’m running out of eggs as I type this message. �

I beat teenage pregnancy to be considering single motherhood at 41. �

Damn you, parents, counselors, pastors, and everyone who gave me that advice. I can’t get that time (or my eggs) back. I hate being single at this age!! ��

They want to acquire all the degrees,and before you know they start running out of time.We have read countless numbers of time here on nairaland about some girls that told their guys how they want to finish school before marriage. And they do this in hope of finding a better partner in the university..

How can they be happy when they were raised by parents like yours to believe they need to have a man in their lives to complete them in some way? undecided

Jesus Christ taught us that God Almighty made created some - male and female alike - Eunuchs from birth, some become Eunuchs in life and others chose to become Eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of God - Matthew 19 vs 5 - 15 undecided

Sadly, some of those who were created Eunuchs are indoctrinated by ignorant parents into believing they are meant to marry and reproduce, setting their life into confusion from their very beginning. It is not mandatory to marry or have companions. This choice ought to be left to individuals to make on their own and in their own time. undecided

God made marital companionship a choice.... no one needs it to be happy,not even in old age. Those who don't have it can still be happy if they desire to be. And those who have it and are not happy can also choose to be happy regardless. undecided

In the beginning, God said it is not good for man to be alone and created the woman.

Singlehood seems fine for men & women till they are older and alone.

@Eunuchs: the primary thing driving them is that they have a higher purpose aka monks, reverend sister's/fathers etc.

They live in a well defined community (family) and are not alone.

They also devote themselves to a greater good e.g. the Mother Theresas of this world.

Everytime singlehood was mentioned in the Bible, it was like the above; devoting yourself solely for the gospel.

The idea of being single to face your 'career' or work or just to flex is strange.

It’s so sad that a lot of people are going to fall into this thread advising and trolling women in a demeaning way, due to your story.

It’s pathetic you are doing Mr Peter Ade…., Most likely from ifetedo, oyo state or ekiti state, whichever of this profile is banked on the internet. I mean with your most likely failed blogging career…..

Going through your profile, you are man assuming to be a woman in order to stir the workings of all these sore woman haters, churning out vile and ugly comments. First off, you are not a woman, you are male COWard, a coward at that with no balls.

2. if you are a woman and you are single at over 30, own that shitt, Life continues, adopt kids. They are humans, find love in your place of religion, supermarket, dating sites and live the life out of your life.


You are pathetic op and go find a job or something, trolling even makes you more distasteful

Isn’t that the standard? Blame everyone but yourself?

That is why I will continue to commend Linda Ikeji for having that boy. She did what a right thinking woman should do. Not taking postinor 2 at 38.

If you want a child and you can cater for that child, by all means have that child. Even small girls of 21 are having their babies. Then a grown financially independent woman in her late 30s is somewhere asking “hope you didn’t cum inside”. undecided undecided

People must talk. When they are done talking, they will move on. With time they’ll appreciate the decision you took years ago.



I am 43. Not me.




No need for that. Menopause came early.

Any lady past 25 still having sex with a marry she cannot marry is not serious.

Any one that aborts past 28/30 must be dancing to the drums of her village people.

Most realistic, sensible and practical comment. If you are woman, 35yrs and above and financially stable, i really do not see why you would not allow a man you CHOSE to sleep with not to cum inside. That might be your last and only chance. Any man you choose to open your legs for is good enough for you and a potential baby daddy.
i'm currently cumming inside a 40 yr old bitch cos she needs a kid badly. I'm young tho

I have 2 younger sisters, the one that chopped life, was a concern to my parents but she tried and avoided pregnancy and HIV is married. While the one we hailed, nicknamed "sister" is about to turn 35 unmarried with no relationship in sight.

Like my sister, I believe you have some strict principles that prevents the modern eligibles to consider you.

Its possible that you dont go beyond 2nd base with a guy, who in this age will considered settling down with you if he is not gold digging.

In my opinion, girls who dont make serious effort in keeping a man will not be able to keep a man.

The last guy who wanted to marry my sister only has an NCE with no intention of going further, had 3 children from 3 women, hid the truth, denied the truth before confessing.

She is basically inexperienced in relationship and doesnt even hangout till date. The guys she meets are colleagues, church members, neighbours and wedding groomsmen. These are circle of guys that will hardly marry a lady in the same circle.

My advise to you is, you are allowed to be desperate. It means consider having a child and it involves you taking charge of a relationship and getting what you want.

I actually discussed this with my folks the other time.

The single lifestyle of our generation affects the female gender more than the male gender.

When you age you will understand that the most important aspect of marriage is actually companionship, sex is while you are younger but as you age.

You need a confidant, a partner no matter how hard it is you need someone.

To our single women out there, please use the opportunity now.

I have met plenty aged single women, i must confess that 85% of them aren't happy with their life.
the only alternative is to get pregnant and be a single mom,that child will return your happiness and will be your companion as you grow older,I have a cousin that was exactly in same predicament ,I advised her to be single mom she rebuffed the idea claiming that her husband is on the way,10 years later with no husband,no child,she is now trying to adopt a child and regrets the wasted years she was fertile,men of this current generation are not in a hurry to get married and more men has actually decided not to marry but have children by baby mamas,which I don't blame anyone that decided not to marry because marriage will test the limits of your patience ,temper and endurance ,which sadly many men cannot handle without breaking into pieces.

Sister, truth be told, it's either a physical or spiritual problem. Physical in the sense that your attitude towards people (men especially) may not have been appealing. Spiritual, being that it may be a Spiritual husband issue or some other family background issue robbing you of your marriage.

Nonetheless, the good news is; You have a God who reforms, repairs and revolutionizes. Work on your character, maintain an excellent hygiene, keep an inviting countenance (be of good cheers always).
Take some time to fast and pray! Deliverance either comes directly from above or through an instrument. Allow God lead you to a genuine ministry where you can become free indeed.

God bless you and I hope your next post will be the testimony of a fruitful marriage.

would you have handled pregnancy then? Would you have achieved what you have now , the financial stability you have reached now, your current identity or the palace you have been if you had gotten pregnant then?

See, I can only imagine how you feel like now and I can Tell that getting pregnant then would have been the dumbest thing you would have done. so , don't link your current situation to that because you had a good life, you dated , had friends and went to college.

Why you haven't gotten engaged or married now is simply because of time and chance - it can happen to anyone. Time and chance happen to everybody. It's quite unfortunate that yours isn't that favorable and I hope it changes for you.

But, till then , be your normal self, go out, have fun, meet people and make best decisions that you can handle the circumstances.

Standards, parents expectations.

There’s nothing wrong in being a single mother, so I’d suggest it. I know an aunt who never got married. When she hit 4th floor, my grandma advised her to have one or two children but she refused. Today she’s about 76, lonely, ashamed, miserable and hardly visits home. So please, have a child or two.
But isn't it funny that they can submit themselves to have their womb flooded with sperm from a man, just to have a child..... Yet they cannot bring themselves to submit to the same gender in a marriage setting....
