The wife should give her husband permission to get another lady pregnant

Sorry about their loss

Mystery of life . Mad woman wouldn't even do 0.0001 antenatal visit and deliver safely

An unemployed boy who just passed JAMB will just glide the cowboy hat on the surface and pre_bullet will hit the target shocked

Very painful for the couple.
Such are the mysteries of life

May God be with them in this trying period and provide for them babies of their dreams. It is a bad experience to pass through such stress without a good result but it’s not the end of the world.

What if the husband is the problem? Should the wife be given permission to get impregnanted by another man too?

Adoption option is still open.
Or they can save for another trial. They can also continue to trust God. In all, they shouldn't allow any situation to trouble them, not even childlessness.

LMFAO did they give them a guarantee? People go through multiple IVF circles before it works through, they should go check their health and diet to improve their parameters. We just burnt $25,000 on our first round and trust me it hurts but it is part of the process...

My neighbor's younger brother and wife just lost 3.5 million naira to a round of failed IVF.
They are devastated.

They've been trying to conceive naturally 7 years now until a family friend out of good intentions directed them to a IVF specialist with a good track record.

After several investigations, physical examinations, scans, injections, pills, supplements. The resulting embryos did not do well in-utero.

And that was 3.5 million naira gone with the ocean breeze....

No free repeat cycle,no refund.
Quite an unpleasant development.

A failed IVF is not the end. The treatment might actually troubleshoot their reproductive system and natural conception can occur soon after a failed IVF

Nigeria is already overpopulated. Try adoption
Re: TTC & Failed IVF: After ₦3.5M, No Baby, No Refund by kingthreat(m): 6:47pm On Nov 25, 2025
Many IVF centers in Nigeria are fraudulent.
The so-called IVF doctor leave the whole IVF process in the hands of their lab guys. Some of the lab guys are not that competent.
How can you be running an IVF center with only one trained MD?
And if it fails, they tell couples to try again. And the least IVF costs very exorbitant.
Please do not mock any trying couples. They need all the emotional support they can.

Exactly, the solution might be just one treatment work and everything is fine.

What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

If the fault is from the man he should give his wife permission to be impregnated by another man, there's nothing wrong with it

It's something our forefathers used to do

That's very sad to hear. As much as IVF success rates have improved over the years, there are times results don't go as expected. Some IVF clinics do give discounts to returning couples especially after failed IVF.
This issue popped up in my head yesterday. I have a question to ask though. Is the success rate here the same with what is obtainable abroad?
My good friend who has been TTC for years and has gone through a lot of process with no luck traveled to the UK with the wife and boom! They had triplets! Though I can't say for sure if they did IVF here in Nigeria, but at some point they just relaxed.

Oga na rubbish you dey talk!

There is no IVF centre that will intentionally want their treatments to fail because they know that having a high percentage of positive results will get them more referrals from happy and satisfied clients

The doctor didn't investigate properly the underlying infertility issues before implanting.

One major issue that might or actually leads to IVF failures is ENDOMETRITIS.

Once there is chronic inflammation of the uterine lining, mostly due to undetected infection or inflammatory mediators (diet mostly), implantation will never happen except by Miracle.

Sadly, a lot of Nigerian specialists don't bother to check for this and aggressively treat... Or maybe they don't have the equipment to do so.
Re: TTC & Failed IVF: After ₦3.5M, No Baby, No Refund by KaptainAfrika: 7:03pm On Nov 25, 2025
Or quick five minutes on top of that woman that comes from the village (because of big fresh laps) to beg for money, and belle go enter, at least another hand in the farm.

Even the Adoption process is not easy.
A Neighbor of mine registered for adoption since September last year, up till now she hasn't gotten a call from the Ministry of Gender Affairs.
She is now searching for another place that is affordable and Legal.

Please someone should help me with a reasonable answer to my question.

Why would a woman give birth to a baby and not breastfeed the child for a single day? I mean nothing like breastfeeding.

A woman I know very well in her late forties has three children now and never breasted any of them for a single day.

They usually tell them its a 50/50 chance and fund is no refundable...

It happened to my friend, he spent all his saving trying it in Abuja and everything didn't materialised...

I just pray to hope in God and He quickly answered them

What happened to adoption?. There are millions of hungry, uneducated and unloved children in Nigeria waiting for a home. Just imagine what this wasted money could do for even just one or two children.

Stop massaging your egos and open your hearts to loving a child you did not give birth to.
