Re: Anyone Trying IVF/IUI/ICSI (Fertility Treatments)? by oviasouth: 9:44am On Nov 04, 2013
good morning all, its been a while i posted but i still read and get updated with everyone's posts. am sorry for those that had bfn's and suffered losses........its a matter of time and every of our dreams will come to pass.
i want to use this opportunity to testify on the goodness of God upon my life. even when i lost all hope and felt God was not there-but he's always there. he know's best and makes all things beautiful in its time. i got my bfp from my 5th ivf for those who dont knw my story. 1st ivf-bfp(miscarriage), 2nd, 3rd(BFN), 4th-no fertilisation. i thought my world had crumbled and things were getting worse since i dint even get to ET.mind you everyone said i was so young(27yrs) so y was it not working out. God turned my captivity around in the 5th cycle and i got my bfp-that is not the end of story oh...........i like to talk about diagnosis since i used to be interested when people get their bfp's to know their physical challenges cos it gives hope to those with similar issues.i was diagnosed with endometriosis and adenomyosis also low count for dh. am sorry for the long post but am not finished yet coz after bfp some other stories followed which i feel will be helpful to others. will be right back.

Re: Anyone Trying IVF/IUI/ICSI (Fertility Treatments)? by oviasouth: 2:26pm On Nov 04, 2013
thanks every one for the good wishes. actually after my bfp i had very serious ohss, i cld not sleep, walk, breathe well, eat....e.t.c i looked 8mnth preg. i cld not work either. after the ohss subsided, i taught that was the end and i could start enjoying my bfp..lo and behold i started bleeding at almost 6weeks. i mean RED blood with clots ve read severally that brown is ok.mind you i had a miscarriage b4 and then i saw just a bit of brown spotting before the miscarriage was confirmed. i was so sure that the RED with clots was hopeless. it was crazy...i cried and said after 5cycles another miscarriage or what-felt God had abandoned me and my Dh said he was tired of all the rollercoaster and and money's spent so far. he had had enough. told me to go and stay with my mum down south as i had become a shadow of my self. i was depressed and my hubby was scared of leaving me all alone at home as he had to work.
i refused to go to my mum and wanted to confirm via a scan b4 stopping my meds. so i and hubby went to scan and the sonographer said with what he was seeing he was confused and i shld cme bak d nxt day to meet his higher colleague......talk about anxiety.the nxt day cld nt come fast enough and to cut d story short i was confirmed to be carrying twins with good heartbeats and they cldnt tell me where d bleed was frm......talk abt d shock of our lives. it was d best moment. as if dat was nt enough i went to d fertility clinic for a routine and final scan.......talk about fainting when d doctor said there is a third one with heartbeat....am sure dh almost fell off his seat. my mouth was wide open and my excitement turned into fear. evry one including d nurses were suprised.
2weeks later on my way to d clinic i and Dh had an accident but thank god for his grace we were fine-doctor ordered a scan immediately and discovered one of d babies had died.so bak to twins-i want to thank God for his mercies even times of my unbelief he still was faithful. blessing my family with a set of twins is nothing but his grace AND I BELEIVE he will see us through.pls ladies even when all hope seems lost der is still hope. even with the bleeding-it just might not be over.DONT GIVE UP ON GOD, COS HE WONT GIVE UP ON YOU- HE's ABLE.

I'm a silent follower of this thread but I have to comment . . .

Wow . . . Wow! I felt goose bumps while reading your post. God is indeed wonderful? Where on earth did the bleeding come from . . .

The God that started this good work in your life will surely bring it to an expected end. I'll be waiting to send baby presents for your twins soon! wink

What a mighty God we serve! Am really very happy for you. That last line struck me like a bomb while reading your testimony because we all need that, ' even with the bleeding- it just might not be over. DONT GIVE UP ON GOD, COS HE WONT GIVE UP ON YOU, HE'S ABLE'. you wouldn't know how many people you have encouraged with this testimony. It is well with you, thank God for everything, we just needed to do what we had to do, the glory goes to God. He will keep the twins to full term and they will develop maximally and optimally in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

Re: Anyone Trying IVF/IUI/ICSI (Fertility Treatments)? by Nobody: 3:40pm On Nov 04, 2013
Hello all. I used to follow this thread religiously but for a while i decided to stop and take a break from all things ttc especially after my last procedure failed. (twas a frozen embryo transfer after i had already had 2 failed ivfs). But first of all i want to send my warmest congratulations to all who have taken delivery of their blessings from God, inwangobio, oviasouth, nogen and all who are on this thread. God's presence will never depart from your lives.
I read in awe the inspiring testimony of that lady shared by blendy77 and couldnt help marvelling at how God works. I also read Nogen's posts and how she's encouraging all to share their stories and testimonies as we never know what piece of info one could share that might be of help to another. This is sooo true as my testimony will show. So here's my story, so that God may be glorified and also sisters and brothers on here could be encouraged.
Here goes: So i did my FET sometime in Feb/March this year(if i rmbr correctly) at Regenesis hospital, Ikeja. It was there i had the 2nd IVF( i think in Nov. 2012) done as well from which the extra 5 viable embys which i used for the FET were frozen. I had hitherto done the first ivf at Nordica Ikoyi. All 3 procedures resulted in bfn even though everything was done according to the book to the best of my knowledge, especially at Regenesis. Our infertility was termed Unexplained as i had done all the necessary tests and nothing was found to be an issue. DH as well had his tests done and the only thing one doctor ever mentioned was that he had borderline low sperm motility(as in his figures were somewhat close to the minimum figure needed to achieve pregnancy).
So after the FET failed, naturally, we were crushed. As in no further game plan. It was just me, DH, our little faith and God Almighty. After three and half years of marriage, never conceived in my whole life, it was such a difficult period and then as part of trying to get over that particlar failure at that point, I decided to stay off all things ttc and pregnancy related-blogs, articles, drugs, prenatal vitamins, everything. They were almost too painful for me to follow and i felt like i just didnt have the strength to cope. Hubby n i decided we would just live the lives God had given us the best way we could, the happiest way we could and just literally wait on Him.
Then in August, one day at work, I rmbered that at one of those numerous scans i had done during my ivf stimming, the doc at Regenensis(Dr. Norbert) had mentioned, just in passing that i had a tilted (towards the rectum)uterus as he was reading the monitor. So i decided to google it. It was more out of boredom than anytin because at this point i felt i had done everytin possible based on the numerous info i had gathered over the years on the internet. Anyhow, I googled and read how about 30% of women have this condition and how it wasnt such a serious problem though. I dug deeper, read on ttc with a tilted uterus and of course, lots of people had lots of varying accts and stories. Some women reported having that condition and werent in anyway challenged when conceiving while others spoke about how they were having trouble conceiving becos of it.Then i stumbled on one lady's comment on how she had been ttc for a very long time with a tilted uterus until someone told her to try making out with her hubby rear entry style(sorry for tmi) and to lay on her stomach with hips elevated(using a pillow or sumtin for support) for a while after. She wrote that they tried it and surprisingly conceived that very cycle. I chuckled and in passing, made just a little mental note to try it with DH when next we BD.
August came and passed, notin happened and i was like wurreva, God dey. September came and had me preparing in such a big way for my wedding anniversary. i dont know where the inspiration or motivation came from but i was planning to celebrate our upcoming anniversary on a grand scale. i was just so overcome with happiness and gratitude to God and love for my hubby and hope that the way i was putting things in place for the anniv eh, even my colleagues in the office were wondering why i was making such a biggie out of it especially seeing as we hadnt conceived and all. But somehow, i couldnt stop myself. The plans just kept getting grander and grander, it was on a work day Wednesday so i bought the outfits for hubby and i, booked a dinner cruise, wrote a poem for hubby, baked a cake(top tier of our wedding cake), made my hair, made a CD collection of our favorite songs, bought hubby's gift. All these i did without my husband's knowledge. I physically had no reasons to be so happy and want to celebrate but i couldnt contain the unfounded happiness and spirit of joy that was prompting me to go all out. Day came, I told hubby to keep his evng after work free, then we went on our way. Hubby was thouroughly surprised, we both shed a few tears, it was sooo emotional. We were happy and grateful that God could allow us to still experience so much happiness in the midst of our childless pain. Then we continued to live our lives, still BDing on my stomach, then it happened. I missed my period in Sept, for the first time in my life.
I want to believe that God used that single piece of info to help our case and so i pray that we all in our journeys towards His blessings be met with the people, information, prayers, medicines and all the resources we need to get our answers.
I particularly want to congratulate Oviasouth cos i rmbr that at one point, i think it was during my fet, we were cycle buddies.Together with Abibby(i sincerely hope im not mixing tins up, forgive me).
I humbly want to ask that you all keep me in your prayers that God will see this pregnancy to a very successful end and birth. i will continue to keep all in my prayers as well. So i want to add my little voice to the fact that even when things seem like it's all over, like u're at a dead end, like u've tried all you can, like you've had multiple failed ivfs and even naturally concieved pregnancies, like you cant see any way out, please remember dear sisters and brothers that it's not over, He can and will do it.
God continue to bless us all.
