Thank you for doing the needful @Benignasweety
God bless you mamas for your encouragement & kind words.

@Fertilewoman, I wanted to answer o....
Ok, why don't you take him to the movies.... a late movie even if its on a week day. Buy tickets aforehand, you guys can have dinner somewhere first before the movies.
OR
Have the dinner and movies at home.
Use scope to ask him his fav movie of all time, as in the movie he will do anything to see again.
Download it and if your TV can read USB good, if it can't, you can burn it on a CD.
Make a 3 course meal, mostly simple dishes mostly his favs....his fav finger food, his fav meal, his fave desserts ( sweets, ice cream, chocolate will do). Just small portions so you dont take all the time in the world to prepare or eat it.
Then dim the lights and watch your movie even if it a war or gangster movie...lol!
Set the house in the right mood with good lighting ( abeg dont use candle, you can get those dim bulbs and replace after birthday), scent and background music( his fav blues).
Goodluck.
I actually did option 1, he was just gushing about that being his best birthday ever! Cos I took him out all night till 1am and refused to let him spend a dime.


And congrats on your bfp in advance

Thanks for the info, dear mama. I will google it. The real issue is 'Am I brave enough?' *smile*

fruitfulhome, dear we/I undastand. Ttc coupled with money issues is never palatable. God will overturn and overturn till your due blessings locate you guys. pls stay strong. 'Though the vision may tarry, wait for it for it shall surely come to pass' (paraphrasing the Bible).
And Amen to ur prayers.

@fruitfulhome: my dear we all understand but all I can say is IT IS WELL. Worrying has never helped any1, just continue praying and hoping in God. He will turn all situation around for good in Jesus name.

@fertilewoman: am saying congrats in advance on ur bfp. Am sensing that's a BFP.

God has granted your heart desire
Biko no fear....he ll perfect that which he has started....

Ponders end is about the cheapest to use in Benin.There is Lily clinic at Etete.they opened a branch in Benin last year but have been in operation for a long time in Delta State,then,i think St.Augustine's (not sure of the name)@uwasota road(heard very expensive),Graceland is at technical road(ready for iui or ivf straight,with plenty money),as for lab,Amen at Uwasota junction,Oshios D at opposite ubth,Wharc at igue-iheya i.e.benin lagos express road(but,i am not sure if they take samples without u been registered there).They also have a fertility clinic there(its actually a woman health center sponsored by Ford organisation)..that's the few i know for now...

@fertilewomen,i rub my hands in anticipation of a BFP.This would be one of Dh's best birthday gift ever...let me lend u one of my how i would inform Dh of Bfp..
On his birthday,take him to a good restaurant,when the waiter brings the bill and hands it to u(u must have tipped the waiter,so he/she is coming with ur positive lab test result and the bill)u kind of frown and say "honey,pls,I don't understand what is written here"and hands over the result to him..omo,ur imagination is as good as mine...

@ Pweetymii: babe I gbadun that idea of how to inform DH of BFP, e be like say that's what am gonna use too.

A wonderful and blessed day to every1.

praiseworks:
Good day mamas so i went to Sonex hospital to do Hsg but was advised to check for infection first after much persuation i decided to. i ran all the test hiv,hepatitis, veneral disease and infection all came out negative but i tested positive for infection and i got it treated. it was day 4 so i decided to do homonal profile.this is the result and i have been placed on 200mg of natural progresterone for one month 3 days apart totalling 10 days of injection to shore up my progresterone and also correct the short luteal phase. we just talked about the low progresterone and short luteal phase,mama any other input abt the result pls.

It all seems to be on track. Your Prolactin seems to be on the high side of normal. As a precaution and for good measures to avoid it rising and possibly tipping over, I'll suggest you eat Cabbage regularly.

Abeg what's the fees in Sonex like? Registration Fee? Hormonal Test , Scan, etc. I just want to guage affordability for a friend. Also whats your perception of the Dr and the hospital generally? TIA.

Mama Fvine and other sabi mamas please come to my rescue o. My front hair is receding seriously,its like am going bald o.
was diagnosed of slight pcos some years back but my cycle is very very regular.
I started taking metformin and Omega 3,6 &9 about 2 months ago but I don't take it regularly since my Doctor is recommending just clomid and he says its not that serious.
My concern now is my hair cos I use wig to cover up.Please note that I have tried some hair growth cream but no result. I hope its not the side effect of metformin.

God bless everyone contributing on this thread.Amen

It would actually be the PCOS causing the hair loss and not Metformin. Hair loss is a symptom of PCOS. Metformin will actually improve pcos symptoms and not worsen it.I think you need to talk to your Dr about your PCOS. Yes Clomid can stimulate your ovaries to stimulate better but the PCOS can still affect your health, well being and even Pregnancy. Taking Metformin while on Clomid makes your Ovulation better. Some Drs also add some other drugs to their Clomid therapy. PCOS women have a higher rate of miscarriage than women without PCOS. Most Drs will have their pregnant PCOS patients take a low dose of Metformin all through their 1st trimester to help prevent miscarriage.

For your hair loss, try applying Castor Oil on the hair and scalp. They say Coconut Oil also does wonders. You need to also reduce / eliminate carbs from your diet. This will improve your PCOS and PCOS symptoms plus the hair loss.

I've been on Metformin 1000mg for about a month or so. It hasn't helped me lose weight or anything like that, but it did help with my Ovulation. I ovulated early on CD12 but my Luteal phase still remained 13days which is great. Also for the first time in my adult years, I had Ovulation spotting plus my regular Ovulation pain and high temperature. I also used OPK when I had the pains and got a clear positive. Spotting was very early morning around 3am. By evening I did opk again and got a negative. I was happy. So even though my high hopes of weight loss on Metformin didn't happen, am happy I now ovulate great.

Hello dear which OPK did U use and how does one Use it.
I want to get an OPK,but haven't knw which to go for

Read below the Catholic Church Gospel today that I find interesting and inspiring. I hope it inspires you and you decipher some truths as I did. I pray that we all manifest as the fruitful vines as Jesus wants us to be. For me fruitfulness is not just of the womb or children, it's actually of everything about us and in all that is good. Have a great day Y'all.

GOSPEL
John 15:1–8

Jesus said to his disciples:
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples."

It is well,

No matter what the devil may do oo

It is well in the name of Jesus

Please Dear Lord, wipe out this tears from my eyes that has defiled consolation.
I'm just in a circle not knowing what to do or the angle to follow.

I have been in tears since morning thinking maybe I have the worst case, not just because of ttc, so many things on my mind.

Money is really power. With it, one can achieve a lot. but without it, humiliation and frustration becomes the order of the day.

Are mine supposed to bring this here? Maybe Yes, Maybe No! But I think if i have conquered ttc, the burden would have been lighter.

Ok, here I am in same compound with FIL, MIL, SIL, BILs, Cousins in Law etc. FIL flaunting his money and would not assist his very own son and first child. He owns block of flats that he promised once tenants rent expires, we could take one of the flats, today, the response is " don't put ur hope on any of those flats, it is just the two of you, wen kids start coming, you can move"

Me and hubby having serious financial challenges on top of ttc. We cant even afford a rent outside because we are saving for ttc journey.

Help us Dear Lord. I stand in the gap and pray for every1 on this ttc journey that just like God did great miracles in the days of old, May it happen to all of us too. In Jesus name, Amen!

@ fruitfulhome I was really moved to tears with your situation. I understand how u feel cos money is a very important tool in ttc and I know ur struggles.I stand in gap for everyone of us struggling with Ttc and finance that our miracle working God will do 360 turnaround on our situation. Because we have sought his face he will bless us on every angle of our lives. My sister we will testify soon with bfp, improved finances,peace of mind. Hold on fast to God he is the perfect source of all we want and more. Amen

Happy birthday to me,this year will be a remarkable one for me,cause I will get a Big Fat Positive IJN amen,will come here and testify to the Glory of God! This year I go remember am for good as e go mark conception of my Los(my twin boys)
Praise God for He alone as blessed my womb!! Am super fertile and fruitful!

Hello dear which OPK did U use and how does one Use it.
I want to get an OPK,but haven't knw which to go for

I used Wondfo brand but I doubt if it's available in Nigeria. There's this popular one in Nigeria from Carrot Top drugs available in most big Pharmacies. Instructions on how to use is usually on the pack. But it's stick like just like the pregnancy test strip and is dipped in Urine.

I remember all the plans I made on grand ways to announce my bfp to dh. On the day i got the bfp excitement no let me remember all the plan. All I was able to do was say " hello daddy" when he came home some mins after I did the test.
