***I read this on yahoo news this morning and felt the urge to share because a lot of waiting mothers die in silence when there are still a number of ways of becoming biological mothers to their children. Read on....



Annie and Joby Johnston of Lewis Center, Ohio, decided last February to take a break from the surgeries, in-vitro fertilization and artificial insemination they'd gone through for five years to try to have a baby.

"We were tired of doing the same thing and expecting a different result," Annie, 34, told GoodMorningAmerica.com. "Chrissy was our different thing this time around."

Chrissy is Chrissy Knott, Annie's only sibling and older sister, a 37-year-old married mother of two boys.

Knott told her sister and brother-in-law in 2011, after their first few rounds of in-vitro failed, that she would carry their baby for them. Two years later, on Feb. 19, the Johnstons took her up on her offer and a doctor implanted two embryos in each sister.

"The doctor made sure that everyone was OK with the possibility of four babies because it was possible," Johnston said. "But, for us, after trying for so long, we were just trying to increase our chances of getting at least one."

Nine days later, the two sisters found out that they were both expecting a baby. One month after that, at the seven-week ultrasound, the two sisters learned they were each carrying twins, classified technically as quadruplets.

"I was relieved, more than anything, that the babies were still developing," Johnston said. "My husband, I think, was thinking more down the road of what we were going to do with four babies."

Joby Johnston didn't have too much to worry about, fortunately, in terms of helping hands considering the two sisters live only seven houses apart. The sisters' parents, upon finding out their family was growing by four, put their house on the market and moved from nearly two hours away to live with the Johnstons and prepare for the babies.

On Oct. 24, Johnston and Knott gave birth to four healthy babies in scheduled C-sections so that the quadruplets would share the same birthday.

"My sister was carrying the two boys, and she delivered first, so I could be there in the room for her when she had them," Johnston said. "Two hours later, at 9:30 a.m., I delivered the girls."

The babies - Charles (6 pounds), Thomas (6 pounds, 2 ounces), Grace (5 pounds, 7 ounces) , Hadley (5 pounds, 4 ounes) - were all born healthy.

"We still can't believe it sometimes," said Johnston.

Johnston said the family had transformed the great room of their four-bedroom house into a makeshift nursery until the babies were big enough to sleep in their cribs. She and her sister are both pumping breast milk and feeding the babies with bottles, which allows "more hands to help," said Johnston.

Once the babies are big enough, they'll move upstairs into their nursery, and eventually be told by their mom and aunt the happy tale of how they came into the world.

"We're very thankful for what she did for us," Johnston said of her sister. "We're very grateful and thankful that they're all here."

Oooooh
Let me have my babies first - I'd sooo do this for someone else.
Always wanted to be a surrogate - but na d mama go breastfeed her own pikin.

Salsera, its true Dear, one can't be a surrogate mother to their relatives and friends when they dont have theirs. Inasmuch as the bill has not been passed in the house of reps, I doubt if its illegal when matured ladies are used as surrogates cos a lot of fertility hospitals are involved in surrogacy.

Meanwhile, dont know why Nigerians are so scared of commenting on surrogacy issues whereas people keep sending me emails asking if I have or know anyone who wants to be a surrogate. Abeg, let me state it categorically, I"m not an agent, neither do I have or know of anyone who wants to be a surrogate mum. If I have such links, I won't wait 7yrs to have a baby cos I would have used them myself after several failed iVfs. Am only posting information on this topic so waiting couples who have the means and resources can also look in this direction since its a better option than adoption.

hi Blendy77,
Pls how can i contact you? my mail is excelvictor@yahoo.com. Thank you

INFERTILITY MANAGEMENT WITH BELL PRODUCTS: MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
By Dr (Mrs) Anthonia Kusa, Private Practitioner

I have been in practice for several years, using only natural herbs to assist in the management of Infertility and many other health disorders. We have been recording good results ever since with several happy patients. I have been using BELL LIFESTYLE PRODUCTS in addition to our other regular remedies. We have recorded increased and effective results in our management of several cases. A Couple came to the clinic in May, 2011 with record of Infertility for five (5) years. The man had low sperm count and infections. The woman had Ovarian Cyst and the blockage of the right side fallopian tube, which needed an operation. I decided to use Bell Products on them. I had met Dr Anucha, who introduced me to Bell range. The Couple were placed on Acidic stomach alkaline Balance and Intestinal Cleansing. This is to detoxify their system. Thereafter, they started on Fertalin and Stem Cell Activator in addition with Supreme
Immune Booster for the woman, with few of our other products to open up the blocked fallopian tube. After three months of treatment, we repeated the routine investigations. Semen analysis of the man showed increase from 6 million to 21 million, with good motility. For the woman, the ovarian cyst had disappeared!
Notwithstanding, we still placed them on Fertalin and other remedies for timely ovulation. After four (4) months of medications, she became pregnant. She put to bed a bouncing baby boy in June, 2012.
Also a health practitioner in Saudi Arabia had the problem of Amenorrhea without pregnancy. She has been on contraceptive pills for months and was also having ovarian cyst. We placed her on natural remedies including Bell Products; hear her testimony on the phone…….
“Thank you doctor. My menstrual circle was 35 days and has been regular, the cyst are disappearing. Thank you ma”
Another lady with fibroids who was placed on herbal remedies said also on the phone …“good evening Ma,
it shows in the scan report of today that the fibroids have reduced. The scan report in August read 10.3cm by
10.6cm before the treatment while today report reads 2.92cm by 7.89cm”
These are just few extracts from our records showing that Bell products are highly effective in Infertility and
gynaecological management

RECOMMENDATIONS
* Avoid vigorous exercises, hot tubs and saunas as they lead to changes in ovulation and reduced
sperm counts. Get ovulation kits from Bell Lifestyle to monitor your ovulation period.
* Do not take any drugs except those prescribed by your physician.
* Do not smoke and avoid being around cigarette smoke and smokers.
* Do not consume animal fats, fried foods, sugar or junk foods, balance up your PH. Use Acidic
Stomach Alkaline Balance
* Increase intake of fresh fruits and vegetables
* Regular total body detoxification
* Adequate water intake
* Avoid some ulcer medications. They may decrease sperm count and even cause impotence. Try Acid Refluxand Indigestion Tea/Acidic Stomach Alkaline Balance
* Learn stress management techniques and deal with stress that can be avoided. Try Bell Calming Chronic Stress
* Caffeine consumption may prevent some women from becoming pregnant. Drink natural caffeine free tea.
* For women bearing children in later years, try Stem Cell Activator
* Avoid overgrowth of unfriendly bacteria, candida, fungi or parasites. Most gynaecological infections resulting to Infertility are caused from Microbes that crept into the Vagina and Uterus from the Colon (Anus). Try BellColon Cleanse, Virux Viral, Bladder and Yeast Infection
* Increase the intake of wholesome foods rich in vitamins and mineral
* Increase intake of essentials fatty acids, oily fish, fish liver oil, seed nuts, pulse, beans and unrefined vegetables oils.

Also read about it in the news. Its more economical if family members who already have children can consider being surrogates to tcc couple in that family.

Unfortunately, acceptance here in naija is still relatively low, but i know in the near future, pple will begin to embrace it.

Good evening mama, please why did you say she should abstain from Clomid, my doc just prescribed it for me, but to be honest am kinda skeptical about using it.

clomid stimulates the ovaries to produce a lot of follicles, when this stimulation has been done more than once, the womans body will tend to start producing multiple follicles that never grows to maturity...(pcos) and besides it has a lot of side effects, you can take it with black cohosh to help reduce the side effects

Thank u so much.. Have never heard of black cohosh, pls where can one get it? Are there natural alternatives to Clomid, if yes, I think I would prefer going the natural way. Thanks

gracechinwe:
pls blendy77, do u really know the right drug that can be used to treat high prolactin level successfully

O so sorry Dear for the late reply. I haven't visited this site in a long while.
Not much idea about prolactin. I heard of bromocripton. Also heard it has bad side effects as well.
Also heard drinking ewedu helps a lot. No much idea how it's prepared. Check the ttc group or Google for more info

There is no define Law on surrogacy yet in Nigeria. That is why when accessing this services, one has to be very careful. You Need an experienced agency to help you with it. Your Legal documentation has to be properly done. We also don't recommend couple going in for traditional Surrogacy because the legal processes and documentation are More.

Also using your family Member is cheaper but also you don't want someone coming to teach how to raise your kids after they are born, because that relative will be emotional attached to the kids.

At Newlife ,we provide Gestational surrogate and suitable Egg and sperm donors for IVF purposes in NIGERIA . visit our website at www.newlifeconceptualoptions.com.

You are very correct here. A lot more people are embracing surrogacy which is a plus and it's no longer a hush hush hidden thing as it used to be before now

Julbu:

Of course surrogacy is not for everyone. If u can get pregnant easily on your own whether thru IVF, IUI or naturally, you definitely don't need a surrogate to carry a pregnancy for you. But if your situation is one that you have done IVF multiple times with no result even with no known issue, or you are advanced in age and iVf is also not working as well, or u have medical issues and can afford someone carry ur baby/babies for you then you should look towards surrogacy instead of moving from one prophet to d other looking for solution where there is none. Sad thing is a lot of those who can afford this and are advanced in age will rather not look this direction because of what will people say syndrome
