Good Morning house,

If a person is applying for the first time can they apply for 2 years visa straight or they must start with 6 months. Also can sumone list the document needed to be summited for visa application.
There is this misconception about ist timers going for 6months visa.

It all depends on your profile. If eg you are working in a bluechip company like exxonmobil, chevron, etc with good cashflow...u can do 2yrs as a first timer,

My first uk visa was for 2yrs, even though i wasnt working in a blue chip company, but my place of work get small weight and i had good cashflow....some yrs later my spouse also did 2yrs as a first timer with me as sponsor against the advice of people..and she was succesful as well...

But if u no get mind, or your profile no too strong, just jeje go for 6months .

As per docs.
1.payslip 6months
2.bank statement 6 months
3. Hotel accomodation booking.
4. Marriage cert if applicable.
5. Nice cover letter including your itinerary/places of interest you plan to visit

hi guys is there a way to send money from nigeria to the uk
Some of us still have funds in our account and still earn from nigeria
how do we send this funds here
send it to uk as what....nairahuh
people routinely sell pounds for naira in informal networks in the uk, as an OG, locate such people, agree on rates...collect gbp and initiate a transfer to their acct from your nigerian naira acct.

simplicite............any other option is a waste of time, someone mentioned bank atm cards. with the 20usd monthly limit by most nigerian banks, how much can you get in a month...even if u hv 10 cardshuh

Ohh, thanks so much will stop and reschedule for next cycle
ok, but always work with your doc, and ask questions and seek for clarifications.

low dose aspirin/baby aspirin is given to prepare the womb to receive the egg, so some hospitals start from 1 or 2 wks b4 the proposed embryo transfer and until bfp, or 3months or childbirth...my dw took it till delivery.

Good evening everyone, my fet cycle has just been canceled reason been that my endometrium refused to thin out after taking lupron injection last month. So I was told they have to cancel it and I should do heteroscopy to check the womb. I was taken these supplements vitamins E, cq10, aspirin and folic acid and prednisone could any of these have caused my endometrium not to thin out. The doctor isn’t answering my questions rightly please
aspirin should not be there...if your aim is to thin out your endometrium...somebori messed up by including baby aspirin if the aim is to thin out the endo...baby aspirin thickens endo!!!

Doctors in the house I need help.I have been married for almost four years. It will be 4yrs in September. I have been having issues with ejaculation and orgasm. I was advised by a doctor friend of mine to do hormonal profile test which I did. Then I was told that my testosterone was low. At this point there was nothing for me to do. So I sought help from others who said I should do sfa, yet sperm was not coming out except once in a while when it poured on me. I was advised to take pepsi in the lab to try and force semen out for sfa to be doe. This failed. To cut the long story short, I have erection but no sperm till date. What can I do now?
you might have a blockage, or you are not excited enough. when did you start noticing this no sperm issue?...so you mean you can have se.x for hours...and wont ejaculatehuh?...how then do you get satisfied -- women will love you, if so., or you loose your erection midway into the sex?

I'm not a doctor but I have learned that your sperm needs to reach maturation (spermatogenesis) before you can get a woman pregnant this takes about 65 days meaning you have to abstain from sex for you know how long.if you can do that then meet your madam 16-18 day s after her period which is the ovulation window a time she is most likely to take in,a miracle might happen, also rhesus factor or compatibility is important.
, half truths...to give woman belle..you need fresh sperm. sperm is freshest when you abstain btw 2 to 4 days

I added a PV inverter to my system. I am shocked at the relative ease with which it was done. I know a few within the group have done the Victron and Fronius set up. This was much easier and rewarding.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rDRDPKX0gQ
interesting video, however can you explain for a layman what is actually going on there.

is a pv inverter different from a hybrid inverter?

why did you connect the output of 1 inverter to the gen input of another inverter?

SINCE YOU PLAN TO BUY most items yourself, why not consider buying the lifepo4 cells from china and have someone build the pack for you for a small fee................or you buy the ready built packs by the guy in jos, his 48v 300ah pack was 1.5m last time i asked.

but buying the cells from china, you would spend about 90 to 130 usd per cell, ie 3.2v 280ah eve ,catl or rept cell, freight inclusive, so a 560ah 48v cell, made up of 32 pieces would gulp about 4k usd or less, which is real value for money. 29kwh!.

we wrapped up a group buy of almost 150 cells in april, and they are already enroute nigeria..hopefully july will make landfall in naija, you and likeminded souls could organize a similar group buy to save more cost..................forget about buying panels from china, its not worth it
good

Hello Mamas, please what cycle day is best to go for a TVS? I have a 27-29 day cycle and plan on going for the scan on day 12, please advise.
ovulation happens about 14 days before the start of your menses. for a 29day cycle..i would suggest u start tvs on cd 11 or 12 and be prepared to do 2 or 3 scans, if money is tight and you want to gamble, then cd 13 is ok

Clomid 100mg have taken it for 3 cycles and in this 4th cycle my gynecologist added tamoxifen 10mg together with the clomid and betaHCG shots for 3times now
My dear I'm over worried and hopefully and prayerfully this works this time.
Baby dust to all of us.

Cc sugah
would recommend you dont exceed 4 cycles on this clomid, its not a very good drug, for continous usage, for me one or 2 cycles max..with 1 year . it causes more harm than good. there are oher ovulation drugs, letrozale, bitter leaf etc

helo Thankd for your response, I have endometriosis and have been trying for a little over 2years. Do you think having a laparoscopic surgery is better or go for ivf?
IVF RESULTS ARE poor with endometriesis, best you try handling the endo first
laproscopy helps to scrap off the endo tissues, but it tends to grow back after a while if preggy doesnt occur.

endo is routinely diagnoised in ttc women, my dw was diagnoised of endo by 1 doc a while back, but today is a proud mom.

eat lots of soursop, avocado pear and castor oil massage. you will overcome

Please any help for me?
First Doctor said mild PCOS as cycle is very regular and I ovulate.
Doctor 2 said it's full blown PCOS and that I do not ovulate.
He ran a scan on my 12th day and said the eggs didn't develop.

I'm confused because I have never missed my period. Is it not unfertilized egg that goes out as period?
Does it mean I ovulate at other times not between the 12th and 14th?
I see the slippery mucus each cycle for about 3 days around day 12 upwards.
try going for follicular tracking in a good lab. that is the only tested, reliable sure test to know if ovulation occured or not. even the size of the follicles would be seen,.

period flow is shedding of uterine linning that built up in anticipation of implantation...its not a guarantee for ovulation

In my opinion, why not go for suspended ceiling. Installation and materials is @ 2100 per sqm. It is better to either of your two choices.
Wow, that cheap.
How come its cheaper than "asbestos"
Or couuld someone confirm the price of the old ceiling board calleed asbestos in nigeria.

Pop is out of it, as itss an old village house, being renovated, it could leak or something happen.

Also the roof is shed roof, so no space inside the roof to enter and work. I hope it wont be an issue, as i recall seeing suspended ceilings inside caravans.
