Please who can help out with a short stay accomodation around gwarimpa, am due to start my second ivf circle with Grabbo in few days. Thanks.

if you are conversant with airbnb, you could give it a shot, stayed in one last time i was in abuja, and was pleasantly suprised, swore never to stay in hotels again whenever am in abuja,

searched in gwarimpa, and this looks cheap, you may search further for other better options

knightingale:
Thank you sir.... While I can't hold them responsible for the result we got, I can still hold them responsible for not telling us some important information we needed to know. If we had known the outcome of the embryos on time, we might have cancelled the cycle.

Anyway, we share our experience here so others can prepare better when planning theirs.

ewwww, thats a horrible place to cycle then.
now you have narated the whole story, the bulk of the blame lies with the hospital,
would advice people to quit cycling with them, until they turn a new leaf.

ivf is emotionally and financially draining enough, not to add the wahala of rubbish docs to the mix.
one can only wonder what trully happened, if they gave your blasts to another couple or the embroyotologist messed up and all the embies died..and they couldnt tell you guys

knightingale:
I know there is no certainty with ivf but my overall experience there is not satisfying at all. They won't tell you anything, you won't even know the number of follicles they retrieved, the protocol you are on and so on. I got to know the number of matured embryos that we have when I was on the table waiting for transfer after I asked the doctor.

sorry for the bfn, it could be heart breaking, we went through that as well, in our first ivf.
i am not defending kingswill, nor affiliated with them in anyway, however am just laying out general advice for all

1. in this ttc matter, you need to research, research and research, so you can engage the medical people better, from a point of knowledge.in nigeria medical practise, the unspoken way of life is : need to know basis, if something isnt critical or your knowing doesnt have any effect on the outcome,and you dont ask...the docs will not tell you, only very few will.
am sure if you asked the doctor what protocol you are on, how many blasts, egg etc..during the course of the procedure..they would have told you. you didnt ask, and they assumed you didnt want to know/wouldn't understand even if they tell you ---yes some people are like that, they dont want to be bothered with all the medical info etc

our first ivf, my level of knowledge ended at only asking for the nos of eggs harvested, blasts to be transferred, protocol etc...i didnt know about grading of blasts, i didn't ask..and wasn't told...i didn't hold it against them. our next ivf, i was better prepared, and got copies of everything, asked for grades of the blasts, and understood what they meant, the doctor could see i had some knowledge and engaged me properly @ my level

my dw, on the other hand, didn't have much knowledge, her level of knowledge remained almost same except what i told her, so if i wasnt involved, the 2nd ivf may likely have remained same for her, and the doctors wouldn't have told her anything as well.i made a couple of suggestions to the doc, which he accepted and agreed to.

Which is maca Pls? Enlighten me

maca is a herb, it helps in balancing hormone in females, and works for males in sperm and testesterone production. black maca is better for males, while red and yellow maca is better for females its sold in big pharmacies, also on konga and jumia

Tokyoheist:
Is it true that it's only surgery that could correct this

SADLY its like fibroids in women, surgery is the only major tried and trusted way out. there are stroies of other methods, however they are unverified

Adorablemom:
Good morning everyone, please someone should help me interpret this result and possible treatment. Thanking you in advance.

not looking good.
fibroids and blocked tubes.

Tripletwins222:
Thanks for your inputs sis.
I've just gone through her page and she has a lot of pictures there including her hubby's pix. They even look wealthy on the pictures. Just found out that both of us are in the same fertility support groups and some other groups. What baffles me is how she sent a friend request and immediately I accepted, she started asking for help. That means that was why she sent me the friend request.

does she have a real sounding name on fb?.. and same name in fertility group?.. if yes..tell her to send her account details, if the names match, then she is likely real.

on on nairaland, scam beggars boku, they send pm first

mrflex999:
I cannot get that lubricant ,the lady said I can use saliva or soap but I should make sure if doesn’t get Into the container

How true is this ?

the lady is ignorant, saliva is anti sperm, same as soap, soap is even worse.
try coconut oil, try and use as little as you can, so as not to affect or contaminate the result volumes

mrflex999:
Haba

It’s not possible to masturbate Dry

I have a problem on this

no biggy, buy preseed lubricant , go to the lab with it, when going for sfa. some 'legends' can actually do it dry, till precum flows to aid the process

mrflex999:
Okay thank you for this

But please do you have idea if masturbation affect the sperm ?

yes and know, when doing sfa, you are instructed to mas,turbate dry..but many people have problems doing this, if you must use a lubricant, ensure its a sperm friendly type..if you produce an sfa sample tru masturbation using non sperm friendly lube, it would affect your result negatively

The best way to cool your balls: a guide to manly cooling



Copied from https://dontcookyourballs.com/icing-balls-improve-fertility-skinny-testicular-cooling/

wow, good info you got there.
am a big fan of cooling, stumbled upon it while researching on testosterone boosting since last yr, my balls increased in size a bit, my scrotum also , and my sperm parameters spiked, dw got preggy & delivered..would upload my result someday. was doing other stuff as well and taking supplements, so cannot pinpoint exactly if it was the cooling that did the trick .
testicular cooling is also said to help in resolving variocle, however not much data on this

Meeenah:
Take it from me my sister, if you have been trying to concieve for sometme now and you are not successful, your tubes may have issues. Unless there are other issues you have maybe sperm quality. More over if two hsgs gve conflictng results its best to go for laparascopy which is also the definitive test for tubes. Go with an experienced gyneacologist and also supplement yourself.

just throwing this out there..
inside the tubes are fine hairlike structures called cilia, that aid the movement of the egg inside the tubes, if they are damaged, they hinder conception as well, or even lead to ectopic pregnancy , as the egg remains stationary in the tubes. infection, pid etc may damage this cilia

MamaHeaven:
Thank you. I just thought to get a second opinion before starting any form of treatment. I plan to do a laparoscopy if the diagnosis has been confirmed. I had done a test sometime in 2017 and the result was bilateral blockage, only for me to do another a month after, and both tubes were free. It can get really confusing at times, which is why I wanted to be very sure before taking next steps. I have been trying for 5 years, and my doc is of the opinion that I do a second IVF. I can't afford it right now, so I'm trying to explore an alternative option.

while ttcing, my dw had similar issue, since you say ivf funds arent available, would suggest you dont rush off to do another hsg as meenah and other users hv suggested,

commence castor oil massage and serrapeptase upto 480,000iui daily, you can also add the chinese teas as well. if perchance your tubes are not blocked, these serve to enhance uterine and reproductive health as well, so nuthing to loose

Thanks I've taken all sorts, for a while it has been changing, 28, 29, 31,32, pls what should I do or take to increase the progesterone because my gynae said the result is okay but I was not satisfied his response,
Also pls what test is done to determine if I ovulate, thanks




if a person is experiencing cycle irregular like 28,29,30,31. How will one be able to calculate her ovulation period.

2 or 3 days difference in cycle length is perfectly normal, you should focus more on treating any other issues you may have, rather than trying to have a clockwork accurate cycle.
while ttc, my dw had a perfect cycle, 29/30 days...yet she didnt conceive, sperm was ok, tubes open, ovulation occured..etc

Battleground:
Good evening everyone. I had sex for the first time in 7 months and my semen wasn't white, creamy or grey. It was slightly yellow and watery. I thought it's meant to be healthy and thick if one hasn't ejaculated in a long time so why is mine different. Any idea as to what might have caused it? Anything to take to improve this condition? Thank you

go to a lab and do sperm test and culture. it will tell you if your sperm is good, and if you have infection

Confusedgirlie:
As much as I don't like porn, this is ignorant information at its best. I think you need to reeducate yourself on the subject
https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/all-about-sex/201908/does-pornography-cause-erectile-dysfunction
https://www.vice.com/en_nz/article/mgy9pp/a-few-hard-truths-about-porn-and-erectile-dysfunction

are you male?. do you masturbate frequently?.this is a simple matter.
watch porn and masturbate with it for 1 or 2 months, and come lets talk again.
the whites hv this agenda oF saying masturbation and porn dont cause or worsen ED, big fat lie.
masturbation n porn rewires your brain, especially the sexual pleasure centers.

lets say guy A likes porn, his favourite is large breasted women getting shagged hard, over time this conitions his brain to associate sexual pleasure with only large breasted women, since he usually masturbates to organsm with these video/images. so if he is now with small breasted woman, which his brain has been rewired to associate with low sexual pleasure, he would find it hard getting and maintaining an erection..zero excitment.
this is just a simple analogy

even nairaland is littered with poor souls who cant get an erection again, due to chronic masturbation and porn. you can search and see for your self.

Have bin having weird feeling in my lower left abdomen for some days now and backache and am two days late with my period, pls can I be pregnant
2nd I also did myomectomy (removal of fibroid) Jan 29 and have bin trying since den and place of the stitch look swollen, is it normal ?

i thought the norm is to avoid getting preggy for 3 to 6 months after fibroid surgery, to enable ur uterus heal properly to withstand the stress of pregnancy??
@pregnancy, if you can test with the pregnancy strip @ home...though its best to wait for 7 to 14days to avoid disappointments/false negative

Jellos:
Hello dear, I think it best you go for Hormonal Profile test and TVS before consulting anyone. "The people doctor"on Instagram will ask you to make payment of 20k first before further discussion, so why not go for the test first in a laboratory then send the result here and expect sabi mamas to give answers...just my own cent

waaawwwuuuuuuuuuuuuu, 20k first, for online consultation , what we do free here.
anyway, they gotta make a living, i guess

Abiyenimi:
Hello mothers and mothers to be pls I need your advice and recommendations.
I got married at the age of 26, 4 years ago as a virgin but it's been a difficult journey so far. My husband rarely have sex with me the highest is twice in a month, other times when I make demands or try to seduce him it ends in fight and he will avoid me for days by coming home late or sleeping in another room. We went to the hospital and did all test which confirmed that I was fine but my husband had a low count after alot of different things the count has improved but sex is still non existent. I was hoping to use the lockdown period to improve our sex life and if God wills conceive but we havent had sex in the 3weeks at all because he can't get an erection no matter what I do. Mothers pls what can I do? Has anyone experienced this? We have used all manner of herbs and drugs, we have even tried to ignore the problem and relax yet no result.

sorry about the situation.
poor erection in males is a complex issue, could be caused by so many different/personal/sensitive factors. the man himself needs to throw away shyness and take charge of the situation. its best he visists a hospital and opens up to a doctor, as some of the causes could be personal/sensitive.... but he could try these, for a few weeks while preparing to meet a doctor. its the poor erection that is making him run away from you . poor erection and premature ejaculation go hand in hand. over exposure to porn and masturbation follow dey cause this isse sometimes

are you guys sexually exposed?, if yes, you could give you a Mouth Gig, while he is relaxed and sleeping, to see if he would get an erection [thats the best time for any man to get an erection- as he is relaxed, and his mind is free], if he gets an erection, my sister..mount and ride away , however try not to overuse this style and keep it for special days when you are ovulating

let him stop smoking, soft drinks, process ed sugars, flour, soy products, especially this popular viju milk, he should take up exercising, like moderate jogging, swimming, lawn tennis etc. take ginger, garlic first thing in the morning, or last thing at night, eat more fruits especially dabino, watermelon[including chewing the seeds], cucumber
go to a lab and do a testerone test, cost btw 7k to 12k.

lastly, the sperm count he did, was any infection detected?. some infections and chronic malaria sometimes causes poor erection in males

you should begin to see results in abt 3wks, if the cause of his issue isnt psychological.

I was trying to upload their pictures but
I don't know why the pictures are not uploading.
One is colour white & yellow while the other is white, red & light blue. Tanx

The Most Important Thing is Love and Fear Of God.

I got married to my beautiful and loving wife fourteen years ago. We courted for four years before marriage and me strictly observed no sex before marriage. We both came from a background that discouraged premarital sex and we were cool with that. While we were dating, I observed that she was always having severe menstrual cramps and pain for 2-4 days every month but we never took it as something serious.

This is our story.

I narrate this story to encourage all those who are TTC not to give up in showing love to their spouses and to have the fear of God. I prayerfully and earnestly look forward to the day my wife will carry our baby in her arms with a smile in her eyes.

wow, may God answer you speedily.
however, severe menstrual cramps is usually caused by fibroids and endometriosis. i wonder why it took you/the docs so long to make this simple diagnosis?. my brother, the best helping hand in this whole wide world is the one at the end of your arms, a couple of hours googling would have narrowed the probable cause to this 2 agents long ago...in ttc leaving everything in the hands of docs isnt always a wise move. you guys gotta wake up and take charge....in addition to prayers!

for endo, would advice she quits all processed sugars/flours....or if she cant immediately, let her stop 1 wk b4 her period, it reduces the pains greatly. 2ndly ruzu bitters also aleviates this [ain, 3rdly, there is another common herbal medicine sold in pharmacies that works even beta, i would update when i remember the name

sorry, if i may have come across as being harsh, i detest infertility so bad

Fertilady:
Hello house, how is our day going? Pls am a bit confused about what to do next. I have been on serrapeptase 120,000iu and the Chinese teas for blocked tubes. I have taken them for a month and two weeks and they are both about finishing. I don't know if I should get another bottle of each or to go for another HSG, or flushing?? Please mamas, advise me on what Next I should do. Thanks

1 month is too small, 3 to 6 months best..120, 000iui is also low, increase it to x3, or as much as you can afford.

add castor oil massage to it as well

giftfromGod:
Pls don't get offended. When I got to know I had huge fibriods, I was told to stay alway totally from any thing called egg, that it contributed to my huge fibriods. Although I have done surgery of recent , but that fear of do not take eggs is still there. Infact I have deleted anything called eggs from my list. So please can you shield more light on the eggs part.
Secondly , today was my appointment date and I asked my GYN when I can start trying or even get close to hubby. She told me I must wait for three months post surgery. That when such surgery is done it is adviseable , if such person values her life.
This bring me to ask, resuming back to intimacy after first period of surgery, will that not be risky to such fellow life?
I think one needs to be fit mentally and emotionally before embarking on such risky adventure.

stumbled on this, doesnt hurt to try, nothing to loose. its all naturale

FIBROID CURE

you didnt state, after how many days of abstinence..
if greater than 6, i suggest, you redo after 3 days of abstinence.
your count is 17m/ml...this is a bit fair, slightly lower than WHO standard of 20m/ml. your active motility is also low, abnormal forms is high..suggesting long days of abstinence perhaps

so many drugs to try, but i would suggest, redoing sfa after every 4months, so you know if that particular drug is working for you or not.
this is because, of diff metabolism, some drugs work for some and dont work for others, addyzoa didnt do shit for me, but i had great improvements with the complete fertileaid combo . eats lots of cucumber, dabino, watermelon also
