Lollllllllhahahah! Udoka u are preggy IJN! Let us not lose hope! Lmao but at 6dpo u need a bucket load of faith to believe that those are bfp symptoms.....so Ngwa take!(Throws a bucketful of faith at you)!

My dears these days I mock any symptom that wants to give me high bp! For instance I take off my blouse to take a bath, notice that my nip.ples are VERY very dark,hiss and walk away muttering 'idiot! Who do u want to frustrate!


As for the heavy and achy bre.asts...mtcheuw!!!That was my biggest ttc disappointment so these days IF I bother to poke it, I retort with a 'all these mumu false symptoms sef'
That's how I keep my sanity! As for POAS....don't even get me started! Last cycle I still Pissed on a stick the day after AF started!Is that faith or crase?

I bought opk (PREDICTE)..and this month for the first time I saw a faint line indicating ovulation.I and dh did the needful but one week later I used another one simply because I felt funny cramps in the ovaries!In my mind I was like 'Abeg I can't chout'

So am happy am not alone

@bebechuks. Welcome onboard. Its never too early to start. What is your diet like on a normal day and do u do any exercise at all?

@weightloss. Please this thread has unlimited space. Could u do us the big favour of posting the weight loss tips here? Thanks in advance.

So far no further embarrasing 'bathroom' breaks.....why am I a teeny bit disappointed? Could it be because I was really looking forward to the weight I would lose from sitting on a toilet all day?

Wow! So many testimonies and testimonies in the making.
Udoka. I am happy for you. My prayer is that u will get ur bfp dis month!

Mamatriplets. Na dis kin testimony they give me strength to go on! May ur triplets come this cycle too!

Congrats to all the mummys/mummys-to-be and all my clomid cycle buddies. All the best.

@Udoka infact there is nothing I have not heard in this ttc journey. If I hadn't seen the follicle myself, I'd have thot he made a mistake the previous scan. But I googled it and yeah it does happen. Could it be the Clomid I didn't take correctly that caused it? Am still hoping that I O'ed and that's why it disappeared. I felt a brief pain in my ovaries a few days ago. First on the right and den on the left. How I wish I can just get this bfp cos am fed up with the sympton spotting!

@Hebrewwoman. I am on 1000 daily (500 morn and night). I take it sandwiched with food.

Please am worried that Seanbell has not come in. Is she pulling a 'mypeace' on us? Does anyone here know her personally?Kindly re-assure us pls?

Hi ladies. This metformin is sumtin else o! D tin disgraced me today such dat I kept branching diff shops to use their toilet!

Infact as am typin, I dunno whether am feeling hot or cold! I have to really start watching my diet cos this drug is not a little girl at all!

@all

I have had the second follicular scan. A bit downcast because the dr didnt see the large follicle that he saw during the first scan two days ago.He saw smaller ones and the cluster of PCO.

He placed me on Metformin but am yet to start it cos of the various horrible testimonials .Things like 'if you eat sugar or starch/carbs the effects will be out of this world!' Maybe tomorrow I will start taking the drugs.....am currently drinking my last bottle of coke.

He said its either the egg got released or it got reduced in size. Though he didnt think it was the former, FX for 'it got released'. To be on the safe side, we'll dtd tonight incase eggy is still available.

But this PCOS na wa! I have a regular cycle so am kinda surprised. Except for some crazy AF pains everymonth and adding weight anyhow, i'd never have guessed.

Dr says not to worry it will happen. He is so reassuring. Even when I asked the price of IUI, he said I shouldnt think of that, that I should pray for it to happen naturally. A welcome change from my previous gynae.

By the way I am currently on Bromocriptine, hope its okay to take it with the Metformin and Pregnacare?

Meanwhile I am in for the prayers o! Please always add me by default too cos every opportunity to pray, I want to be in on it! I can say with confidence that this thread is strengthening my spiritual life....I am a different person now and I pray that the good Lord will continue to have mercy on my soul as I seek His face.

OMGGGGGGG!!!!! MSTIA I am so so happy for you you cant even imagine! ((((((((((((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Its the Lord's doing and it shall be permanent for the next 9 months in the mighty name of Jesus!!!!!!!!! AMEN!!!

I wish you a happy and stressfree 40 weeks hon! May the spirit of God never stop moving over this thread.

Hi all,
I have had the second follicular scan. A bit downcast because the dr didnt see the large follicle anymore. He saw smaller ones and the cluster of PCO.

He placed me on Metformin but am yet to start it cos of the various horrible testimonials .Things like 'if you eat sugar or starch/carbs the effects will be out of this world!' Maybe tomorrow I will start taking the drugs.....am currently drinking my last bottle of coke.

ebony13: @ Hebrew woman....induce period tanks my mistake. My dear the metformin shocked me out of my overconfidence. This is the first time I'm having side effects to any drug @ all and my dear it hit me hard! Even as i was taking it with food. Thanks dear waiting patiently for period.

LOL!!

I can't believe this. I feel like konking myself over and over. Apparently the dr said cd2 to cd6 and I don't know where I got it wrong!

Anyway the follicle scan shows a follicle measuring about 16 on the ryt side and other smaller ones(I saw the follicle, u need to see the beam of joy I gave the man a dark hole had never looked more beautiful to me than that follicle). He also saw some small follicles that looked like cysts and says he suspects PCO. I was asked to come back for a re-scan in two days.

If this cycle fails, then next cycle I'll look for the white box Clomid.

Meanwhile I need to lose weight but my biggest problem is eating dinner with dh. I really need to do a Twice-Daily-Weight-Watch-Fast this time. Heard it works wonders!!

1) If you hear a loud clap of thunder, put ur lips together and suck in air forcefully such that it makes a sound just like thunder.
This is so that 'thunder no go faya you by mistake'

(I know its not likely true but as a force of habit, I still do it till now).

2) Don't walk across water that looks like someone just poured it on the ground cos if it has pepper, your womanliness will pepper you.

3) A man should not walk under a clothesline where a women's underclothes are spread,or bath using a woman's bathing bucket, or allow a woman seeing her period to cross his legs!It is an abomination that changes men to woman wrapper. Meanwhile water from a man's bathing bucket can be used to cook or even fetch drinking water.

4) Do not sweep the dirt from a room at night as u could sweep away blessings.

5) If someone 'chuks' u with broom, the person MUST 'chuk' the pointed end of the broom on the ground three times for reasons I never got to know!

6) If u thot you heard your name and u answered only to find out that no one called you, go to the nearest person,ask the person to call ur name, answer then u can go in peace if not devil has just called ur name and you can die!
(I still do this too just for the heck of it!)

7) If u break a palm kernel and find two nuts inside, u will born twins.

If you wear your clothes backwards its a sign of goodluck.

9) If u see a masquerade when pregnant, you will give birth to a monster.

10) If u walk backwards at night, an evil spirit will slap you and ur face will remain in the direction of the slap permanently.

I could go on and on and on

udoka2: Hi my peeps!


Those jokes are hilarious . when l was temping, l could temp about 3times before day break. thats why l threw away the thermometer..it was causing me sleepless night jare.

cd 13 today, nothing serious is happening with me maybe from tomorow.

Lol! the crazy things we have done that will make the struggle more memorable..There was a time I read that the bossom will have veins. The next cycle I saw faint vein lines!!!! .The veins are still there almost one year down the line . So these days I dont even bother to poke them for pains cos I just end up frustrating my poor self!

Last cycle i didnt wanna dtd during my 2ww. But as usual, the light came on in DH's eyes (by the way could it be the size of the bossoms that turns it on?)and I started doing my sitting-room-sleepy-thingy. Then it occured to me that maybe, just maybe, my timetable is all wrong, his is right and am fleeing at the right time for bd

So I decided to dtd anytime the feeling takes us. Except when the Dr says not to ofcourse.

loliporp: Hi ladies A̶̲̥̅♏ new hear and hope i get help also nice 2 meet U̶̲̥̅̊ all

Welcome on board loliporp.

I don't know about others but I am really worried that these arguments may affect us spiritually.

I am seeing insults and stuff!Pls na, let's not fight on here.

@pslm23. This is so sad. I don't even know what to say!
Please don't let this weigh you down too much....look for a distraction. E.g take a trip to a place where no one knows you and try to revive the joy in ur heart.
Sometyms its d thot of 'what people who knew us say about or think of me' that makes it so much harder to deal with a breakup.

If u can take a break, move away from the people who u feel would judge u in one way or another (cos believe me,some of ur friends will blame u a bit and he may tell people things about u to make himself look good).

If u can afford it, go shopping for new clothes, things dat would make u feel good. All day, look beautiful and go to places where u can meet new people. Don't expect u to do rebound relationships but trust me, a compliment here and an attention there would build up ur self esteem and make u get over him fast!

Then IF there is a possibility that he may repent and u REALLY wanna work things out, then u must make urself look appealing like when he first met u and act okay till ur pain heals.
I say act cos if u want him to know what he has missed,then u must show him directly or thru reports he will get from mutual friends. If he likes the chase, then act non-chalant about d divorce even if u cry and pray in ur bed.This is if u want to work things out later.

Meditate on pleasant things happening to u. When u feel down,have a daydream about having all u ever wanted,hot body,sexy outfits,heads-turning strut and smile,Young God fearing man of ur dreams all over u, u preggy without stress with twins or triplets,etc.
It may sound foolish but try it a few times if u won't feel different about things.

I know a number of friends who invested btw 5 to 12 years of their lives,youth,time and money in relationships and when d guys were ready to settle down,they picked someone else and the girls were left without even a dime or a sorry! Not quite the same I know but then,its a betrayal too and if this worked for them,I guess it does work. I even have a colleague that used a rebound relationship (platonic with mutual understanding btw herself and the guy)to recover from a breakup, everytime she wanted to call her ex, she called the new guy. So she didnt feel so bad all the tym as she had someone to talk to.Not advisable tho cos most tyms it backfires.

Above all, you have God to turn to!Ask Him to prepare a table before u in the presence of your enemies and restore your soul.

I wish u the best. It is well with you IJN....Amen!!!

Pink so sorry it didn't work out dis time. Wish u a bfp next cycle!

joesQ: hello aladunni ow r u today pls can u kindly tell me whr u bought ur anion pad i called a lady nd she said she only sells in packs which is about 18 packets in it,i just need a few,op to hear from u soon.thx

Hi joesQ. The name of the pharmacy is pharmacare along Adekunle Banjo street before Magodo gate. Its the next building after a turnoff to a street called association street. Its near a TM shirt shop.
Sorry I forgot to ask my friend since...I just saw this post and coincidentally I am visiting Magodo today.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE TRYING TO CONCEIVE(contd)

..Double post deleted..

...double post deleted...

100 THINGS THAT LET U KNOW THAT U ARE TRYING TO CONCEIVE....

1. When everyone in the house knows what the plastic cups are for.

2. When you repeatedly look at your chart during the day, as if the temps may magically change.

3. When you can't sleep at night because you know tomorrow's temp is the MOST IMPORTANT temperature you'll take all cycle.

4. When you check your cervical position and cervical mucus as often as you check your email.

5. When all you want in the world is to gain an extra 30Ibs and feel uncomfortable, tired, emotional and sick for a whole 9 months.

6. When you talk using mysterious acronyms that only your TTC buddies understand: TTC, BD, EWCM, BBT, OPK, BFP, BFN, 2WW OR TWW, HPT,ETC.

7. When you buy 30 HPTs on eBay for three pounds because it’s a good deal, and hey, you can test every day!

8. When your OPK comes up +, you cancel all social engagements so you can BD and lie with your legs elevated and bum up in the air afterwards.

9. When you drink illegal doses of cough syrup a few hours before sex because maybe it will help your cervical fluids out.

10. When you’ve promised yourself that “this month you aren’t going to stress about it or think about it” but you know that is completely impossible to achieve even as you’re saying it.

11. When you’ve read every last article on Google as to why you might not be pregnant, and have a possible treatment plan to present to your doctor in addition to your charts and graphs.

12. When the only muscle you stir first thing in the morning is your arm muscle, to reach for the basal thermometer so you can test your temperature.

13. When the big 'O' refers to ovulation rather than orgasm.

14. When every twinge is a potential sign: ovulation pain OR perhaps implantation.

15. When your OH tells you that you 'look pregnant' and you're ecstatic rather than offended.

16. When the checkout lady looks at you funny as you check out with tampons and HPTs at the same time.

17. When you find ways to secretly touch your breasts in public to see if they’re sore.

18. When your breasts ARE sore but not because of your hormones but because you have been squishing them like play dough.

20. When for the first time in your life, you take the plunge into the unknown to feel your CP...an area where only your gyno has gone before!

21. When your morning motto is: "Don't talk to me until I've taken my temp".

22. When you take your temp more than once a day.

23. When you refuse to finish decorating that 3rd bedroom in your house, because you can't stand the thought of getting it just the way you want it only to have to tear it apart next month in order to make room for the nursery you'll be needing.

24. When you spend more on OPKs, HPTs, and fertility supplements than you do on clothes.

25. When the thought of nausea makes your heart skip a beat.

26. When you gravitate towards the HPT, OPK isle in every store.

27. When you try to find OPK's in every single store in hopes it you'll find them cheaper than where you've been buying them.

28. When you suffer silently from Infertility Vision (IV) - defined as the ability to see pink lines that nobody else can see. It's a very common condition among POASers during the days leading up to the official test day. Research is still being done, but at present there is no cure for it.

29. When you refer to sex as BDing and only do it in positions that are gravity-friendly.

30. When you stare at your nipples, scrutinising if they are darker/bigger/bumpier/harder than usual! (and really, they're just the same as they always were...)

31. When every time you need a wee you wonder if it's worth POAS and which kind to use?

32. When you start testing the ph level of your Pre-Seed, just to make sure it's still in the right zone for sperm protection.

33. When your first thought when a friend tells you they feel sick is “That b**** better not be pregnant”.

35. When you pee in the toilet, and just pee... it feels wrong that you're not peeing IN or ON something.

36. When you get up in the morning and pee without thinking. Then freak out when you realized you forgot to get the stick! Nothing worse than wasting FMU.

37. When you're watching a film and you shout out "Oooh she's using a FRER!"

38. When you feed your husband vitamins to get better quality sperm.

47. When someone refers to eggs and you immediately think of your ovaries.

48. When peeing is the one of the most interesting things you do all day.

49. When you dream about POAS.

50. When you change disks in the car CD player, and look down at the display that reads that you're listening to CD1 and think instantly think it's referring to “cycle day 1”.

****************TO BE CONTINUED********************************

Two sperm were swimming through a woman's body.
The first said, "Whew. I'm getting tired. Just how far is it to the uterus?"
"The uterus?" the second laughed. "We're not even past the esophagus yet!"

YOU KNOW YOU ARE TRYING TO GET PREGNANT IF......

You refuse to swallow spe.rm because all u can think about is how the poor little spe.rmies will be destroyed by stomach acid.

Thanks all,will keep em coming
Meanwhile I also wondered but decided to go along with him cos I haven't taken Clomid b4.

This morning during bd I noticed that I had lotiony cm such that we didn't need preseed. That's a first in a long while so I guess u r ryt bout 5days after....

My scan is scheduled to commence on CD 12 and am getting a trigger shot immediately the follicles are mature. Could I have O'ed b4 then?

Am really hoping for the best. I am using Softcups to take care of the retroverted uterus wahala so am really hoping for the best.

After a night of drinking, Kelvin crept into bed beside his wife who was already asleep.
He gave her a peck on the cheek and fell asleep. When he awoke he found a strange man standing at the foot of his bed wearing a long flowing white robe.

"Who the hell are you?" demanded Kelvin, "and what are you doing in my bedroom?"
*
The mysterious man answered, "This isn't your bedroom and I'm St. Peter".

Kelvin was stunned, "You mean I'm dead!!! That can't be, I have so much too live for, I haven't said goodbye to my family.... you've got to send me back right away".

St Peter replied, "Yes, you can be reincarnated but there is a catch.
We can only send you back as a dog or a hen."

Kelvin was devastated, but knowing there was a farm not far from his house, he asked to be sent back as a hen. A flash of light later, he was covered in feathers and clucking around pecking the ground.

"This ain't so bad" he thought until he felt this strange feeling welling up inside him.

The farmyard rooster strolled over and said, "So you're the new hen, how are you enjoying your first day here?"
*
"It's not so bad," replies Kelvin, "but I have this strange feeling inside like I'm about to explode".

"You're ovulating," explained the rooster, "don't tell me you've never laid an egg before."

"Never," replies Kelvin.

"Well just relax and let it happen,"said the rooster.

And so he did, and after a few uncomfortable seconds, an egg pops out from under his tail.

An immense feeling of relief swept over him and his emotions got the better of him as he experienced motherhood for the first time.

When he laid his second egg, the feeling of happiness was overwhelming and he knew that being reincarnated as a hen was the best thing that had happened to him....ever!!!

The joy kept coming and as he was just about to lay his third egg he felt an enormous smack at the back of his head and heard his wife shouting,

"Kelvin, wake up you drunken *******, you are shitting in bed!!!"

udoka2: @ebony
yes, it works for me that way..all the times, l ovulate 10days after the last pill. By God's grace am expecting O on CD19.
my doctor has onces placed me on cd2-6, it failed. He prescribed same style again, l changed it myself to 5-9 and it worked. Everybody is diferent shaa.

My doctor placed me on CD2-4. Maybe cos its the first time? If it fails I will change it myself.

REPOST

Being a parent changes everything. But being a parent also changes with each baby. Here are some of the ways having a second and third child is different from having your first.
Your Clothes
1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN confirms your pregnancy.
2nd baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible.
3rd baby: Your maternity clothes ARE your regular clothes.
---------------
Preparing for the Birth
1st baby: You practice your breathing religiously.
2nd baby: You don't bother practicing because you remember that last time, breathing didn't do a thing.
3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your 8th month.
---------------
The Layette
1st baby: You pre-wash your newborn's clothes, color-coordinate them, and fold them neatly in the baby's little bureau.
2nd baby: You check to make sure that the clothes are clean and discard only the ones with the darkest stains.
3rd baby: Boys can wear pink, can't they?
---------------
Worries
1st baby: At the first sign of distress - a whimper, a frown-you pick up the baby.
2nd baby: You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn.
3rd baby: You teach your 3-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing.
---------------
Pacifier
1st baby: If the pacifier falls on the floor, you put it away until you can go home and wash and boil it.
2nd baby: When the pacifier falls on the floor, you squirt it off with some juice from the baby's bottle.
3rd baby: You wipe it off on your shirt and pop it back in.
---------------
Diapering
1st baby: You change your baby's diapers every hour, whether they need it or not.
2nd baby: You change their diaper every 2 to 3 hours, if needed.
3rd baby: You try to change their diaper before others start to complain about the smell or you see it sagging to their knees.
---------------
Activities
1st baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, BabySwing, and Baby Story Hour.
2nd baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics.
3rd baby: You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaner.
---------------
Going Out
1st baby: The first time you leave your baby with a sitter, you call home 5 times.
2nd baby: Just before you walk out the door, you remember to leave a number where you can be reached.
3rd baby: You leave instructions for the sitter to call only if she sees blood.
---------------
At Home
1st baby: You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby.
2nd baby: You spend a bit of everyday watching to be sure your older child isn't squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby.
3rd baby: You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children.
---------------
Swallowing Coins
1st child: when first child swallows a coin, you rush the child to the hospital and demand x-rays.
2nd child: when 2nd child swallows a coin, you carefully watch for coin to pass.
3rd child: when 3rd child swallows a coin you deduct it from his allowance!

REPOST
During a 2WW I googled "orgasm during TWW,good or bad' and after reading I convinced DH not to dtd till AF shows.
He agreed but we were both ho.rny cos we'd just gotten married bout 3 months den!
Eventually I couldn't stand it anymore n one day sent him a text;
ME: am hornnnnyyyyyyyyy!
DH: me too. Am coming home soon,some action 4 me?
ME: ‎​as a matter of fact,am so ho.rny ryt now that even if am already pregnant,I don't care what an org..asm may or may not cause,do u?
DH: NOPE!!!!! Any pregnancy dat can't ride an orga..sm wit us probably isn't ours!
