I’m worried. I feel like baby is now moving too much from distress. This is a mistake I will never make again in my life. God ohhhh

calm down...
worrying will not change anything..the deed has been done already....
even scan that is being recommended, will likely not see anything wrong...its just a placebo.

even if perchance, scan sees something wrong, what can anybody do?..most likely nothing.
so sister chilax and pray and hope for the best, finis
go and sin drink alchohol no more..
some women smoke and drink truout their preg, and some end up with healthy babies, doubt 1 glass of wine would cause lasting permanent harm to your baby

UhnNah:
Laziness and majority thinks visas are complicated and only agents understands the process!

By the way,what’s the denial rate there? Are there smiles on people’s faces or the opposite? Lol

9 out of every 10 denied, in abuja,
i see lack of preparedness in most of the people going for interview, 1 woman with her kids, while eing grilled on what her husband does, was blubbering sometime about him being chief store keep of his company across the whole nigeria
another man was asked why he is going to vacation alone and not with his family...he couldnt provide a solid cogent reason

dont know if its tension or inferiority isssh....most folks kinda crumpled and developed a stammer / bluster during the interview

omodada1111:
Honourable mamas in the house, I throway salute oo.
Pls what month/date has embassy interview date in 2020 gotten to now?
If I want to apply now, what is the earliest date am likely to get?

abuja had as from early jan 2020.
lagos is from early march,

though hope you are aware, random early dates could pop up intermittently, as days go by

deybholar:
1. No safe box. You either leave your phone at home or in the car.

2. Reciprocity fee is 40,700. Only cash is accepted

3. Wrist watches are allowed but not digital watches (e.g iwatch)

hmmm, i though someone said he paid with his atm card?
kinda strange for a whole united states of A to be asking for cash in this 2019
pls some1 should reconfirm this

fkj950ax:
It's actually a way to ensure others using the site have the opportunity as you. Constant refreshing and visiting a page/site has a negative effect on bandwidth and hosting and other tech stuffs available for all users.

Strange policy, if you ask me.
i hv just visted the page maybe like 4 times after scheduling my interview
the policy is a bit unfair/not balanced...

i recall some people complaining of not being able to reschedule their interview dates some time ago, am fairly certain this might have been what happened to them, just that they were unaware of the warning msg

hmmm, these americans dey worry o.
so its now a crime to try and reschedule visa interview date?
so i booked interview date, and something came up, so i logged in to try and see if a better date is available, i saw the warning message on my profile

YOU HAVE VIEWED THIS PAGE TOO MANY TIMES, AND WOULD SOON E UNABLE TO EFFECT A CHANGE, YOU SHOULD CONCLUDE YOUR APPOINTMENT SOON......

sometin along those lines..didnt quote it verbatim.

has anyone seen this b4, or is this a new style?? wey dem wan use chop my visa fee 4 interview

oluayebenz:
Is the booking for visa processing or you have you visa handy already?

visa processsing..
why do u ask?

though i have seen the option to cancel, and then your money will be refunded back to your acct.
seems this is a new development, likely cause of the too frequent cancellations

who has used hotels.com reccently?
i made a booking yesterday , had issues with my usual card, as they kept refusing it. had to try a usd acct card..it sailed tru, but i was debited.
i read the fine print, and there is nothing like being debited for that booking, apart from their usual cancellation is free. and my present location , i cant make calls, to ask hotels.com what the problem is

MummyHalo:
Good day mamas. I'm a GTC mama, trying to work on my egg quantity and quality to help my chances(not doing IVF though). Please, what brands or types of ubiquinol and Dhea are better? I checked online and saw ubiquinol with enhanced mitochondrial function, super absorbable( cant remember the exact name)and another one that's just super ubiquinol. I also saw micronized dhea and some other types. Which one should I buy please?

this is very good, try to take at least 3 months b4 ur procedure. jumia had it for 17k, but seems to be out of stock now. its about the best ubiquinol in the market, as its 200mg and contains omega 3 as well

kenny2gbaski:
Please any doctor or someone experienced should please help with this

I got married last year 2018 and we decided to start having a baby, 6 months after trying and nothing worked, we took tests and we were both medically ok.

Let me chip in this, she suffers period irregularities (around 37 - 43 days interval) which makes calculating her ovulation a bit hard.

Please help, should i be worried? Is this normal, is it likely she lose the baby or is it lost already? If yes, why hasnt she seen blood yet.
If not, how can we increase her HCG.
Am so confused

the doc should have done hcg count, in addition with the pregnancy test, if preggy, the hcg count should be increasing, you can do the test every week, hope she has started taking progesterone

Scentseal:
Dear sis, has anyone info on Lily Hospital Warri. I am plan using them in December 2019. I was told that their success rate is high. i reside in port harcourt

Olawunmiabeni:
Good evening ma, Please am to start clomid tomorrow but I read it somewhere that I must meet my husband this cycle but his traveling on Tuesday can I wait till next cycle please is urgent thanks.

if ur husband wont be around during ur fertile window, what is the aim of taking the clomid now?...is it not a waste?
do u know what is the fuction of clomid?

you need to calculate your fertile window, if your husband wont be back then....makes no sense taking the clomid, unless there are other things you arent saying

Okay I will do that thanks.Just that no matter what I say dh has been avoiding this sperm analysis.Always postponing it.I am tired.

seems you guys are not seeing a gynae.
cos i believe he would find it hard to dodge if a doc tells him to...and doc insists no further treatment till he gets his semen tested

IdomaLikita:
Thank you very much.. I'll ask around.
I've read through the thread and heard alot of positive reviews about Gabbo in Gwarimpa. Will keep the 2 high up.

urcutecrush:
Good morning everyone.
I went for scan and the result showed minimum fluid in the pouch of Douglas.Anyone has an idea of what this means and how it affects me?
Also my cervix always seems low never high and soft.Do I not ovulate with that?This ttc journey has been an humbling experience truly.I wish all of us BFP soonest.

buy an opk to end all doubt about whether you ovulate or not, 2ndly you shud also do follicle tracking, at least 2 consecutive cycles..to be sure you ovulate ...hv u done hsg
has your dh checked his semen??

mrs2u:
Hello mamas, my menstrual cycle is not regular, it ranges from 61-45 days. We are considering IVF due to tubal blockage and low sperm count. Is it okay to induce period to start the IVF treatment? Experienced mamas please help.

ivf is an expensive and complex process, submit yourself to the docs/gynae, let them run the show, though arm yourself with info so as to be sure they are doing the right thing.

ivf has different protocols, Long, Short, Agnotist etc., some tell you to come on the 3rd day of ur cycle, some tell u to come on the 21st day of ur cycle...its results from ur tests that will determine the protocol, that the hospital will choose for you...................

Imanbkd:
Hello house please what should one take to increase IVF success rate i did once but was not successful they only retrieve 4eggs but 3 fertilize and 2 was transferred but was not successful i had fibroid removed last year October so I want to try again at Abuja in one hospital call Charisto bo headed by Dr Onaja please help me with advice.

harvesting only 4 eggs is low, are you above 40yrs??, what ivf protocol did they use?, what are the grades of the embryos transferred, i suppose it was day 3 transfer?. y did they transfer only 2?. the 1 they left behind...was it frozen?, do u intend to do a FET?, If yes to FET, BE ON A diet of avocado pear daily for at least 1month,

i would suggest you calm down, prepare your body for 3 to 6months...b4 trying again.
first detox your system, then be on ubiquinol and forever royal jelly, and omega 3 for minimum of 3months b4 u try again

Annabechick:
His sperm count is 13m/ 3.2ml

WHO standard is 15m/ml for sperm count, hopefully you know other parameters are also necessary for sperm to be classified as good, not just count alone, morphology, motility etc, you could google those and xchk his semen to be sure its ok too. he also needs to work on boosting his count, as its below WHO standard

Annabechick:
Good morning all, i just started following this thread, and i have been reading for a while now. Pls i have been ttc for four months now, went for a scan there was nothing. I met with gynae who gave me a stimulant injection, then i also took clomid. But still AF. My fiance suggested herbal ,we both went and the Ijaw woman told me that my womb is down and that is why whenever my fiance makes love to me, the sperm pours out. She said i will have to raise it up, i accepted. But after a while I started having serious lower back pain. Feeling pains on my lower abdomen. I have been so scared and don't know what to do

this was my advice to my younger sef, wish i followed it through.

intending couples should go for a complete fertility evaluation, scans , sperm test, uterus and tubes checks, so you enter the marriage with open eyes , infertility is on the increase, and would get worse as mankind continues on the wrong path of wrong foods&chemicals,
100yrs ago, avg sperm count was over 80m/ml, now its 15m/ml

fruitfulvine17:
Good day nairalanders,trust you are doing good,please am new here,thank God for searching and meeting this forum, straight to my point, me and my darling husband are trying to conceive for the past 3years,we have done series of test and everything was okey from my end,but my husband is azoospermia,we have tried herbs and there was no improvement, tho hubby can s not taking it serious,as I am the only one running up and down for solution, please if there is anyone who has gone through this as well and was able to overcome it with pregnancy testimony. please kindly share u testimony and what you used to overcome it.please I beg of you,I love my husband and I don't want to leave him.thanks God bless you.

first rule off, he doesnt have variocle, then try the fertile aid combo, take all 3 types daily.
1. fertilaid
2. fertilaid count boost
3. fertilaid motility boost.

is a lil expensive in nigeria, you could consider buying from usa, tru these nairaland shippers,

veneza:
Is cervical mucus a prerequisite for ovulation,I am yet to experience it after long time, period is regular with 28days cycle now.please Mama's in the house what test detects ovulation.

I took clomid some months back and I experience an increase libido,am plan on doing hsg this cycle if the finance is available. I don't know how to make this getting pregnant happen. A friend of mine is having ivf done with shepherd warri for 800k, just feel if am financially capable of doing same.
I just hope that does the magic.
I have done lots of pelvic scan and follicular tracking and eggs and womb in good shape.please mama correct me if am getting anything wrong.

how is your husbands sperm??...hope he has been tested.
how are your tubes....done hsg yet?
how is your uterine linning, shud be upto 9mm duing your follicular tracking, ie some days b4 ovu.
how is ur uterus?..hope no irregularities or anomalies seen

LORDTAY:
Hello Mamas in the house,my wife hardly shows ovulation symptoms like cervical mucus etc.Please what can we do?Also she is having low libido,how can we boost her libido?Thanks.

has she done hormonal profiling?.. to be sure she is even ovulating, that shud be the first course of action,
is she is ok, next course of action shud be follicular tracking, start from 5 or 6 days b4 her expected ovu date., if money isnt readily available, you can go direct to this option.

if everything is ok then no need to worry, just buy opk - ovu prediction kits and bd accordingly.
for libido and ewcm boost, let her eat plenty water melon, lemon water drink drink daily..best in the morning...and she could also supplement with taking maca, upto 2000mg daily

Abone2:
Someone Pls help me interprete this result ahead of visit to the doctor tomorrow. Especially the part at the bottom showing no 1 and 2. Thanks

those are standard terms, the koko is that no infection/organism was seen in the semen, you are infection free, go ahead and kpekus till bfp

@ fertilewoman, the report indicates fibroid and cyst on the right ovary, these 2 hinder pregnancy

Bgirl264:
Shithapuns, abeg no vex o. Are you a male or a female?

@mamasimi, abi mamasimbi, u na veli veli badt kpekusology mama o, like mummylegend of old

Mommdav:
Sure darling, when a woman sees her period it is the lining of her uterus that is shedding. I think another logic of vitamin C helping to reduce excess period is that vitamin c also helps increase progesterone.

Do you know that women take high dose of vitamin c to bring on their period or cause an abortion. Women in desperation to remove an unwanted pregnancy. Which in my opinion i think may cause problem in the long run.

still doesnt make sense to me, cos progesterone helps in making the linning grow well, thus keep the embryo attached, even docs advice women not to take oranges after ivf, cos of same vitamin c
anyway, guess i will google the issue whenever i have time. to understand it berra

migeoart:
PLs sabi mamas i have this question, a midwife was saying castor oil heat pack helps in fertility please how Also she said that taking lots of water, milk, nuts and protein can help the follicles grow faster especially for those who whatss to do trigger shots!!!pls i have never really heard of this!!we learn everyday!!if you know about these pls enlighten us it can benefit 1 or 2 mamas

all true!, follicles need protein to grow, fowl eggs are a good source of healthy protein 2 half boiled every morning for 1 or 2wks is good

Mommdav:
Rule out infection please, rule out adhesion (another reason for sudden reduction in period). Some type of medications too can cause this too.

Vitamin C for example can reduce your period. So mamas who have heavy periods can take 1000mg daily of Vitamin C to reduce bleeding (which is also beneficial if you have large fibroids and too thick uterus lining) drastically during period. It works before and during period. See? Whatever we take always have effect positively or negatively (God forbid)This is why we must ask questions and/or do proper research before taking anything whatsoever. Especially when ttcing. Vitamin C is very good but do not take excess when not necessary. Stick within 100 and 500mg. Except when needed in high does, like using 1000mg to reduce excessive menses.

Fertility blessings

so lemme understand something, the heavy bleeding during periods is the thick linning being shed away, so if a woman now takes the vitamin c to reduce the blood flow, what now happens to the thick linning already there??..it remains there?
