@ Cjone agreed "who/what is that "that's says a thing and it comes to pass when the LORD GOD has not said so?

"Don't be afraid of the space (time) between your dreams and (its) reality. If you dream it, you can make it so" ~Belva Davis

"The world is round, the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning" ~IVY BAKER PRIEST

"Even if I knew that the world would end tomorrow, I would plant my apple tree today" ~ Martin Luther (the reformer)

May you find fresh reasons not to give up on life today, its a beautiful day, its a good day, its a day of joy, its a new beginning. Remember its never over until it is over. God is on side!

Good morning *hug*

@ joy the one at Everyday is not the right one.

@caringpro I already got through someone in Lagos. She sent it through ABC.

@Multiply I believe you should first sort out the PCOS before doing any ART.

I know someone who had it, her first IVF failed then she met a doctor who sorted out the PCOS. 3 natural conception and delivery followed after.

@DonaTee I sent money to a friend in Lagos, she bought ACV and sent down thru ABC to PH for me.

@Babe01 I believe the safest way to get orgnic coconut oil is to make it yourself. Teacher google/youtube will teach you how. If you live in Lagos check healthplus or medplus for ACV and BSM.

There is a man on nairaland who also sells this products I believe he can ship them to you too.08066459862, 08029755959 - Mr. Peter Obidike though I hear he is expensive.

@Hopeful God bless you. The bible says that He that waters shall be watered. For these seeds of love that you have sown expect great harvests in Jesus name.

Laughter, rejoicing, knowledge, the love of being here when someone needed you. God will surely pay you back.

Maybe you should stay off the bitters for now. Too many bitters in the market self, all claiming one benefit or the other.
HealthRe: Anyone Trying IVF/IUI/ICSI (Fertility Treatments)? by smiler(f): 5:28pm On Nov 22, 2013
@ Wazoboy do you mean 8 or 8 million.

Anyway, before you think of doing either IUI or ICSI, could you give yourself atleast 6 months of lifestyle change. This will work on your cells. When the s.p.e.r.m cells are not healthy there is a high chance of miscarriage after conception.

Yourself and madam should go on a diet change, people swear by organic apple cider vider with mother, organic and unsulphured black strap mollasse (BSM). Fertilaid or fertility blend. Organic maca root. Eat more of vegetables and fruits cut of processed food as much as possible.
Try reading through the TTC thread.

May God grant you your heart desires in Jesus name, amen.

@Ayaakanoh *hugs* to you my dear. As we do not know how the bones of a child is formed in the womb that's how you will not know how God will give you the child that you will carry to term. He will surely do it, you will not see the wind nor the rain but surely you will carry to term my dear just as God has promised you; " you are a joyful mother of children.

Cushion of the Sea

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging." (Psalm 46:1-3)

Several years ago a submarine was being tested and had to remain submerged for many hours.  When it returned to the harbor, the captain was asked, "How did the terrible storm last night affect you?"  The officer looked at him in surprise and exclaimed, "Storm? We didn't even know there was one!"  The sub had been so far beneath the surface that it had reached the area known to sailors as "the cushion of the sea."  Although the ocean may be whipped into huge waves by high winds, the waters below are never stirred.

Being a Christian doesn't deliver us from the trials and troubles of life because we live in a broken world where it rains on the just as well as the unjust.  However, our faith in Christ gives us an anchor in the storm and a hiding place in the shadow of his wings.  As David the Psalmist prayed, "Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy! I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until this violent storm is past."  Psalm 57:1-2

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, in the words of the hymn writer, 'When the storms of life are raging, Stand by me; When the world is tossing me like a ship upon the sea.  Thou Who rulest wind and water, Stand by me.' And when the storms of life are raging, help me to put my trust in you so I will find a sense of calm and inner peace regardless of the circumstances that are threatening to drown me. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, Amen."
 


@all rest in God. Your miracle is here, God's word always comes to pass.

HealthRe: Trying To Conceive A Child? TTC by smiler(f): 5:20pm On Nov 12, 2013
@ Hawtmummie happy belated birthday, hope you had fun.

@ Yosi5 I understand where your husband is coming from, I read a book about a christian lady who was TTC. Her husband adamantly refused to do SA because it meant he had to m.a.s.t.u.b.a.t.e which is wrong. The lady was frustrated but the man stood his ground. Anyway she eventually found a fertility condom, and that was the only way they were able to collect his sample.

So take it easy with him, pray about it ask God for wisdom to handle it. While you praying about this, make some life style changes; your diet, supplements etc for you and your hubby.
Don't throw the test at him anymore, just take out time to ask for wisdom from God am sure He will direct you.

@ all our preggy mamas; God is with you all the way.

@all really take out time to meditate on this; "for with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment" Luke 1:37 (AMP) I particularly like the Igbo version of this verse:
"N'ihi na o digh okwu o bula si Chineke n'onu puta nke nagagh-adi ire!"

Think on this, ponder over it, mutter it and let it sink in until you begin to believe it and explodes on your inside at that point you will beging to assess every situation from God's point of view.

I was looking back at my life and counting just how often God had come through for me and really it had nothing to do with my "great faith" (for where) most times my testimony came through when the revelation of God's grace and the provision the finished work of the cross has provided for me hit me.

God is faithful, He does not play favourites with His children, It is His will for us to be fruitful, multiply and fill the earth, PERIOD! Who or what can stop the counsel of GOD ALMIGHTY?
HealthRe: Trying To Conceive A Child? TTC by smiler(f): 1:54pm On Nov 10, 2013
Amen @ Cjnone, the Lord will do it for you; He said "as you have said to my hearing so will I do"

@all he will bring His promises to pass in your life, "He is not a man that HE should lie" His gifts (promises) are without repentance. Has he said it and would He not bring it to pass?

Reflect on His past faithfulness in your life and be reassured that He is still faithful. He never sleeps, He never slumbers, He never tires of hearing your prayers.

I pray that the reassurance of God's faithfulnes, love, grace and kindness towards us will move us away from prayers that sound like "God if you don't do this for me I will throw away my bible" to prayers that sound like "father I trust you, you are a faithful God, you have being faithful in the past and I know you will still be faithful in this, I might not understand, but I am grateful that I have you, the all knowing God, I will not bother with the details, but Lord I thank you for I know that I am a joyful mother/father of children. Thank you faithful father.

Also remember that he never fails!

God is on our case! Have a blessed week y'all.

Gen Buhari, how is madam doing?

Ese144: Pls what does Tese mean
TESA: Testicular S.p.e.r.m extraction-this is a method of extracting testicular tissues, which are then washed to find s.p.e.r.m.s. These s.p.e.r.m.s will then be used for ICSI which is a form of IVF but in this instance the s.p.e.r.m is injected directly into the extracted eggs.

@Omedit sorry for the none response to your question, I guess none of us here knows any ART centre at Ilesha. I pray someone who knows will come along soon.

HealthRe: Trying To Conceive A Child? TTC by smiler(f):
Good morning all!

May the almighty God who alone knows how to give good gift to His children grant us the desires of our hearts in Jesus name, amen.

I pray that in this journey of TTC that we will receive the grace to take our eyes off everything negative and unproductive we see around us and focus it on GOD;
"We look [Faith looks] not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."
(2 Corinthians 4:18)

In the journey of life forgiveness and love is the key to breakthrough.

Even though I am not regurlar contributor here, I do appreciate everyone here. Thank you everyone. TTC is not easy, its not something you wish on an emeny. If you are not careful it could drive into depression. Hence the reason for most TTC forum and threads, people find succour and solace there. You can never understand the good this thread does in people's lives.

May our feet not slide as we rely on God's wisdom. I pray that God will continue to lead us in the best pathway of our life as we continue to focus on God's word.

May the peace of GOd that passes understanding fill our mind and soul and may it transcend through our body in Jesus name, amen.

*bear hugs* to y'all, love you all.
HealthRe: Trying To Conceive A Child? TTC by smiler(f): 5:25pm On Nov 01, 2013

We have thanked God for you and we will continue to thank Him who will perfect all that concerns you in Jesus name, amen.

@Silk, easy dear no need to get upset. I think we tend to leave out questions we don't have answers to.

For your answer please check out the IVF/IUI threads for fertility doctors.

I hope you find what you are looking for.

Personally, I have seen Dr. Emeka Ikenna, nice doctor call him on 08032011536.
