Please I need help from anyone that had to apply for Visa for their mom for childbirth (help) purpose.
Did you state in the application that the purpose of the trip is for help with childbirth?
Did you have to contact the hospital prior to filling the DS160 application form? As part of burden of proof.
Im yet to send my change of intent letter, would that be a problem? Even though I got the visa for vacation last year and I have used it for the purpose.

Pls mamas hlp me respond to my question. In addition to d last question can I start taking pregnacare eventhough gestational sac is d only tin seen at 6wks. Hav been taking only folic acid and progestrone pill. If am to take pregnacare which of dem shld I take and how much is it sold.
Cc: mumypurity, sugah other mamas dat have experience on dis

I think you should check with your doctor on when to start pregnacare. I started taking mine at about 6weeks but iv read on this thread that you are to wait till 12 weeks before starting.
Pregnacare Max is the newest in the prganacare series and contains calcium amongst other supplements.
My pharmacy sells for 5,600 and its a 28days supply.

Like everyone else said, progesterone pessaries are best when used rectally and store in a fridge.

delor:
Naija don advance ooo. Scan don dey see 2weeks pregnancy. Abeg my sister me sef wan do d scan oooo.

Do you know some people think the age of pregnancy is from ovulation? That's why you would hear some people say they are 2weeks pregnant.

Meanwhile, congrats icesnow on your pregnancy. Happy bumping.

Please does anyone know where in lagos I can buy bump bands?

I haven't gotten maternity clothes yet and this morning I had to pull my skirt up to under my boobs to button it thereby forming an almost micro-mini skirt.

Congrats again kwentjules. Hope you are now looking left right and left before crossing the road?

Twogreatnations congrats and happy bumping.

Godmerciesss:
Oh God...hope ur OK now...pls be v careful o.

Thanks im fine.

Not to be a voltron, but coincidentally I met fvine in person sometime last year...after her consultation with the said doctor and I heard this same thing from her.
HD16 I hope you know there are different types of fibroids based on their location? Im sure you know that.
The doctor may not have meant any harm or was just concerned about carrying out the IVF procedure without really caring about the consequences of the fibroid. I went to see my doc tday and complained my bump was too big and after a physical exam he says my bump is ok for about 16weeks....and I remembered how I was told on that same bed 3years ago that the fibroids I had measured about 16weeks. Mostly submucosal, so much so that they completely blocked both of my fallopian tubes as revealed by a pre-surgery HSG.
That doesn't mean that I haven't heard about women who are pregnant and have fibroids.

You should all remember that this is someone's personal experience and the fact that you had a different experience doesn't mean she's lying or just trying to pull him down.

haddyza:
Thank you HD16,Me I dont believe at all that the Dr Emeka we met would ever allow his judgement be clouded because of money o, especially over his patients treatment,I sincerely doubt. It just sounds so out of character(in fact unbelievable)..

Hopefully I won't get attacked on my review of regenesis.

Unfortunately our fertility clinics in Nigeria are not interested in helping couples try naturally for pregnancy. The clinic I was working with and was planning to use for IVF this April tells you they are more interested in making you pregnant naturally and without consultation fees, you get email correspondence with them and they explore all options before going IVF route. I thank God I got in touch with them and after a simple infection test and antibiotics treatment, I did achieve a natural pregnancy.

ebony13:
Shuo!!!

congrats o, God has really compensated you

Thanks dear. God is indeed faithful.

sugah:
Peterian dark dot on the areola + abdominal pains.... Iv got my fingers crossed for you. Wait a few days then do a PT (pregnancy test).

sugah:
Peterian, sore boobs=progesterone surge. Its either PMS(signalling start of another cycle) or early preggy symptoms. Fingers crossed for you.

peterian:
u keep crossing ur fingers for me

I need to uncross my fingers, its beginning to pain me
You are definitely preggers.
I had all that you have described so far.

peterian:
Thank you mums..I was supposed to my period on Feb 22 or 23 but it didn't show up, on 1st of march I spotted lightly and since then nothing,me I scared if doing PT o

You've missed your period since and you are still fearing to go get confirmation? Na wa for you o.
Anyways, its safe to say congratulations on your pregnancy. Ensure you are taking your folic acid.

My 'almost' experience with The Bridge.

Sent an email to enquires @bridge to ask for the price of their IUI in December 2015. I got a reply saying IVF would be best for me . I tried explaining to them that I hadn't gotten to the stage of IVF as all my tests came back fine but for anovulatory cycles. And reiterated that I only needed to know the cost of the procedure as I was planning to use them in January and I was out of state so cannot come to the office. Guess what? I got same IVF bladderash.
Less than a week later I found out I was pregnant!

Thanks DonaTee, God has already compensated me.

Orente21:
Gud day evri1, may God bless us all wit bfp soonest. Pls can any1 interpte dis serial follicular monitoring scan result. It was done ön cd 13, right ovarian follicle 50mm,left ovarian follicle 1,7,endometrium 000,uterus is 34mm AP,37mmTS,83mm LS. Endometrium is ovaries L 23*23*41mm. Tnx so much

Your result isnt quite clear.
Right follicle is 50mm (mature follicle size from 18-30mm). Its outgrown its maturity and would be referred to a cyst.
Left follicle not sure what you wrote. If its 17mm, then there's a chance of ovulation occurring soon.

Peterian, sore boobs=progesterone surge. Its either PMS(signalling start of another cycle) or early preggy symptoms. Fingers crossed for you.

I believe this thread was created for people to share personal experience, help intending mothers going for different procedures prepare and make informed decisions.

Personal experience, when looking for a place to do an IUI, regenesis got the most success review and I went with them. Nobody mentioned how grossly unprofessional they were. Although id admit God is the giver of children and it doesn't matter how unprofessional or professional the doctors are.....but at a point I had to remind the doctor what I was there for cos he forgot I was doing an IUI not IVF. Maybe if I had achieved pregnancy I would have overlooked how loud and uncout his 2 ground staff were... Always talking loudly on the phone in igbo on calls, or how they never had a hand wash soap in their restroom (had to tell them several times but nothing was done). Maybe If he did not tell me I had miscarried when I called to complain of thick blood clots following the failed cycle, I would have overlooked his incompetence...it was mamas here that explained the clot was as a result of the injectables I had taken
Only for me to come here some days later to read the guy was even banned from practicing in canada . May God help us.

^^^^ LOL

Congrats maureenslyvia and ramcie. May God bless and protect your LOs.

BritneyStacy:
First scan is accurate when done between 11weeks-13weeks....Why you come the drag am sef ? N.a. you join the confuse am that time abi You sure say you be team September sef ?

If bolded is the case, then im definitely team September. I don't know my LMP and my first scan was around 6/7 weeks and that put me in August. I haven't done another scan since then but id see if my EDD moves back to September.

August mamas don too much already na, leave my members for me

PresVA:
Which is even more accurate? LMP or first scan? Because my first scan shifted my edd further by 6days against LMP..

LMP is more accurate (I think) if you know your LMP.But if you don't know your LMP, your first scan is more accurate than the subsequent scans.

Really bad design. Dining room in-between two toilets. And 2 toilets opening into the sitting room.

You need to change your design first before worrying about the quotation.

limsycutey:
Lol, no mind me. Na my first scan confuse me. But I full ground now.
#teamaugustforsupernaturaldeliveries.

I thought they say first scan is the most accurate? You cannot just exit our team like that. You have to wet the ground first mbok.

Pweetiebabe:


Prolactin 26.0 (3.8--25ng/ml)

The test was done on cd3

Just slightly high prolactin. You can use parlodel or dostinex or go natural with cabbage or ewedu with vit b6.

Ensure you do the day 21 test as well to check if the cycle was ovulatory.

Vanny2:
@ Sugah, i appreciate you. Thanks
May God bless us all and grant all our heart desires

Amen. I wish you same

Mowojuoluwa:
I hail my teamies o. Ms don dy pack gradually although I still vomit everyday! As for ANC I never start o altho am seeing a gyn and he said I will be avin a cerclage which hubby is not in support with because the doc didn't test to confirm if I really need it but I guess becos of the previous MC which I lost at 18weeks, and 8weeks. Although d one at 18weeks I didn't knw I wasn't supose to take pineapple whicch I did d week my water broke and d baby had to be evacuated, so am only looking up to God to grant me an hitch free pregnancy and be able to carry to term, as for the drugs abeg which should I go for pregnacare plus or Max? If plus what brand of calcium pls help o

If your dh isnt in support of doing a cerclage maybe you both need to seek second opinion. But im quite certain the other doctor would recommend same..and maybe that would help convince your dh.
Pregnacare max supercedes the plus range as it contains calcium and omega 3. I take pregnacare max at the moment even though im planning to change to the regular folic acid, b complex, iron calcium and omega 3 tablets. (Just because of the size of the pregnacare tablets and maybe the cost).

Vanny2:
Yes Sugah, i'm using both.So what do i do? A Pharmacist recommended both.after my hormanal assay, these hormones Lh,FSH needed to ovulate and conceive were too too low.

Fvine pls help with this. Unfortunately I do not know how to give detailed response like you do.

Vanny2 we might need to know the LH and FSH values. Were they too high or too low? Did you do the test on a stimulated cycle? (Did you take clomid the cycle you tested?)

MamaOO:
Add me oo. I go even pay extra dues join.

Done. Abeg send the dues to me o. But I only accept pan sterling

Fvine:
But am wondering how you concluded that you're not ovulating. Did your Dr say so? I know you did a scan on CD 12, but what if you ovulated earlier? How long is your cycle and is it regular? Can you maybe try other ways like temping to check if you're ovulating?

Cc favouredestiny.

God bless you fvine. I was going to say same thing. Did you do any scans prior to cd12? If no, then you don't have sufficient proof to rule the cycle anovulatory. You might have already released the eggs prior to your scan.
Next cycle you have to start your scan earlier say cd6,then from there the sonographer would tell you when to come for the next one depending on the size of follicles seen on that day.

Vanny2:
Good evening Sisters.Hope you all had a great day. Pls anyone using M2Tone and Fertilaid? Kindly share experiences.i started mine 16 days ago, my cycle has delayed for 2 days,it hasnt been regular anyways, but want to know, how long will i take it before seeing results?

Are you using both drugs together? I believe they have similar uses (balancing hormones).

Chili89:
yes I'm a FTM and No,no particulAr reason my Sis, havE u started?DH told me I must start on mondAy nXt week. I jst dn't like hospital dat's why.

My dear, if not that my HMO insisted on 13weeks for ANC I would have registered at 8weeks. My gynae said ANC registration should be from 8weeks.

Blessedmum:
My dear Class rep, MS never disappear o infact vomiting and low appetite is d order of d day. Am yet to register for antenatal ll do so next week . In other words I av two weeks left for d end of first trimester (so happy).
@ Cheerychy, u're on my mind Darling can't wait for ur transfer letter.

Pele dear, two weeks would soon pass and you would be back to your normal self.
Hope your doctor is still monitoring you though, even if you have not registered for ANC.

AdaEkube:
Even after adding my name to d list,captain u still omit my name ,is not good ooo.I hv been here shouting teamseptember since ooo,maybe I shld port to October.

Chimoo! Ndo oo. I saw your name when you commented and assumed it was already there.
Updating list sharperly

Chili89:
yes oo morning sickness iS gone now. But I'm yet to start ANC since I'm just 13weeks. WaitinG to be 16 befr I can start.

Aren't you a ftm? Any particular reason why you are waiting for 16weeks?

Teal:

No ms here but not really enjoying it too o, maybe cos of the heat sha. Have registered antenatal and most def not joking with my meds.
Congrats to all the mamas that recently gave birth. God bless your LOs and renew your strength.
