2nd hospital was Primecare Abuja... 2 cycles was #1.5m then ( I used sperm donor)

BS BS BS ( Part 3)

At Week 10, scan showed one of the twins has stopped growing at Week 7. Since then my heart always pound anytime I go for scan. As a result of this , I kept the pregnancy news to myself. None of my family members knew including my mum who stayed with me I only told them after I was admitted for 9 days to monitor my blood sugar so there was no way I couldn't tell them why I was in the hospital because they were scared . 10 days after I told my mum, she passed on.

The pregnancy was pretty easy, no nausea, no vomiting, no food nor smell adversion . The only thing was the bitter taste on my mouth .

From day 1, my consultant has stated I will deliver via CS due to age, so on Week 37 and 6 days I headed to the hospital but the teaching hospital was on strike so had to use a private hospital. The CS was pretty fast, within 5 mins I heard the cry of my baby , only the stitching took time .I was 45yrs, 3 month and 14 days old.

I was discharged 2 days later immediately it was certified my daughter didn't have jaundice.

Yesterday was her naming ceremony, indeed it was worth it and God is God .

BS BS BS ( Part 2)

I was placed on clomid and advised when to meet a man, I drove home like craze thinking who I can confide in for solution. I called my cousin in the USA who said I should go to club and look for a man , I screamed and laughed at the same time that I can't ,so I remembered a fellow course mate who have been asking me out. That night I chatted him up that I will be in his place in Delta state for some days ( I live in the south ) , I took some days off work and zoom to Delta. I did this for 3 cycles but only result was a chemical pregnancy and overbloated body , by this time I have resigned from my work because no employer will tolerate my frequent travelling ( thank God I have a side hustling and some investment)

On the 3rd occasion, my elder sister called and asked when will I get married and start bearing children, it was already past my 42nd birthday. I cried and called my cousin again who then suggested IVF. Hence the IVF journey began.

I did 2 cycles in a hospital in Lagos , there it was discovered I had blocked cervix . This was operated on before the transfer but both cycles failed . So I came to NL and discovered the IVF trend . Note that, the sperm of friend in Delta were not motile but he kept saying I took him to places where they lied to him so I decided to go for donor sperm .

Then I changed to another IVF clinic in Abuja, this I noticed were more patient and professional in their approach. They were not overwhelmed nor pricey like the one in Lagos . After the 3rd trial, I had twins gestation .I was elated .

BS BS BS (Part 1)

I didn't see my period in Nov 2018, it was 3 months to my 41st birthday. I knew I wasn't pregnant though I mated with my fiance then but foolishly used contraceptive. Fast forward to Feb 2019, he called off the relationship after I tested negative to pregnancy test but period refused to come . It was later I got to know another lady got pregnant around that period for him .

I started seeing a gynae who suggested I do nothing for 3-4 months to see if my cycle will reset itself . I did series of tests but nothing though the Dr suspected PCOS . I later changed clinic and the new Gynae placed me on 28- day contraceptive of which my period will come after then. It was like this for 10 months , by then it was already 2020.

The reality that I may not be able to conceive was wearing me down. I started performing poorly in the office. It got to an extent the GM who is an Engineer will see errors in the accounts I prepared as a Chartered Accountant. I was contemplating suicide but the thought that my mum ( who stayed with me will suffer) quickly snuffed out that thought .
In June 2020, as usual I went to see the Gynae but he was on sabbatical leave so I met one of the junior gynaes . He was full of concern immediately he reviewed my file and took me to meet the consultant. That's a day I will never forget .He took a look at my file and said;
" Madam, you cant conceive even through IVF"

I was devastated beyond words , taking a look at my face the junior gynae took me to his colleague who then said the best approach is to get pregnant and not searching for monthly period . I started crying , no husband no boyfriend how on earth will I achieve this ?

crownandhoney:
Hi mamas…
I have a question for the IVF babies mums, pls when did y’all stop taking your medications? And what gradual process did you take?
I have been on mine for 11 weeks now. Progynova, estrogen and duphaston.

I was on cyclogest insert till week 20 and baby aspirin till week 18 .

indian03:
My breast milk normally takes 3 days before coming well. Jusst keep putting baby to breast

Thanks

jjaney:
I experienced this too. You need to keep putting your baby to the breast continuously as you would if it was flowing well. Eat healthily even if you don't have much appetite, take lots of pap and pepper soup. The more your baby latches on, the more your body triggers milk production. In a short while, it will normalize.

Thanks

Mamas pls help , I have not been lactating since . What can I do pls ?

Godfavoritte:
Congratulations sis, Please did you use donor egg or yours, enlighten me because I’m on Ivf journey, I need your help

Both as the Dr could only harvest 1 egg

Praise the Lord as I welcome my baby girl at 7am this morning at the age of 45yrs, 3 months and 14 days via ELCS . She weighed 3.15kg

Thank you very much ma @Kunmisola You're rare! Thank you too Ma @MoyosBlog123. Y'all will never lack. And to everyone who has encouraged me one way or the other, May God richly bless you.

I would have had two today but I'm grateful for Ivan.

Wash and disinfectant all his clothes, always bathe him with dettol and rub moko cream for scabies afterwards.
Disinfectant his room and sundry his bed thoroughly.
