pslm23:
I know there is a TTC forum but I was just wondering if there are any ladies here that are going through or will soon go through IVF/IUI or any other assisted reproduction techniques other than clomid.

I am currently doing IVF and thought it would be nice to share with others on the same journey and compare notes on meds, stimms, retrievals, transfers etc.
I'm on day 4 of stimms using 1cc of Menopur 75IU and 375 IU of Gonal-F injections I have to take in my belly every night. These meds have the worst side effects, headaches, nausea and kick-a ss diarrhea (TMI sorry  )

If you have an IVF experience, please share.

Hello TTC,

I would like to seek your advice on the best and affordable clinic for IUI in Lagos,
I had been married with DW for close to 3 years and the issue is Male factor infertility.
Though I would have preferred IVF but we don't have enough yet and we are tired of waiting.

miracle1997:

With male factor infertility, forget IUI and save towards Ivf

Mamaejima4:



Though it depends on male issue, was low or nothing at all .
Iui with a doctor that knows what he or she is doing works like magic.

Remember you can also option for Donner sperms if you don't mind

Mamaejima4:
What do you mean by telling her to forget iui. What then is iui made for , if not for most male infertility when the female parameters are ok especially the tube. Dear try iui I will send you a clinic in lagos which one of the Mommy here use

miracle1997:

I would not advice anyone to try IUI if it's not UNEXPLAINED INFERTILITY, DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY, the odds is like less than 10%. For about 350k. IUI is similar to the normal timed/medicated sex , difference is, woman takes ovulation booster and is given HCG, the man's sperm is washed and then injected, . If there's low sperm count, forget IUI cus the odds even goes down much lower, if everything is normal then pregnancy is just not happening, good U can try that. For IUI to have a chance to be successful, tubes must be open, sperm count has to be normal atleast baseline normal 15m and above,. When sperm is washed, some will still die only a concentrated amount will remain. So madam, if your issue is unexplained (you and DH has done all tests and you both are normal) then you can try.
But if there's low sperm count, boost it before U try, if it's not boosting. I'll advice you to just save for IVF, your chance increases to about 50-60%. Except you just want to do iui and hope for God's face. Which isn't out of place too

shypo:


Thank you for the detailed explanation, wife is okay according to the test carried out last year.
We don't mind sperm donor if that will help to increase the chance...We can't just afford the cost of IVF for now.

Patience...save towards IVF...I don't know your age, but save towards it and don't be pushed.

Also, boost your sperm count with manix.

Hi mama, I had 2 failed ivf cycle because of this. fluid will need to be drained. Also you need to find out what is causing the excess fluid production and retention. In my case, I had issues caused by scar tissues from previous myomectomy and other procedures + I had polyps. I was also reacting to progynova (causing me to produce excess fluids) and the fluids weren't flowing out properly because of the scar tissues. I have 2 hysteroscopies ( to clear scar tissues and take out polyps) and a catheterization procedure before my last successful ivf.

shypo:


Thank you for this information.
Kindly help with the name of the clinic, even we don't mind sperm donor

Mamaejima4:


got tired of trying on my own and decided to go further. I decided to try fertility treatments. And opted for IUI -Intrauterine Insemination. I made my findings looking for a reputable hospital with a record for successful IUI not just IVF. Towerofgrace's testimony of using St. Ives, Ikoyi branch, Lagos and getting bfp gingered me. I found others who had successful IUI too with them. So I went to them- St.Ives Ikoyi branch.
Ikeja headquarters was nearer to me but I opted for the particular branch where I had heard real life IUI success experiences of mamas here.
