Umunne m na Umunna m oh! which means My Brothers & Sisters oh! Biko who has
done Chromoperturbation before? It's part of my Dr's protocols after an open
Myomectomy. He usually does it once the 3rd period arrives and packs up. My 3rd AF
post Op came yesterday, therefore yours truly will be going in soon for this procedure.
I've asked him plenty questions yesterday on the procedure and all he gave me is that
recovery time is 45mins and mild anaesthesia will be given. He has stylishly declined
answering further questions until I come for the procedure. He gets the vibes from my
questions that am scared and might actually change my mind and not come in for it.
Well he's somewhat right, so I don't blame him. I just want to learn what I can to
prepare my psyche before the D day. I've googled for information but not really getting
all the info I want. I do know that he'll as usual answer all my questions and clear my
fears before we go into the Theatre. As per cost, am only going to pay for the cost of
materials to be used and not for the procedure. TIA.

Hello People,

Hope you Mummies are all having a good day.

Just checking if anyone has ever used IVIG (Intravenous immunoglobulin - It is supposed to help fight anti-bodies or immune issues) as part of their IVF process? Can you please share your thoughts on the treatment if you got a BFP or/and if you had any side effects. Thank you.

Dear Sisters.
I'm sorry if my response to the congratulatory messages is coming this late; Background story is that a few days after i posted my testimony, i did a long write-up in which i was trying to encourage all us and also give some tips that i followed this time around. Unfortunately, my battery was almost all gone and the network was acting up. By the time my battery was up, the write-up had not been posted and fiam! I lost everything. i was so discourage i didnt even venture Nairaland again until I've really cooled down which is now. That coupled with d fact that my phonem which i was using became broken and sometimes to even type a sentence becomes frustration itself! So, please forgive me. It's not as if i plan to just run away with my experiences, just as i learnt from the likes of Faithful wife i also plan to let others learn from my IVF journey too. Also, I pray for every TTC mothers on this platform everyday. I know that God who looked down on me and had mercy after 7+ years of waiting will remember each and everyone here too. Just hold on to Him. Every morning I use Psalms 145:15-19 in prayers for all my TTC friends and I'm sure God will honor His word in our lives.
Like i learnt from faithful wife, let me also state the things i did differently this time ( Or may i even say the things i planned to do differently but couldn't , but God did show Himself faithful)
1. A lot of prayers went forth. Yes i did have some fasting periods but i couldnt do much of fasting because i was placed on some special diets which i had to adhere to eating at particular times. But i didnt relent on prayers. I very much believe in United Prayers, so i had a powerful Night vigil with my Mom n elder sis after which i was assured that all bounds were broken. I'm from a conservative Christian homes so we do not go to Prophets or Pastors, we just pray in the family. However, if there are Pastors U trust U could let them pray with U.
2.Hmmn, very funny! i was supposed to desist from stress, however, the week just before my FET was so stressful, my calendar was shifted a week before schedule and everything became almost a mess coupled with the fact that i had to do a 5-hour journey to Lagos 2 days before d procedure, was in a very foul mood and angry with my Drs. In any case, I couldnt shift further so i had to go in for d FET!
3. I learnt from Faithful wife that i should nt do away with d Pregnacare Conception Tabs, so this time, along with the 800Ug Folic acid i was given in d clinic, i used d Pregnacare Tabs, I used extra 400mg Vit C (+ d 90mg in d Pregnacare), i was on Prednisolone, 5mg and Baby Aspirin 75mg for 2 weeks before d FET and Progynova, 6mg as prescribed. Stopped the CoQ 10 few days to d FET as advised by my Doc n this time insisted on Progesterone injection rather than the Pessaries (I read that the injection are better because the get evenly distributed since they are Depot injection).
4. Well, this is almost against Doc's advise, I refused to get up from the recovery bed to go pee until about 15minutes after d transfer as against d less than 5 min they made me get up during my 1st fresh IVF cycle. then i went back n laid for another 45mins after which i went home, being careful of bumpy rides.
5. Well i didnt really get time to be lying around after d transfer, infact, d situation i found myself d day of d transfer warranted me cooking for myself in d evening and since then i just continued to move around as much as i needed to. i actually found out it was better to move around than to have a bed rest as moving around allows free blood flow to the Uterus which helps implantation.
6. About my diet, i removed everything wheat (White bread, Brown bread, Pasta, Cakes Noodles, Cemo), refined sugars, soft drinks, diary (especially milk, these included beverages such as Bournvita and Milo) from my meals. i was advised to do this when i went for detoxification prior to my first IVF and since then i kept on following d dietary advise. There was a test (Asyra Test) done on d computer which could tell what meals one needs to avoid.
I went for fresh vegetables and mostly steamed fruits. i was advised against eating fresh fruits as they said something about my inability to metabolize histamines.
I also needed to stay off Locus beans and smoked fish or meat. Something about d smoke
Anyways, My success story is nothing short of a miracle as like i wrote above a lot of things just didnt go well towards d tail end but Today, to Glory of God I'm 2 months on. It has only been God!
In fact, at the begining of the year, my whole situation was bleak, after d first failed attempt, The Prof who owns d Clinic (It's MART, Ikeja, Adjacent to d Ikeja Cantonment) recommended another round of 5-day Detoxification for me after going thru one of 3 days (It's no joke o, that was to cost me about another 700K) and also IVG Infusion or something like that, costing a whooping $1,500 USD!
I and DH just told ourselves that we were just at our wits' end and if God would not do d miracle we better go and rest ! Even if i had wanted to undergo d treatment, we didnt just have d money any more. As at d end of d first procedure, being d first with all d induction and all and d detox, we had put in 2.5M this was outside other expenses we incured. We were just out rightly broke.
But to God be the Glory, needed neither d Infusion nor d extra Detox, I m here today with child.
My Sisters, i hope my long epistle did not bore U. I like to b of help in any way, please feel free to let me know if there is anyway, i can help and for those of us who have been blessed on this platform, let us b our Sisters' keepers, let's once in a while put in words of encouragement and never forget to pray for one another.
God bless us all . Amen

Good evening everyone,

Has anyone with endometriosis gone for a successful IVF treatment? I really feel lonely in this, I will be encouraged by someone who has been thru this successfully.

Pls your contribution will be highly appreciated?

Joyfulmother just mention something like that ...........IVG Infusion .............. abi


Intravenous (IV) immunoglobulin (Ig) has been shown to increase pregnancy rates after previously failed in vitro fertilization (IVF) embryo (ET) attempts

I just began my research on this and it seems it helps increase success rates of ivf after repeated failures. I hope this helps

Wow @joyfulmum dats alot. Thnk God for success. Healthy bumping

wow Congrats sister,u shall carry to term in Jesus name, and dis pregnancy will be a blessing in ur family,replenish all u have lost. Amen

Congrats to @Joyfulmother and all BFP preggy mamas. You shall all carry to term IJN.

Congrats to all preggy mamas!

Please can someone recommend an IVF centre in the east? Specifically Owerri?

...

Amen I tap from ur testimony

Favouredmom:
The Lord that doeth what no man can do, how excellent is your name!

The Lord has done it for me o! After over two years of battling in this TTC journey, 1 suspended ICSI cycle, 1 failed FET cycle, days and nights spent weeping and crying my eyes out to God, the Lord has remembered me and blessed me with a very Big Fat Positive HPT today at 9dp5dt.

I give God all the praise. I haven't done my beta test yet, that'll be in two days but the two lines on my pregancy test stick are really dark. I've seen too many negative results in my life to recognise and differentiate a positive one even at first glance.

What I did differently this time:

1. I didn't neglect fasting and prayers, I went on some days fasting prior to my transfer and made sure to intensify my prayers and build my faith in God.
2. I stayed off google up until today, the many discouraging things we read there tend to shake out faith in God. I stopped googling signs and symptoms after transfer
3. I went against my doctors advice and took baby aspirin. I intend to tell him at my next appointment in two days time but I'm sure he wouldn't mind and will be happy it was positive anyway
4. I relaxed as much as I could as I'm a natural workaholic. Took time off work after the transfer and took it easy with chores although I got another job in the process which is a lot easier to handle for me
5. I kept using my folic acid, vit C & D, omega 3, progynova 6mg that was prescribed by my doctor and the crinone gel which finished before I could get another packet but God still proved himself faithful. I've now continued on the progesterone pessaries.
6. Ate my pineapple slices faithfully from day of transfer till 5dp5dt
Finally, God favoured me!

To all reading this and still in the waiting room, I declare that the waiting is OVER! The Good Lord that did mine like a dream will do yours in Jesus name

Hi my dear, I would highly recommend my IVF clinic. I have been blessed with the best. I have received emotional support during my fertility treatment, counselling is included in my journey and has been available the whole time throughout my treatment. The Bridge Clinic has been my saving grace. Stay blessed! *e-hugs*

Pls I n dh has been on antibiotics. No overt infection but pus cells stil present in the culture. Is der anytin we can do to improve on dat asides d drugs we r taking?

Good to hear that your levels are normal but just so you know doctor needs to check both the TSH and T4. I read somewhere that T3 needs to be checked also but my doctor said TSH and T4 are the most important ones.
I don't really know about infections. The only infection I've had was yeast infection and i remember I was given an antibiotics to be taken for 7 days and that was it.
