GucciOluwa: I met the doc last year dec. How I wish he knows that starting with a non chalant attitude is not good for starters especially when ttc is a delicate issue that needs to be handled with care. Most doctors that Excel do little things to spice up situations like hospitality, doctor patient relationship n confidentiality, not hoarding information n carrying their patients along at every step. I wish someone can call his attention, it's something that can easily be corrected. Does it mean among 10 people that cycled,8 got BFP? It's well,may one not empty bank account for ttc. GOD PERFECT YOUR PROPHESY IN OUR lIVES |

wonyi: I don't know abt six but among three of us. Only one got a bfb but lost it at 14weeks. There was another lady who we had her contact, she too had a bfn. It's possible some might have had bfb's. I can't say for sure. (this is not meant to paint them black. Just shine your eyes. Make other inquiries.) One love! 1 Like |

henmaris: After transfer avoid sugary/acidic fruits like pawpaw,oranges, mangoes, grape,lemon etc avoid spicy n peppery food,hot bath, pushing while using convenience, avoid using the stairs. be positive, pray like the whole procedure depends on prayers,exercise faith through constant memorising the verses about fruitfulness in the bible,pray in the night,sing praises n watch comedy movies to ease anxiety. Take more water, cucumber, avocado, egg,beans,moi moi. Eat more protein. For the suppositories, use constantly. Injectible progesterone works better, ask if vasoprin is needed. Be friendly with staff,ask when not satisfied or in doubt. ABOVE ALL ,IT'S GOD After transfer, avoid staying in bed,walking increases blood flow 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Anyone Trying IVF/IUI/ICSI (Fertility Treatments)? by wonyi: 9:14am On Aug 05, 2016 |
Dadsonval: from my little knowledge, LH and FSH should be less than 5.when it's high ,the body might not be producing quality eggs for ovulation. Calm down, over the years rich meal and diet and exercise and loosing some flesh and good supplements have helped.other have gotten results and and proudly parents now. More people will throw more light. |

Amarapearl: Hello sisters, any news on this hospital?..did any1 register for the promo http://grabbofertilityclinic.com/mega-promo/ 500k for ivf+drugs, sounds super fantastic, am a bit skeptical though, would have been better if it was say 300k for ivf alone, patients pay for drugs themselves, cos they might economise on the drugs, |

I have a story. Please do not quote, it is too long. I don't know how to start. It's been a longgggg journey. I was initially diagnosed with PCOS. I started treatment 2011. As at the day of my wedding, I had not had a period in 2years. I started at LASUTH with met*formin and 8 cycles of Clo*mid. I didn't ovulate on any. Moved to Ancilla Catholic hospital where i did met*formin, bromo*criptine and Clo*mid again.....no ovulation. I returned to LASUTH. During one of their strikes, i noticed i was spotting. I went to a scan centre at Fagba (Useless place), did BPT which was negative but the scan man did a scan and said "Madam, you are pregnant oh". I told him of the negative BPT, he said it happens but from scan, he can see I am PREGNANT. I was asked to come back for a repeat scan in a week. I did and the report was incompete abortion. I was recommended for an evacuation. I went to a private hospital and a D&C was done. LASUTH called off there strike and I returned to tell them what happened. On further investigations it was discovered that I wasn't pregnant at all, I just had a blood clot which was as a result of irregular menstruation. The Dr. later tried other things but I didn't conceive, she then advised me to go for IVF. I wept like a baby. I got to the bridge clinic and when they told me the price, I wept more. I decided to try IUI first which was cheaper. I did the 1st one at Olive branch, it failed. 2nd one at Regenesis, it failed. I repeated HSG and that was when I got a heartbreaking diagnosis. 1. ASHERMAN 2. Blocked tubes 3. Adhesions everywhere. This was as a result of the D&C that was done. Let me break this down. Part 2 is next. |
Re: Anyone Trying IVF/IUI/ICSI (Fertility Treatments)? by Itissettled3: 4:15pm On Aug 08, 2016 |
Part 2. After the terrible HSG report, I cried to God. I prayed and asked him for a miracle. I rejected the hsg report but started taking serrapeptase, nattokinase and wobenzyme. I went back to the place for a new HSG. Result showed 1. PATENT tubes (GOD IS GREAT) 2. Partial Adhesions. At that point I changed hospitals to Good tidings hospital. The Dr. Is a great man. He examined me like no dr had done before.He said I need to do a adheloysis** to separate the uterus walls and charged 250k..I started pricing him. I told him 100k..Lol. he reduced it to 200k. I decided to seek a second opinion and the person advised I don't do it cos sometimes it causes more harm than good. I was tried and tired. I jumped over to IVF. Few days to my cycle start I decided to do a hormonal test at union diagnostics. My sisters be very careful of test results from there. The result came out with them diagnosing premature menopause, hypo prolactemia, thryiodism***. Ha, Mogbe. I fainted and woke up. I took the result to the IVF Dr. He said based on this result he would advise I use donor eggs but the earlier result on my AMH was high and so he would ignore the result and go ahead with the IVF. We started the IVF process. My lining refused to thin. I took several injections and several drugs to induce period. Lining no thin. Ha! The Dr then advised I go ahead with stimulation, retrieve and freeze the embryos. From someone who was diagnosed of premature menopause, 17 eggs were retrieved on short protocol (GOD is the GREATEST ). 10 fertilized, 8 made it to blastocyst (5 day transfer). I also had OHSS. I had my first cycle and it failed. I got ready for a second cycle. I decided to change things differently. 1. I started taking bromo*criptine, 1 a day. 2. I included 500*mg proges*terone injection weekly 3. I wore socks through my 2ww for warmt 4. I did 2 sessions of accupuncture. 1 before transfer and next after transfer. 5. Started taking Omega 3 6. Searched my bible for every scripture on fruitfulness. I will insert my name there. Verses which says, your vineyard will be fruitful I will change it to my uterus will be fruitful. 7. I walked, i didnt relax like previous cycle. I will walk round the house. 8. I took folic acid 2 times a day 9. I took drugs for immune issues just incase. 10. I prayed, sang songs and laughed a lot. God looked down on his mercies and decided to bless us. It's a BFP. I am PREGNANT. I have tested with more than 15 test strips. Yessss. The second line is there. Follow me thank this God who disgraced Asherman's, Menopause, PCOS, prolactin, witches and wizards and blessed me. I pray for everyone of us, God is not a partial one. He will answer you now. His mercies endures forever. 53 Likes 1 Share |

conyema12:no love making after transfer . they will advise you to stay off it for 8weeks. contractions are not good for the uterus after transfer o. so no love making or activity that can cause orgasm . |

Hello House, please you need your opinion in the below HSG result; 1.The cervical canal and uterine outline are normal 2.The Fallopian tubes are demonstrated with spills bilaterally 3. Perifimbrial contrast are noted IMPRESSION 1. Normal Uterus 2. Perifimbrial Adhesions Please i really don't know the decision to take now, whether to go for surgery, IVF or just be hopeful. Has anyone gone through this before? |
Re: Anyone Trying IVF/IUI/ICSI (Fertility Treatments)? by LadyGuinivere: 10:06am On Aug 09, 2016 |
Tatanda17:Have you spoken with your doctor? What did he say? You cannot base such a crucial desicion on what people tell you on NL cos 1. Nobody can have the same exact form of adhesions 2. It is only your doctor who has examined you that can give u expert opinion on options and you then prayerfully decide. |
Re: Anyone Trying IVF/IUI/ICSI (Fertility Treatments)? by wholesomegrace: 10:31am On Aug 09, 2016 |
conyema12: The basic thing is that you can go on with your normal activities, but avoid anything strenous at least for the first five days after transfer. You can climb your stairs slowly but don't go up and down. |
Re: Anyone Trying IVF/IUI/ICSI (Fertility Treatments)? by Tatanda17: 12:33pm On Aug 09, 2016 |
LadyGuinivere: Many thanks for the response, My doctor said he was going to refer me to a specialist for surgery and will be going for the appointment tomorrow. I just needed advise from someone who has gone through this before and done a successful surgery |
Re: Anyone Trying IVF/IUI/ICSI (Fertility Treatments)? by LadyGuinivere: 12:57pm On Aug 09, 2016 |
Tatanda17:I have. And all I have had is wahala. The adhesions come back again . Had a repeat adhesiolysis done last 2 weeks sef. The question you need to ask is, which part of the uterus is affected? Will it affect implantation? Your tubes are patent and your uterus is generally not bad. When your doctor has answered (you can get a 2nd opinion) then consider enzyme therapy ist (serrapeptase and nattokinase) for 2 months before getting a hysterescopy (my opinion) 2 Likes |
Re: Anyone Trying IVF/IUI/ICSI (Fertility Treatments)? by wonyi: 2:37pm On Aug 09, 2016 |
conyema12: NO NO NO U know ivf pregnancies are usually pampered. It's advise able to avoid intercourse for the first three months. No driving, no hard job,no love making. Any thing that will induce stress. Avoid stress related jobs. Some hospitals will tell u when to stop making love.maybe 5 days before egg collection. One major reason is to avoid infection. A situation where by the woman has a clean health with infection. |

[quote author=LadyGuinivere post=48244200]Good news! The theme for the september RCCG special Holy Ghost service has been unveiled ! 'No more unfruitful efforts'. This service is for those in God's waiting room. Lady G, I am here today to encourage you. I am a mum to a beautiful boy that will clock one year soon after 8 years of marriage and 7 IVFs. My IVF journey started at Nodical in 2011 and was a BFN. I moved to Olive Branch in 2012 where I had 5 successive IVFs and One FET. I got BFP twice and those where 5day ET. First one, I started spotting on the day I had my BFP and the second is now a beautiful baby boy. Why I stayed with Dr Emeka for that long and till I had success is story for another Day. Don't Give up. Hold on to God. Keep researching and believing. God is still in the business of doing Good. You will laugh Soon. I dont know you but I remember you always in prayers. You answered my questions on Giving birth thread without my asking by answering other people along with this invite to other waiting mothers prompt me to write you. Dont stop attending these programmes. Anywhere you know the name of God is being called go there. Dont be weary in doing good. If God can do it for Sarah, Hannah, me and some others on this thread, He will surely do for you and all others still waiting. May God bless your kind heart. 12 Likes |
