Anyway I know I may have spoken rubbish thinking its language but the fact is that

How on earth do u expect people to invite u to their houses from an online forum..

Instead of that, why dont u give ur own address for whoever wants to come?

@ Champs..please keep the faith. Dont be afraid...Your testimony will remain sure!

Please dont test again! Reject all the negative test results. God has been known to shame the devil and his antics shall not work with you IJN!!!

@nikkygal. Am with you on taking charge of ur fertility...that's why I refused to go for the lap scheduled by my company clinic...
I don't know where God's favour will meet me, but I just keep having the feeling that they are more interested in procedures that involve large sums of money.
I dunno if its because I have access to the internet, but I feel they do trial and error sumtyms with the intention that last last the person will come for ivf.
Its my company sponsored clinic(dunno if its the same as the one u left) and also free but I don't want anyone to mess up my system from carelessness.
The clinic once prescribed an injection for a friend of myn who had ovarian cysts. Meanwyl the leaflet warned against that! And when she went there to report pains the gynae dat saw her was 'surprised'she was given that drug?

Please which of clinics are u now with? Are they any good?

@aj and dreamsinbc...welcome on board!Its neva too late to diet and I can see that you're starting off on the ryt foot.
@dreams...Lmao at the way your name has been remixed..hebrewwoman also remixed mine, lol!
@Hebrewwoman.We have missed you so much, welcome back as you climb back on to the diet wagon..
@mrskem...sorry bout ur back, lwkmd at your solution
@udoka...do u know that dis morning I have daydreamt that I got a harmless food poisoning that made me drop to my desired weight overnyt...its dat bad! Cos I had a passport sized photo taken dis morning and my face wan fat full the picture!!Which kyn life! Upon all the dieting..as for my christian mother hand, forgerrit!

I refuse to give up sha..plus I like how I don't feel guilty after eating these days.
I know the lack of atleast 20mins of exercise is part of why am not feeling slim anymore...after AF, I'll resume.

The way the body works, we need to not only reduce the calories, but also burn off more than we intake...This is because the body metabolism adjusts.When we reduce our calorie intake, it reduces the calories it burns normally!That's why we need the cardio...

Am planning to do a one-week intensive 1 hour cardio + No Carbs + No late Meals program the last week of this month!

I'll let u know how it goes.

Breakfast-(group fast)

Lunch -Vegetable salad and beef stew

Dinner-Moi moi

@ nefer.. Congratsssss. That you first miracle. Thank God for weight loss. I know it helps with PCOS. It also means your body would soon be ovulating on its own. Please bring on that BFP.....

@ believer..welcome back.. you try well well o! Lemme not deceive myself, I cant diet on vacation. Unless am going to a boot camp. Congrats on your weight loss.. ROTFLMAO at DH having to force you to use the scales at the airport

@Udoka. Thanks a lot for that info. I have asked the poster a question. Cos I noticed that HSG is on Day 10 (saw this online too). If HSG has already been done, then I guess a lap to check the walls would be fine anytime. But the problem I have is that the clinic does not do HSG (they say its outdated ). Which means they will kill two birds with one stone (1.checking the walls of the uterus and 2.Running the solution thru the tubes to check for blockages)

Alexylas: Steps to Follow in Evaluating Failed Conception
Day 1- semen analysis and BBT
Day 10- HSG
Day 13-14- post coital tests
Day 21- Progest assay, laparosopy, endometrial biopsy

Thanks Alexylas. But is there a way of checking first to see if there is a beanie on its way down before an invasive surgery like laparoscopy? Cos I understand they sometimes use dye to pass through the tubes during the procedure.

If I have bd'd and am hopeful, I dont think i'd wanna risk anything. Except I didnt BD that cycle....

My clinic doesnt do HSG, they prefer the lap. So am sure they would run the dye thru the tubes to check for blockage.

What do you advise?

@Agiboma. You can get it at the Mall in Lekki. Try The Game shop cos they have almost everything.
My target is to be big and fat and swollen from pregnancy...this fat is just occupying space that is not its.

I may not be loosing weight cos I haven't been exercising! I am even scared to weigh in now. But exercise shld hold its side till after AF...lemme not jiggle anything

@ all.Make una no vex, had a busy weekend.I'll update everything now.

@hebrewwoman...thot of u dis morning...where are you? Please we need you here to help us when our faith fail! Will you still post the bible passages?

I wish God will pass over the TTC threads and bless all of us with a harvest of babies! It will be the miracle of the century!!

Isaiah 27:6
"Those who come He shall cause to take root in Jacob; Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit"

Dear Lord! As You have said that this is another era of the baby boom. Make me a worthy partaker of this season's baby boom. Let part of these children You have purposed to fill the earth with, come through my womb and that of other daughters of Abraham and Sarah in our TTC threads, who are looking to You for heirs from their own flesh in Jesus name.....AMEN!

Psalm 147:13
"For He has strengthened the bars of your gates: He has blessed your children within you"

Dear Lord!I thank You for this word and ask today, please strengthen the bars of my womb gates to conceive. Let the children You have blessed within spring forth in Jesus name...Amen!

Exodus 23:25-26
"So you shall serve the Lord your God and He shall bless your bread and water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfil the number of your days"

Father! In this pregnancy period, bless my bread and my water. Bless every of my intake not to affect conception nor to harm my baby in the womb. Give me the wisdom to eat and drink appropriate things and in the right proportion.
Lord! Please be my preventive measures; take away sicknesses and diseases from me that I may not suffer any chemical pregnancies, miscarriages nor cast out my young. Bless everything within me and let me not take any accursed thing that may cause me trouble in my flesh in this season in Jesus' name.

1Samuel 1:27
"For this child I prayed and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him"

Because You are the God of all flesh and NOTHING is too hard for you to do, even if my womb is shut or has passed the age of menopause, Father I thank You that all my petitions regarding conceiving a child(ren) are granted today regardless in Jesus Name. My womb is opened to receive new arrivals of my babies to earth. I shall conceive whether in my ovulation period or not in Jesus' precious name...

John 5:21
"For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will."

Lord, infuse my organs with Your life giving Spirit.
Fill my uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and all other organs responsible for conception, with Your divine fertilizing power and Your Spirit of conception in the name of Jesus Christ!

Good morning all,
While we fast, let's remember to keep praying..
I'll be posting some prayer points...feel free to post some too cos we need to strengthen our faith.

Isaiah 4:4
"When the Lord has washed away the filth if the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst...."

Lord! Please make my womb holy for conception!
Purge any bad blood within me, whether natural or unnatural from within me and put in order every organ necessary for my conception to take place today in Jesus Name!
Let there be a re-creation, re-organisation and re-arrangement of my reproductive organs by Your spirit of judgment and burning IJN....Amen!

Hello beautiful ladies...the weekend is here and while we're having our cheat days,let's remember that the cain mistress will soon come back!

@shiloh...Happy Birthday o!!!!!!((((HUGSSSSSSSSS)))) I Wish you the ultimate gift we would all love..A VERY BFP!!!

@Toronto and Champs...its already done for u IJN, we simply await the announcement.

@champs my poas partner, pls don't give in to the urge hon, what am I saying? I know that's an impossibility. Lol
But I don't think u should test too early if u can help it,incase the pregnancy hormones are still few...you know all these Pituitary glands and their 'oversyllabus', b4 it sends the wrong message to the bory.But I believe along with you that your bfp has come...if u can wait, do a blood test,if you can't, FX'ed for you dear and baby dust.

@genergo. A one on one wetin? Did u read thru all the posts to enable you understand our cases? A one on one consultation ba?So that what will happen? Are you by chance a doctor? The last tym sumone posted a phone number for a 'one on one' he took a lady into a hostel and injected her with all sorts! Please don't take advantage of our vulnerability, just say what u think we shld take or buy or use and leave us to make the decision! Just my two penny, no offence meant!

Although I noticed that the song that comes to me most often is....

"Even now",Declares the Lord,

"Return to Me with all your hearts.

With fasting, and weeping, and mourning.

Rend your hearts, and not your garments"
(Adapted from Joel 2:12-13)
