Quite emotional indeed. May God grant you good success. You shall testify soon.

Go to fertility hospitals if Abuja. If they don't do it there, ask the lab technician where it can be done. When I did mine, the fertility hospital collected my sample and cash and sent it to the hospital/lab where it was done. The fertility hospital also received the results and sent it to me.

I paid 20k early last year

@Madam Wonyi and @ Madam Emaaaaaaa.... Please where can this AMH test be done and how much?
Have gone to major labs in Abuja but they seem not to understand what I want to do. Is it a blood test or scan? Thank you.

Emaaaaaaa:
Congratulations!

Amen.

Fruitfulmom2240:

Baby Dust to all the fruitful mamas and I pray this month will be good to us. Amen

Hello everyone. I have 3 boxes of cyclogest 200mg pessary to give out. One box is open and I have used a few. It expires 2020 May. I would like to give, preferably, a trying to conceive mum. Please send a mail if interested.
I am a June 2019 silent mum. God blessed me with a baby boy after 5years. I never really had a problem getting pregnant, only problem was with staying pregnant. I had miscarriages, all at second trimester.
I can not begin to describe what I went through. But for God. This baby is an indication that God exist. God was with me before, during and after pregnancy. He is a faithful God.
I used cyclogest 200mg twice daily from week 15 to week 34. I had cervical cerclage done at 15weeks. By week 18, I was funnelling to the stich and placed on bedrest. I was itted at week 21 with the hope that I will get to week 24 because that was when babies have a chance of surviving.
Even going for a shower was war as I had cramps all the time. The only thing holding this baby in was the stitch. I had lots of emergencies while itted. Sometimes emergency was because baby's heartbeat stopped when the nurses were listening in (probably because he was very active invitro).
At 31 weeks, I had bad cramps. A test called fetal fibronectin was done. When fibronectin level is higher than 40, it means a preterm labour can happen anytime soon. My fibronectin level was at 250.
I was discharged at 34weeks and had my cervical stich removed at 36 weeks. I had my baby at 37+3 weeks against all odds. I had a labour of less than 4minutes which is what I have always prayed for. You should have seen me climbing stairs and walking around because baby refused to come out. I had the best medical team. Infact, some of the doctors in my team were crying when I gave birth. After my baby came, I can not count how many unbelievable testimonies we have had. He has been a bringer of blessings to us. God answered every prayer I asked for before I got him.
I am sharing this story, howbeit late, to encourage someone. God is never late. Trust in Him, He never fails.
Baby dust on us all. I pray God answers all our prayers and bless all mothers waiting for their own miracles.

I wasn't referring to Grabbo there. But Grabbo is very good.

Omojudy:

Not Grabbo?

Welcome back....

oxygyne:
Hello All,

I hope we are all doing great, @justwise @lexusgs430, etc. I was away for a bit for some me time, catching up on everything and I can see the good work hasn't stopped.

Good to read all the visa granted timelines and I'm back to lend my as well to continue to pay forward the good deeds of the crew on here.

Cheers!!

Am currently going through the same. My regular hospital did TVS and SonoHSG for me and found adhession/ ashermans syndrome. My IVF doctor asked if I don't menstrate monthly that I should forget the adhesion. Have read a lot about adhesion and it's not good for conception. Am so lost...I was suppose to start my cycle this month. Am now running from pillar to post...some gynae are suggesting Laparoscopy, some Hysteroscopy. Another one suggested adhesiolysis.. putting something in my womb for 2weeks... Am just tired of the whole situation

Don't be discouraged. God is never late. For adoption try FCT Social Welfare Board or Orphanage homes. For good hospitals depends on where you reside in Abuja.

mumdd:
Hello sisters, I'm new here and so glad to find a forum like this, I have been TTC for 8 years and still trusting God.
I have been very discouraged for the past two years and I did not try anything atall, was just living my life but I recently got the courage to try again and fight it till I have my testimony in my hand.
I'm so happy we have a forum like this where we can share and encourage each other.
please I will need recommendations on hospitals and good doctors in Abuja that one can use and also any vitamins and stuff I can be using for now
Also, I'm looking at adoption, if anyone knows the procedure of legal adoption should please let me know.
God bless you all and grant your desires soonest, love u all

Okay ma'am i will.

talltosyne:


Pls send me a WhatsApp msg. Check my signature

Thanks ma'am. I will request for my result henceforth.

shithapuns:


insist on collecting every result from your doc.
what i do to avoid long stories is to tell them beforehand. during discussions b4 i pay, that i want to collect copies of all my results, most of them dont have a problem with this approach, n you can also be inventive and use your phone to scan such docs, cos they may not have a photocopier to make copies for you

Very True. Am also planning to start one at a promo clinic. There is an issue my regular clinic observed. Its called adhesion/ashermans syndrome. But the promo IVF clinic said there is no problem. They didnt even show me the result of my hormone test. Am realky scared of going ahead with the promo clinic cos i dont want to throw my hard earned penny into the pit.

Omofranca:


If you do not have issues like fibroids or pcos, etc., I would say by all means go for promo but if you do have, it would be more cost effective in the long run to go to an IVF center where you will pay more but these issues will be addressed before any cycle is attempted. Believe me, there is nothing more painful than after enduring all those injections or having to borrow or even sell property to pay for an IVF cycle, even at promo price, only for it to fail because there were some issues the clinic did not bother to address beforehand.

Hello ma'am. Am interested and I stay in Abuja. Is it still available and where and when can we meet, pls?

MamaTuoyo:
Happy new year mamas.

I have a bottle of vitex to give out to any mama in Abuja.


It is for pick up, I am not too strong to move around.

Have a blessed day.

Thank you ma'am.

ebonynelly:


I had my myomectomy at FMC Jabi last year. When I was researching about clinics for IVF I came across one person that said she knows of two people that used there for ivf and were successful. That was all the review I came across. You know their ivf clinic is pretty new so it's understandable. Generally, they are okay in their service (I don't know about that of ivf clinic). I didn't use them cos of shortage of reviews and for the distance. They were my 3rd choice. I chose Grabbo cos of reviews and closeness.

Pls help to decide on FMC Jabi... am at a crossroad and I want to start this January. There's a doctor that left Garki hospital too... Dr Bende.He just started his IVF clinic or Grabbo. Pls I need to decide before I pay cos this money is not easy to come by

ebonynelly:


All the best dear.

Do you know about FMC Jabi? Any success rate from there? Am at a crossroad to either use a private hospital or FMC, Jabi IVF unit. Madam Eboney pls help too.[ quote author=Ebalu953 post=74437225]Why Birth Control Pills is Used in IVF

First, in a normal menstrual cycle multiple follicles (which contain the eggs) begin to grow, but then one follicle becomes dominant and grows faster than the rest and the remaining follicles stop progressing. In an IVF cycle though, we want as many follicles as possible to grow. By taking birth control pills before starting the oviarian stimulation medications, the follicles are more likely to grow at a similar rate. This leads to a greater number of follicles being mature at the same time, and therefore increases the number of eggs that are retrieved.

Using birth control pills also allows the fertility clinic to effectively schedule retrievals. This allows the correct number and type of staff to be available when needed. It also ensures that the embryology lab does not have too many retrievals in one day; the number of times incubator doors are opened in one day has to be controlled to maximize results in our embryology lab. This type of scheduling also gives us the ability to arrange your cycle so that it does not interfere with business trips or vacations.

Lastly, birth control pills can also decrease the chance of developing cysts prior to starting the stimulation medications. When cysts are present, sometimes we need to drain the fluid from them and that can cause a delay in your cycle.

PRAISEEEEEEEEE THE LORDDDDDDDDD!!!
OH! MY! GOD!

IT'S A POSITIVE!!!

I am overwhelmed by the good wishes from all of you. I am glad that this forum didn't vanish like it wanted to. The communication and encouragement from here go a long way.

I don't even know where to start. I am still in shock. Could this be me?

6 years and counting.
This is my first ever pregnancy and my first IVF cycle.

It could only be God. To Him be all the glory.

I pray that everyone still believing God for the same testimony will be visited as well. Trust God.

Of the 8 people that did test today, 6 of us had a positive result.

Praying for a safe, healthy and smooth pregnancy and a supernatural childbirth.

@madam hope 43 I was referring to this NGO hospital.

blekko101:
Good day mothers... There is this clinic in Abuja advertising 300k for ivf procedure. It claims its a counterpart funding with an NGO. Anybody ever heard of them? Are they reliable? Please any one know a trusted ivf clinic that offers counterpart funding in Abuja or anywhere else?

I was there to make enquiry and to know what makes it cheaper than the known centres, esp when i read that someone said she called the MD and he is madam grabbos husband but I was totally disappointed and will not subject my loved ones to gamble their money and life there.If you stay in Abuja you can find time to go there, maybe Its just my assumption.

hope43:
pls what is your experience with them

Hello mamas. Pls look before you leap into this hospital. I will not recommend it for anyone who can afford the known IVF clinics in Abuja. May God save women in our quest for conception. My one cent though.

hope43:
yea its true ineven called yhe md and we talk on tue phone is as if they were together with grabbo before if i wasnt mistaken he said the female dr in grabbo is his wife�

How much is it?
