Mine is not exactly a TTC story but I will share it cos it may encourage someone.
Got married 14 years ago, had 4 pregnancies and 3 surviving children between 2007 to 2012

However, from 2012 till Feb 2020, I never missed my period for one day without being on any form of contraceptive.

However, just this month I tested positive to pregnancy after 7 years and few months without having to do nothing extra except have sex of course😜

My point is, to you TTC, relax, eat well, exercise, live healthy.
If there are underlying heath issues that can be fixed, work towards fixing them and trust God for your own!
Your baby will come at the set time.

Hmmm... This is hard. But I'll say it all so that those who have lost faith in God can renew their faith. The Bible says "faith cometh by hearing..."

Before I got married, I used to hear prophesies about infertility, at least like twice or thrice. That I would really have to try to get pregnant. Well, I allowed it get to me, coz I started trying to get pregnant immediately. Maybe it got to my brain, and pregnancy refused to happen. Like a lot of TTC women, I was afraid and ashamed.I was afraid hubby will get someone pregnant. He is the best man, but I kept having negative thoughts even when he kept assuring me. Mind you, marriage was not up to a year yet. I went to the hospital, doctor said he can't rule infertility till I must have tried for a year. I went spiritual. Paid alfa, paid pastor, still nothing.
I would cry whenever I saw my period. And every woman I saw appeared to be pregnant.
One day, there was a fight, and in anger hubby asked me to go to my father to consult my root. Mind you, before then I wasn't in good terms with my dad coz he was deadbeat. I cried that day and called my dad at night. Went to see him next day and unbottled all my challenges and emotions.
He was devastated. Mind you, I was still praying.

I got in touch with an old colleague who did even an abortion of almost 6 months then in school, and got to know she is pregnant.

I became emotional. I challenged God that day coz even before marriage, I never got pregnant nor did an abortion. Yet, here I was without a child, and someone/people who had serious past were getting pregnant easily.

I didn't judge them. No. Rather, it was a moment of total emotions and everything was about me at that moment. I called my dad and lambasted him, coz my mom died few years before then.

He called me back next day and asked to see me. So we went somewhere. I am a Christian, but a moment of despair made me go the other way. I followed him to an herbalist.
The baba insisted on seeing my hubby. 3 days later, we went back, this time with my hubby. Solution was proffered, and Baba said except I did that, I was never gonna be pregnant.

We got back home promising to return to do the ritual.

On our way home, hubby disagreed. He said he wasn't going to do anything. That I should pray and wait on God.

We fought.

He held me, and cupped me into him, and listened as I cried and talked.Amidst tears
Me: All I want is my child
Him: From your mouth to God's ears.
Me: I want my child. I want to become a mother.
Him: This instance, God has heard your pleas. We are not going back, we're not doing any ritual. We will call on God, and He will answer us.

I didn't believe him, but I could not convince him to do otherwise,and I couldn't go against him.

A week later, period did not come. I waited again, no period. I have never missed my period. Moreso, I didn't know how I was supposed to feel while pregnant, but I felt very fine.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's been two months now. And each day feels like a lie.

Please never let go of God no matter what. He is always there. Imagine if I had gone to do the ritual. The bab would have taken the glory of what God did. That would have put me in trouble with God.

Never stop trusting.

I "TTCed" for 7 months after having a miscarriage. The experience was dishearting, the expectation,anxiety and finally d cry/sadness wen d menses comes. It was a crazy 7 months, I was losing my mind. I n hubby tried many sex positions, I prayed,did scan n everything was fine. Then someone added me to a group on facebook and I saw a post on how to conceive using "Banana recipe"(d combo boosts ones ovulation) I read d comments n saw dat many hv actually conceived by using it, I tried it d first tym n it didnt work for me.
Then my mum advised I n hubby to
-eat more of veggies
-take enuf banana everyday
-avoid taking alcohol
And not to hv sex till my ovulation day.
All these we did n I also tried d banana recipe d second time and BOOM I tested positive.
I hv a son now and I am almost due for my second pregnancy.
May God visit d homes of ones dat need children Amen.

It's overwhelming but me I'm not giving up till I reach my goal. I'm going to share my story on this platform.

To every TTC couple, don't give up. I know it can be tiring but we all have a goal so let's focus on that goal.

I've started thanking God. I don't ask anymore.

Husband's, support your wife. Follow her for all the necessary test and also do yours. The whole burden mostly is on her so she needs all the support.

God will crown all our efforts with success in Jesus name Amen.

I was well over 30 when I got married, after a year of ttc, I went to the hospital to have me checked. My blood tests was fine, scan revealed multiple fibroids.

My consultant said not to worry, I should continue trying. I tried for almost 2 years, nothing. I went back then she said she was going to place me on a certain medication that shrinks fibroid for 3 months. I just started crying.

Why did you tell me to go and try for this long when you could have prescribed this so called medicine to me??

She wrote the prescription but I didn't go to the pharmacy to pick it up. I went home, cried and cried. I googled the side effects of this medication and I just didn't want to use it.

Then I googled doctors that specialised in fibroids, I needed a second opinion even If it was going to cost me. I was happy with the profile of this particular Ethiopian consultant. I sent a mail to his secretary and I was booked in for an appointment.

This consultant scanned me and told me in clear terms that I had to take out the fibroids considering the position and my age.

I told him that my consultant placed me on a certain medication and he warned me not to use it.

I discussed my findings with my GP, gave her the consultant's recommendation and was booked in for surgery. 3 months after surgery I fell pregnant. I was closely monitored and had a healthy baby via csection. She is almost 3.

I am currently pregnant, after this journey, that is it. I pray God sees me through and thank God for blessing me with the fruit of the womb yet again.

To all ttc moms, pray but have yourself checked, have your husband checked and weigh your options. Eat healthy, take your vitamins and exercise, be active. The lord will cause you to testify, amen. I forgot to add that my husband was also checked while we were on this journey.

May God hear the prayers of all Gtc (going to conceive) in Jesus name Amen

My elder sister, went through it, I must say it wasn't easy.
She had fibroid and cyst operation about a year before her wedding, first year, no pregnancy, second year same thing, we prayed, we fasted, we sowed seeds. On the third year God through someone directed her to a gynaecologist, who asked her to go for hsg or so, that her tubes were blocked, she went ahead, after the first round, she refused to go again, according to her she said it was too painful. We kept encouraging her to go back for the second round because the doctor said she has to do it twice.
After some months she summoned up courage and went again, then her doctor told her to keep making love with her husband and she did, a month later, she became pregnant and was delivered of a bouncing baby boy on her fourth year in marriage, 4months later, she became pregnant again, now she has 2kids to the glory of God.

During those times of gtc, we her family members were there for her and she never hesitated to tell us all that she is up to in her quest to get pregnant, her husband too was very supportive. She also went back to school to keep her herself busy. I really thank God for her.

After our wedding, we were both focused on adding to our family. Days turned into months and nothing happened, my wife was so worried. Our family Dr told us to wait till after one year. 8 months into the marriage, we both went to see a gynaecologist, after all the tests, it was discovered I had Low sperm count. And that was where the journey started. I was given Enhanz to take for three months, I did the test again and to my amazement, the count even dropped further. I took fertile aid for men, proviron and other sperm boosters but the count never exceeded 10million. I even went to one Ijaw woman who came highly recommended. After months of guzzling her expensive mixtures, and no improvement, I stopped. I was doing my own online research on the best drugs and supplements to take. I couldn't stand seeing my wife in tears whenever her period comes, knowing I was at fault. My research led me to a drug known as Fertilsan M. It was not available in Nigeria as at then, some guy had it in Lagos then but I wasn't convinced to send the money. Because it costs a 100k for 3 months supply.
My Sis residing in Ontario eventually ordered it and brought it during her holiday to Nigeria. I took it for three months and didn't bother to test. We took our mind off TTC wahala and concentrated on having fun and also focusing on God. I lazily did the test after about 5months and the count was 60 freaking million. Two months later, my wife conceived and we have a beautiful Angel who lights up our world. God made it happen at his own time. Sorry for the long read guys.

Stella, thank u for this wonderful post, u won't know how much it would mean for those of us TTC
My first pregnancy I had was after I took clomid and did HSG, tho I was told my tube was open but I lost it, cos it stopped growing after the 3rd month. 2nd one turned out to be ectopic where I lost a tube, 3 one didn't grow,I even almost lost my life with that pregnancy but God came thru, I still don't know why that keeps happening but I believe it would be the last time.
I have physically , and financially tried everything in my power to get pregnant to no avail as I was recently diagnosed with a blocked tube, before this diagnosis I was told to with adhesion inside my womb, which I had to do a procedure to correct it, thank God it was successful.
Before this lockdown was already saving for IVF but now its on hold, man must live, as we ve started spending from there, who know I might just conceive naturally and chop my money.
I and some group of friends TTC formed a group, we were supposed to go solicit for funds from well to do Nigerians in our state, guess that would start after this terrible lockdown.
Trying to naturally unblock my remaining tube naturally, the plan is to go for a 4th HSG/flushing but the pain is making me delay it for a while, the funds one invest while TTC cannot be over emphasized but we just can't give up.

I have given up on trying naturally because it's like it will never come through that way so, I'm opting for ivf. Diagnosis: husband's eggs are too too small and I now have this one huuuuge fibroid that was never there but because of no conception for over 8 years the fibroid decided to make my tummy its warehouse.
But I know one day I shall definitely overcome all these in the name of Jesus.

I got married nine years ago.
Got married to an only son. We met in oko polytechnic.i was twenty years while he was twenty two years old. We where somuch in love(till now). I took in immediately we got married but lost it one month later.

In fact, in a year I will have like five miscarriages. We went for tests nothing serious was fund.but the kind dreams I do have are so scary. I for got to add that,befor my marriage my husband had a serious fight with his uncle's fiance . everything was settled so my husband thought.we kep praying, spend money on medications.in fact we spent somuch.

Then one day I change my prayer point to singing praises to God.before u know it,my dreams changed.
On that very faithful day, middle of 2018,
One of husband's uncle called him very early in d morning that our attention is needed
My husband ask him to tell him what it's on phone cos he's busy.his uncle told him that chiyere said we should forgive her in fact that chiyere is very sick and she said she was the course of our childlessness that we should come. Well chiyere died two months later.
Then a friend took me to ibuzor last year and ordinary 12k put a smile on my face .after huge money has been spent.
I can't thank God enough.

This month is my 5th year anniversary but it feels a lot longer. It is draining, tiring, frustrating, depressing and freaking expensive venture.
Before I got married I ve always loved kids, dreamt of being a mum but life happened. Am greatful for having a understanding hubby, I can't imagine going thru this with a spouse who isn't supportive, that would be hell
Started TTC immediately after my wedding, was just eager to have my own kids right away, but after a year of it not happening, couple with the fact that my hubby works schedule takes him out of time sometimes. We summoned courage and went on to see a gynaecologist who asked us to run some test including HSG.
I finally summons courage to do HSG, I swear it was painful as hell, I actually stopped halfway in the process, I cannot comma die of pain. At least it was wort it as I got pregnant, but sadly on the 3rd month it was confirmed that it stopped growing, I was beyond shattered. My sis advice against evacuation, so I was given an injection to evacuate it naturally, that one was another level of pain. When it eventually came out, I say the foetus, I cried so much. Worse part was after that stuff I was still feelingvpains for days.

My 2nd pregnancy when I was so happy, started feeling pains, turned out it was ectopic,lost a tube, I was devastated to say the least. The thing about this whole TTC ish, u can help bring urself out of depression. While I was crying on bed, the lady next to me in d same hospital room was just smiling. When she told me how she had lost 8 pregnancies all above 7 months and I that died while she was in the incubator because the nurse mistakenly overfed the baby, and the only doc was not on ground. I stopped crying for myself and started praying for her. Thank God she was presently pregnant with twins, story for another day.

The 3rd time I was preg was even worse off, baby stopped growing yet again after 10weeks. I almost went mad, as I wasn't given any tangible reason why that happened. Am under 35 so am not that old, the fact that I was about loosing the pregnancy was not enough but it led to another major issue that I almost died of. In fact God showed up right inside the theatre. I had prayed, cried and stopped crying and accepted that it was Gods will, but he showed up. Operation that could ve cost me 1million naira ended just like that. Then I realized life could be worse off that TTC.
5th year still TTC, first HSG said open tube but adhesion, after a minor procedure to clear adhesion another HSG says blocked tube. Well that's not my report but as its not happening my faith is dwindling, was asked to go for another HSG/flushing but be not summoned the courage to do that.

In all I ve come to understand its God that truly gives children, science helps with God intervention but its all God. If u sleep with ur hubby and get pregnant, just that ur starts, don't think u are the most fertile, its just God's grace.
I won't ever give up, its my right to be a mom and nothing will take that away for me by Gods grace. While I and hubby are seriously fcking under this lockdown, we are still trying to save for IVF. When I had hopes and plans all set to raise money, then Corrina came in. We shall continue after the lockdown.
Thank u Stella

So we got married in 2018, and decided to settle down for few months before trying for a baby. After a month in marriage people started calling that how far, has it enter, re u spitting and so on, but we still keyed to our plan. After 8 months in marriage we started trying hoping to get pregnant immediately but hmmm1,2,34, month was going nothing was happening. We became worried, peoples pressure started getting to me/us. I read online to start using folic acid I started, I saw baking soda recipe here on the blog I did it but nothing was happening. I was using flo app to track my ovulation, my husband asked me to delete it bcos it was putting pressure on our sex life, we no longer have sex for the fun of it we now do it because of pregnancy. My husband work shift so sometimes when I’m ovulating the bobo is on night duty. So come 2020 we decided to just make love like we use to do when we just got married, no tracking of ovulation we should just flow with our selves normal, but we still planned on seeing a gynecologist. I also met a doctor in February that told me we should have sex every other day that maybe we are not having enough sex. I told my husband and we planned to follow what the doctor said starting from March. We did what we could do before my husband’s night duty which I thought was during my fertile window but I didn’t worry because I had put everything into Gods hands. So my period was suppose to come on a Wednesday I was cramping at night so I used pad hoping to see miss red the next morning but it didn’t come, Thursday came I didn’t see my period. I summoned courage to get a test strip on Friday evening. I peed on it and saw two line. I’m pregnant,God I was shaking and sweating 😭😭😭😭😭.
TTC is hard, it is draining.
May God bless the womb of every woman who desires children. Amen

He even got his mistress pregnant in the third year of our marriage and my mum in law was fighting for her to come in and I leave. Only God has been helping me in this marriage cos I don't even have a mum to protect and fight for me. Turns out the child was for her boyfriend. That was how his ego came down. Everyday, I pray to God for it to be a story one day. I know how much I've spent. Hospitals I've gone to and herbal medicines I've taken. It's not a nice feeling. May God see us through, amen.

If you have been trying to conceive for a year or more and the doctors have certified you and your husband to be medically fit with no underlying health issues, please read this comment carefully, you might find what you have been doing wrong. Having sex every day during your fertility window(2 days before ovulation day, ovulation day and 2 days after ovulation day) could be the reason why you are not getting pregnant even though its always doctors advise not to miss out on any of this days but personal experience has proven otherwise. Depending on the length of your cycle, varying from 28days to 30days or more, ovulation day could vary from 12th to 16th day of your monthly cycle, if on the day you perceive to be your ovulation day, you notice a discharge that looks like boiled egg white in tiny fragments during or after sex, that discharge is an indication that your ovulation has ended, on your ovulation day, what you notice is a clear slimy discharge that enables the sperm to swim very fast to meet the egg. Now to the solution, I will advise you buy an ovulation kit, I don't know how other ovulation kits work but for clear blue ovulation kit, it will pinpoint your two most fertile days, the first day being the day before your ovulation day and the second day being your ovulation day exactly. So if you get this kit, using the 14th day of your cycle as a constant, start testing on the 12th day but make sure it's the same time every day, preferably in the afternoon, the first day you get a positive result means that the following day is your ovulation day, make sure you meet with your husband very early in the morning, if you wait till night, the egg may be dead bearing in mind that an egg has a very short life span of 12 - 24hrs unlike the sperm that stays up to 72hrs. If you try this method, please stay away from sex for some days or even till the end of the month till you do a pregnancy test. While trying to conceive, start taking prenatal vitamins and consume alot of bananas. All the best

I got married in 2017 at the age of 40 and conceived after few months. Had a miscarriage and that was how my issue with fertility started. We discovered I had multiple fibroids. I went to series of hospitals and had scan done, was asked to remove it to enable me conceive and have babies. I prayed and cried. Then my self and hubby decided that I would have the surgery. At first my hubby was afraid.Later we decided to book for the surgery. I had the surgery done in December 2018 and has been believing God for what he will do. I joined RCCG fasting and prayed like my life depended on it. Traveled home for 2019 Christmas, went to my home church, prayed and told God what I will do for the church when I come back for Christmas again with His heritage. Before I left home back to Lagos, my mother prayed for me. I am pregnant now and I have been amazed. Please hold onto God. He is faithful to fail.He doesn't look at age when He wants to bless you.

I'm 39yrs,have been ttcing for 6 years, one miscariage at 34yrs and two failed ivf.

Everyone was getting pregnant except me, no tears to cry. Yes it all dried up. God suddenly showed me that He alone is the giver of life, the beginning and the end. My husband was very prayerful and I was slowly losing hope. I was thinking about using an egg donor until I got pregnant naturally. Jesuuuuuuuuu.

What we did - first I lost some weight, after ivf I was big at 85kg.so I started water fast, juicing, skipping breakfast and everyday walking.
I was able to come down to 75kg. I don't like going to the gym.
I had multiple fibroid, Dr advised I should not operate as it would leave a scar on my uterus as the fibroids were not inside my uterus.

Then my husband was taking proxeed plus supplements, two sachets a day. It's good for sperm count and morphology/motility of sperm. Some men have a dormant sperm that can't travel to the fallopian tube after sex, the sperm dies off. very strange!!! Pls your partner should check this to be on the safe side.
I was taking proceive maximum supplement for women, one sachet a day.
I stopped eating dairy products due to my fibroids.
We only have sex twice, a day before and on the day of ovulation. I used clear blue digital to pinpoint two fertile days.
After sex, I raise my legs up, put a pillow for at least 20 to 30mins and don't get out of the bed. Before sex I don't drink water so as to not get out of the bed after sex. It might sound difficult but when you are desperate you can do anything.

Most importantly prayers. Talk to God all the time, at home, on the road, toilet everywhere.

My goodness, thank you Jesus for saving me. The stress I went through I won't wish for my enemy. I will be 40 in two weeks God I'm grateful. For all the women ttcing, you are in my prayers, just watch and see what God will do for you. Hugs and kisses!!!!!

I have been feeling a bit heavy /tightened in my tummy(as if I did exercise for flat tummy). Is that a pregnancy symptom? It's too early to do a strip test

TTC is not an easy journey, especially in Nigeria. Neighours, friends and families are always quick to remind you of your status at every given opportunity. Mine was for two years before God in his infinite mercy answered my prayers. The God of Abraham Moses Jacob David and Elijah who did mine will surely answer all those who are on TTC journey on this blog in Jesus name. Put your trust in him do all the necessary test, take medication and relax. He never fails, he is the same yesterday, today and forever

When I met my husband, I was a virgin. We made love a month after he proposed and it seemed like my family were dragging leg on agreeing on a wedding date. After a few times, I realised I was pregnant. I was devastated to say the least, i had led a reasonably responsible life up till that point, and after waiting 27years, an out-of-wedlock pregnancy was not the way I wanted to start my marriage. My husband on the other hand was over the moon, he begged me not to terminate it (I wasn't that brave and didn't see myself doing it) but somehow, deep down, I did hope it would just disappear, fall out somehow. I took many risks, threw myself into work 200 percent. Accepted emergency response deployment with my organisation that meant hundreds of hours on the worst roads you have ever seen, 18 hour working days and all sorts of stress. But this baby was determined to stay.
We got married and I had the baby a few months later, there were a few raised eyebrows but he was so cute and adorable, I did not care. After he was weaned, we started to try for another child.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is going on eight years since I had my son, and I have not been able to conceive yet. Sometimes I ask myself, what if I had lost that first pregnancy? Would I have been childless until now? I still ask God for mercy for wishing it away those years. We have been seeing doctors and undergoing all sorts of tests, still........
May God answer all TTC women soon. Sending love to you all.

Never give up hope. I had a baby at 47 years old and I strongly believe prednisolone helped me stay pregnant. Google prednisolone and pregnancy for the dose and duration to take it for. Lots of women have a high level of something called killer cells in their uterus and in fighting against them the body becomes over active and kills all foreign cells including - yes, you guessed right - foetus’. A lot of women never even realize they get pregnant and miscarry because of this problem, they just assume they are infertile. I took it from a few days before I ovulated to when I was 12 weeks pregnant and weaned off it gradually. It is a steroid used for skin problems and asthma, but was found to reduce the killer cell level and so allow women who had as many as 20 miscarries go on to have healthy babies. It is worth trying as you can buy it easily in any chemist and it is a commonly used drug. Good luck because TTC can send be very depressing and my heart bleeds for all those trying. Good luck.

Stella, thanks for this post. You see TTC is not a journey I wish even for an enemy because it’s a tough emotional journey. As a young girl I happened to have been pregnant twice but youthful exuberance made me take it out(an act I regret till tomorrow)and for the life of me after those pregnancies I haven’t been pregnant again. I got married in 2014 prior to that time I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend who is now my hubby but no pregnancy occurred even though sometimes I took postinor I should have thought I had a problem but I waved it.

My boyfriend/husband didn’t bother bcus he already had a child with his ex but on few occasions he dropped hints on how his dad worried him why haven’t I conceived and that if only my hubby has stuck to his advice making sure I got pregnant before marriage hubby and myself won’t be in a mess like this. Fellow BV this journey has drained me prying eyes, derogatory comments, gossips here n there this has affected my relationship with my so called in-laws.

Hubby left the shores of nigeria in 2016 and by 2017 he had impregnated another lady in the abroad while I was here in naija looking forward to when I would join him alas I was the last person to find out bcus his family n few friends knew of what happened but you see hubby confessed all to me personally how it all happened if I tell you I didn’t die that day then I am a liar I died and woke up I felt hopeless n cursed God that day asking if my sins were too grievous to forgive anyways I joined my hubby months later abroad yet my father in-law was angry that hubby ought to have moved on with the person who gave both for him here in North America saying me I have not been able to produce nothing. I don’t talk to my in laws no more though however to be honest hubby has been supportive despite the fact he already has another child and the baby mama is really giving him issues(you know how baby mamas can be). I had a surgery in 2018 where I lost one tube and doctor said the other tube was not good enough We had our first ivf in December but it failed and I swear it destroyed me I resorted to trying herbs and I don’t know if that would work I am not loosing hope yet but from my research lately I think coupled with the blocked tube I am not ovulating. This TTC has left me devastated nothing pastors n prophets have not said either I am advised to leave my hubby or that I have spirit husband or that something is eating my children or that I am under a curse I am just tired and drained. Next thing father inlaw keeps insulting my husband y doesn’t he bring the child to our house where we live on different occasions I have hear where he told his father that it’s enough pain he has caused me in impregnating another woman that it would be even more wicked of him to bring d child in to run it in my face that d child is better off with the mother all he needs to do is visit when needed and pay his child support but no way my in-laws want the child in my house

I have always had irregular period as a girl. My cycle used to be 45 days long, period once in 2 months. I never saw this as a problem, when my friends in hostel were having regular periods, I saw mine as a relief. I kept my virginity for a reasonable length of time, so there was no pregnancy anxiety over my irregular cycle.

I got married in 2010 and started looking forward to getting pregnant without any delay. There and then, my long irregular cycle became a sudden problem. I had no idea on how to even track my ovulation and because of that I became prematurely anxious.

After 6 months in marriage I visited a doc. Although he said he was supposed to attend to fertility issues after 1 year of trying, but he would listen to me,because my irregular cycle could be a symptom Of a problem. He placed me on clomid and gave me a date to go for a transvaginal scan. The result said I had very small eggs and at the date of scan, Ideally, I should have bigger eggs. That cycle ended and I did not get pregnant. Doc told me that I should start getting ready for ovulation drugs, that I could'nt ovulate on my own, that what I had was annovulation and that what I called my period was just breakthrough bleeding.

I told dear hubby about the eggs and hubby said we should wait on God and that I should not go for any treatment anymore, that my eggs were big enough for our kids.

I got pregnant 2months later, we were overjoyed.weeks later I went for a scan and there was no heartbeat, I was told I had a missed abortion, I did not bleed, sac was intact and i was asked to go for an evacuation. I felt shattered, i was heart broken. After 2 months my period did not come, which was not unusual with my kind of cycle, But I started feeling funny, did a urine test and it was positive. Another round of joy and laughter ended in tears 4 weeks later, as brown discharge turned into a steady flow of bright red blood, not without intense cramps and blood clots. Another miscarriage!!! I wept without reserve.

3months later, no period, familiar funny symptoms started. I summoned courage to take another urine test and two very bold pink lines were so eager, to say hello to my eyes which were already laced with smiles that quickly transformed into panic. Fear set in because of the previous miscarriages. We kept trusting God and everything looked good. When I was 10weeks into that pregnancy, woke up one morning and noticed I was bleeding red, I forgot my faith and thought it was over. Hubby drove me to the clinic and he kept saying we would not lose this one, I did not believe him! They took me for a scan immediately , fetal heartbeat was intact, intact a small image was dancing on the screen. I was told to go and rest. We prayed and that same evening, the bleeding stopped.

I had that baby. The most adorable baby girl ever, with lots of hair and heavenly implanted face dimples from birth. I did exclusive bf and I never got a period before I fell pregnant and had another miscarriage.

God blessed me immediately after my third miscarriage with a bouncing baby boy, 2 years later without any period, I had another gorgeous boy.

3 miscarriages rewarded with 3 adorable looking children. God made these conceptions possible without any MENSTRUAL PERIOD. Today my cycle is more regular than it use to be, I heard with childbirth cycle length reduces. It's about 35 or 37 days now. I DON BORN FINISH.

To every woman in line for miracle babies, keep trusting God. Luke 1:45 was my anchor scripture. Blessed is she who believes for in due season, there shall be a performance of those things which were told her of the lord.

I was told I was not ovulating, my menstrual cycle did not go by the books and ovulation could not be accurately tracked, I had my 3 kids in quick successionS, 2 years spacing. First delivery 2013 2nd delivery 2015, 3rd delivery 2017 . THE MOST HIGH GOD DID IT. keep the faith burning, YOUR WAIT IS OVER IN JESUS NAME

my ttc Journey
I got married 6 years ago 2014 and we started trying for baby but nothing . During the process, I was diagnosed of severe endometriosis and blocked Fallopian tubes . I did practically everything on earth, 3 laparoscopy., 1 hysterescopy , 3 Ivfs . I have almost given up when I did a frozen embryo transfer and God surprised me with a positive result. I am currently 6 months pregnant and it’s still like a movie for me . I can’t thank God enough .

Stella, i thank you for this post. Been married for five years. Two hysterescopy, one failed IVF and another failed IUI. it has not been an easy journey from one hospital to another. My major problem is cervical stenosis. Now i have been carrying catheter for a while now. Before i came to this hospital i was seeing my period even with the Stenosis but now i need the pipe cos anytime it is removed my cervix gets stenosed and blood accumulates in my womb so have to go for dilation. The doctors are confused and i am very confused too cos they said they have never experienced this kind before. Above all i am grateful to God for life and i believe all things work together for my good. Saving up for another round of IVF.
