Emotions and Infertilty

When the bible talks about guarding your heart with all diligence (Prov 4:23), i never really took it seriously until i started TTC. Now those who are familiar with this know we go through all kinds of emotions when friends/ close relations birth their kids, some are already pregnant before the wedding and you are 4 years or more down the line after marriage, you hear someone gets rid of a pregnancy she does not want. Yea, you know that feeling right. Lol

Today, I want to draw some examples from the bible to show we need to keep our emotions in check while we wait. Reason being i got so worried one day and was really thinking about a whole lot of negative things and God reminded me of Matt.6:25 so whenever i go south i try to remember that scripture.

Firstly, we would look at Sarah and Abraham in Gen.16. Sarah decided her husband should bed her maid. Sarah was desperate and did not think through (MPOV). I guess she must have been thinking who would inherit all they had worked for. Her husband also just dived in, scored a goal and her maid decided to be haughty.

Secondly, we have Hannah, Peninah and Elkanah in 1 Sam 1. Every year, they would all go for Shiloh and Hannah would pray and fast. Peninah was the first wife with children and she would taunt and make mockery of Hannah and God. I want to believe Hannah attended lots of ' church program' and did a lot of fasting and praying. Does that sound familiar anyone? Hannah was bitter and with deep pains she went to prayer at Shiloh a particular year and took a vow to give up her child after birthing him.

Thirdly, we have Jacob.Rachel and Leah in Gen.30. Two sisters married to the same man.One loved more than the other. God decided to open the womb of the unloved (Leah) and she kept birthing kids hoping 'Jay' would come to love her . Rachel could not stand it and demanded 'Jay' gives her kid. I am sure they tried in the 'other room' and when it was not forthcoming she gave her maid to 'Jay' to get her pregnant.This started a Pregnancy Match between both sisters and their maids.

Finally, we have the stories of Manoah in Judges 13, Elizabeth and John in Luke 1, we have the story of Rebekah and Isaac. In all these stories we see a lot of emotions in play here. Let us learn to take a deep breathe before any rash decision. God is a God of Mercy and we will rejoice soon. I am alive, therefore i am a step closer to my miracle.

Happy Weekend!!!

Male Infertility: Supplement Reviews

Hello everyone. Yea, it's been a while. I am writing a brief review today on some fertility supplements. Some we have used and some from my friends. Each product had different results. First product was Manix herbal capsules. The doctor prescribed for us to take for 3 months. We had a count of 13 million and motility of  10%. Dosage was 1 tablet in the morning and evening consecutively. It was also to betaken with milk. I think that was one thing we didn't like about the drug because we always had to have milk in  the house regularly. After three months we had a count of over 100 million but motility and viability barely improved. The motility improved from 10% to 30% and doctor recommended we move to Motility Boost from Fairhaven Health products. Motility Boost was used and we moved from 30% to 45% in 2 months. Point of note was also that we both treated infection before he commenced with motility boost. We continued with that and added Addyzoa to it. Addyzoa is made by

INFERTILITY:It is not about you

Growing up, i used to think once a lady had sex she becomes pregnant. I also used to think the only way to be pregnant was through intercourse😞. My thoughts continued that if a man kept himself, he would only need to 'fire' once and its a goal. Haa!, was i disappointed. However, i could not be bothered about what ovulation, follicle phase, luteal phase and all other terms was. Periods came like clockwork so i figured that qualifies me as being fertile. Getting older, i began to wonder why a 'virgin' would have to wait for a good number of year before she can miraculously conceive. I began  to wonder why someone who has undergone several uterine evacuations would at the snap of her eyelids conceive again and again. I began to wonder why males who have been sowing the wild oat freely and regularly find it easy to hit the goal post more than their chaste comparison. I discovered a man could shoot total blanks and a woman could have all he signs for the precious O

Have You seen Your Doctor?

Hiiiiiii, Happy holidays.I am sure we all enjoyed he long break. I just want to ask if you have seen a doctor concerning conception? Silence is never the answers neither is not taking action. Man or woman, please grab the bull by the horns and see a Gynecologist, Urologist and any other specialist needed for your case. When a couple is trying to conceive, both should be open minded. There is no need to cast stones. It could be a his and her problem or a his /her problem. The fact that you impregnated a woman years back does not exonerate you or as a woman the fact that you could 'catch' pregnancy fast a while back does not exonerate you.Both should be available and willing to carry out all tests where applicable and be supportive. Please no stone throwing 😁. Sometimes, a little counselling, drugs, diet, lifestyle adjustment advice from the doctor might just be what you need. In cases where the underlying issues are complex, it helps that you know about it and start wo
