Hello ladies! So I’m back. I eventually settled for South Shore Hospital for the laparoscopic myomectomy, hopefully by next month I should go in for it. They are having a 20% discount promo going on so I just took advantage of that lol. Meanwhile the adoption process is quite hard, we are currently going to orphanages to check and it has be an…[Read more]

Hello! I don’t think Christmas is feasible as I haven’t even started visiting homes yet to make a selection and I am sure there will be paperwork after the selection but I’ll keep you guys updated just in case anyone wants to tow that line.

Hello! Yes I am adopting from Lagos State. Started the process last year. I just got approval. The process is frustrating.

I’m really worried about medicare in Nigeria, that’s why the India thing came up. I have checked out some hospitals already but I am yet to fully decide. I will still consider South Shore

Thank you for the reassurance that I didn’t do anything wrong and that South shore is a preferable option. They are actually slightly cheaper than Nordica and they have excellent customer service even though they didn’t reach out to me afterwards. Sometimes all a customer needs is that extra nudge

Hello Ladies! So I’m back. I decided to take a break from the whole fertility thing and live. Meanwhile, I started an adoption process and currently close to the last stage. I revisited the issue of having the fibroids and scar tissue removed, I went to Southshore and after a few tests they concluded I go for a laparoscopic myomectomy. I decided…[Read more]

@fruityfruity, I don’t think Luth have the facilities for removing adhesion, do you know anyone who has successful done it there? Just the thought of a government owned hospital scares the living daylight out of me lol. If the two procedures can’t be done at once, then I’ll take my chances doing one at a time.

Hello @Nicole, thanks for your response. The size is 5cm and it’s inside the uterus

@oluwakemine I am trying to decide between Georges and South shore for a second opinion and treatment. You will remember from my earlier posts that I attempted a myomectomy which was unsuccessful cos of the adhesion. I wouldn’t want to go under the knife more than once again because of the healing time. I am really confused and just need some direction

Hello ladies! Happy New Year. I have decided to seek a second opinion as suggested, I please have a few questions and I’ll be really glad to receive responses and advice . Has anybody removed fibroids and adhesions at the same time? If yes, what technique was used and which hospital(s)? I know @nicole mentioned Georges for the adhesions but not…[Read more]

I had it done at Eko Hospital with Dr. Ogunmokun, the IVF and IUI were at St. Ives.

Ironically, the gynae is very experienced and an IVF specialist. I haven’t sought a 2nd opinion cos I don’t know where to go and I think most doctors are quick to suggest IVF. I am really at wits end

So it’s been a long time I posted here. This year has been overwhelming in relation to my fertility struggle. I had a failed ivf last year, I was advised to take out the fibroid but was asked to try an iui first because it was less invasive so I did that in February this year. Failed as well. So I booked for a myomectomy, after the procedure I got…[Read more]

@Nicole yes Smith Hospital is covered. Never gave them much thought though. Will check it out. Thanks a lot!

Hello Ladies. Has anyone used or knows someone that used Medison Specialist Women’s Hospital at Lekki or Parklande in Surulere? My HMO plan doesn’t cover Southshore and I can’t pay the difference for the fibroid op. Thank you.

@iyawodiipo thank you for the suggestion

The doctor said they can’t explain what happened cos everything went well. I didn’t have any complications, I had good embryos though I did a day3 transfer. It was St. Ives and I had a issues with some of their practices but that is bygone. I just want to have a normal life. Gosh I look like I am 4 months pregnant and I am a size 10
