Thank you all for being here. Let’s continue to heal and learn together. When we know better, we do better. And for every woman walking this journey and has no courage to speak up, I will speak for you 🦋
HSG was one of the most painful procedures in my infertility journey .I remember the fertility specialist quoting me a minimum of $25,000 for IVF and ended up doing traveling to Kenya to do it .I did 2 cycles which didn't work and got pregnant naturally a few months after .She is 20 months now .
After getting married,underwent myomectomy,cystectomy,3 Hsg's,several tests,scans,endometriosis,sijui yu have water in your ovaries,uweeeh and after all this a doctor tells you to your face"mum you will never get pregnant" But who is God,He blessed us with a handsome boy.. Truly what God cannot do doesnt exist.. Thank you Kambua you are heaven sent ..
I am 30. I have had 1 adorable son and 3 angel babies ie 1 miscarriage and 2 raptured ectopic pregnancies. I have lost both my fallopian tubes but I know God will show off through me when I decide to do IVF. The pain though is unbearable, still cry from time to time but all will be well. Mine will be a testimony
Two HSG tests,several blood work,one transvaginal screening and one cystectomy surgery.Several cycles of hormonal balancing meds.Six years of waiting and counting...Some heavy nights yet you have to put on a brave face during the day.May God change my story one day.Praying for only one +ve test.
Thanks for sharing this Kambua.You are a voice for many of us. Infertility was the hardest thing I ever experienced. I am now blessed with 1 year old twins.
Am always here and i love this conversations, am a nurse and always look forward to provide best services. Listening and learning on how i can be a safe space for ladies or couples struggling with fertility issues
Thanks Kambua for this. "Sina ubaya" "my intentions were good" "I don't mean to be rude"........etc. are words said by people just before they were rude or before they said sth that came out badly. The truth is they already know they should not say it but their itch to say is more important than to be sensitive. So their intention is usually very selfish and has nothing to do with the person they are talking to. These conversations are important to have. It's important to speak up.
Kambua is the female version of Mkurugenzi(Abel). I always look forward to listening to you. You are such a blessing. I know God gives some of the toughest battles to His strongest soldiers!!!God knew Kambua would give so many women hope. Bottom line..you are a victor and a huge blessing!
Thanks for opening this conversation. Secondary infertility is assumed. Weah!!!! The pain of being told to get your child a playmate, ooo you need to slow down. I thank God that after 11 years I got a second born. I have a 13 year old and a 2 year old. That HSG test is the real definition of pain
Those who ask their friends how many children do you have? Why don't you have any? What are you waiting for without getting to know what a woman has gone through should stop and should be ashamed of themselves These were reasons I have avoided reunions and lengthy conversations with childhood friends Kudos to those who've kept quiet and maybe prayed secretly or waited for me to speak about my children or marriage when I'm ready. We need to have these conversation as africans and be at peace. May God remember all waiting wombs and healing souls
Thank you Kambua! I feel that you have told my story, word for word. Strangers asking when is she getting a playmate, relax it will happen, maybe you should see a specialist....... I appreciate you speaking out. I thank God for the support my family and community gave me. I am still healing. God is a promise keeper. My gal is 4yrs 10months.
39:14 secondary infertility!!! That one! Walking that journey now, thank you for talking about it. Nine years now since my first born, the pressure is real! But with God! This too shall pass.
Thank you for your vulnerability Kambua. For letting us into the struggles women that are struggling to conceive go through. Indeed, there is nothing God cannot do - I have seen Him do it in His time for my friends.
Thank you for taking time to educate us. Your ability to ask God for joy and peace in such a difficult time is truly inspiring. You’re an amazing storyteller and teacher.
This is such an eye opener..... Thanks for sensitizing many...... and thanks be to God for the testimony He has given your family. To any couple listening to this, may God do it for you too ! He is the same one who did it for Kambua's family.
Nearly 2 years of trying with, PCOS crippling in and many questions on when are you having a baby, two weeks of listening to you and I am blessed and comforted, thank you Kambua
That HSG is very uncomfortable....Mine was PCOS but after 8yrs in marriage God blessed us with a handsome boy he is now 2yrs and we thank God for His Faithfulness and miracles.
Thank you for sharing kambua u have lifted my spirit. I have struggled for 5yrs now without any success due to fibroid but trusting God for a breakthrough. I have 2 surgeries laparoscopy and myomectomy which affected my health alot especially hb. I did many hsgs plus other tests that have left me penless. Pray for us to God for intervention.
The HSG was sooooo terrible for me. Later i heard that women are supposed to be given painkillers before rhe procedure. I wasnt. I was in so much pain during and after the procedure. And i was alone, my husband was away. I cried. And I had to go back to work after two hours.
Thank you so much Kambua,you have no idea the impact you're making .I pray for you and your family, that through this you may experience supernatural blessings and unending joy from the Lord
Kambua, you are a gem. Words can't explain how imapctful you have been toady of us. I love you, Kambua. There is a reel you put on IG on how you will praise God with or without wht you have prayed for. May God elevate you Much ❤
Thank you for teaching us and giving us hope Kambua.Thank you for encouraging us that God is able. May God bless you and your family. hoping for God to bless me someday day. Amen
Thank you Kambua for sharing, I'm a mom. I am so challenged as well as encouraged even rebuked to be more gracious as I speak to fellow women and to be kind towards them. And yes, I love your earings too. Blessings
Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing with us your journey. Societal expectations on having kids are harsh. Not having kids or having one is deemed incomplete. Mine is secondary "unexplained." Had 2 hsg both done by a female doctor. I was told to take tylenol 30 mins before. Maybe that helped. It was seamless and painless. Infertility is physically, financially, and mentally draining. People need to mind their own wombs, not others.
How the video ended....I remember in 2017 after I lost my baby at 10 weeks, the doctor asking if I was trying to abort and if I had aborted before 🤦 the insensitivity. And now I'm a 2 boy mom (5 and 1 year old)
Kambua, THANK YOU! Thank you for using your experience and platform to hold space for those who may never speak up. God bless you! God bless your family!
Oh Kambua you are so beautiful! Such a heart of gold. Thank you for using your story to encourage others. May the God who has already blessed you continue filling your cup beyond your wildest imagination.
6yrs strggling gone for operation for tubes but none.depression ad stress can kill u.iVF is the only option but i cant even afford.am just left wit God to do His miracle one day
Hi Kambua, on commercialisation of reproductive health, I just want to mention that our traditional wakunga helped women for free. In Kikamba, we say ng'ondu i mwana. But we have all run away from our traditions to the churches. Thank you for sharing your journey 🥰🥰
Thank you Kambua for your story,they are motivating. I love them so much. I resonate with what you said about being married by 25 years, thus how i used to think that by 25 i be having my first born, here I'm with no boyfriend something that i thought it's easy, here I'm trying to fight those thoughts in my head, just wondering how can one fight those thoughts, the society will start talking I don't know how I'm going to handle all those. Kindly advice
HSG test is the worst possible thing. The fact that medics downplay it is even worse. I asked my OB several times to explain the magnitude of the procedure and he kept saying, "You'll be in and out in no time." I was horrified at the intensity of the pain and even thought something had gone wrong. I remember lying on that hospital bed feeling exactly what you described - defeated. But God. The God of miracles. The God who heals and restores. Thank you for sharing your story Kambua.
Mine is a different story Kambua , but also in the difficult season of waiting on God. Its still waiting. You have no idea how listening to your story and watching these episodes minister to my heart ,and teaches me how to be these to other women who are in their waiting season or journeying differently. I am learning, i am becoming a better person. Some of the words you have mentioned are also triggers in my season....We keep holding unto faith.
I took a hormonal test in February and when the results came back, my FSH levels were extremely high... indicative of early menopause. I remember searching online for testimonials of women who had gone through similar results and had success stories. Coz it wasn't the same, getting encouragement from people who didn't know how it felt to hear such news.... I'm still waiting on God but it is encouraging to hear of what He has done for you. God bless.
Could I just suggest that people stop advising trying couples to "Just relax".You know nothing about that space. In other news, our miracle baby is now 9 months old!!!!God is a way maker.
Pole, I avoided my friends too, ended up so depressed didn't know who to talk to. Haki Mungu ni nani, I now have 1 year old twins! Naturally conceived. I will pray for you!
Several angel babies, 2 still borns one living and let me tell you the pain. 3hsg tests , 2 surgeries later and the trauma that comes with infertility is unbearable at times
Yes!!! It also hit me because that’s where I am, like everyone else is doing things so easily and it’s not so difficult for them, but I feel it’s so difficult for me and just taking so long. Yes, God is re-writing our stories. 🎉❤. We shall testify
This episode was so triggering 😢 Nothing crashed me more than the ‘unexplained infertility’ diagnosis! In as much as it ended in praise, this waiting journey was tough! From the tests to the defeat after each visit ah!
Thank you all for being here. Let’s continue to heal and learn together. When we know better, we do better. And for every woman walking this journey and has no courage to speak up, I will speak for you 🦋

@@lydiahkerry9911May it be so for you.

I love listening to her speak🥰
Thank you for your vulnerability Kambua. For letting us into the struggles women that are struggling to conceive go through. Indeed, there is nothing God cannot do - I have seen Him do it in His time for my friends.
29:01 “God in this moment, allow me to feel complete” when the husband, children, career come, they will be a bonus. ❤
Thank you for taking time to educate us. Your ability to ask God for joy and peace in such a difficult time is truly inspiring. You’re an amazing storyteller and teacher.
Thank you for sharing..May the Lord remember those who are waiting🙏
Kambua, Thank you! Just thank you! You don't know what you have done by just telling this story
I am so glad we are having these conversations. "Be kind, Be gracious, and most importantly mind your own business."
This has made me cry. Holy Spirit teach us to know what to say and if to even say it.
Her husband's response was sweet and for sure God is faithful
I love the earrings to bits!
This is such an eye opener.....
Thanks for sensitizing many......
and thanks be to God for the testimony He has given your family. To any couple listening to this, may God do it for you too ! He is the same one who did it for Kambua's family.

Just relax is the most irritating thing
There's a "friend" i intentionally avoid because all the time, she has to ask me if i am pregnant , or even touch my tummy and ask iko kitu? 😢
Pole for their insensitivity
Pole, I avoided my friends too, ended up so depressed didn't know who to talk to. Haki Mungu ni nani, I now have 1 year old twins! Naturally conceived. I will pray for you!
@itskemuntoslife1414 woww, God is truly faithful, congratulations for the twins and thanks for the prayers 💕
Just confront her about it. You can tell her how her comments make you feel and ask her to stop! You need to stand up for yourself
@allthingspelicia5735 believe me i have, but there are those who enjoy torturing someone i guess.
Several angel babies, 2 still borns one living and let me tell you the pain. 3hsg tests , 2 surgeries later and the trauma that comes with infertility is unbearable at times
I cried so much in this episode 😢
Hugs
Very powerful conversation ❤
Am at 3yrs now waiting, i hate when people tell me 3yrs is still early ati some people have waited even 10yrs,
I agree, waiting is waiting. The dynamics are different. Grace to you during this season.
Its amazing i feel you are narrating my story we have so many similarities in the infertility journey 😢
God wins.. he is gracious and kind to fulfill our desires
Amazing one 🎉
God of Kambua
Huu❤❤❤
the part where she said that everyone seems to have their lives together well planned out " hit me cz im un the same place wondering,where am i?
My prayers with you Grace. It's not accidental to have made us listen to this.May He give you a testimony
You are not alone. Am sailing in the same boat.
May God bless you with what you so desire. You are not alone & God has not abandoned you. He will come through for you too.
@@faithmutisya2860 From your mouth to God's ears🙏
Yes!!! It also hit me because that’s where I am, like everyone else is doing things so easily and it’s not so difficult for them, but I feel it’s so difficult for me and just taking so long. Yes, God is re-writing our stories. 🎉❤. We shall testify
You are so beautiful Kambua
I'm loving this conversation, however..... the music & melody is distracting.... 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
HSG is a monster! Wueeeh! Craziest thing you can ever go through
This episode was so triggering 😢
Nothing crashed me more than the ‘unexplained infertility’ diagnosis! In as much as it ended in praise, this waiting journey was tough! From the tests to the defeat after each visit ah!
Thank you for sharing! Lots to learn.
