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 .

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

[@itskemuntoslife1414]

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.

[@faithmwende2369]

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

[@Mary-hs4zd]

I have blocked tubes.several miscarriages fibroids endometriosis.1 baby via IVF and hoping for more .

[@lydiahkerry9911]

I also have blocked tubes two ectopic pregnancies no child i wish i could afford IVF six years now trusting in God

[@beatricemuringi4120]

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.

[@siniusaudrey3387]

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!

[@waitherachebbe3150]

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

[@lucydda3398]

True

[@brendambala6738]

This has made me cry. Holy Spirit teach us to know what to say and if to even say it.

[@mercykairu7267]

God what i really want you to give me right now is to give me back my joy, my peace,fulfillment in life....this has really blessed me

[@wangarimuriithi8748]

..in this moment God allow me to feel complete”

[@jaeladega3925]

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.

[@wangarimuriithi8748]

[@liliannyatichi3056]

Dear God of Kambua! Amen!

[@Njitagwo_Shiro]

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.

[@ivykinyanjui3345]

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.

[@faithnkirote2413]

I am so glad we are having these conversations. "Be kind, Be gracious, and most importantly mind your own business."

[@mswanjiru6944]

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

[@marypitson3179]

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.

[@leahsonnie3325]

HSG was the most painful thing I went through. Women we are strong😢

[@brigitlameka5030]

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.

[@loisekasiva5432]

Amen

[@JustMe-nq7dz]

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.

[@njambikiburio7836]

Loving you Kambua and all other women in this journey.❤

[@pvictory5023]

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.

[@rosenangila1125]

Only God knows how i love you kambua...i wish to one day meet you. Just b'cos you carried it well doesn't mean it isn't heavy ❤❤❤❤.

[@graceobongo67]

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

[@milkahkagumba7487]

You are a strong woman Kambua....

[@ivynjeri45]

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.

[@janeachieng3428]

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

[@jaelaluoch3430]

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.

[@janetbungei5]

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.
