Hello everyone, and welcome to my blog. Over the next couple of weeks, I'm going to take you on a roller coaster ride of what i call Love, Medicine and Everything in between.
So a little introduction, my name is Ada, no prefix or suffix needed......Im just Ada. I am a Nigerian from the eastern part of the country, however, I was born and raised in Abuja. I have a masters in Reproductive Medicine from the University of Sheffield UK, and by November, ill be a certified Clinical Embryologist. I am also about to start my PhD in the field. Don't mind the fancy words, simply put, I'm a Scientist that deals with infertile couples and through assisted reproductive techniques like IVF, help them become parents. I'm also a hopeless romantic, with a passion for food,cooking and travelling. So thats just me in a nutshell....very simple huh? Well hopefully we would have a lot more to talk about as we get to know each other a little better.
Okay, so I decided to start this blog because I realised the topic of infertility is a little steep especially in the developing world. People don't want to be associated with the notion of being infertile, or unable to conceive a child, especially after several years of marriage. Its kind of a "hush hush" topic especially in Nigeria and other parts of Africa where the pressure is put on the woman to conceive before she is out of her 30's. I'm definitely not going to stay here and presume that i know exactly what they are going through, because I believe everyones problems are different. But I believe a good support system and councelling should be in play, and everyone needs to be educated on break throughs in medical science which can help the situation.
Until next time, LOVE YOURSELF!!
