Christian ladies TTC needing prayer and positive thoughts!

[alibaba24]

me too!

Hey I want to join! This is my 11th cycle TTC and I'm 1 or 2 dpo. Every test we've had has come back normal.

I waited a long time for my husband and the feelings I had about being single (and watching everyone else get married) feel very similar to the feelings I have about TTC and seemingly everyone around me getting pregnant! God's timing really is perfect and he brought me and my husband together when the time was right. We both had some maturing to do and if we had found each other earlier, we may not have liked each other or we would have screwed things up. I'm trying to use that experience as a reminder that maybe God is trying to teach me something during this TTC journey; patience, reliance on him, openness with my husband - all things I'll need to be a parent.

I really believe what I said up there, but I'm talking a good game because the reality is that I have a lot of anxiety - like - what if I am infertile?!?! It's at its worst right after af shows her ugly face. Right now (in the tww) I feel much more hopeful. But having ladies who understand who I can talk to, who are praying for me, is such a comfort. So yes, I covet your prayers!

I found this verse recently, never noticed it before: "He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children." Psalm 113:9

That is my prayer for all of us!

I completely understand what you mean. I have to remind myself everyday that his timing is perfect and he knows what is best for us.

But it is so hard for me not be think about what if it doesn't happen, what if something is wrong since its been so long, what if and why not..

I have/am really trying to step back this cycle and trust in him. Its very hard, but I really am trying and that is all we can do. Pray, trust, and try!

It's been a while, how is everyone doing? I'm in the tww, I think 8DPO. Not really feeling any symptoms (although trying not to symptom spot) and really kind of feeling like this is not my month and it's never going to happen

At the same time, hope is so persistent... I go back and forth between feeling like it's never going to happen and then "yes, it will, I have to be patient, this is my month," and back again. It's quite the rollercoaster but not the fun kind!

 

[brittany12]

i'm doing well! I'm 9dpo and think I got a faint positive on a wondfo test today! I'm praying it turns into a nice strong bfp!

I hope this is your month too, but God's timing is perfect

That's awesome Brittany!!! Congrats!

Btw, what is prometrium (mentioned in your sig)?

 

[brittany12]

thank you! i'm still very cautious I can't completely believe it until I have it confirmed with a better test!

prometrium is an oral progesterone pill that I take during my LP to help my lining and lengthen my LP

 

[brittany12]

ladies, NEVER GIVE UP!

the power of prayer works! always trust in him and know that his timing is PERFECT!

Your posting right now I think is divine. I am feeling pretty low today, I'm 10dpo and usually have a 13 day LP, so I have 4 more days until I will let myself test or af shows up. I am really needing a good dose of hope and positivity so thank you! Please say a prayer for me that I get my bfp on Thursday!

 

[brittany12]

yes, do not give up! I had a faint line on wondfo the other day and then negative yesterday and with FMU today.. I was so down and upset and then right before church I just had a feeling to test with SMU using FRER and there it was the faintest line I went into the living room shaking looking at it in good light and made DH look at it to make sure I wasn't crazy and he said he definitely saw the line! I've done two more and although still faint they've been there!

Keep praying and I will pray for you!

Congrats! Are you having any symptoms?

 

[brittany12]

yes, but i'm on prometrium and that mimics pregnancy symptoms sometimes. As of today though I've been very tired past 2 days, frequent urination past 2 days, headache today, and some pinching pain in one area for 2 days on and off

 

[FrancoRie710]

How's it going? Still positive?

 

[brittany12]

no change from yesterday.. it hasn't been even 24 hours though so i'm staying positive that hopefully SMU will be better. Plus my FMU was never good anyway

thank you! I need prayers!

Prayers that everything turns out well. We have been trying for two years. If nothing happens next month it's to a specialist for us which is scary to me because I fear the worst will be told.

I'm scared to go to a specialist too, it feels like admitting defeat or confirmation that there's something wrong. But so many people have said that they wish they had gone sooner, that their RE was much more compassionate, knowledgable, and thorough than their obgyn. So I'm giving to another month (so it's officially a year) and then going. I'm still holding out hope that I'll get a bfp before then.

 

[brittany12]

so i'm still having the brown spotting and decided to call my obgyn to find out what to do about the progesterone and everything..

well the phones have been down ALL day so I decided to go to their website and do an apt inquiry and let them know in the comments what was going on and so I did and his nurse was able to call me and leave a message (my cell didn't have service I guess) so I called back from home and it wouldn't go through so I called from my cell and it went through. WHen the lady answered I explained everything and told her I assumed their phones were down cause I've been trying to call and she said they have been down all day and it was weird that my call came through but there were like 20 other calls that did not.

I was so amazed and as soon as she said that I knew God was on my side and he's the reason my call went through. So in the middle of talking to his nurse the call was disconnected so I was like great now i'll never get back through and tried and it wouldn't go through tried from my cell again a few times and it wouldn't go through and then it finally went through again! So finished talking to her and while we were disconnected the first time she was able to talk to dr. and he wants me to come in tomorrow for bloods and then again on Thursday and then see him on Monday. She has to call me back so she can talk to him in between patients to find out what to do about the progesterone and let him know about the brown spotting..

so everyone please say a prayer that things go good with my betas and the spotting stops!

Congrats Brittany!!! Praying for your LO and your appointment tomorrow!

Lord, I ask right now that you would put your hand of protection over Brittany's baby right now in Jesus' name. Allow the baby to grow healthy and strong within her and allow her levels to do what they are supposed to do. Give the doctors the knowledge and ability to stop the spotting and help this little one to stay put for the entire pregnancy. And Please be with Brittany and comfort her, give her your peace in this Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen.
