Christian ladies TTC, we can encourage one another.

1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us.

Sarah I'm praying for you sis! Be encouraged in knowing that your sisters in Christ across the globe are praying for you! God hears our prayers and I know that He will restore your joy and peace. :hugs:
 
I’ve been feeling really good lately, very calm, peaceful and no symptoms...until this morning. I woke up to use the bathroom, before heading to work, I noticed I some brown spotting. To be completely honest, my heart dropped. I always get brown spotting before my period starts. Through this journey I feel like the Lord keeps asking me, “Do you trust me?” and I reply, “I trust you Lord”. This time it was a little hard to say. I guess the past cycles that ended in BFNs all rushed to mind, especially with the first symptom being the brown spotting.

Besides that, I'm now starting to feel crampy, like AF is on her way.

I've been very hopefully through it all and that kinda hit me hard today :cry: I'm needing some extra prayer, feeling a little down.

:hugs: I'll be praying for you.
 
Thank you ladies, you're the best!

I'm happy to say that I'm feeling so much better now. I know deep down inside that God hasn't brought me here to just let me down. God is good and no matter what the outcome may be, I've been so blessed to have this opportunity available to me and to be able to share my testimony with a lot of the workers at the IVF clinic.

We will see what happens :flower:
 
Praying for you, dear Sara. Hopefully it was just some implantation bleeding and nothing more.
 
You're in my prayers Sarah. All things work together for the good... :hugs:
 
Romans 8:32

He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?


I was really down this weekend when af showed up saturday night I've asked God why cried begged pleaded and was soo down not even sunday service cheered me up or made me feel better. But I went to a Monday night bible study & my pastor shared this scripture (Rom. 8:32) And I really felt like it was for me personally. God wants to give us all good things. When we start to doubt God our faith decreases but our faith in God is still there but we have to renew our minds daily with the word to the point where we fully trust God. In Him we have all things we don't have to beg and ask God all we have to do is speak it out & believe it's already been done. It was then I knew God's going to give us a child there's no need to beg and pray about it all I have to do is trust Him that he is control knows what he's doing and it'll happen in is perfect timing. According to this scripture He graciously gives us ALL good things not some but All. God doesn't give us bad things. All we have to do is trust God and it's done no need to beg when you pray about it the spirit realm hears it so satan is going to do everything he can to discourage you. All we have to do is give it to God & there's no more reason to worry about it He gives us good things & will never fail. :)
 
Thanks for your welcome Ladies.
Sarah, we are definitely praying for you. May God grant you the desire of your heart according to His gracious will.
A brief preview of Mrembo. I am from Africa, Kenya to be specific and married to a wonderful man. I conceived for the first time in April 2010, but found out at around 24 weeks that my little princess was no more. I have never experienced greater pain than I did on that day.
Initially I was angry with God, for I felt he had mocked me- letting me experience the joy of carrying a baby, the excitement of feeling her kicking in my womb, and then suddenly taking her away, even without warning. It all did not make sense to me. I thank God for my husband, for he was there for me, always encouraging me, and praise Him( God) for the fact that the bitterness is gone, and in its place He has put a great hope for the future.
We are now trying to conceive for almost 1 year now, though it has been quite tricky owing to the fact that we live in different counties- I study around 7 hours drive away form where he works. I am believing that God will soon grant us our wish. Please pray for us so that the Lord's will may be done in our live, as we pray for you.
 
Sarah - Make sure you keep in mind that a lot of early pregnancy symptoms are a lot like pre-period symptoms. Including cramping and spotting.

Amen, good word sis...thanks for sharing :thumbup:

I know, it's just the 5 1/2 years of BFNs that start to creep up and tell me different.

Now when I see the spotting, I just smile and say, "Thank you Lord for getting rid of anything that doesn't need to be in my body in which my baby/babies don't need. I'm going to continue to walk by faith and not by sight."

Thank you for your prayers and for sharing your story with us :hugs:

I can't even imagine what you went through. I praise God that He has seen you through it and has continued to be your strength through it all. I know God will use your testimony to help so many women who have gone through similar situations.

How often do you get to see your hubby?
 
Many of us who deal with infertility will eventually embrace the idea of adoption and bring a child into our family through such a miracle. The adoption journey can be invigorating and terrifying, and sometimes just as frustrating as infertility. Just as we do when trying to conceive a child, adoptive parents will do whatever is necessary to bring a child into their family.

Let’s consider the scenario of a family who has made the decision to adopt a son from a foreign land. How utterly absurd would it be to place the burden of the adoption process on this infant boy? The child has no idea what to do, nor does he have the mental or physical abilities, financial means or the authority to do what needs to be done to join the family eagerly awaiting his arrival. How incredibly ridiculous for us to even suggest that this helpless child pick himself up out of his crib, figure out how to go about being assigned to the right family, approach the necessary governmental offices, sign the endless mountains of paperwork, and pay thousands and thousands of dollars for multiple fees. If by some ludicrous miracle he was able to do these things, then what is he supposed to do? Crawl to the nearest airport, fly across the sea, drive hundreds of miles to the family’s community, find the right house, knock on the door, introduce himself and begin forging new relationships? It would be laughable to even consider.

As ridiculous as it would be to assume that an orphaned little boy could go to such lengths to complete the adoption triad, how much more insane to believe that the excited adoptive parents would wait until the baby was smart enough, strong enough, or developed enough, before they would accept him into their family. Can you imagine? A tiny bundle all ready to be taken into their home and given their name, but the mother refuses to accept him until he is smart enough to read and recite the ABC’s. It would never happen in a million years. The parents can’t wait. They’d do anything to speed up the agonizingly slow process. They’ll go to any lengths necessary and do whatever it takes to bring that beloved child home. Oh the joy that explodes in their hearts when their child is finally a true member of their family!

You may have already pondered adoption through the eyes of an adoptive parent, but have you ever looked at it through the eyes of God? After all, He is the original adoptive parent. He knew there was a great separation between Him and His children. He watched us struggle, and knew we didn’t have the ability to join Him, so He did the work which we were unable to do to assure us our way into His family. He paid the debt we simply could not pay. He didn’t wait until we were good enough, strong enough or worthy enough to invite us to come to Him. He went to the greatest lengths to bring us home. No doubt His wait was excruciating. No doubt His love is unparalleled. No doubt the joy exploding in His heart is unequalled when a child joins His family!

If you have not accepted His invitation to join His family, please do so today. He longs for you just as you long for the baby you crave. He has already done all He could do to bring you home.

Why not join the family today?

Praying for you Sarah :) & all you other wonderful ladies. I have the opportunity through my church to go visit different churches and encourage them. My church has started what's called the faith in action team to build up the body of Christ. I'm soo excited about what Gods already been doing & what he's going to do. I really feel that if I put my focus more on God & just start going after Him full heartedly. I'm going to be soo busy doing the work God has for me that pregnancy is going to hit me by surprise. I really am just excited that I get to be part of going out and encouraging other members of the body of Christ. God is good & I can't wait to see what God has in store for each & everyone of you (:
