Hi ladies! Just want to join this little group :) My husband and I have been TTC for 2 years and have had 2 miscarriages in the past year. We have been diagnosed with female and male factor infertility (I have PCOS, he has low sperm count and low morphology). We are in the process of working with an OBGYN to help us conceive and maintain a pregnancy.
 
Welcome, MarksWife!

I'm a PCOS-er, too. Hubby was recently tagged for low morphology (decent count though...).

This is a good group. Lots of loving, caring women here! Welcome, welcome!

:wave: Thanks for the welcome! <3 I was just diagnosed with PCOS last week and put on Metformin. Hopefully that will help. My DH's numbers weren't HORRIBLE but definitely low (morph was 25, they want it at 30 or above, count was 17 mil, normal is 20-40 mil), so for now we are putting him back on Fertility Blend and Maca Root (he was taking those last summer when we conceived our angels) in hopes that they help.

Glad to be a part of the group :) :flower:
 
We're not too far off. Our morphology was 22%, but the total count was 66 mil (concentrated count 29 mil). Doc put him on CoEnzyme Q10 (OTC - 60 mg 2X a day) and we opted for the Men's FertilAid. I'm on the women's FertilAid.

Doc won't put me on metformin due to no miscarriages and I'm a non-insulin resistant.
 
Hi to all you lady followers of God :)

I wrote the following message to a dear friend in this forum, but felt the spirit of God encouraged me to share it to you girls as well. I hope you gain some inspiration and I pray you look to God through your current storm.

......................................................

So often we sit there and think to ourselves, 'WHY GOD?' we get so angry at him and think, 'Well if I were you God, this is what i would of done ..' As if for some reason we could do it better. I think the 2 hardest parts is;

1. Having faith to believe
2. Having faith when you believe it isn't fair

It's only when we go through pain we think God is unjust. It seems impossible during the painful times to think God wants whats best for us, when people around us seem to get things easily when we have been trying for years to get what they receive in a second. We become even more mad at God as we feel overlooked, and forgotten about, but most of all feel our faith has been shaken.

Let me remind you that a baby is a blessing in the eyes of the Lord. People who don't follow the word of God, just don't get it like we do.
They don't get the appreciation when our prayers are answered and we know who has answered them. They wont get that unreal sensation when they look into their child's eyes and all they see is a miracle, an indescribable anointing on that child's life, both now and throughout their life. People around you may fall pregnant and i don't doubt how easily they fall and how undeserving they are of that privilege.

But ..

There is no testimony here.
No breakthrough of prayer.
No anointing.
No story to tell their child/ children of how badly mummy and daddy wanted them to come into the world.
No appreciation or gratitude towards God for what he has created.

I believe this with all my heart, there is a difference between a child that was conceived over coincidence, mistake or spontaneity. Compared to a child that was CRIED over, FOUGHT for, PRAYED about, and DECLARED into this world. That little girl or boy has God's covering over their life. Which to me, is something to be proud of and look forward to.

There always is a light through the tunnel, but you have to keep walking to see it

@ Markswife! PLEASE go read my journal.... Its not ver complete as i stopped journalling becasue it felt like it kept me focused on the negative. But it give you a good idea of the problems we faced. GOD IS GREAT AND STILL WORKS MIRACLES!!!! In addistion to the problems mentioned in my journal in February the doc wanted to put me back onto birthcontrol due to two LARGE cysts on each ovary. I didnt have peace about it and prayed extensively about it..... When i went to doc again i asked that he checks to see if cysts are still ther before i agree to go on BC. The cysts were GONE!!! By a MIRACLE!!! Even the doc said its a miracle!!! I went off all medication (estrogen and clomid) and WE FELL PREGNANT the same month!!!

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!! JUST KEEP BELIEVING IT!!!

Was at doc this mornin..... he says im 5 weeks along. WE saw the getational sac ;) SOOOOO HAPPY!!!

Welcome :hugs: My name is Sarah and I'm so glad you've joined us.

First of all, I'm very sorry to hear about your angels...I know they are being taken good care of by our Heavenly Father.

You know what the great thing about God is??? No circumstance that comes up is to great for Him. There have been many ladies who have conceived when the odds where against them. God has a perfect plan for you and your family and I pray that He surrounds you with His peace during this waiting time.
 
Faithful your post brought tears to my eyes and I agree 100% with everything you said. I also have to say that it really perked me up about a different situation in my life right now as it reminded me that God is always in the midst of what's going on. Sometimes I get scared and my thoughts run away with me and I have to pray my sanity back and your post really helped me this morning. Thank you!

Markwife, all things definitely are possible with our God! I have pcos as well and my hubbs has a low sperm count...I mean like 2-5 mil, but glory to God He hasn't quit His miracle work! We tried clomid for almost a year and couple fo IUIs and nothing. When the pain, physically from the meds and emotionally got to be just too much we stopped everything. My husband and I prayed strongly about this individually and talked one morning and just so happened to be on the same with everything. A few months later I was pregnant. Then I was worried cause of the pcos and the fact that I have an underactive thyroid and diabetes runs in my family that gestational diabetes was a sure thing for me, but once again God said different. He just keeps showing up and showing out in my life and I love it! Have faith, God will do a work in you too!

Dyna, so glad your appt went well and you got to see the sac! How exciting! How are you feeling?
 
Ladies I have a shout in my soul this morning. I have to admit, I was feeling a little sad before coming to this thread this morning. My hubbs is kind of dealing with a situation at his job and I feel like he is being unfairly targeted and they trying to get him out on the sly. It was beginning to stress me out to be honest, and right now all I can think is in less than 2 months I'll have a son to think about and we can't afford to lose that income.

BUT GOD....

But then I got to thinking that we have a decent amount of money in our savings that will carry us for a while. Then my hubbs told me about the part time job he has kept basically for the past three years simply cause he likes it and he'll pick up hours whenever he pleases and yes, he can pick up a full 40 hour week. Then I looked back at my life and all the times I thought "what next..." and the next thing was God showing up and pulling everything together. BUT GOD... BUT GOD... BUT GOD...

My God is awesome and He can, does and will work miracles in any and all areas of my life. My grandmother always tells me "the bible says it's a sin to worry.... it's ok to be concerned, but we're not supposed to worry about anything, not even our children...God can take care of them better than you and I can".

After coming here and seeing everyone's posts and being reminded of all that God has done in my life my soul can't help but shout! I don't know how things will work out with my husband's job, but I do know that God will work it out. And however He does is fine with me. Every door that's ever been closed in my life has always been followed by an even better door opening! So if this door must be closed then so be it, for I know the next to be opened will be even better than the last.

Thank you Lord for reminding me of who You are and that Your capabilities have no limit. And thank you for peace in the midst of the storm...a peace that only you can provide. Have Your way Lord!

Woohoo!!! Thank you Lord for taking care of us and all of our needs.

When I was going through the IVF journey, I would hear that still small voice constantly saying, "Do you trust me?"...and I would reply, "Yes, Lord... I trust you!". That was the main theme of my journey.

Never in my past circumstances has He let me down and I knew He wasn't going to fail me now.

No we aren't far off! <3 Hopefully the FertilAid helps your DH! :) I have had 2 miscarriages and not sure if I have insulin resistance (they didn't test that), but they put me on it just as a precaution :) I'm glad they did because I've read it lowers risk of Miscarriage and since I've had 2 I can use all the help I can get! <3

Thanks so much Sarah! <3 :hugs: I know God is looking out for our Angels :) In a way I am envious of them because the first face they ever saw was JESUS' face! <3 How blessed are they? :)

and God is most definitely BIGGER than any obstacle we face! MUCH bigger! <3 Praise God that HE is in control and can do ALL things!

That is SO encouraging! Thanks so much! :) I know that God is at work! And I'm so excited to see where He's taking us! <3
 
We had a little blessing from God this morning! Of course we are going through infertility testing/treatment right now, which has racked up a bit of a bill because we have a $5,000 deductible before any of it can be covered by insurance. So any extra money is going toward that at the moment. Well, today we got a $112 check in the mail from our mortgage lender, a refund of interest paid out last year. Totally unexpected! God is GREAT! <3 He has always provided when we have needed it, and has never let us down! <3 Praise God that We are HIS children and He will take care of us even more than the birds of the air and flowers and grass of the fields!
 
I've started going to morning bible studies again & there is nothing like starting your day off with knowing God's got it all planned out worked out & we don't have to worry about any of it :D Have a blessed day ladies
