Christian ladies TTC, we can encourage one another.

Can I ask for prayers for my marriage. Dh has decided we need a trial separation and I ask that he stays true to his word and actually comes back.

Dear Lord i ask right now that you bring fourth a new foundation in Beanonorder's marriage, that it will be strengthened and lifted up onto you. Bring about reflection and time apart as a time to find their role as husband and wife once again, roles that often get lost as we become fathers and mothers. I ask for both of these spouses to gain a sense of calmness and wisdom as they seek YOU above all, for answers during this time.

Been a rough week.

Lost one aunt (66) suddenly following a seizure on Monday last week. Lost another one (85, other side of the family) following a double fracture to her pelvis on Friday last week. Then I found out that Thursday night of last week a friend of mine suddenly lost her daughter at 34 weeks after an emergency C section.

Had the infant's funeral on Monday this week. Have my older aunt's funeral tomorrow. Missed the younger aunt's funeral.

So, we've had a very emotionally trying time lately.

Cycle-wise...we're still timing and actively TTC. I'm CD12 of cycle 3 post-op. Just got EWCM this afternoon. So, looks like we'll be going for it. OH, and my in-laws will fly in tomorrow. Talk about timing! Oy.

 

[SoBlessedMama]

ProfWife, I'm so sorry for all those losses!! Praying for your family, as well as your friend who lost the daughter. What a heartbreaking week!!

 

[No Doubt]

Rough week pro. Keeping you all in my prayers.

 

[uwa_amanda]

ProfWife--I am praying for you.

My family is still having a rough go of it lately with my dad's passing. My mama is having a really rough time. On the 26th, it's her birthday. On the 27th, it's our Thanksgiving. On the 28th, my parents would have been married for 34 years. It seems like it would be too much for her with all that one right after the other. I know God doesn't give us more than we can handle, but I am really worried about her. Other than praying for my mama, what other words of comfort can I give her? I know she's been really depressed (as well as the rest of us). I know there is nothing I can say really that will make it "better," for a lack of better wording. Advice and prayers are definitely appreciated.

Amanda my grandfather passed a few years ago and my grandmother still gets down a bit every now and again, but one thing she said to me a little while ago was that sometimes she goes in the room and has a good cry. It makes her feel better. Not what we want to hear but it probably helps her. Maybe you could also focus on the good times around these special days. Make her laugh about things that were funny that your dad did or said. She may cry but it will be a beautiful memory to her still. My grandma was a pastor's wife and she always says when it's too much and she has to have that cry she just says ok Lord, need you to handle it cause I can't. I say the same to you. Iknow you're worried about your but God didn't forget about her. He will take care of her.

 

[SoBlessedMama]

Amanda, I'm praying your family can have peace, comfort, and memories of happy times while making new happy memories this holiday season. I can't imagine how difficult it is for you right now. But, like NoDoubt said, God didn't forget your sweet mom, and He didn't forget you, either. The burden probably seems impossibly heavy right now, but as time passes, I pray you can focus on the great times shared with your Dad as the hurt lessens just a bit.

Hi ladies would you mind if I joined? Ttc #1 (ltttc) and am on my 3rd round of clomid. I think we are out this month since we kind of missed bd around o day.... I didn't expect o on cd22.

DH and I are both Christians and are praying about ttc a lot. If it's not meant to be our biggest hope is to just have peace regarding the matter. We are trying to focus on what we have to be grateful for because failing to conceive started consuming us (especially me) and I started to get depressed. Just had to get out of that dark place and back to our joy.

It will be nice to chat to other Christian ladies who believe that God has a perfect plan for our souls even though this life is far from perfect.

Have a good weekend everyone! So awesome that you guys are supporting each other through so many difficult issues. X

Welcome, Fern! : )
There are so many sweet, thoughtful ladies on this thread who will prayerfully support you on your TTC journey.

I think we can all understand the fact that TTC can become all consuming--I love your attitude of getting back to a place of joy. : ) God is going to bless that!

 

[No Doubt]

Welcome Fern!

 

[Fern81]

Thank you ladies happy to be here!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend, those ladies struggling with family issues I'm thinking of you!

I'm 8dpo, trying my best not to symptom spot as I find it just messes with my head! Will probably test next Sunday 15dpo IF my temps stay up and AF is late. For now I have to concentrate on an exam which I'm writing on Wednesday and bloodwork results which I should have by tomorrow; they will tell me whether to go ahead with a lap&dye on Thursday or whether I should move the operation to 4 December.... long story. Praying for answers in that regard!

Happy Sunday all x

 

[sportysgirl]

Welcome Fern, happy Sunday to you too!

I am praising the lord. I got a this week!

We are so excited but nervous too having had four miscarriages.

I continue to pray for you all. xx

 

[SoBlessedMama]

Praying for you, Fern!!

Congrats, Sporty!!!!! Praying you can find peace and are able to enjoy a healthy pregnancy.

 

[No Doubt]

Fern, I hope the answers are what you want to hear and that you will have a bfp instead of the operation.

Congrats sporty! Praying for a h&h pregnancy!
