Christian ladies TTC, we can encourage one another.

How is everyone feeling as 2014 is coming to a close? Any prayer requests from those that read this and don't post? God waits expectantly for us to seek Him and call upon His name. Without our desires known to Him, how can he have authorisation to act on our behalf? We must speak boldly and have faith that He will come through for us, and speak to us in a way only He knows how.

Hi Faitful! CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PREGNANCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry this is quite late!!!
How are you? And - what would you like prayer for?

Prayer for wisdom for my husband and I as we work on filling out Expression of Interest Adoption papers and for children for us. Thank you.
We don't know why He has us on this journey - but we know Who He is. He is good no matter what.

Hi ladies.

Hope everyone has a great year filled with God's love, peace and joy xxxxxxxxx.

I am going to take some time off from ttc. I have to be realistic, nothing's working and we will probably never have kids. I need to continue making peace with that and focus on the other aspects of my life. But I will pop in from time to time to see how everyone is doing.

Best wishes ladies xxx

Hi ladies, can I be a part of this? DH and I are ntnp for a few months now and I know I try to control and obsess over pregnancy instead of resting in God's perfect plan for us. This group seems wonderful.

 

[No Doubt]

Hi June! Welcome!

 

[Fern81]

Talking about God's perfect plan.... even though we planned on taking a break (and happy to do so!), it seems like I did O on 2 Jan so am now in the tww.... while on a break lol. We can plan all we want but He knows better! Still taking a break after this cycle. Just taking things easy, enjoying life and working hard at our jobs for a while.

Hi Littlejune! I understand the control and obsess thing - you are welcome to chat to me about it any time . Hope you can find your acceptance and peace for whatever our Lord has planned for you x

How is everyone else?

 

[littlejune]

Thanks for the warm welcome ladies!

Fern, I hope this sense of peace stays with you. My dh have only been ntnp for a few months and I find myself trying to stay sane so I admire your attitude in this time.

I am at a strange crossroads I'm sure most women have been at where I very much want a child but there are certain sacrifices I am not willing to give up. For example, I love my job and fully believe God called me to this position but I work with children that have very severe autism and they can be violent so staying there with a pregnancy would be un-wise.

I am currently 19dpo with one bfn. I am struggling to just trust God right now no matter the outcome.

 

[Fern81]

LittleJune - I saw on another thread that you got your bfp!!! Congratulations! Be assured that God loves you and only has the best possible plans for you. SO if that includes giving up your job for a little while, I know He will help you to do it with grace and love toward the autistic kiddies.

How is everyone else? It's very nice to feel a bit more relaxed re ttc. 10dpo but I will just wait the week out to see what happens, and then on to a more proper break!

May you all experience God in a special way this week x

Congrats again LJ!!! Hi Fern! Glad your feeling better! Afm- Went to TCTC in Gatlinburg with our Youth this past weekend! Whew am I tired! BUT we got to see God's Spirit move, as hundreds of Teens were Saved!!!! What a Blessing!!! Hope everyone is well! I'm still trudging along, waiting on IVF, but did drop 6 pounds this last week!!! SO I'm optimistic God Bless ladies!

 

[Fern81]

Cupcakestoy - wow that is a wonderful way to start the year! Both the large (teens being saved) and personal (6 pounds!!!) victories. Great that you are feeling so positive! xx

 

[cupcakestoy]

Thanks Fern! I'm really glad I went! Needed the spiritual boost for sure!

 

[littlejune]

Thanks so much for the well-wishing Cupcake and Fern! I've been meaning to get on here and ask for prayer and wisdom regarding my new found pregnancy! It will be easy to obsess over every little thing and WORRY. God is good and I know he has me and this little baby in his hands. My Mom miscarried three times- at 15, 8 and 9 weeks so please pray that I don't let that fear damper my joy and not to assume I will miscarry as well.

Be blessed ladies, and let me know how I can pray.

 

[No Doubt]

Congrats LJ!

 

[ProfWife]

Congratulations!!

 

[littlejune]

Thanks ladies- I am very excited! I have my first doc appointment tomorrow- I'm not sure what to expect, I hope it goes well!

 

[sportysgirl]

Hey ladies, I hope you are all well.


I am asking for some prayers.
Baby finally cooperated for the scan on Thursday so we could have the measurement done. Heart beating, baby measuring correct for our dates but NT measurement higher than they would like. Got blood test results yesterday and we are in a high category so we have to go to the hospital on Monday to see the screening team and maybe have some more tests.

I have been so upset this is not the news we expected. After the miscarriages I thought we had been through enough.
Am feeling better today and being positive, just got to wait and see what Monday brings.

 

[No Doubt]

Praying for you all sporty. A high category doesn't necessarily mean anything.

 

[Beanonorder]

So sorry for your news sporty. Will pray that all is healthy x

 

[cupcakestoy]

Prayers for LJ & Sporty!

Hi Ladies,

I am new to this site and just wanted to ask for prayers for my husband and me. This May will mark four years of TTC with zero BFPs. I pray every day for wisdom and direction for us on this journey. I'm wanting to stay as natural as possible with TTC. I'm working on my diet (have transitioned to paleo + now doing an elimination diet for food allergies), doing acupuncture, taking maca and other carefully selected supplements, working on stress reduction, etc. Natural TTC may be a long, slow journey, but I feel it's what God has called me to do, personally. I have an appointment with an OB at the end of the month to hopefully have some imaging done. All my blood tests and my DH's SA have been normal. Through my TTC experience I've encountered this verse many times and feel it's God's command/comfort to me . . . "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:6-7
