Welcome Nikki!

I'm loving all the newbies

I'm sorry about AF, she never gets my memo either. Have you had any testing done yet to see if there is anything that is keeping you from getting pregnant?

Yes, all in His perfect timing.

I made an appointment with gynie for the 21 December. Hopefully everything wil turn up to be fine. I've had some troubles with my cycle and the doctor put me on the 'pill' for about three months to get the clock working correctly again. It is my second month off of the "pill"

PS: Please bare with my English spelling. My home language is Afrikaans and I am trying my very best English...

 

[Mattsgirl]

Sarah I am so happy for you. I will be praying extra hard for you in the months to come.
Nikki that year mark is a really tough one but with lots of prayer you get through. Praying you get some answers soon.
Still praying for everyone else too!

Oh, ok. We will definitely be in prayer for you that everything will be just fine

Your English is great!

 

[pvsmith12]

Wow! Congrats Mattsgirl & wristwatch on your !!! That is so exciting!

Nikki - Hopefully everything comes back good from your appointment, and your English is great, don't worry about it!

afm - CD 8 right now... and AF is still sticking around. She is usually completely gone by CD 7, but she was completely backwards and wonky this cycle. This is cycle #7 on Clomid (#1 on 150mg) as well as the first cycle I was on met WHILE taking Clomid, so I am hoping and praying that this is the one!

Fx'd for all of us ladies here!!

He was reading through it and called me over, I looked at the booklet and it said, “Expanded Benefits! We’re refining our infertility benefits. In 2013…we are covering up to 3 cycles of IVF treatment.” I started to cry. My hubby told me he would call his benefits coordinator to find out the details. I got home from work and he was already talking to the coordinator and had the phone on speaker so I could hear what she was saying. I heard with my own ears that they cover 90% for 3 cycles of IVF, again I started to cry. Everyone would ask if I would do IVF and I would always tell them, “Yup, when I win the lottery”…I got something just as good, I’m blessed with the opportunity to do this and very grateful.

That is amazing news!!! It would be such a relief to have it as a covered benefit, God does work in amazing ways!

 

[Dynamicmae]

Hello my loves! It has been awhile again and I feel like I am always saying that. Just wanted to check in after having some infertility testing done. After feeling like there was something wrong with me since I have been unable to get pregnant, but....turns out that it is hubby After his SA we were pretty much told that our only shot is IVF. I am devastated.....just all the stress of this fertility stuff on top of how much IVF will cost and I have no idea what to do, what to think, and where to start. Hubby has shut down and is not taking it well.....has anybody here had any success with naturally pregnancy after being told it wouldn't happen

First off - really sorry to hear about your troubles, it's heart-breaking when you get that kind of news.

DH had a low count when he had a SA done, I have PCOS and don't Ov. The dr told me there was "no sense fixing me" since HE was the problem. I cried soooo hard, and he took it pretty rough. My advice is to research it online - there is plenty that can be done to increase count/motility naturally. DH now is on a multi-vitamin and a Zinc tablet (when he remembers to take them) all of which helps with count. I have also heard good things about maca root (I do believe that is what it's called). Don't lose faith, and just remember - Dr's don't know EVERYTHING... they know more than we do, but my Dr didn't know much about supplements that could help... but good ol' research did. She told me that there was NOTHING we could do to raise the count, then I found numerous studies that had been done. Also, just to be on the safe side - we did take him to his family dr to get tested and to see about getting him sent to a Urologist. Take the necessary steps in the medical world, but do what you can too.

Virgin Mary gave birth to a healthy baby womb.... What more of a miracle can God do for us??? Keep the faith ladies! God has the final say!!

[HisGrace]

Congratulations Mattsgirl and Wristwatch! God is so amazing.

Sarah - I am so happy for you. I have been praying for you. This opportunity sounds wonderful. Just another thing to add to our testimony. Still praying you get your bfp before needing ivf but ivf could also be the way He chooses to bless you. Either way I know that God is at work in your life.

 

[Heather11]

Ok, since there is so much good news going on today, I also have some news that I’ve been anticipating sharing with you….of course not the news that I would love to share with you, but good news.

The week of Thanksgiving I was cleaning the kitchen and going through the mail that was left on our kitchen island. I noticed a health benefits package from my husband’s workplace and handed it to him. Usually I would just toss it, since we go through my company for health insurance.

He was reading through it and called me over, I looked at the booklet and it said, “Expanded Benefits! We’re refining our infertility benefits. In 2013…we are covering up to 3 cycles of IVF treatment.” I started to cry. My hubby told me he would call his benefits coordinator to find out the details. I got home from work and he was already talking to the coordinator and had the phone on speaker so I could hear what she was saying. I heard with my own ears that they cover 90% for 3 cycles of IVF, again I started to cry. Everyone would ask if I would do IVF and I would always tell them, “Yup, when I win the lottery”…I got something just as good, I’m blessed with the opportunity to do this and very grateful.

His benefits won’t start up until Jan 1st, so I’m trying to get all the “new patient” paperwork filled out and need to get my medical records from my old physician. Oh yeah…and something else that’s pretty crazy…days after we got the benefit package I got a letter in the mail from my current Fertility Specialist saying he is now retiring…isn’t that something??? God’s timing is perfect

To be honest, I’m excited…anxious…nervous..and a bit scared. I’m excited because I know this is the best option for us and scared because what if it doesn’t work. I know that is my flesh talking and not my faith. My faith says that God has a good plan for me and all things work together for good because I love him and am called according to His purpose.

I can’t wait to share my journey with you and thank you in advance for all the prayer I’m going to need…lol!

YAY!!!!! That is so exciting!!!! Congrats!!! Maybe we can be IVF buddies!!! I am so happy for you! With all of your faith, support, and positive energy I can't think of a better person for this to happen to!!!

 

[BRK06]

Wow!!! Praise The Lord!! Thank you Father for blessing our sisters with their much anticipated miracles! Please watch over them and let the little ones grow big and strong!
Amen!
Congrats ladies! Mattsgirl, how exciting for both you and your little sis to be doing this at the same time!! See? God had a plan all along!

BabyWillow and Nikki- Welcome! I'm Kim and I'm glad you've joined us! It's exciting to see all our new sisters! I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better I pray you find as much encouragement here as I have!

Sarah, I'm super excited to see the coming months for you! Our God is an awesome God and He is moving in your life in a big way. Lifting you in prayer everyday

AFM, I'm CD 4 and doing my best to give AF a run for it. Looks like we are going to try at least one more month of Clomid (100mg). We will see how it goes... Pray for me ladies! I don't want to turn into the Hulk again this month! (crazy mood swings with this stuff! )

Ultimately, it's all up to God All these medical advances are great, but without Him they are pointless!

 

[Shellvz]

Congratulations to Wristwatch and Mattsgirl

So exciting for you both

Wishing Sarah and Heather all the best with IVF

Welcome to the new ladies

Hubby has shut down and is not taking it well.....has anybody here had any success with naturally pregnancy after being told it wouldn't happen

I'm really sorry Sweetie That is horrible to hear. I will be praying for you and the hubby too... Guys just don't do well with hearing something is wrong with all "that" (been there with the t-shirt!). However, our God doesn't take any Dr's word as Gospel... It's amazing to know that He isn't bound by human limitations! Don't give up hope!
That being said, was it only one SA that was done? Sometimes they can be affected by sickness or an infection. (At least that is what they told us... My hubby's first SA was horrible! He had been sick though and needed antibiotics) Maybe he can go get checked by an urologist and in the meantime be taking vitamins with plenty of zinc and keeping "the boys" as cool as possible (along with like, 50 other things, but those two to start!)

Hang in there Hun... I know this felt like a big slap in the face, but babies are born all the time to people who "will never conceive." Trust God. He's building your amazing testimony now too

Thank you sis! It's a total blessing because we had stopped all fertility treatments since they said IVF would be our last hope, and we couldn't afford to pay 10-20 thousand dollars for this procedure. July was our last IUI and I'm just really believing that this all didn't happen by chance.

You never know, I may get double for my trouble ....
