F.A.I.T.H. (Forsaking all, I trust Him)

Aaisrie - Are you ok? I just said a prayer for you.
 
Hello you all! :)
I did pop by this thread before, but I was new to BnB and didn´t know to find the threads where I have written the next time I logged in!

So now that I finally figured AND found this thread, I would like to re-join it! :)

By way of introduction, I´m Priscilla and have been NTNP since June 2009.

After a series of no AFs and numerous doctors / specialists´visits, I have found out that I have an underactive thyroid, PCOS resulting from high LH levels and insulin resistance. That means that right now, I´m on medication for my thyroid and insulin resistance.

Went through a series of lows during this period, but I refused to pray that I would get pregnant immediately, because I really wanted God to choose the right time. I think what I prayed about was that I wouldn´t have any miscarriages and would have a healthy baby.

Still that didn´t stopped me from getting upset from not getting PG or worse still, when my AFs did their disappearing act for 5 months last year.

Today I read that 65% of women with PCOS and high LH levels suffer from miscarriages compared to 12% of "normal" women. And I can´t help but wonder if that´s the reason why I haven´t been pregnant all this time!

Anyway, I have just started on Metformin to help with my insulin resistance so that hopefully my periods would go back to regular and I would (start to) ovulate.

Just hoping to get over the "not-so-nice" side effects of gastrointestinal side effects of Metformin!

How´s everyone? Could you intro. yourself shortly??? Look forward to getting to know you all! God bless everyone of you dears. May we learn to TRUST in His PERFECT timing for each of us!
 
Aaisrie I have said a prayer for you :hugs:

cheerios welcome back to the group! I'm a lil new around here but feel blessed by this group already. I'm 32, hubby is 44 and we have been praying for our first blessing (baby) for 15 months now. May you find a common grounf with your meds and may you soon be blessed.
 
Aaisrie - praying for you and hope you are ok

Hi Cheerios - I'm 36 and hubby is 43. We have been married and TTC for just over 18 months but hubby had undiagnosed underactive thyroid for 12 months TTC but now under control. In the process of getting varioud infertility tests done
 
Mrskc, someday...*HUGS*...thinking about you girls!

Welcome to the newcomers!! Willba, I'm still waiting on AF to arrive and my temp went down today too, so looks like we're in the same boat! :wacko:

As a short intro for those just coming to the thread, I'm 31 (last week!), hubby is 31. We have three beautiful children that came to us without much trying on our part. Our youngest is 3, and we have been trying for nearly two years for a fourth. Not sure what's going on physically, but are totally trusting that God has everything in His good and perfect control! Cheerios, I like what you said about not praying that you would get pregnant immediately...that's how I feel. Every month when AF comes, I thank God that He loves me and that He has perfect timing. And then I thank Him that He has given me the grace to be able to trust Him so! :winkwink:

On the physical side, once I started charting in the fall, I discovered that my luteal phases were very short...did some research...started on B-100 vits, and over the last four months, I have brought my O day forward about 4 days, and lengthened my LP about 4-5 days! :happydance: Last month my LP was 15 days! I will be switching to B-50s to try to maintain my current cycles without altering them any further. Oh, and I'm waiting on my OV watch to arrive in the mail :-= so I'll be trying that next cycle.

Oh yeah, thanks Dahlia for all the tips!! That was very helpful!!! :thumbup::hugs:
 
mrskcbrown, I'm sorry you are going through such a hard time. :hugs: I'm praying for you.

Aaisrie, praying! hope everything is okay!

Welcome back, Cheerios! I missed you!

About me...well, DH and I have been TTC for 16 long months. DH had a semen analysis, and he is in good shape! That's great, but it means that the problems are all me. I have long, irregular cycles, I don't always ovulate, and random months like this one I have an extra-long luteal phase. :shrug: I'm a senior in college, and I'm probably going for my MBA this fall. If you want to know any more, check out my journal! link is in my sig. :D

I had a whole message typed out this morning, but then my computer went crazy and I lost it. AF showed up last night right before bed, so my waiting game is finally over. I don't know what happened with my LP this cycle, but what can I do? DH and I had a really nice talk last night, and we are in a really good place with this. If it happens next cycle, that would be great, but if it takes a few more months or a couple more years, it will be okay. We have time, and we are going to take advantage of our time together while we can. This doesn't mean we'll stop TTC or charting, but we're going to try to find the good in the situation. All things work together for them who love God! As my old pastor used to say...onwards and upwards! Move on, look up to God. :D
 
you're in my prayers Aaisrie. I hope God provides whatever it is you need right now. Please take care of yourself. I hope the angels are close by you tonight too and that they fill your dreams with beautiful light[-o<

wecome and hello to willba and cheerios:flower:

I'm fairly new here too. My name is Donna and I just turned 41, my DH is 39
We have been TTC #1 for almost two years. I got my first BFP at the beg. of Jan. but sadly it ended in MC at the end of Jan. DH has a DD that is 8 and I feel blessed by having her in my life; I love her so much:hugs:and we would really like to give her a sister or brother. We're back to BD'ing, praying and circle-ing days on the calendar now:thumbup:

Thanks to someday and other friends who posted their thoughts on pre-seed!I din't realise this but I think DH and I have a MARGINAL:shrug: shot over the next few days. He leaves on Tues. night and Sunday, Mon. and Tues. are days 8, 9 and 10 in my cycle. I'm sure we nailed it last time between days 9 - 15. So I've got my new mega-box of pre-seed and we're off to :sex: Here we go again!

Someday, sorry about stinky old AF. I'm so happy that you and DH are working hard towards finding a peaceful and joyful place on this path. It's so important to keep each other #1 in this and so easy to lose focus of that. Enjoy each other! xo
 
hi i jusst wanted to introduce myself. i'm a mum of 3 and ttc #4. i am a chirstian and have been for about a year now. I mc on 22 feb:cry: and had a huge crisis of faith wondering why god was punishing me. After a long chat to my minister i have come through with greater faith and believe that i will be blessed soon with another or maybe twins. DH and i have been together 10 years now but had fertility problems after ds. it tooks 6 years to be blessed with dd. I would love to join this group as i am constantly praying for twins as i have have 3 csections already and the 4th will be my last when i finally get there.
 
:flower:Welcome to all the newcomers and rejoiners! We are so glad to have you all in this group FAITH. It is definitely an awesome group.:hugs:

Thanks for your prayers ladies. They definitely were not in vain. I felt every one of them. I am doing somewhat better. Today was such a trying and busy day for me. Im so glad its coming to an end. Me and DH had one of the worse arguments ever since weve met, but God in the end turned that around and I love him even that much more. We are going to seek counseling to diffuse some issues that we are having, but seeking help is a strength and for that I am grateful.:thumbup:

I see all of you all are doing well. Where are you at in your cycles? Hoping to read some BFPs in here very soon! GL!:hugs:
 
Hi ladies,

I am getting ready for church so will most certainly be thinking of you all and commiting our journies to the LORD.

Aaisrie I hope all is well.

Someday sorry to hear about AF, but I really like the way you and DH have dealt with it. Of late I have had a few people offer the advice, stop looking at what you don't yet have and be happy in the here and now. That is my prayer point and goal, to just be happy in the here and now cos if I actually look there is plenty to be happy about :happydance:

MrsKc this can be a very trying time in any relationship and that you and DH are going to seek help is a wonderful thing, it just shows the love you have for your husband and marriage. I pray that the LORD will be with you both and strengthen your relationship.

Hi cheerios :flower: I'm on cycle 7 TTC, my cycles tend to vary slightly but for the most part are 26 days long with a LP of 11-12 days. I tried B-50 complex a couple of months back but I had a really twitchy eye, and I read that is being caused by the vits so I stopped. Last month I tried EPO but didn't get any EWCM, was away for a week at the beginning of this cycle and forgot my EPO :dohh: so haven't used it, but have tried Pre-Seed this time round fx that it works.

Off to finish getting ready for church. Have a blessed day all
 
Thank you all for the welcome :hugs: you guys have a great group here.

mommahawk sorry to hear you are going through the waiting game

I woke this morning and still no AF temp stay the same and a bfn on internet cheapie (3 days late)

Got to get ready for church - be back later

HELLO willbamom1day! I like your name! So positive!

Oh sayuri! Yaaaay you're just about into your second trimester how exciting! you getting a glorious little belly yet?:dance:

welcome aussie:flower: looks like we're neighbours

thanks for the encouragement beanni! I'm inspired by you ladies today. I'm going to make today official DH day. Be grateful for what I actually have. Mrs kc, DH and I will celebrate our 2nd anniversary in 2 weeks and I remember how tough our first year was. We had some doozies (arguements/fights) Really nasty ones! But... It has gotten easier and easier as we learn to live together and really build a solid foundation. And for us the glue was definately Christian values and beliefs.The other sticky part is gratitude! being soooo grateful that we've got each other. He still makes me mental sometimes but... Life is so much better with him by my side.we have found our second year of marraige to be so much better. Good for you re: counselling. It is a strength indeed!:thumbup:

I'm off to church too! it's a beautiful sunny summer day here. going 4 a picnic on the:boat:this aft. and will be thankful for what I have right now (okay might have a sneaky wee:sex: and pray for it to be... well, you all know.:winkwink:) DH and I don't attend church regularly and although I miss certain aspects of traditional church worship I still find intimacy with the Lord and feel and see his presence in powerful ways! Sailing in the Hauraki Gulf (North Island, East coast, New Zealand) on a sublime day with my husband is Church.

Hope everyone's day is one of grace and ease.
 
Deb 111 - HellO! Nice to meet you! I didn´t know that underactive thyroid of males have a negative effect on TTC? Smth new for me! I hope you get your BFP soon now that the thyroid thing is under control!

Somedaymama - Hey! I remember you too! Actually I think I added you as my friend on BnB!.

Sorry yr AF came! Well, I´m hoping that mine comes! Its late and I´m not pregnant. My cycles can get really stretched out! Oh dear, saw tht you had a MC. How long was yr pregnancy?

Wow. You´re still studying eh? That means you must be pretty young! Have you really been charting and all? I´m too lazy to do that! Have you checked out the reason of your irregular cycles? Hmmm, I think I should pop by your journal to check you out! I have a journal too!

groovygrl - Hey! Nice to meet you! Oh, you have a daughter already! So sweet! Sorry about your MC! :( I would say take lots of chinese herbs to build up your immunity, but I think that´s probably a chinese thing. Having said that, I hardly have access to herbs in Germany either, so yeah....hmmm.

aussiette - Sorry to hear about your MC! I can imagine your "crisis of faith"! Oh boy....I´ve been on a rollercoaster of faiths ups and downs....quite irritating too. I´m happy that you have 3 kids though!!!! :) 3 kids are the max. that I would want to have. Oh twins! Do you have a history of twins in your family???

Mrs kcbrown - Great to hear that you feel better. And yes, counselling is awesome! Strongly recommend that. I had that when I was a newly wed and I do wish that we could have that still in Germany. Am in a cross-cultural /cross-country marriage and there are still so many issues even though we´ve been together for 7 years and married for 4 now. May I add, you do loook a lot like this actress, I think she´s Queen Latifah, do you know who she is?

beanie#1 - Hey "Beanie" is what my hubby and i call each other! hahah. Nice to meet you! What´s EPO??? And wow, you really know your cycles SOOO well! My cycles are simply too irregular to "get to know". But I´m hoping that Metformin changes all of that!

PHew, that was long! Ok, I hope I didn´t miss out anybody.....got to go prepare some work for tomorrow! Great to know each one of you!

Shall we start a prayer chain? Sorta like each of us taking turns to pray for one different person each week? Would be nice!
 
:cry: my AF showed in fill force this afternoon

Will just continue to hope and pray and wait for I know my time will come.

I will say a prayer for you all :hugs: God knows your needs and the desires of your heart - may you be blessed
 
cheerios :flower:

thank you! I think a prayer chain is a fantastic idea!

I am really very interested in Chinese medicine. I went to a TCM practitioner and took herbs for a while last year but I stopped because I didn't feel comfortable or confident in him anymore. I was paying a lot of money towards acupuncture sessions and herbs and he never talked to me or told what the different herbs were or what they were for. I don't think he really listened either. he would often ask me the same question twice and he was busy running around the clinic (from room to room) trying to manage his busy practice by himself! So I got to this place where my intuition (and depleted pocketbook) led me to stop going. Do you know much about TCM? I really believe in it's value as an altenative to traditional western medicine.

I moved to New Zealand from Canada 5 years ago. I moved here to see if I could call NZ home and to build a life with my husband. i understand the challenges of being out of your comfort zone and so far away from your family and friends. it must have been hard for you? You had to deal with language and big cultural changes going to Germany. Where are you from originally? I found it quite hard and NZ is quite culturally similar and there wasn't any language challenges.

enjoy your day cheerios! you're in my prayers xo
 
Lots of posts to catch up on! You guys right a lot! I've been in Model Illinois Government this weekend, so it's been pretty busy!

I think you did add me as a friend!

I was only about 5 1/2 weeks along when I miscarried. We've been trying for a total of 16 months. I have been charting since August, it has helped me identify that I don't always ovulate. It seems like it would be a lot of work, but you should give it a try! My irregular cycles are due, at least in part, to the birth control I used before trying to get pregnant. :growlmad:

Have a good day everyone! :hugs:
