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

[Rdy2BaMom]

mrskc and dahlia This is my official 12th month TTC. . we are all so close!

beanni- congrats on the BFP girl!! I am so happy for you! Praying it is healthy and sticky

Guppy- So very glad to hear that your baby is in excellent condition! Our healer is good!

Glad to see that everyone is doing so well and lots of good new on the thread. A little update on DH and me. . . he did the SA re-test and his numbers came back MUCH higher, but still below normal. He has an appointment scheduled with an urologist next month if I don't get my BFP before then. Hopefully there is something they can do to help him. We have decided that if I am not preggo by July, we will do IUI.

Blessings on all of you!!

Rdy2, I'm glad to hear that the tests came back better! I hope you get your BFP soon!

Don't give up, ladies. I know you've all been trying a long time, and it sometimes feels like you can't go on anymore. It took 17 full months for me to get pregnant with this baby, and I know how hard it is. Trust in Jesus! He is the only one who has ultimate control over our bodies.

Thanks for your concern and support! Yes its very hard. I definitely trust Jesus and trying to hold onto this little bit of faith thats left. The hardest part for me is all this temping and testing only to end up every month with a period. It kinda makes you feel like you are wasting your time, you know?

Anyway, everyone have a good day and again CONGRATS on the BFPs.

Oh I do know, all too well.

I was wondering about Aaisirie as well. I hope she is okay.

YA HOO! I go away for a wee break and come back to BFP's!

YAAAAY! Someday! Sooooo... crazy happy for you. Joy, Joy and more Joy. Ohhhh I am praying for you sweetness.

YAAAAY! Beanni! Fantastic JOYFUL news from you too You are also in my prayers. Congratulations to you both!

Ready - glad to hear you have a really positive pro-active plan in place. I know how good it feels to be doing something.

Guppy, lovely pregnant you! How are you and Is-y boy bump?

mrskc - don't worry gorgeous, our turn is coming REAL soon, I can feel it. The power of prayer here is mighty and there's plenty of BFP's left for us!

News from me: DH is coming home in about 9 days It's been really good for me to have a month of TTC off (albeit not by choice) My desperation can get out of control sometimes and the break has been really healthy for me. BUT... back on it next cycle I have a really positive PMA and feel like I'm really close to getting a BFP again. I saw my Dr. today and got a referral to a fertility specialist to talk about taking it up a notch (possibly using clomiphene for a cycle) and getting progesterone pessaries to have real handy - to use as soon as get BFP to prevent another loss (whether I need them or not, they don't hurt so...) Also seeing a super lovely and clever CMP and using herbs and acupuncture. so... ya along with prayer and plenty of BD'ing I feel really good about these appointments.

lotsa love - gotta go, I'm on step-mum duty (2 week school break here) and she keeps me really busy when her Dad's not here!

xoxo baby dust

Hi all - hope everyone's doing ok.

Phoned up to get the results of my swabs today - they came back 'test needs repeating' so I booked to have them done on Monday - they squeezed me in so that I stand a chance of getting the results back for FS appt on Thurs

Then I get a phonecall from the practice manager - the receptionist had assumed that they just needed re-doing - but apparently it's something to do with them using a different type of swab than the hospital that's testing them and they are not compatible. So I can't get them re-done there on Monday - have to wait til our appt on Thursday - turn up without the results and get them to do them there - hopefully with a little more patience than last time!

They're going to have to get used to the fact that I need a little extra time and care with these things ... especially if I'm going to have to have other tests too?

It feels like the professionals who are supposed to be helping don't know what they are doing! What hope is there? Not even sure who's to blame for this one - not that it matters.

Feel like it's 1 step forward and 2 steps back right now.

Feeling so low plus hubby has just gone away until Sunday morning and I'm not used to him being away - I hate it - the place I'm at with my depression right now means I spend the whole time obsessively worrying about something bad happening - I know it's irrational but that doesn't help much


Guess you'll see a fair bit of me here between now and then if anyone's around?

I hope that you feel better soon. I hate when they are not good at what they do. It makes you feel so mad and angry. Im praying that this is the last time for you and that they get everything right. I definitely feel your pain and know your pain. Blessings and Im praying for you and that the depression is defeated in Jesus' name!

Me too Mrskc. . .

I updated the front page for you all. . . if I missed any other BFP's, please let me know. I know I wasn't really around much for a while.

My week has been an emotional one! Wednesday, while I was at choir at church, I just couldn't hold back the tears, and I had no idea why. When I left, I called my mom and asked her to meet me at my grandmothers house. I just began sobbing uncontrollably! I realized that I was just so sad and longing for a child with all of my heart, soul, and spirit that I had "sighs too deep for words" (as the bible calls them). I know I will be blessed with a child someday, but after a year of waiting, I was almost defeated. As I cried my grandmother started praying over me and she began to cry too, then my mom. It was such a precious time for the 3 of us! Needless to say, I left feeling fully rejuvenated. My spirit is at peace once again, and my hope has been restored. I am so blessed with such an awesome heritage and I can only hope and pray that I pass it on to my children too.

Hope you all have a very blessed weekend!!

 

[groovygrl]

I was so moved by your post ready2b

I also have been blessed as I have Christian parents and grandparents and cousins and aunts and uncles and lots of fantastic friends. All this and I have never had so powerful a moment as you were blessed to have. I mean we have all prayed together - man, Grace said before meals would go on for days when my grandparents were still alive. We prayed in church, we prayed together before bed when we were little. But never have we joined together in prayer like that. Ready, yes you do have a powerful and beautiful family and someday soon you'll teach a wee someone how to pray. Praise God from whom all blessings flow baby!

Glad you're feeling lighter

 

[Deb111]

Rdy - I think that is a wonderful expression "sighs too deep for words". I think many of us have had moments of desperation like you and I am so glad that you had such wonderful support when you needed it. I hope you are feeling strengthened and renewed xx

 

[beanni #1]

Rdy that is an amazing testimony. You really are blessed to have such a family.

Rdy2bamom: I too have that same type of hertiage. We are four generations, me, my mom, my granny and my daughter. So it is so awesome to have that in your life. Sometimes I get like you where I just have to cry and then it feels better for a little while. It is so heart wrenching when you want a baby as badly as we do. Its almost like you know that you have to be patient and your turn is coming but its like if you hear that one more time, you might just scream! Im so glad that you feel better and I pray that your faith has been renewed. You are an awesome woman of God! Blessings.

 

[somedaymama]

Yay for the front page update! I still can't believe I'm on it. If the front page is right and not missing any, we didn't have any BFPs for 3 months! No wonder it felt so long.

Sorry about your testing, Deb.

Rdy2, I'm so glad that your grandma and mom could pray with you and help you feel comforted. Sharing faith with family and having them encourage you is the best! My family are all Christians but they tend to be kind of legalistic sometimes, more interested in interpreting things exactly right and following things exactly right than in having a real relationship with God. They've gotten better in recent years, but it's still not really like what you described. I think what you have is awesome!

Hey groovygrl! I'm glad you have a plan in place with the progesterone etc so you are prepared for your BFP that is coming soon! Do they have any idea what caused your last loss? In any case, the progesterone can't hurt, and it will certainly help if that was the problem!
