[mrskcbrown]

Hey hope everyone is well. Just enjoying the summer. Had a great 4th, shooting fireworks with the family. Today probably some shopping at the mall but I think I need a nap first. DH left for home today and I wont see him until July 16. I cried a bit last night but Im fine today. I do miss him though. He says it will be good for us, to have a little space. He says I have him forever anyway so to enjoy my family.

Welcome back Cheerios.

I can only imagine how you feel Nevertogether. My Dh is only gone 2 weeks but yours is longer than me. Im praying for your strength. I know it must be very hard but maybe this week was the week. Praying for a BFP too!

You can do it. :hugs I've got a friend at church who's 4 1/2 months pregnant with her hubby deployed and he just got extended. I have the utmost respect for you girls for being able to make it how you are.

 

[nevertogether]

they were talking about asking my husband to extend 9 months after his 9 month deployment. i shot that down really quick cornbread! especially, if we conceived this cycle, i will be due pretty close to when he gets back. thank you for the support ladies, i really appreciate it. i have to pray so hard to be strong.

someday - So excited to see if you're on the blue or pink team? Any guesses from people who have seen you yet? Some people seem to be able to tell!

yay, cheerios is here!

I am so excited to find out too! No one has really given any speculation yet...my mom realllly wants a granddaughter so she hasn't talked about it as being anything other than a girl. She would love a boy just the same but she already has 2 grandsons and so she wants a girl. Glad to see you again.

nevertogether, I can't imagine how hard it must be to be away from your husband all the time...even besides the TTC stuff. Praying for strength for you.

Hi,
I'm new to this. I never knew so many ladies could desire the same thing. We had been trying for over 3 years when we were blessed with our first BFP. Unfortunately she was born in Jan 2010 at 23 weeks and didn't survive. We are trying again and our faith is all we have. To everyone out there keep believing.

 

[somedaymama]

sunshine2, welcome! I'm so sorry to hear about your trouble getting pregnant and your loss.

 

[willbamom1day]

Cheerios glad to see you back in here - we miss you when you are gone

mrskc may the Lord give you strength

never praying for you and your hubby - God has you both in the palm of his hand

Welcome sunshine glad you joined us. Sorry to hear of your loss stand strong and stay in faith and God will pour out a blessing you won't have room to receive.

Hey girls

Can I share something? I just found out today that OH has low sperm count too. I don't know about motility yet. It came as a shock, but I think somewhere deep down inside, I kinna knew something was "wrong" on his part too.

Its only 8 million. That's really low right? Of the last 5 cycles that I had, I'm very sure I ovulated 3 times at least, cos I had all the ovary twinges, sore boobs everything! And I only started spotted these symptoms after starting on Metformin.... so I'm sure Metformin IS helping me to ovulate.... I don't track my temperatures though. But once my AF comes, all the sore boobs, ovarian pain stops... so I'm quite sure it WAS ovulation.

And I thought, we did BD at least 2 - 3 times a week which should be enough to cover our ground, but still nothing happened.

Anyway, we got another blood test for OH tomorrow.... I hope it will shed more light! Our FS appt is in abt 2 weeks. I was hoping to start Clomid for the next cycle but think I might have to wait it out until OH's SA count goes up to "normal"....Think I got to give up all hope of getting PG in summer- since it takes 3 mths for sperm to be produced, doesn't it?

Anybody here with similar background???? I feel quite lost suddenly.

Someday - Thanks for the well wishes! Your granny is really funny.... thinking and wanting the baby to be a girl. I think both ways, it will be awesome to be a parent!

willbe - Happy Birthday! So amazing! By your next birthday, you will be a Mom!

 

[Terangela]

Willb- Happy birthday it is my birthday too. My dh is making breakfast for me right now and I have a busy day ahead. I think it is neat when I share my birthday with others!

Gotta run!

MiBebe- praying that you are finding peace and rest in the Lord If you need anything feel free to PM me as I am very aware of how tough a loss really is. Satan is trying to bring us down, but the Lord will bring goodness from this hardship, I have witnessed that in my own life...

Cheerios- so glad you're back! that's wonderful that you were able to get your appointments so soon! Praying that your mans test come back normal. I can't give any advice for you on this, sorry. Not sure what a normal sperm count is. I think ihave heard and read that 50% is "normal" not sure what that translates into as far as numbers go (i.e., 8,000) but good news is that it only takes one so I say that you're def not out on that account have you ever considered temping? It has been super helpful for us. And it would help you better know when to to get the most out of Your mans .

Mrskcbrown- so glad you enjoyed your 4th of July! We watched the fire works as well and it was good as usual hard to think at this time next yr our LOs will be joining us!

Nevertogether- praying you caught the eggy! Remember, the Lord finds favor in His children you are so strong and I know you will be blessed immensely for your faith and patience.

Someday- cant wait to find out if your on team or team ! my mother was the same way. All four of my siblings (plus 2 of my cousins) had boys first. So she was def rooting for a girl with me...in fact everyone was convinced (but me and the dh) that I was having a girl. Tbh, she was slightly disappointed when I told her we were having a boy, which was sad for me, but think she is over it now. The ironic thing is that my siblings who have had a second child, all had a girl as their next...even my 2 cousins! So crazy! A happy and healthy baby is all we want

Sunshine2- welcome to F.A.I.T.H! :wave: I know you will find these girls amazing! I am sorry to hear of the passing of your sweet baby find strength in the Lord. Praying you get a very soon. Praying for your healing as well. So glad you could join us all in our walks with the Lord

WillB- sounds like your birthday was a blast! Hope you enjoyed your 4th of July as well! Happy Birthday!

Isi, Rdy, Dahlia, Cornbread, Darkest- :wave: hope you all enjoyed a great 4th of July and are staying cool! Sure was burning hot here in New Hampshire!


Terangela- Happy Birthday! I may have already told you that can't remember though lol breakfast in bed sounds like a delight! Hope you are enjoying your day!

AFM- the dh and I enjoyed some fireworks at a Christian event in our community on Saturday. Was awesome! Had some great Christian bands as well. On Sunday morning we went to church and listened to a message on Porn. It was the closure of a series that pastor wanted to do on porn,sex, and adultery. He was so upfront about it but it IS a problem in the church so I'm glad it was addressed. He even wanted the teens to listen bc Satan really has a hold on the youth of this world! It was great. Did you know that 48% of Christian families struggle with pornography is some capacity? WOW! I knew it was high but that statistic is eye opening! and it's prolly even higher as I'm sure some families don't even realize it's going on or they don't admit to it. The porn industry makes more money in a yr than almost ALL major sports athletes make combined! The XXXChurch is great for those struggling with it. I would highly recommend it! Pastor made an excellent comment about how the world pushes us to the edge wit sex and then once you go over the edge they point fingers and have nothing to do with you like in the case of Tiger Woods. Anyways, off my soap box...
Went to e beach after church on Sunday with another couple. That was fun! Then yesterday we did the same...I am officially turning into a lobster! that SPF didn't accomplish much of anything! needless to say I am incredibly sore! I hurt, honestly I would go naked right now if I could!

Need a huge prayer for friends of ours. I just found out yesterday that one of the couples from our church whom we went to the beach with, has been TTC for over 4 yrs. I know how deeply she wants this baby and sometimes I feel guilty for being pregnant she has already been to one specialist but had to switch to another. She and her dh will be having their first appt. With this new specialist this week. She said she already has nursery completed,just needs the baby. I want this for her so deeply. She is such an amazing women of God, as is her DH. Ladies whi have been TTC for a exile, any advice to offer? All I could say was that "the Lord will give you your sweet baby soon" but I'm sure that isn't enough and really idk if she thinks it means much of anything coming from me...someone who is about to give birth in a mnth. I just really want this for her and I wanttobe a good friend,but what does one say and do in this situation? I'm praying for her and being in agreement with her please pray for her as well.
