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

[nevertogether]

got me too!!

 

[Cornbread]

jwel, I hear you. Everyone around me is getting pregnant too.

 

[somedaymama]

jwelmel, welcome! So sorry about your trouble getting pregnant. As the other girls said, a lot of us are going or have gone through the same thing. It took us 17 months of trying with verrrry occasional ovulation to get pregnant.

hi cheerios! :wave:

Isi, nevertogether, sorry to hear AF came.

willb, I'm glad the doctor was positive about what could cause the spotting!

Thanks for all your support and prayers ladies - so much appreciated, rest assured that you are all in my prayers too.

I'm pretty confused at the moment - AF is a week late, which is not usual for me and my bbs are incredibly sore. I have lots of CM but still NO sign of AF. I tested this morning with FRER and BFN. I guess that my body is just playing tricks on me - I have been very stressed at work this month. I just want AF to arrive so we can begin again. Is there any chance I could be pg, or am I just getting my hopes up?!

Jewlmel- welcome! the ladies here are very encouraging and helpful so glad rue here!

Lara- you're not out until the ugly shows her face

Willb- sorry you didn't get to hear the HB but I'm glad everything is fine

Nevertogether & Isi- sorry about AF

 

[somedaymama]

LaraJJ, could you have ovulated later than normal? That could make it to early for a test to show accurately. fx'd!

 

[LaraJJ]

Thanks for the support girls, I ran out of opks this month so not exactly sure when I ovulated - so could have been later than normal! I've got a killer headache now, which is usually a sign of AF for me - so expecting it tomorrow now. That is an answer to prayer at least - I asked to God that if I'm not pg then to send AF sooner rather than later!

TTC sure is a rollercoaster!!!

Just wanted to drop off some to you all and let you know you are in my prayers

@Isi/Nevertogether: So sorry to hear about AF! Its all a part of God's process. I believe that He will bless you with babies. Not giving up.

Hope everyone is having a good day. About to go to the movies with daughter, DH and her friend to see Despicable me in 3D. Im finally back home in Mississippi, and happy to be here!

 

[Guppy051708]

Despicable Me was good
Dh and I saw Inception at the IMAX theater last night. I was very good!

Hi!
How is everyone doing?? The weekend is almost over.. . . . so sad. DH and I decided to stay home this morning from church. I have been having lots of lower abdominal pain, kind of like cramps, but kinda not. Not sure what that is all about. I have been extremely constipated since I took clomid so I'm not sure if it is pain from that or if AF is going to show up soon. Well, I hope everyone is doing well, I have enjoyed a nice relaxing weekend. Hope you all have a blessed Sunday!!

 

[LaraJJ]

Hi all,

Well I'm afraid that got me too

But I feel ok about it actually - so thankyou for all your prayers and encouragement. God is SO good! For the last two months, AF has shown up on a Sunday morning right before I go to church - it feels as though God is saying that 'it's not the right time yet but I am here to uphold you'. Awesome!

We were singing a song in church this morning and it really spoke to me. The words are as follows (from what I remember anyway!!):

Here I am oh God, I bring a sacrifice -
My broken heart, I offer you my life
I look to you Lord, your love that never fails -
restores me again.

So I lift my eyes to you Lord,
And by faith I will get through Lord
Touch me now, let your light shine down on me
I know your love dispels all my fears...

Through the storm I will hold on Lord,
And by faith I will be strong Lord
Then I'll see, beyond my Calvary one day -
I will be complete in You

Have a blessed day all

Sorry about AF, but this is awesome!


Rdy2--it is sad that the weekend is already over, and I hope you are feeling better now!

Hiya ladies!

Despicable me was great in 3D. It was so expensive for a family of 4 to go to the movies though! I was really thinking about that. I was like how can I afford to do this??? Often??? We paid 38.50 to get in the show and 23.50 for snacks!! I usually sneak in snacks but I sometimes feel guilty about doing that because the door clearly says, no outside food or snacks. I struggle with small sins, you know the ones we dont count as wrong? I dont wanna get to judgement day and God say, remember you brought those snacks to the movies? Maybe its just me?

I also have been having more nausea lately, and headaches. Praying they subside but Ill take it all if it comes with pregnancy.

Hope all is well!

Here is a pic of my daughter with my BFF's twin girl. I thought she looked so cute!

 

[willbamom1day]

Happy Monday!

Hope everyone is doing well and had a great weekend.

Sorry AF showed for some of you ladies I'm still praying for you all.

Mrskc I love your new pic you look so adorable

rdy2b hope thats a bfp comin and not AF

I really really love you - God

Hi ladies - I just found your group this afternoon - forgive me for not reading all the posts yet (that's a lot of reading!!) but I hope you don't mind if I join you!

I am 36 (37 in six weeks), DH is 36, and we're TTC #1 after 2 miscarriages. We've been married 11 years, and it took us 10 years to decide we wanted kids. We expected it would take us a while due to our age, but we got pregnant literally the very first month ttc. Unfortunately we lost our first baby at 12 weeks. On the very same day the mc was diagnosed (during a routine checkup - I'd had no symptoms that anything at all was wrong), we found out we were being transferred from Texas (hi Rdy!) to Indiana for DH's job. Because of the move, we waited to ttc again until we got a little settled. Once we started ttc we got pg again straight away, and lost baby #2 at 8 weeks. Since then we've been thru all the recurrent miscarriage testing and we are just now starting to ttc again - I'm in the tww now.

And as if all this weren't difficult enough, before my 2nd pregnancy my sister (who is also my best friend) got pg with her 2nd without trying, then I lost my baby and she went on to have a completely normal, healthy pregnancy and had her daughter two weeks ago. Of course I would never wish for her or anyone to go thru what we've been thru, but I'm only human and envy is an ugly feeling....

Since moving to IN we haven't found a church home yet. We now live 2500 miles away from all our family and feel a little lost. We love our new town and our new neighbors and our new drs, but that fellowship of believers is so important and it's really missing in my life right now. DH has had a little crisis of faith with all this - I have to admit, when you're in the depths of grief, it's pretty hard to see God working in your life....

So I'm really pleased and grateful to have found this group. Looking forward to getting to know you all a little better.

 

[somedaymama]

welcome auntie!! :wave:

So sorry to hear about your losses. It's hard to watch other people have babies, even when you are happy for them. Have you or your doctors looked into any reasons for the miscarriages? I hope you have a sticky baby very soon.

Oh, and don't worry about reading the thousands of older posts...that would take forever!

We've actually just wrapped up all the standard recurrent miscarriage tests. Found out I'm heteroygous MTHFR - I have a gene mutation that could put me at higher risk for blood clots, but in reality it's probably not a factor for me because my mutation is heterozygous, meaning only one of my two copies of the gene is mutated. So the good news is there's nothing really wrong with us. Bad news is, there's nothing really wrong with us. But my specialist is fantastic and we have a plan in place for early and often monitoring as soon as I get my next BFP, so all we can do is pray and wait. I just hate feeling so helpless!

As for the reading, I do intend to at least read back a few pages so I can get to know everyone... but 356 pages?? Who has the time for that?!

 

[somedaymama]

So...it could just be really bad luck? It is good that there isn't something obviously keeping you from carrying to term...but at the same time, it is frustrating that you haven't found anything you can fix. For the MTHFR, will they have you take blood thinners or something after you get your BFP?

I don't know what you'll find about me in the last few pages, so I'll just introduce myself. We're practically neighbors! I live in Illinois. My husband and I started trying to get pregnant in October 2008 and finally got a BFP in April this year (17 months of TTC). It was a long road, but we learned a lot about God and each other along the way. We did have one very early miscarriage in there, mostly likely a chemical pregnancy. Our problem conceiving was all me - I had long cycles of 40-50 days and I only was ovulating every other cycle, so we only had a chance about every 3 months. When we finally figured this out, I finally got pregnant! I am due December 12 now, and we are praying hard that everything continues to go as well as it is now. I try not to talk about my pregnancy too much on here because I know it can be hard to hear about other's successes. These girls were an absolutely amazing support to me while I was TTC, and I hope we will be to you also.
