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

[MommyV]

Hi Everyone,
I've spent the past hour or so skimming all of your post. You seem like such a wonderful Christ centered group of women. I currently have a 4year old son and a 2year old daughter and we are trying for another. I will definately add all of you ladies ttc and already pregnant to my list of people to pray for.
God Bless

Rdy2, I'm so sorry about the bad news. I don't know what to say, but I'll be praying for you.


Welcome MommyV! :wave:

Rdy- Sorry about the bad news. It is tough when you have to face hard things. Remember to turn to God and let him guide. He'll show you the way.

Cornbread- Congratulations!

Congrats Cornbread!

Welcome MummyV

So sorry to hear your news Rdy. I know only too well what its like to be given devastating news. Praying for healing for your hubby and for strength for both of you xx

 

[Darkest]

Well, God answered our prayers.

CONGRATULATIONS!! What wonderful news!!!

 

[Darkest]

Congrats cornbread!

Ladies- I am needing prayers. We went to the FS today, and it was mostly bad news. I am fine, as we already knew, as for my DH, we got a different perspective from this Dr. She informed us that although his sperm count is higher (which is good, almost to 19m and we started at only 3mil.) most of his sperm don't swim forward, which means they can't get anywhere. This was never really brought to our attention earlier, at least not in detail. She told us we can try IUI, but because the sperm don't swim forward, it will more than likely not work. That leaves us with the only other option of IVF, and we just can't afford that. I'm so torn, I have no idea what to do, and I just wanna scream, cry, and give up. Please just pray for healing for my DH for whatever is causing this issue. I know God is big enough and He can heal my husband from his "unexplained" fertility issues. Thanks in advance. . .and I apologize if I'm not on much for a while, my emotions just can't take much more of this. Love you all!

Rdy, so sorry to hear the news. But, you said 'most' of his sperm don't swim forward. As they say, it only takes one to get to that eggy. Sending speedy forward swimming vibes!!

Big hugs. xx

Happy Auntie, so sorry to hear about your little Kitty.
I have lost many animals. Thankfully i have only had to make the PTS decission once and it nearly killed me.

I lost my Guinea Pig Honey on Sunday. She had been batteling a large abcess. I thought she was getting better, but i guess it beat her in the end.

The good thing is DH and i are getting on better. We've been down to (my) in laws for a few days so not been able to get on here.
Got a holiday coming up in a couple of weeks again which i'm looking forward too. Don't class the in law visit as a holiday as we're always to busy seeing all the family so don't actually relax much.
Well, i'm CD8 today. Had a lot of brown blood still even up till yesterday so i'm wondering if this cycle will be a longer one. At least i have my OPK's to use. They were spot on last month so hopefully they'll be as good this month.

MrsKC, glad you enjoyed your holiday. Bloomin scary about the boat tho. I hate boats, any type big or small.

 

[Cornbread]

RDY, I'm so sorry. :hugs

@rdy: Just to shed a different perspective and to give you encouragement, my dr told us that "most" of my DH's sperm were shaped funny, either 2 heads, really big heads, or really small heads. She told us that IUI would most likely not work and that we should try IVF. Well we were against IVF because we knew it was something that we couldnt afford, so we were going to try the IUI route anyway, even with her discouragement. My Dr had us so down. Every month, we kept praying and seeking God, and the one thing I would say in my prayer was, "God I know it only takes one sperm, even if the other 5 million or so were deformed, it only takes one". I held onto that. Of course the month we decided to do IUI and to NOT take the clomid, we got BFP. My DR asked when we came in, "how did you get pregnant?", DH and I looked at one another and just said....."but God".

I said all of this to say, even though the DR may say NO, Jesus can still say YES. Hold onto your faith in these tough times because this is when God does His best work!

Praying for you in this difficult time!

 

[MommyV]

RdytoBaMom- I will keep you in my prayers and just know that nothing is impossible with God. Hopefully soon by God's grace you will be holding a precious little one of your own.

As for me I think that I will be o'ing today or tomorrow. I temp and check cm but ever since we started ttc about 2months ago my cycles have been really messed up. We will try to get some in tonight and maybe tomorrow or the next day. We try not to force it too much even though we want another I still want to make sure that my husband and I are enjoying each other as God intended and not just to create another life.

Hope everyone else is doing well.
Congratulations to all the newly pregnant ladies enjoy the wonderful and amazing experience of new life growing within you.

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Praying for you Rdy. I know God will surely make a way for you.

Congrats Cornbread!

Hope everyone is great. As for me, I'm still enjoying my holiday. Nothing like a bit of retail therapy . I'm also really loving the Southern hospitality . Most of my earlier trips were to NYC, so I'm loving the big warm heartedness of the people here. Lovely not to think about ttc!!!! At least, not for a while. As soon as I get back home, we'll be starting the IVF process I guess. I pray everything works well!

Well Said, I totally agree don't give up, I understand that you need a break to get your thoughts together but stay faithful, it will happen!

Cornbread: Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MommyV: Welcome

 

[Darkest]

OMG, willb, already 10 weeks! Where is all this time going for you all!?
When is your first scan?

 

[Cornbread]

I would be on Cloud 9 but I don't even have the energy to make it to Cloud 1. I think DH is on Cloud 18 though so it all evens out. The tiredness has really hit me the last couple of days. At least I found out in time for DH to understand why I'm just sleeping and not doing anything around the house instead of thining I'm just slacking and being lazy if we didn't know.

 

[rubygirl01]

Good Morning everyone,

Rdy2....i am so sorry that you did not get the greatest news. All he advice you have been given is great. Taking a break is a great idea. I think it really helped me to get 2 months off of thinking about TTC.


Well we went and saw the FS yesterday and talk about overwhelming. I am set to have a HSG done tomorrow little scarred tho, he took me off all my metfm for now. I have to have blood work done early next week that will also include a 3 house glucose test ( ya the yucky one) I am not O'ing at all so he also set me up for an ultrasound as well. I have an appointment with them once a week for the next month it feels like. I also learned that i have now dropped a total of 31 pounds. For the most part it was a lot of information and lots of testing ordered. He said that we will form an action plan once all the testing is done. I am so very happy that my last cycle was last week, that means that we are running about 29 to 31 day cycles and that i am close enough that we can starting the testing asap that way i dont have to wait. Now just to O and i will be even better. Anyways, i hope everyone is doing well, i am glad to see so many preggy ladies as it gives us all hope.

Blessings

Ok i have a question for you guys,( sorry if TMI) and it is not one i would post any other place. When we were at the FS they asked about a sperm sample, BUT here is my issue. How did you handle getting the sample without putting your beliefs on the back shelf. I mean she offered like movies and such, but we are NOT believers in that, she also said we can get a sample while at home and bring it in BUT we live 45 minutes from the FS and they said they have to have it to them within an hour, that is just cutting it really close. What did you guys do, if you dont mind me asking?
