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

[mrskcbrown]

Guys, all this time I have thought I was out. I for some reason decided to take a test tonight and I think I have a positive. I waited 5 mins to look at it. I don't know if I completly trust it or not. I'm going to take a FRER in the morning. I'm 13dpo now.

Here are pis I posted in another thread.

It looks positive to me. What were your symptoms??? Congrats!

mrskcbrown, I have NO symptoms. Well I did fall asleep in the middle of the day yester day because I was exausted. Other than that nothing. Not that I'm noticing.

I took another test this morning, a FRER. BFP again!

how long have you been ttc'ing and how did you meet your dh?

i never answered this either, im not currently TTC as im 30w4d pregnant with our second son, but i loved this thread so i thought id join.

i met my hubby in high school, he was my high school sweetheart, we married when our son was ten days old.

Someday - that's a cute way to meet - you could be a Subway commercial - not only can you get a good healthy fast food meal, but you can meet your dream lover over it.

Hey - since you've been TTCing for 13 months, I am sure you have figured out the temping stuff by now - but I just thought I would throw it out there for you in case. Worth a try...ok - here it is: I JUST realized that my annovulatory cycles were not that at all - I was using a bbt digital thermometer and taking it out when it beeped...and then recording that temp. Well, I read somewhere that you should leave it in for 5 min or so and you will get a more accurate reading. I started doing that and it was registering .3 degrees higher!!! on average. My charts started making sense - FF started seeing an OV day and I didn't even need them to show me. It was so clear - low, low, low - then bam high, high, high. And I went from thinking I had a thyroid problem (temps in low 96s) to regular mid 97s. Since then I bought a reg therm online (bbt but not digital)...only b/c the battery in my dig was dying from using it 5 minutes per day. I LOVE the reg bbt therm - just feel it is more accurate. and to shake it down, I put it in a sock and twirl the sock rapidly for 30 secs or so. brilliant.

well, even if you already know about all this - maybe it will help someone else who thinks they are not ovulating. I hope this cycle starts looking up for you!!!

willynilly, thank you so much for this information! I have actually only been temping for two cycles (since August, since I average about 42 days). I didn't know a digital would keep reading after beeping. Actually, I've read some lately about the digitals not being quite as accurate, so I'm thinking about getting a regular non-digital basal body thermometer. I had wondered if my thermometer my be contributing to my weird temps, otherwise I have a lower body temperature than I expected! I really appreciate your taking time to explain all this to me.

This is quite possibly my last cycle of trying for awhile because it's my last chance to have a summer baby and I'll be starting grad school in August. It seems like such a cruel joke that I wouldn't have even ovulated. I know God's plan is perfect and best, but I have trouble knowing it, if you know what I mean.

Rachel, that line is looking awesome!!

Congratulations again Rachel!!!!!

I have some good news! (not TTC related but something the DH and I have been praying about for a long time!) Stephen, my husband, got a call today from Freddie Mac (he interviewed with them in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday). The offered him a full-time position with benefits and bonuses!

All praise to you, Jesus! Not only that, but in order for us pay back our student loans (I owe over $50,000 [thank you Penn State JK])and have enough income to offset the high cost of living in D.C. (while i am a stay-at-home-mama) he would need to make $67,000 (its actually less take home though because of Taxes). He was offered the EXACT amount that we needed in order to live there! $60,000 per year, $2,000 sign on bonus and a $5,000 "relocation" bonus. The EXACT amount of money we decided 3 months ago that we would need in order to live in that area. This is such a God thing! Thank you girls for your prayers! We are still waiting to hear back from Liberty Mutual, but we are VERY thankful that we at least have this offer...especially after going to 4 OTHER 2nd interviews and being turned down...even after being narrowed down from hundreds, to ten!

Praise be to God!

 

[somedaymama]

Guppy, that's awesome! It's amazing how well God answers our prayers. On a side note, did you like Penn State? I thought about going there for grad school, but they don't admit students for master's-only into the econ program, I would have to be planning to go right for a PhD.

 

[Guppy051708]

Its a great school...but the DEBT def. is NOT worth it! If you can get most of your program paid for, i would go for it if I were you!

There are SOO MANY opportunities here! From academia to life experiances, its outragious! The downfall to going here though...is the partying and the drinking. Guess Penn State wasn't voted #1 for drinking this year for nothing though

But really, I dont notice the drinking as much. It really just depends who you hang around. If you do come here though, let me know!!!! Theres an awesome Christian Group that I go to on campus! And there are TONS of Christian groups and great churches here!

I read this and thought "what--what did I miss??" Then I woke up...

I will definitely let you know if I end up at Penn State. I'm not at all a partier (partyer?), so I don't think I would be too affected by it.

 

[im_mi]

steph thats brill news about the job!! how amazing! praise be to God

 

[Willynilly]

Steph - great news on the job!!! He provides!

 

[somedaymama]

After all my whining lately, I just wanted to share with you ladies something that happened today...

I volunteer at a crisis pregnancy center, but I hadn't been there for a couple weeks before today. When I went in today, I wasn't feeling too great and I wasn't sure I was going to be able to keep going there. We got a cradle in, and I almost cried just looking at it.

Well, I had a pregnancy test appointment scheduled, and when the girl came in I tested her and it was positive. She was quite young, just 15, and I expected to feel jealous that she is having a baby and I can't...I've been having lots of yucky emotions like that lately. Instead, God gave me such a wonderful peace about it and we ended up having a nice conversation and she signed up for our prenatal/parenting classes.

I can't really explain how I feel, but I finally feel at peace. I want my baby NOW, but I think I am finally remembering it has to be in God's timing, not mine.

 

[Guppy051708]

Thanks girls!

SomdayMama- I am so glad that you are finding peace in our Lord. How great is our God?!

 

[mrskcbrown]

Can you add me to testing for Dec 14? I am about to be in my fertile phase in 4 days, from 25-about 1st, and Im nervous about it because I really want it to happen this time. I know God is working because DH sometimes has some male issues and we have to use Cialis (E.D) but we havent had to use it for weeks now!! (TMI, I know.) We have been TTC since March, so I said hey its got to be our turn soon.

My strategy this time is to BD every other day from Nov. 25-1st. I want to give his spermies time to rebuild (so to speak) lol. The DR said he had low morphology, but its low not impossible, so Im trusting God that it will happen for ALL of us!!!

Have a good day ladies!
