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

[mrskcbrown]

Willb- My aunt just had a stroke and now will not be able to go home. She has no feeling on her right side and can only barely wiggle her toes on the left. She has no speech ability at all. She is my dad's only living sibling out of 9 siblings. I will be praying for your grandfather.

MrsKC- yup, right behind you at 21 weeks and 3 days. It has been flying by like crazy for me. I have been so busy and keep adding more to my plate. Trying to get tons of little jobs done around the house that I have been putting off since we moved in almost 3 years ago. Finally decorated our DD's room and now to do our DS's room trying to make sure I have everything needed before baby comes and ready. I have to clean out the spare room so my mom has a place to stay when she over nights to watch the kids. Just seems like unending tasks. Then to keep on top of laundry and dishes and all that stuff too. Oi!

It snowed today, wish it wasn't snowing for another month. I told myself when it snowed that it would almost be baby time and it still is so far away.

Wow, Terangela snow?? I cant wait to see snow. Its about 84 degrees here today in Mississippi. We have a long way to go before we see snow, probably like february and then it will be only one inch or so. 21 weeks, !

@willbe: I am praying for you and your family. Hopefully your grandfather will be healed and better very soon!

MrsKC- 84F, I think we maybe had one or two days all summer that came close to that all year. It has been a cold year here so it wasn't shocking to see the snow already. At least it got to about 39F today and so it melted. My DH is up north today for work and it was around 14F with the wind chill and snowing. Brrrr! From now to February we will likely see some temp dips to -31F but mostly sitting around the -2F to 10F range. However we get chinook winds that can warm it up to 50F and once in a while up to 65F or 68F. We have also had days where it has gone from 72F down to about 38F on a spring of fall day. Last year we didn't get a fall. The leaves changed color and then the next day it froze and snowed and all the leaves froze on the trees and eventually blew off during the winter. That lead into a rainy summer. I could handle a good 70-72F constant temperature. Warm but not so hot that I break a sweat.

Thank you all for your prayers My grandfather has started therapy today so I just know that has to be one of God's good workings.

Terangela God is in control of your aunt just like He is of my grandfather and I pray a healing upon ypur aunt with full recovery of speech and movement. God bless you and your family

I hope everyone is being blessed.

Your joy is contagious - God

Trust in the Lord and do good Psalms 37:3

Wow, its so funny! I couldnt imagine. I have been to Canada before though in the summer and I dont remember it being too hot. Well here we are still breaking a sweat, LOL. Its 86F today! I told DH this morning that summer is lasting too long. Im ready for winter. I miss it much more since moving from the midwest to the south. Glad all is well with your pregnancy!

Hello ladies, hope you don't mind me posting. We're TTC but recently found out I'm not ovulating atm so I could really do with some prayers. I don't feel I can ask people at church to pray for me as I work for the church & can't go through my working day with people asking if there's any news - I'd just end up crying all the time!

 

[Terangela]

Twinkle- Prayers coming your way. It is too bad you don't feel you can turn to people at your Church. You might be surprised at how many others have struggled like you. I know when I started talking about it all these other ladies confided in me their struggles with infertility and it was a real support for me. Especially since I knew some of them had 3+ kids. I also don't O at all with out meds. It took a few months of trying different drugs and doses of those to get me to O. I am now expecting baby #3. Be patient. I made the mistake of asking God to give me patience... LOL! Should have known not to ask as I surely received lessons that I learned from. I found too that once people knew we were trying but that I was having to take meds for my ovaries to work that they didn't ask all the time. People are more sensitive when they know there are "problems" then if you are just trying. My SIL just recently apologized after she had 2 m/c for her insensitivity of telling me several times how she just "tried" the once and was PG with her DD. She would go on and on about how easy it was for her. She didn't realize until years later how that must have come across.

MrsKC- My in-laws live in a part of Canada that is warmer. It often gets into the 100's in the summer. We usually go there for a week or so in the summer. Spend time at the beach and relax. But around here it usually only gets into the low 80's as a high. We are only about an hour from the mountains though. So I guess it is a trade off. I am almost hoping for some cooler weather as my winter maternity clothes are so much cuter and more my style than the summer/ lighter stuff I have. LOL!

AFM- I have a cold. Sucks not being able to take anything for it. I would love to crawl up into bed and sleep. Unfortunately my DH is at a conference today after being out of town all weekend and I won't get a break until about 6pm tonight. Feeling really gross. Hope it passes fast.

Welcome twinkle. I will keep you in my prayers x

Hi everyone. I haven't been on recently but I wanted to stop back by and say hello. I hope everyone is doing well and that God is pouring out his abundant blessings in your lives.

 

[cheerios]

Hi dear ladies
SO nice to hear from you all! I've been reading all your posts from my Email account but haven't been posting all the time.

I'm on my last few days of my 2ww, but I honestly don't feel I'm PG this cycle either. Feel exactly the same as the last Clomid cycle that was a BFN. And I'm absolutely confused about whether I even ovulated.... Hubby's 3rd sperms analysis is coming out sometime tomorrow or Thurs, would really ask for your prayers for that. We so do need a miracle for us to get pregnant, cos hubby has very low sperm count, although everything else is "normal" for him.

I've been struggling to keep my faith and hope in God. Some days I'm sooo good and I believe God for everything. Some days like yesterday and today, I wonder if any good thing can possibly happen to me.

SO today, I prayed and asked God to show me ONE good thing that He would do JUST FOR ME, to remind me that He loves me. And guess what?

I went to teach a 1.5-hr financial English course and upon arriving, I was told that nobody had time to come! That's like 6 people who simultaneously didn't have time to come for my class. The great thing is that I would still get paid my 1.5 hrs since it was a last-min cancellation. How cool is that???

I was soooo happy. Cos I was feeling so down, I really didn't want to see anybody, let alone teach and put on a smiley face. So yeah, just one small light of hope in my dark tunnel of TTC.

Twinkle - Welcome! I don't ovulate regularly either, which is why I'm taking Clomid right now.

[Terangela]

Cheerios- I remember feeling like you are now when TTC our first and remember one afternoon being so overwhelmed by it all and falling to my knees and crying out to God. I knew I wanted children badly and questioned why God would he give me the desire and not the children to love. I cried and remember saying to him that if he didn't want me to be a parent to take the desire away and I would be fine with that. However if he did mean for me to be a parent for the desire to remain. a few months later I was PG. It wasn't an instant answer we have to remember God doesn't work like an ATM. We don't just deposit our prayers, wishes and desires into it and then receive instantly what we want. I felt like I had waited long enough and even filled out adoption papers and was working on all the stuff needed to do for it. Still it was a few months after that that I got PG. I also questioned if the drugs were working. This third time I got all negative opk tests. I thought for sure I didn't O. I didn't feel PG, had no certainty until I was a day late and only then got a faint bfp. Remember our timing isn't Gods perfect timing.

Hi ladies

I would really appreciate some prayers. Hubby's SSR op is in 9 days and I'm really starting to freak out about it. I'm not sleeping well, am very snappy with people and just cannot get it out of my mind. It really is hard to deal with right now.

Thanks xx

Hi everyone!

I'm new here my name is Rebekah and Happy Auntie recommended this forum. Our son was born last October 22nd at 22wks gestation and passed away shortly after due to an accident where I lost my mucus plug.

We've been ttc 6 months now and this month has been the best cycle since starting again. I have been on injectables and have at least two follies from the right side fully mature. The left ovary has been hiding near my butt so they haven't been able to see the past couple of times. We had our IUI yesterday and are for the next few days.

Our hopes is that God will bless us with more children here on earth as he did when Hannah gave her son unto the Lord.

If you could please pray with us that our swimmies and follies fertilize and we have a pregnancy to carry healthfully to term we'd really appreciate it.

I look forward to getting to know you all as I intercede with and for you.

Hey dears
I just wanted to THANK you all for praying for my hubby!!! Its time for some good news! Ok, not a BFP, but still something that I want to thank God for!!!!

Hubby's sperms are great!!!!! Some of you might remember that hubby's sperms started at 8million when he first got them checked. Then doc found out he had some bacterial infection and upon treatment, it increased to 14 million - 1 mth later. Since then, we haven't checked, but hubby has been taking some supplements....

I think another 1.5 - 2mths later, results came out today that his sperm counts have increased to

51 million with 50% motility and everything else NORMAL!!!!

This is such an answered prayer!!!!! FS even said we won't have to do IVF anymore. He told us right from the start that if hubby's sperms don't improve, IVF would be the best option.....and now I'm sooo positive we would get pregnant the natural way!!!!

I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant this cycle cos of my low progesterone levels, but I'm soooo filled with hope that God IS at work!!!! He hears every one of our prayers and He loves us TOO much to ever make mistakes. Let's trust in His PERFECT timing for our lives!

Hey Deb
I'M sooo sorry that this is such a stressful period for you.

"God, I pray for your supernatural strength and grace for Deb. Help her to cast her burdens onto you, knowing that you will hold them and your yoke is light. Lord, watch over her as she sleeps. Help her to calm down so that she doesn't feel suffocated by the many voices in her head. As she closes her eyes, help her to feel your tangible presence with her, in her and around her. I pray that her hubby's SSR will be a massive success and they would be able to find sperms that would result in a baby. Lord, I bless the doctors who will perform the operation. Guide their hands and minds as they work.

We lift Deb to you. Only you can help her fully in her time of need. I pray that Deb will keep putting her faith and trust in you. Make her stronger, more steadfast and even more dependant on you through this whole season of her life. Pour out on her I pray,

In Jesus Name, Amen. "
