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

[Terangela]

Rdy- Sorry to hear IUI didn't work this round. I'll be praying for you.

Babyhopes- Tears fell when I heard your news. So sorry that this is happening to you.

Sterr- Waiting is hard. I didn't have a wait time like you have. My prayer is that God blesses you and your DH 10 fold for your faith and persistence.

MrsKC- I have PCOS as well. I had supply issues with my first, however... she was very tiny and had a bad latch. I didn't know anyone else that was nursing and got misinformation about supply. I was trying everything I could find at the time and gave up at 4 months. With my second I had no supply issues at all. Just had a colicky acid reflux baby that vomited everything up and I was nursing almost 24-7. So I turned to formula. He did the same with that, however it took me 2 min to make up a big batch of formula and anyone could feed him. This time I read a ton about nursing as I really want it to work. I felt ripped off that I didn't get that experience with them. There is tons of great info on https://www.kellymom.com/bf/supply/low-supply.html that were all my issues with my first making me think I wasn't supplying enough. I wish I had the link when I was trying to nurse my first!

AFM- finally after 5 weeks of having a dreadful cold/cough it is gone. No coughing last night at all and I woke up with clear lungs this morning! I feel blessed that it is finally gone. Now to get it out of my DS's system and we will all be healthy for baby's arrival. Getting very close to the end now and feeling truly blessed and starting to look at a career with helping new moms. I really am praying hard that God guides me as to what direction to take and that he will show me a clear path.

Thanks for sharing that link. I am going to read up on that because I never really have had the opportunity and I really, really want it to work.

Rdy and babyhopes - you girls are amazingly strong. I do believe that everything will work out for the good. Prayers for you both

Well, had to get tons of blood work done and I have to do a 24 hour urine sample....I'm getting a referral to a neurologist asap....my PCP thinks it could be one of a few things which include a Metabolic Disorder, a brain anurism, strokes, MS, or some type of mass like a tumor or something...blah.

Wow! I'm a newbie and have been reading over a lot of the forums here, but I have to tell you ladies how excited I was to find this thread!!! I'm a Christian and have been ttc my first for several cycles and am so happy to find this group of encouraging Christian woman who put their faith in God. I would love to join you all if you don't mind.

Thanks RDY!

 

[Mialia]

Thank you for your kind welcome, ladies! I've been encouraged already

 

[Rdy2BaMom]

Welcome to the new ladies! Glad you can join us!

Well, I told my husband last night that I wanted to quit TTC and just enjoy "us." He agreed that it was a good idea. So. . .I am not sure how long we will ntnp, but for now, I really feel as though that is where we need to be. It just seems like all of the romance and intimacy has disappeared, and we both want it back. Please pray for us that we are making the right decision. Thanks so much! Have a blessed weekend!

I think you are making a great decision to restore the intimacy in your marriage. TTC seems to take that away and I hated that. So im praying with you and know that God will give you the desire of your heart!

 

[Deb111]

Hi Rdy2B - I think we all know that feeling only too well. I will pray for you and hubby to be able to enjoy your marriage and each other again. LTTTC really does take its toll

Mrs KC - look at that bump!!! Wow - so excited that we get to 'meet' your LO soon

xx

 

[Terangela]

Rdy2b- You are so right. It is important to focus on the right things. Glad you two can recognize it.

Well, woke up with a new cold this morning. I am going to be so glad when this cold and flu season is done with!!! Hoping this is only short lived. Nothing like sinus congestion, awful soar throat, sneezing and yet another cough on top of everything else. ARG!

 

[rosababy]

Rdy, sometimes a break can be a great thing, especially if it feels like a chore lately. And who knows...I've heard lots of women getting their bfps when they decided to "give up." You never know!

As for me, our pastor gave a wonderful sermon about waiting for God's timing. Wow. I turned to my dh and said did you tell him to speak about this today?! It made me feel so much better.

Rdy2baMom. I'll keep you in my prayers
Focus on everything that makes you and hubby happy, you never know this break might just be the right medicine to get your bfp when you're not thinking of it.

To all the ladies - May you all have a week full of blessings and may you feel God's presence at all time. May God's love wrap around you like a warm blanky in the winter and may He light our ways whereever we go and whatever we do. x

PLEASE MAKE TIME TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG AND LISTEN TO THE WORDS - IT'S MY FAVOURITE GOSPEL SONG

i think my husband is having a tougher time with things this month than i am. he was like, if God wanted us to have a healthy pregnancy, we would have had one; it must be personal.

that was so hard for me to respond to. please keep my husband in your prayers, ladies.

Fides, I have been where you are several times. There were times when my hubby just gave up. Especially when we went to the fertility specialist and she told him that his morphology and his count was low and the only way we could get preggo was IUI or IVF. He left the office and didnt even speak to me. He said, if God wanted us to have a baby then we would have one by now and he felt like he was being punished.

It took a lot of prayer to help him overcome that obstacle. I also had to assure him that we werent the only ones facing this situation and that their were others worse off than us. We decided to stop trying so hard and truly trust God. We felt if he wanted this for us, then he would bless us. I stopped all meds and I swear a month later we were preggo. (All together it took 16 months to get preggo).

So I say all of this to say, Pray without ceasing. Ask God to prepare you and to soften his heart. You cant change him, only yourself but just ask God to reveal to hubby the reason why you all are doing this. I know God is not a respector of persons. What he has done for one, He will do for the next.
I will keep you lifted in prayer!

thank you for the beautiful post and prayers - yes, he also thinks we're being punished.

praise the Lord for your healthy pregnancy, and thanks so much for the encouragement! all things are possible in God, right?

When doors look closed all around you, when your surroundings look limited, when you feel like you're in chains, remember, God is still at work. He's promised to walk with you all the days of your life. Keep your hopes up. Keep expecting. Keep believing. Like Paul, pray for those opportunities to be opened to you. If you fall, get right back up and press forward with even greater determination because He promises to break the chains and open doors of opportunity in your life.
