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

[Beans]

Wow! I dont know how I found this thread but, I just spent..... a long time reading all 50 pages!

It really brought me peace to read the thoughts of so many women like myself. My DH and I are on our 2nd month of REALLY ttc. lol what I mean by that is we have been BD'ing for a few years now w/o any.... precautions wanting a baby but, not saying it out loud. If that makes any sense!

I feel I should point out that when I say second month, I am not counting the six months it took me to get a proper cycle to start trying with.

(I had very erratic periods, I would skip a month or menstrate for weeks on end. My dr worked me up and found no obvious reason but, my stress was sky high and my diet....poor. I am happy to say that a good diet and soul searching have worked wonders and all of my blood work, OPK results and cm monitoring are pointing in a positive direction!)

WHOO! I can babble! Anyway, I wanted to say that I am praying for each of you ladies and I know your lives will be blessed further by the Lord.

welcome to the thread, beans! Good luck with TTC, i hope that you are blessed with a little sticky bean sooner rather than later

So i am going to the doctor tomorrow to discuss the recent m/c and other 'down there' issues. I am having quite a few stabbing pains today so i fear i will be sent for a scan of some kind. This month we are not going to TTC actively, more NTNP. i cant promise i wont instigate anything around O time but im going to try to just ignore it and let nature take its course. I want my LP to be of a decent length before falling pregnant again because i couldnt bear to expel another baby because my body let me down.

Just going to try my best to trust in the Lord that he will give me my baby when my body is ready.

Ladies, I just wanted to thank you all for taking the time to pray about my DH's job offers! This afternoon he got a call from Liberty Mutual...and they offered him the position!!!!! I am thrilled! Now, they are offering him a large junk less on salary per year [compared to Freddie Mac], however, I dont see us being happy living in the rush of the Washington, D.C. culture. The benefit package should be in the mail Wednesday, so we will make our final decision then. I can't wait! Looks like we will be moving to Portsmouth, New Hampshire- the seaside town in May!

Have i mentioned how in love with our Lord and Savior I am!!!!

 

[somedaymama]

Guppy, that's awesome!!

I don't know much about New Hampshire, but D.C. is a verrrrry expensive place to live. I would expect that the cost of living difference would almost make up for the lower salary with Liberty Mutual.

I'm so happy for you guys!

Congrats Guppy! I have family in Derry, NH. We've gone into Portsmouth for lunch and shopping. It is so quaint!!

Guppy, that's awesome!!

Thanks for the comments girls! =]

and I agree. DC is VERY expensive! I really am not convinced we would be happy there. And I believe that God has placed this desire on our heart because that is where He is calling us to go. I know that God has prepared a place for us and I dont think He would put the desire there if it wasnt.

Love you girls xxx

[P.S] Maybe we could all meet up sometime once we move and get settled in!!! of course, by then we would probably have our babies and they could have play dates

also ill be praying you and all the other ladies get your bfps!

 

[Rdy2BaMom]

Hello ladies! It has been a while since I have been on here! I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving!! Mine was awesome as we had tons of family in town. I just love my family!!

Welcome to all the new peeps! I am glad to see this group getting larger!

Guppy- Praise God! Congrats on the job for your DH! That is so exciting to know that you are in God's perfect will. Yay!!

Well ladies, I ov'd a few days ago, so my DH and I have taken advantage of the holidays.. ... and being home together. . . .now onto the dreaded 2ww. . . Ugh. This has to be my least favorite part of all of this. How about everyone else?? How are things going?? Anyone else in the 2ww?? Dipar. . . I think you and I had about the same cycle. ... i think. .. .

Well, hope you all are doing great! Love you! and have a great Tuesday!!

 

[Guppy051708]

Ick! I hate the 2WW, i think its LOL
I am waiting to Ov. I really though it was going to happen earlier than CD20 this cycle, but i guess not. At any rate, if my LP has not lengthened at all [due to B6] then I only have a 10 day wait to instead of a 2WW, so i guess that good...but still...ugh just wish it would happen already!

Glad to see you are doing well dear =]
Well i think i am gonna head for the shower now. G'd night ladies! xxx

 

[somedaymama]

Well, my new glass basal body thermometer came in the mail today. broken. booo! I really wanted to start temping my new cycle soon, but I don't want to switch between thermometers during my cycle. I'm on CD 7, I usually ovulate around day 25-28. Hopefully I can figure out tomorrow what I'm going to do...waiting on an email from customer service.

Hello my new friends!

Im_mi - I am so very sorry for your loss. I am praying that the lord will gently guide you down a path of grace and ease as you persue healing now.

I went out and bought book 'the shack' .thank you to the ladies who mentioned it here! I loved it and it has truly renewed my faith in God's perfect plan! This is truly a gift on the journey of TTC.

Rdy2bamom- happy belated thanksgiving! I'm glad you had a nice break with family! I missed Canadian Thanksgiving (where I'm originally from) But my DH is sweet enough to roast a chicken and make Thanksgiving a ritual in our home! (Thanksgiving doesn't happen in NZ sadly) Also, I'm almost at the end the 2WW!

I just got my 21 day progesterone test results today and I'm so happy to hear that my levels are 54! Yahoo! Those are pretty good numbers for an old grl (40 years old)

I am at day 24 of 28 day cycle and I have done two HPT's. EXTREMELY faint pink line - so faint that I may be doing that tricky little thing where you want something so bad that... well you know... it's easy to be loopy!

I will sit on my hands and try again in 3 days. here's hoping!

xoxo love and prayers for you all

 

[somedaymama]

groovygrl, I hope that EXTREMELY faint line turns into a lovely dark !!

 

[groovygrl]

thank you somedaymama!

I'm sorry about your thermometer! What a drag!you're clever to stick with your original thermometer until new one arrives for next cycle. Who know's if you'll need a thermometer by then

I'll bought the clearblue test (the one that reads 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant')to try in a few days so that I don't play funny eyeball games with the pink lines and run around the house to see what the EXTREMELY faint line looks like in different levels of light against different funature surfaces

best of luck

 

[xxJennaBearxx]

groovygrl- how exciting! i just read on another post that digital isnt *as* accurate as the non digital ones, is that true?

also, i love to read, what is the Shack about?

 

[Willynilly]

sorry I never got back to you someday - I got my glass bbt on earlypregnancytest.com or some website similiar to that? I know you already got yours but...oh well. Anyway, I absolutely love it - no more 8,000 loud beeps in the AM while DH is still sleeping! Just make sure you leave it in for a good while - I go about 5 min on mine. My chart is looking good this month - well, for ovulation anyway.

Rdy - praying for you to get your bfp. I hope this 2 ww flies by! I have about 6-7 more days before af. we only bd about two days before ov...so I am not hopeful AT ALL that I have a chance this month. Which makes the month fly by that much quicker...b/c, of course, I'm not really thinking about it.

to answer someone's questions - sorry, I am replying quickly here and don't have time to search the name...the ov watch - check out www.ovwatch.com...it predicts your ov day four days before it happens (pretty exactly)...my friend was ttc for 2 yrs, age 38 and got the watch and got pregnant the first cycle on it. I think I will hold out til Jan if nothing happens in next cycle. Don't really have the extra cash right now. and, I believe, it is only sold in US...possibly Canada too?

Guppy - yes! the east coast, baby! nothing is better than living here...in my opinion anyway! I would love to get together for a play date with our several babies (by then)!

 

[somedaymama]

groovygrl, be sure to let us know how the digi turns out!!

I got mine from amazon, but I think it came from Early Pregnancy Tests. I'm hoping they get back to me quickly! I'm glad to know that you like yours.

The digis test for a higher concentration of hcg--I think 50 mlu versus 20-25 mlu for the FRER. They don't require human interpretation of the lines, and I think that's why they have a higher hcg requirement.

I too am in the 2WW. I actually started my 2WW on saturday because I "o'd" on either thursday or friday. I thursday, friday and sunday, so I hope that did the trick. Im trying my darndest not to symptom spot or test early. My test date is Dec. 14 and I'm sticking to that, LOL.....(I hope)! GL to you and everyone!

 

[Guppy051708]

run around the house to see what the EXTREMELY faint line looks like in different levels of light against different funature surfaces

Haha. I do that right now with my OPKs

WillyNilly, what part of NY are you from? I am "east coast" but not as east coast as you! I live in Central Pennsylvania right now. But i am so excited to move to a seaside town! I cannot wait!!!!

And ladies, I dont want this to sound bad but i want to tell you all something.

You how I MCed and all? And how i said that I believed that God was NOT the one who caused the MC but that He would bring goodness to all of this? Well, ironically enough, this job with Liberty Mutual that the DH is taking...he would never have had the opportunity to take if I never MCed. Now i dont want that to sound mean, i dont mean it that way. My point is that my due date was May 26th, which also would have been his start date. So after his 1st [phone] interview with Liberty. They ddin't pursue him because of not being available because of the labor & delivery. Well, after we MCed he called them back told them what happened, and now here we are! Moving to Portsmouth so that he can take a job with Liberty Mutual!
So, in a way God did bring goodness out of something evil that Satan caused. I love our Lord!
