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

[somedaymama]

mrskcbrown, praying for you and your DH. The first year of marriage and all that comes with it and be rough. But it is worth it to stick it out!

groovygrl, ohmygoodness!!! you got your ! (Isn't the digital BFP the most beautiful thing ever?!) Congratulations!

Sayuri, welcome! We're glad to have you! Somewhere here I posted the instructions for getting the Faith banner. I'll see if I can find it and re-post it for you.

 

[somedaymama]

Here's the banner instructions that I posted earlier:

To get the faith banner, right click on the banner and save it to your computer. You then need to upload it to photobucket because you can only post pictures from a link. (At least that's all I've been able to figure out.) I didn't have a photobucket account before, it only took a couple minutes to set up. Photobucket will then give you a weblink for the photo.

Do you know how to access your signature? If not here it is: go to "user cp" at the top of the page. Then click on edit signature, insert picture, and put in the link from photobucket.

There might be an easier way to do it, but that is all I figured out. Hope it works for you!!

Congratulations Groovygrl!!! Praise Him! I am so excited for you!!!

Congratulations GroovyGirl!!!!

:wave: Welcome Sayuri! We are glad you could join us! We love new faces

MrsKCBrown, I am praying for you and your husband! I know God will keep you together! xxx

As for me, I have finally gotten a PoSiTiVe OPK today!!!! FF is estimating Ov anywhere from CD17 (today) to CD20! Hopefully that means my LP is a little longer...maybe that B6 is working

[somedaymama]

Guppy, yay for the positive OPK!! I love the smiley!

Have you used the digital OPKs in the past, or is this new thing? I kinda want to try them, but they are crazy expensive! (Since I don't even ovulate all the time, I might use them for weeks for nothing...)

 

[Guppy051708]

Somedaymama, This is my first time using the digital (Clear Blues Easy brand OPK). the cycle i got preggers i used Clear Blue OPKs (NOT the digital kind though). And they were good, slightly less $$ so i would recommend those kind if you cant get your hands a digital. I have copied and pasted the below info from my journal. You ladies may find this interesting:

So, i was curious to see if the ANSWER brand of OPKs would give me a positive result or not...check this out (sorry about the poor quality)

anyways, these pics are taken of the OPK I just took. But this morning I had an ANSWER OPK look the same exact as this one. So i thought, well i must not be Ov because its def. lighter than the test line...but obviously, thats incorrect, because the digi was positive! Granted, a small portion of the LH line was dark, but it was next to nothing. So i figured it to be negative...looks like I wont be buying the ANSWER brand of OPKs EVER AGAIN!

jennabear!

you lovely sweet thing!

First, not to worry about your comments on digital tests! All your comments, ideas and suggestions are valid here! It doesn't matter how old you are or whether or not your married or trying to get pregnant. You are in a really encouraging and supportive space here! All us girls that have been TTC for more than a little while can get a bit frantic about the details, you'll see. But honestly all your words are welcome and valued!

I'm sorry your boyfriend didn't tell you what you wanted to hear right now but... he might still want there to be the element of suprise when he's ready and if he's not quite ready and God hasn't led him to that place yet then try to be glad for his faith in God and himself! I know that sounds silly when you want something so badly but... you wouldn't want to spend your life with someone who believes less than he does! He sounds very mature and cool! Keep being the beautiful cool chick you are and give the rest to Jesus!

xoxo

thanks so much! we ended up talking things out so im very glad on that. and im sooo happy you got your bfp!!! many congrats to you and praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby for you!

 

[xxJennaBearxx]

Keep me and DH in your prayers. We had a big fight last night over a misunderstanding and I almost lost him. I did something stupid as usual and I feel really bad about it. DH took it the wrong way though, I actually meant for it to be good for him and me. Anywho, I prayed last night very hard, and I asked God to work it out. He knows that I never want to be without my husband. So we are ok but im still treading lightly. DH hugged me this morning and told me that he loved me and kissed me. That made me feel good but I still feel like the storm hasnt completely passed. So pray mightily for me and my husband because what God has joined let no one set asunder. Marriage is forever and I do not take being married lightly.

Thanks a lot!

****This first year is harder than I expected.****

i am praying for you and your husband! you are a lovely women, im sure the storm will pass soon.

 

[xxJennaBearxx]

yay guppy!! im not sure what an OPK is but it must be a very good thing!! so congrats!

 

[Guppy051708]

Thanks hun! An OPK stands for Ovulation Predictor Kit, basically it tells you when you have s Lueteninizing Hormone surge (the hormone release immediately before Ovulation). This is VERY good because it means i will be Ov within the next day or two

 

[somedaymama]

Thanks for the info, Guppy. I used those answer strips awhile back and never got a positive, I just assumed I didn't ovulate or maybe I was reading it wrong. I guess I won't buy that brand anymore either.

Jenna, I'm glad you and your OH could talk things out.

By the way Guppy, are the names in your sig the ones you've picked out for a baby? I like them a lot!!

 

[mrskcbrown]

Mrs. KCBrown,

I think you're beautifull! you have been a consistant supportive and joyful influence on these pages!

I was so touched to hear that your husband hugged you and told you he loved you after the storm! Trust that he also believes in you and your marraige as much as you do! I know all too well how much saying the wrong thing can really make things go BIZERK, but once you're comfortably on the other side of this (sounds like you're almost there) you'll realise what a fantastic opportunity you both provided each other to learn to love each other better!

I will pray that you find grace and ease ASAP!

xoxo

Thanks so much! Congrats on your BFP!!!!!

We are now better. I think every storm makes our relationship stronger. We talked and he expressed his love and I did too, and now we are all better. Especially after the make-up!!! LOL. But anyway, yes God is awesome all the time.

I am so happy to hear that after 2 yrs you got your BFP. Did you have any symptoms? I am due to test Dec. 14 and I hope I get those 2 lines as well.

 

[mrskcbrown]

Thanks ladies for all of your prayers! Me and DH are super now. Prayer changes things! Now only if I can get this on the 14th!!!

 

[Rdy2BaMom]

Okay ladies. . . . I need test dates!!! I have a few, but there are more than 4 of us. . . sooooo . . . . when is everyone testing???

 

[Guppy051708]

By the way Guppy, are the names in your sig the ones you've picked out for a baby? I like them a lot!!

Yep! They sure are! I love them too! Right now that is what we are settled on, but in 9 months, that could change LOL. But im rooting for those and the DH is too for the moment

btw, i decided on nicknaming the little bean (the baby when i am preggo, and b4 we know the sex of the baby), "Little Guppy".

 

[mrskcbrown]

Okay ladies. . . . I need test dates!!! I have a few, but there are more than 4 of us. . . sooooo . . . . when is everyone testing???

I see that our cycles are similar as well. You will be testing in 9 days and I in 11, so it says but I know I O'd prior to what they said! Blessings are coming your way!

 

[somedaymama]

very cute, Guppy!

No test date for me yet. If I ovulate, I'll let you all know when I plan to test.

 

[Guppy051708]

Thanks hun!
Im sure you'll Ov in no time

 

[somedaymama]

Thanks. I hope so!

My sister's name is Emily, btw. I don't think I mentioned that.

 

[Guppy051708]

cool beans! =)
