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

[Guppy051708]

I am a new Christian so i dont really know all that much

Dont let that influence you negatively! In fact, when I see Christians, I always see that the "new-Christians" are so much more proactive for God than the "old-Christians".

And i used to always think that when I accepted Christ, I thought, really? What could i say to anyone because i am so new in Jesus? Then someone told me this:

"God does not call the equipped, He equips the called"

I am a christian with athiest friends (well they say that but I think they are more agnostic) so it is sometimes hard to sit and listen to some of their conversations. It's Ok though, because I converted my favourite non-Christian friend who is now my DP and that is something that we both share together.

This month there will be a lot of praying on both sides to conceive a little miracle from God.

Thanks Guppy.

JKL, good to see you...I hope this month goes by quickly for you!

Welcome, Rmar!!

This is so true!! My husband is a much newer Christian than I and even though I technically "know" more Bible verses and stuff, I love to hear his new-Christian perspective. I am of course glad that I grew up knowing God, but there is really something special about an adult realizing how awesome God is. I think you don't take as much for granted when you know what life is like without God.

Rascheal, will you please move my date to Dec. 13th? I figured since I Ov'ed sooner than anticipated than i can earlier

 

[mrskcbrown]

How do we NOT symptom spot? Im trying my best not too, but since I O'd a little bit earlier than expected, Im further along in my DPO. I think Im 6, or 7 DPO now! Im still vowing not to test until the 14th (I think)!

Question, maybe you guys know maybe you dont. When you get those O pains, does that mean you are ovulating, or about to ovulate? Also does everyone get implantation bleeding?
I BD anyway my whole fertile time, but I was just curious. I usually use the CB ovulation smiley face kit, but didnt this cycle because I needed to relax some.

 

[Rmar]

O Pains usually means you are ovulating. Someone once told me that it can usually tell you from which side you are aswell but I don't know how much truth there is behind that.

More people don't have implantation bleeding than do.

 

[Guppy051708]

Actually, only about 25% of females experience implantation bleeding. So if you dont get it , dont loose hope! For example, I know my last pregnancy i didnt get it! Most ppl wont get it, but dont be scared if you do!

I had slight cramping the couple of days before Ov, and last night I had increased, intensified cramping (not anything unbearable though). But i can't say for certainty that the cramping happened at the moment of Ovulation or if it happened slightly before Ov. And many people do not experience Ov. pain either. In fact, i think this cycle was the first time I had Ov. pain.

Thanks ladies. Ok, just wondering about those things! Well hopefully, we get it this time for Christmas. All of us!!

 

[Guppy051708]

That would be fantastic! And I am confident that we will!!!!!

Well, if you look at my chart - you will notice the chances for me to conceive this month on pretty nil (we barely bd'ed).

So, the 2ww is a flying by and I am not symptom spotting at all...given that symptom spotting means nothing anyway with my body - cuz I get every preg sign in the book! anyhoo - of course, I get a brand-new unignorable (is that a word?!) one today... a big pimple like bump on my areola? weird? it is a little painful to touch - like a pimple or ingrown hair or something. never get anything like this.

so I am all paranoid that I might have breast cancer and then I read online it could be a preg symptom...clogged milk duct as your body prepares. haha...I love how EVERYTHING really can be a symptom.

I'm 9 dpo but FULLY expecting AF in about 4 days - just thought I would share the humor of my areola.

Someday - no - I dont' think the liquid should ever separate from the tip...try running it under warm water and see what happens? they should send you a new one, though - are they going to?

Guppy - I hope this is it for you!!!!!!!!!

 

[Willynilly]

Immi - case for Christ is the best book ever. Staggering what "facts" we have on Christianity yet people still choose not to believe.

 

[Guppy051708]

I thought this was a VERY interesting scientific fact on why Evolution is crap:

The Theory of Evolution​

"Oh, yes..... one more thing on the subject of evolution. Many published studies over recent years have shown that chimpanzees mostly have Blood type A, almost no Blood type O, but never Blood type B. The other great ape, the gorilla has Blood type B, almost no Blood type O, but never Blood type A. In these 'man-apes' species, said to be the ancestors of man, there is NO Blood type AB in either. Generally speaking, man has both Blood types A and B, and Blood type AB. Blood type O, in man is by far the most common in virtually every racial group"

okay, i know this thread wasn't supposed to turn into one about whats right and wrong, so i will stop now. i just figured it would be good scientific proof for others who seem to believe that we evolved from apes and not God.

have you read the screw tape letters or the ishbane conspiracy? they are suppose to be AMAZING books!

 

[somedaymama]

cute picture, Jenna.

 

[im_mi]

To be honest i dont really talk about my beliefs to others all that much. i mean, i do if they ask but i try not to like, make them believe what i do. Only because i know that when i didnt have faith in God, when people tried to make me i just backed further away. i figure that if my faith inspires them to find their own path, then wonderful. Other than that, for me my faith is a private thing, very close to my heart.

DH and i have decided not to try this cycle. i want to lose some weight before falling pregnant again, and also i have been kind of enjoying having a social life again after so long. so we are not going to use any kind of contraception, just avoid BDing from CD10-17. If it happens, then we will know it was meant to be. Im still gonna stick around here with you girls though, if thats ok

 

[somedaymama]

Im_mi, it sounds like taking a month off is a good idea. That will give you a little time to heal from the chemical.


My new thermometer came today! woohoo! (and it's not broken this time. )

 

[Aster]

Hey girlies! I have been without Internet for a week apart from my phone which makes it hard but I have had to get back on and get my fix!
I am due to test tomorrow but think I am going to wait for af. I just know in my heart that this isn't my month and I just cannot bear to look at another test tell me that its really heartbreaking.
Anyhoo, congrats to the bfp ladies and will update as and when af decides to show. So much dust to you all,
Big hugs xxx xxx xxx
