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

[MrsEngland]

Hi All,

I'm new to BaB. Me and my husband have been TTC since Nov '08 and are getting really low about not falling pregnant. I am a firm believer though that prayer can do anything so next time you pray send one up for me and i'll do the same for you all.
I have an ultrasound soon to find out if i can PCO, i pray not!

Hello MrsEngland!
Nice to have you join the F.A.I.T.H. group! My prayers are with you and your husband. Just remember that "by His stripes we are healed!"

I pray that you have healthy organs that are working properly.

 

[MrsEngland]

Its nice to have support and to be able to support others with prayers!

Glad to have you Mrs. England. I am praying that everything is well. I have PCOS and you do not want nor need that. So I know God is going to bless you!

Guppy-Thanks for all of your positive energy. I was so discouraged last night when I went to the movies, I began to cry. Then when I got home, I re-read the story of Hannah and how she prayed, and prayed. So I followed her lead. The main thing the passage told me was to have faith. My faith waivers around this time I guess because I desire it so much! Yes tomorrow is another day but Im still so nervous. GL to you and all who are testing tomorrow!

 

[Guppy051708]

Thank you Mrskcbrown.
I know the feeling. Even though i may appear to have all of this PMA, sometimes i just get so frustrated with TTC. Im glad that the Lord led you those scriptures. i can tell that he is already working in you You are gonna make one great mama!

Guppy - thx for stalkin me this month - but alas, the acne indicated correctly (as it always seems to)... came yesterday afternoon!



I'm surprisingly fine this month - prob b/c I got alll my out mid-month when I felt like it was a "bad try" month. Oh yeah - and I cried a lot a week ago b/c I was confronted w a lot of babies in my family.

Today I feel so positive. weird. Must be God! I can't WAIT for this cycle to try...b/c of my crazily long period this month - my fertile days next month will be when we are together at AT HOME! so this should be an awesome, relaxing, fun cycle together. We decided that this month we will try our very bestest to go every other day started day 9 and holding out til the 21st or so. That's 7 BD's...so praying we can maintain that schedule at all the optimum days.

Guppy and MBrown - will def be watching for you two this weekend!!!

Guppy - I don't think you have anything to worry about yet - it def could be your apartment temp level affecting it. In God's time, though.

 

[Willynilly]

Rdy - can you put me down to test on Jan 8th?! My 30th BDAY!!!

 

[Willynilly]

Rasch? where have you been? how are the headaches? hope you are feeling ok...and um - u r testing soon! praying for a BFP!

 

[Guppy051708]

WillyNilly, breakouts are my #1 AF symptom too. In fact, i usually dont have any other symptoms until she hits. And for as positive as i felt about this month, yesterday and today i feel out...completely. I know what it feels like to be pregnant, and this isn't it. I woke up with 3 new pimples (alot for me). So being the POAS Addict that I am, i tested this morning and got a Tomorrow the is due. Guess onto cycle #3.

I feel so bitter and sad right now. I believe that the Lord keeps His promises- always. But at the same time i feel so upset and bitter about it because its like, i got pregnant. I had the baby that we wanted. I went through half a trimester, then MCed, and here i am trying again and i still dont have a baby in my womb Then i see my sisters and all of these other girls getting pregnant to guys they barely have interest in and they barely have the means to take care of a child they really didn't want in the first place.
I dont ask for much at all. I am content with next to nothing. My husband and a Bible will do...a baby is all i want, thats it. Why did i have it, only to get it taken away, and now im having trouble getting it back

Im sorry for the rant girls. PMA isn't there right now...

 

[mrskcbrown]

Guppy I understand the pain and frustration you are feeling. I don't know what to say to make it better. ((hugs))

 

[Willynilly]

Guppy - sorry no time to write much...but I'm so sorry, girl. of course, it ain't over yet. praying for you today.

DH said something brilliant to me yesterday. maybe it will help. "well - you should really learn to love/appreciate the season we are in now (no children) b/c what happens when our children are grown up and out of the house and it is back to just us again? will you be sad that it is just us?" and yeah, it also just made me realize to stop trying to base my happiness on whether we have a baby or not...cuz I am a little...trying to focus now on enjoying whatever months I have without a baby - traveling whenever - going out to dinner/movie without finding a sitter - reading - watchin tv - taking naps...that is my next cycle resolution...

Everyone,

Kind of new to this website. First and foremost, I want to say to everyone I am firm believer in the Lord and stand by my most favorite bible scripture: With God All Things Are Possible - Luke 1:37

Well here is a little about me: I am 30 years old and am married to my junior high school sweetheart for 6 1/2 years. We have a 9 year old daughter and a 5 1/2 year old son. We have 5 angel babies.

I had my Mirena removed on 10/26 and have been TTC for the last 2 months. I am currently on cd 21 of a 25 day cycle. I have never had a positive HPT test. I have always need blood tests - well so far at least. With my daughter I missed Af and BFN on a HPT and since AF didn't come after another week I went to the doctor only to find out that I wasn't 5 weeks but 9 weeks. I apparently had gotten my AF for the first month of my pregnancy.
With my son every was regular, missed AF, took a HPT and got BFN but went to Dr and was 5 weeks pregnant.

I am currently waiting to test. The earliest I could test is tomorrow but AF not due until thursday the 17th. Praying for a but due to history, I might have to actually wait until I miss AF. I would just like to say I know the devastation of miscarriages and get AF when you want her to take a hike off a short pier!

So I am sending prayers and baby to all TTC.

Hi all, sorry to gatecrash! Just asking for a prayer for me and my DF. We are very optimistic this cycle and have prayed each and every day.. I feel pregnant, but I can't explain it.. just a few words to the big guy upstairs! If you can Gl to each and every one of you xx

Hello all!

Sorry I have been out of the loop over the past couple days. For some reason, every time I tried to get on here. . .it said that BNB was down for maint.

I'm sorry to hear about all the BFN's!!! It SUCKS!!! Especially since I am joining you all. AF showed up today, 1 day late. I'm not too emotional about it this month as I just really didn't feel like this was my month. Oh well. . . on to another with my ladies in here!!

We will all get our BFP's VERY SOON! It says in the bible that what we confess with our mouths will be. . . so I am confessing that for all of us!

Welcome to all the newcomers. . glad to see you all on here!

Well ladies, looks like its time for some new testing dates! Love you ladies and have a blessed weekend!

Hi Mrs. England and Baby#3! I'm new myself, but from a newbie, WELCOME!! And thanks for the encouragement, WillyNilly! somedaymama, those verses from Deut were perfect! Thank you!

I guess this is the time of month that we all get discouraged, huh? It's kinda funny that a number of us are expecting AF around the same time...I suspect she'll show up at my door pretty soon, as well. Not holding out much hope for this month.
My temp went down today, although it's still above the coverline, but it was a pretty big drop. I'm still having the annoying cramping/hip pain/backache thing going on...been trying to figure out what that's all about? Maybe the B-vits I'm taking? IDK...My CM has picked back up again, so I keep running to the bathroom thinking the is making a visit, but nothing yet...

If she can just wait until tomorrow morning, then I will have at least increased my LP by one day, and that is definitely something to be thankful for!!

It's really nice to feel like I have some support during all of this (other than DH )... just other ladies who know what I'm going through, and with whom I can commiserate!!

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, WITH THANKSGIVING, present your requests to God." Phil 4:6
We have so much to be thankful for, girls!

 

[somedaymama]

Guppy Don't worry about being negative, it is so sad to see the ...I know. I'm so sorry that this doesn't seem to be your month. I'm praying for your mental strength as you enter your next cycle of trying.

Willynilly, thanks for sharing what your husband said. He makes a great point!

Welcome, baby#3 and Hopeful4#1!! We're glad to have you!

I was going crazy not being able to talk to you ladies while the board was down! My DH just does not want to hear about how my cervix changes

Last night we were in Menards shopping and they had a "baby's first christmas" tree that they were selling. There was an ornament on it that was a clear plastic heart with a baby inside--no words, no colors. I wanted it sooo bad because it seemed to say just what I felt. I miss the baby I was pregnant with even though I only knew about him or her for a few days. That baby is in my heart and I wish it was with us this Christmas. So I tried to buy the ornament to take home but they wouldn't sell it to me because it was only part of the decorated tree, they don't even sell the ornament anywhere else in the store! I was quite annoyed.

If anybody sees this, please pray for me. (unrelated to TTC)...I am working on a take-home mathematical economics exam and I am having an extremely hard time with it. Prayers are appreciated.

 

[Guppy051708]

Thanks for your prayers and encouragement ladies. I am in a much better place, emotionally today. Af is due either today or tomorrow (could be Tuesday if the B6 worked in lengthening my LP) but temp went up today, I have TONS of thick, creamy CM, and I had increased cramping last night...so cramping, no sign of AF, loads of CM, and a BBT increase...id say that everything is great! Im really hoping i get that positive soon. but if worst comes to worst, at least my luteal phase has lengthened and that is def. important to keeping a sticky, healthy bean

Your chart is looking great! You know, you got a pretty early last time, but that doesn't necessarily mean you will again. Just the fact that you have had no sign of AF is a very good thing!

 

[Guppy051708]

Thats what i was thinking today too,
Praise the Lord for helping me emotionally today!!!

 

[mommahawk]

Yay, Guppy...I'm likin' your chart! I'm glad you're feeling better, too.

No AF here yet...My temp went up a little bit but BFN this morning with FMU at 12dpo, though, so I'm guessing that the B-vits are working instead of my being preggo. So far, it's lengthened my LP by 2 days!
