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

[Dahlia]

hi Mommahawk! I've missed u. sounds like a nice trip - very kind of dear husband. chart looks good - I will keep stalking it now.

that is funny how hormones must come in such shifts - with your first three were you in your 20's? I've heard the hormones drop off a bit in the 30's and then peak back up in late 30's/early 40's...it's all so ambiguous - and totally up to the Lord.

thinking of you!!!

and yeah, the ov watch was BANG on with my temps. it was so nice to be able to wait for those "key" days and then go for it...usually I am not the prettiest person around ov time - ok, now - I think today is good...oh shoot, I think we missed it completely...wait, no we didn't - I don't think I've ov'd yet. poor dh, the stress I put on us is def not helping. this month was golden, though. I'm thanking God for the makers of the watch right now.

Hi Sisters.....okay, I'm having faux sypmtoms again....but not as muh as previous months though (this month, it has just been cramping and indigestion....but no sore (.) or anything). Today, I'm like 7dpo. Anyways, it's probably nothing, but I just want to lift up faithful eyes to Jesus.....trusting Him to shock us this month.

Please join hands in prayer for me!

Morning all,

Someday, Mrskc & Aaisrie I am praying you all get your this month. That would be so amazing.

I am CD12 and no sign of 'O' yet so still early days for me.

A couple of scriptures i'd like to share....

"For this child I prayed and the Lord hath granted me my petiton" 1 Samuel 1:27

"And the LORD will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you" Deuteronomy 28:11

 

[Aaisrie]

Dahlia I'm wondering why your crosshairs didn't appear on your chart today - CD15 sure is looking like O day on it!!

beanni #1 thank you, I really need the prayers right now...

I'm just feeling totally despondent, the closer I get to AF, the less positive I get that this is going to happen for me. FF is already giving me 84 early pregnancy points and yet I've had no nausea... I had really bad nausea with both my daughter and when I had my MC. Plus my temp dipped this morning, and it's probably the start of my AF dip... I'm probably out this month.

 

[im_mi]

but evie, think of the cycles where you have had bad nausea and also not been pregnant? Im not trying to get your hopes up sweetie because i know it doesnt help but just remember that every pregnancy is different

 

[Aaisrie]

Thanks Ims I hadn't actually thought of that... I just don't FEEL pregnant... and AF is due thursday and I'm crampy today, more crampy than the last few days - sorer and I'm figuring it's AF cramps... just waiting for my cervix to drop - I haven't even had the urge to POAS and you know that's weird...

 

[Dahlia]

got my ov day today - and it was EXACTLY what the watch said. yeee haaaa. seriously, thank you God for those watch scientists.

Aaisrie - ur chart looks pretty dang good. I'd be happy with it for now! also time to start poas I'd say!

Someday - Mrskc? are you awake yet? still waitin on you two.

What is an Ov Watch? (Sorry if its obvious never heard of one)

 

[Aaisrie]

Dahlia - I think it's because my cramps are stronger today so I'm thinking it's AF cramps and that she's on her way. I was so excited about your watch working I tried to "like" your post and then realised I wasn't on facebook.... FAIL!

 

[Dahlia]

haha! it's a FB world, now, isn't it? well try not to think too much on your symptoms - doing so always screws me somehow

Beanni - hi! u wear it while u sleep and it tells u 4 days before u ovulate to start bd'ing. I just started using it on cycle month 10! the statistics are 1-2 months for most women using it to get preg. praying that the statistics do it for me! it's $100 for the watch plus one month of sensor...I need to buy another sensor now, though, just in case it didn't happen this month. here's the website if you want to look at it further www.ovwatch.com ...almost ov time for you?! ahhh, most exciting time of the month - at least my dh thinks so! prayers for you in this cycle!

 

[Dahlia]

I only have the free membership on FF - are the pregnancy predictor percentages usually right? Aaisrie - if you have 84% that sounds amazing? I would be willing to pay for FF for this feature alone, possibly.

 

[Aaisrie]

Dahlia it's not that expensive, I got the years sub and it only cost £28 and some pence. It costs £10 (ish) for a month from what I've heard?

It compares your symptoms on specific days to whether people who WERE pregnant had those symptoms those days. Sometimes you put a symptom in and it stays the same, sometimes it adds lots of points or just a few and sometimes it takes points away.

 

[somedaymama]

Aasirie, your temp dropped a little, but it still looks really good! Don't give up yet.

I am now 16 dpo. My temp dropped a bit today, but it is still high, but I STILL got a BFN!! boo.

Buttercup, praying for you.

Beanni, thanks for the prayers and the Bible verses.

 

[Aaisrie]

Someday, not trying to get your hopes up but I have seen a number of charts like yours where you get a little dip like that and then the next day it goes MEGA HIGH and you get a BFP! Praying for you!!

I think the fact mine dropped this close to AF starting makes it look... impossible

 

[beanni #1]

Someday have you taken any medication that may increase your LP this month? From your chart you have a regular 13 day LP, so16DPO is a very very good sign. fingers crossed

 

[somedaymama]

No, I haven't done anything to increase it. My hormones are still getting balanced from BC, I think, but I can't imagine my LP would change this month in a month without me doing anything! I guess all I can do is wait and see!

A friend shared this article with me. I really liked reading it. The Bible and the Pain of Infertility.

question - so I was watching 700 club today and Pat says that if we have any unforgiveness in our lives we are cutting off God's blessings to us. who are WE to not forgive after what he did for us sinners?

so I ask myself (for the 900th time!)...is there anyone I'm holding a grudge against...therefore cutting off God's blessings to me. Ok, so this is my usual answer...no. BUT. there is someone in my life who I just plain can't stand - I think he's a moron and an idiot. but when I'm around him I am very nice and polite and kind-spirited. I don't have unforgiveness towards him - but his actions do make me angry at times. And my dh and I go out of of our way to avoid events when we might see him...just b/c our mind-set is - 'why be around people u don't like?' so it isn't any type of grudge - just more like dislike.

ok, honest opinions on this? does disliking someone possibly cut off God's blessings towards us?

 

[im_mi]

i dont think so, dahlia. you still treat him with respect, and that is whats important. you cant help your feelings towards people and god knows that. what matters is how you deal with those feelings and it sounds like you deal with them with respect and kindness
