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

[somedaymama]

I'm glad to hear it went okay, Deb!

I have a prayer request. A girl I "know" from another board is having a really hard time. She has a 9 month old baby that cries ALL the time, she works a lot and her hubby is in school. She is really overwhelmed and stressed out.
Thanks girls.

Hi ladies,

Someday I’ll do that. Just got done eating cereal lol. I'm going to enjoy this little warm up weather we are having before the next blizzard comes around. And I’m also praying for the people in Haiti. Better days are ahead! I believe that 2010 is my good positive year, and I have to do my part to keep it like that. 10 means divine order. So I want all good blessings and positive things in order. This goes beyond getting pregnant. Regardless if I get my bfp soon or not. As long as I'm blessed to someday be a blessing to somebody else, that's all I’m concern about!

@Ruth Taylor: Glad to have you! I am praying for a sticky bean for you! Im sorry to hear about those miscarriages!!

@somedaymama: Thanks for your prayers! They really do mean a lot!

@Dipar: I love the attitude! Great PMA! Yes we have to pray for the people of Haiti. That was so sad that has happened to them. I am going to see if I can do my part by giving something. Also depressing that Haiti is the world's oldest black republic and the second-oldest republic in the Western Hemisphere and they are so poor. Their economy has never really risen like other black republics have. I think this is God doing a rebuilding of that republic for the better. Im so praying for my people!

@Everyone: I dont know how familiar you are with Tyler Perry's movies but there is a new one out called, "I can do bad by myself" and me and DH watched it last night on DVD. I loved it because it made you look outside of yourself and to stop being so selfish. To really look inwards and love others and do not forgot the ones that really mean the most. If you have a chance, check it out.

Also day 11dpo for me! Still praying for a BFP. Was tempted to go to dollar tree last night and get a test but then God said, be patient, sunday will be here soon. So needless to say I am testing on sunday when AF is due.

Wow someday, that quilt is gorgeous, it must take sooooo long!!

Hi Ruth praying for a sticky bean for you!

I have had a cough the last few nights which has been annoying but just ready that cough syrup can help when you ovulate so !!

Glad you survived you appt Debs you are brave! xxx

Anyhoo, I'm really tired today so off to have a cup of tea and wake me up!!

lol xxx

 

[Aster]

@ mrskcbrown have got everything crossed for you! It will be a while til the movie is out over here i am sure but will keep an eye out!

@dipar - yay for PMA!!! Positivity can do anything!! (with help from the Lord! )
I too am thinking of the people of Haiti and have donated to the aid supplies going out with our british helpers. I was there exactly a year ago, right on the border of haiti and dominica and I felt so lucky and blessed to have a lovely home in england, the shanty towns are really shocking. I pray for the people and know that God has a higher plan. xxx

 

[somedaymama]

Dipar, great attitude to have. I'm sure you will be a great blessing to someone.

mrskcbrown, I've seen that movie advertised, but thanks for letting us know it's good! Maybe we'll rent it this weekend. I think you're smart to wait to test. Only a few more days of waitng!!

Thanks Aster! That one took a long time to make because it is so big. My favorite to make are baby ones, both because they add to my stash for my baby-to-be and because they only take a couple of days.
I hope you feel better! I've heard that about the cough syrup too, I think certain kinds can thin your CM which of course makes it easier for the to travel.

I'm off to work for the day. Have a good day everyone!

Hi ladies,

Thank you for your feedback or your reply to my positive comments/PMA. I decided this is the year to remind positive and stop being so cotton-picky-negative about certain things (especially TTC) GOD’s timing is the best. And his plans are the best, because what I’m about to tell you, is a proof of what I’m talking about. Remember a while back, I was complaining about my insurances and not being able to see a RE...Well I call my insurance to see who accepts it.

And I asked them if they have any RE that will accept my insurance and they do. Now the RE has me down for the 23rd of March to get testing. Because I told her about my results with my scan I had done recently, and also I’m trying to get pregnant. So I wanted to make sure if I need anything done before I go back into trying to get pregnant again. I want to know how serious is this cyst on my right ovary and also the lining being to thick than normal. And also test my hormonal levels to see if I’m ovulating because of that depo shot. I told her I regret taking it and she asked why and I told her about it.


So that’s the latest. I’ll keep you guys posted on what happened at my first RE appointment. I never been to one so, lol I’ll let you know the outcome!
Now again. My insurance only covers non-fertility appointments. If I want to get anything done regarding fertility would have to pay it out of my own pocket

Well thats a start Dipar. At least you will know the results after the testing! So for that we are grateful and God is good. Keep us posted!

 

[somedaymama]

Dipar, that's really exciting! My insurance is the same way - they will pay if it is a medical problem, but not if the problem is strictly fertility. I hope they cover everything you need!

 

[Willynilly]

Aster - the necklace is gorgeous!!!
Sayuri - so praying for you...you are gonna be fine!
Someday - YOU MADE THAT?! I'm so jealous of you quilting, crafting girls - I wanna learn this stuff!
Mrskc - stay patient...hoping for good news Sunday!

 

[baby#3]

Hello Ladies,

Just popping back in to say hello. I have been so and nauseous and exhausted these past couple of weeks. Went to the doctor on Tuesday. All is still well. The progesterone is normal now but doctor suggests I keeping taking it until the end of the first trimester. They determined that I was actually a little further along than I thought. So my due date was changed from 8/28 to 8/22.

@mrskcbrown - I just saw that movie yesterday and I totally loved it and agree that it teaches us all a little about not being so selfish. Good luck testing on Sunday - I have my fingers crossed. Send you mucho baby

@someday - I had you down for testing on Saturday - are you still waiting to test? If so, mucho baby to you too.

@guppy - how are you feeling? how was your first scan?

Well sending lots of baby and to anyone else who is TTC or about to test.

Sorry so short but gotta lay down again this nausea is a killer!

 

[somedaymama]

baby#3, it's good to see you! :wave: Sorry you're feeling so sick. Wow, you're already at 8 weeks! I hope the MS goes away soon.
I never did end up testing, from my chart I knew AF was coming, and she finally showed up on Wednesday. So to be positive...I have a good length luteal phase, and I didn't waste money on tests!

Thanks willynilly! Baby quilts are my favorite to do. You should learn how! It's so fun. Anyone want to see some more? These are a couple that I did that are baby/toddler bed sized.

 

[mrskcbrown]

@Babynumber 3: Hi, Im sorry to hear you are so nauseous. I hate that feeling. Its almost like nothing can satisfy it. Yes, I test sunday which seems like a million miles away! I go from being really positive that this is it, to thinking that this isnt it. I wish I could just stop thinking about it!

I go to Virginia this weekend for a funeral. My DH's aunt has passed. Ive never met his family so this will be my first time. We were married this past June 2009 and we live in Mississippi so most of his family did not come, not even his mom. Just a couple of his friends and stepdad. So Im kinda nervous about it but hopefully my cycle will stay away and I can sneak and sunday and we will have our!

Pray for my emotions you all. They are all over the place. I am so feeling that Im out too! I dont chart, OPK or any of that, so I cant go verify with temps and all of that.

 

[mrskcbrown]

My AF was due on sunday. I am a regular 34 day to the "tee" type of girl but when I woke up this morning, there was spotting, so I know AF is here to stay. Two days early!!! I really dont know what to do from this point. Its DH's spermies thats the issue, because I O regularly. We keep trying with the low morphology but nothing. We may move on to IUI but we will have to wait until Feb/Mar due to finances. Its about 600 per cycle, and geez what if we dont get it cycle 1. So we will continue to try but no clomid for me this month. I have been taking it almost 5 months and nothing. It may be making my CM too thick anyways. The metformin i take for PCOS makes me O, so I will just work with that.

I love BNB but I will have to distance myself more and try to remember my life prior to trying to conceive.

 

[somedaymama]

Aww I'm so sorry mrskcbrown. I understand needing to try to focus on life outside of TTC, it's hard when we want it so bad.

 

[Aster]

Oh sorry Mrskcbrown - sending huge
Take some time out and as everyone keeps telling me, if you just relax it will happen. xxxx

 

[Willynilly]

so sorry mrskc. Am so praying for you continuously...we don't know why the wait and issues arise - but out of them comes so much good.

tough times for now...prayers for a sunrise on the horizon soon.

 

[Dipar_Butt3]

Hi Ladies,


Tomorrow I’m making fried chicken and some rice (maybe Uncle Ben’s) I'm in the cooking mood. Or my homemade chicken soup with fresh cabbage, fresh tomatoes anything to get my mind off of TTC. There is more than life then ttc. Yes it's wonderful to have a child growing inside of you that you will soon meet after the 9 month period. But in GOD's timing. I just don't want baby growing. But I want him/her healthy with no issues or problems along the way.

2 full years I’ve been ttc, I think it's time for my body to take a break from it. Hopefully in March, the winter will leave. Sometimes the winter likes to stay around in March!

 

[Guppy051708]

Totally understandable MrsKCBrown
Keep your head up and know that we are praying for you

SomedayMama, You may have already looked into this, but did you ask your insurance what they would cover after you've been TTC for a year or more? (and with "proof" such as charts, etc)? My sister is in a similar situation as you (different issues, but still trying for the same thing, and coverage is an issue too). Anyways, she looked into getting help too (after trying for 5-6months) and insurance wouldn't cover much. But they did tell her that after a year of trying, with "proof", than they would cover most of the cost. So maybe that would help?
The reason why many insurance companies wont help before a year is because studies indicate that even the most healthy male & female will try anywhere from 6 months-one year. Been praying for ya and my prayers are that you will get that BFP without spending all that money and time

Sorry for my absence on BnB lately. I have been extremly tired! Not complaining just explaining why i havn't been around. In fact, i slept from 5pm yesterday until noon today! That is the most amount of consecutive sleep i have ever had!
Both scans (my first a couple weeks ago, and the second one i had on Tuesday) went well The doc was very understanding. Since she isn't actually trained in running an ultra-sound machine, she couldnt figure out how to turn the sound on or get a good pic of the bean, so she booked us for a third scan at 10 weeks! Which is actually like a week from now.

The only issue that came up was my heart. The OB heard a heart murmur - which im not surprised about because i've had that since the day i was born. I was born with a congenital heart defect (PDA,Patent Ductus Arteriosus & a "functional heart murmur"). Basically a PDA means that i was born with a hole in my heart (Which didn't close until i was almost 3). They also say that the left chamber of my heart is large and very thick (not good). Dont know why Im here today, but all thanks be to God. I was reading over my medical records from birth and i should have really died. Jesus was really looking out for me that day.

Anyways she wants to keep an eye on it because she says that usually its very genetic (and she doesn't know what sorts of issues it will bring up with labor & delivery). So she referred me to a cardiologist to check everything out. She also wants a fetal echo done between 20-24 weeks to make sure the baby doesn't have any heart defects. so i am booked for that in April.

Please pray that everything stays "normal" and that im healthy as is my baby Thanks girls

Hi girls

Sorry to just pop in to ask for some help, but I'm having a pretty rough weekend right now. I don't want to go into it but would really appreciate some prayers for myself and dh right now xx
