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

[somedaymama]

My 20-pack of opks came today. Let the obsessing begin! And the rest of you are doing so well remembering there is more to life than TTC.

I still don't know when I should start testing. The package says all of the tests have to be used within 30 days of opening, so I might as well plan to use them all. FF predicts that I'll ovulate between CD 23 and CD 39. So maybe I should start testing on CD 20, just to make sure I start early enough? Hmm, I really don't know. What do you all think?

 

[GirlBlue]

Hi ladies, can I join you? I am a Christian and my DH and I are officially WTT though I am really wishing we were TTC. Hence, I am in need of patience. I think I can learn lot from you ladies and have been stalking your thread for some time now. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

 

[somedaymama]

Welcome, GirlBlue! Not everyone here is TTC, in fact lots have already gotten their BFPs! How long until you get to try?

 

[GirlBlue]

Well, DH is on the fence and we've both concluded it will happen in God's timing. But, our plan is to wait at least until August officially, though we've compromised at NTNP/WTT. We are pretty sure we want a few more months of alone time and we've been filling our days with school. DH finishes grad school in August and I will finish in a couple years time if I go slowly. But we're 30 and have been married almost 4 years so time is of the essence really. I'm thinking I'll take him to Jamaica for his graduation and then maybe he'll be ready to TTC...

 

[somedaymama]

GirlBlue, hopefully he'll come around soon! What are you guys in school for?

Aster, thanks for asking about my classes. They've been going pretty good so far, I'm still trying to get the details worked out for an independent study I'm doing. No one seems to know anything about it, so I haven't even been able to register for it. It's kinda my fault anyway, I'm one credit short for graduation and that's why I have to do it.

I have a really bad stomachache today and I don't know why. I had one yesterday after eating some cheese...I'm starting to wonder if I have a milk allergy. I took a lactaid pill with the cheese because I'm sometimes lactose intolerant, but I still felt really sick after eating it.

Hey RDY2BAMOM:

When you get a chance update my test date to Feb 16! Maybe Ill have a valentines BFP.....

 

[somedaymama]

My DH's semen analysis results came back fine!

 

[im_mi]

somedaymama thats great news! must be quite the weight off your mind

 

[somedaymama]

It really is! As far as I know, the only issue I have is that I don't ovulate regularly. Obviously that is a big deal, but it just seems like it should be easier to work with than spermy issues. Also, when DH talked to them, he asked if the doctor would be willing to give me Clomid without the uber-expensive blood tests. The nurse didn't know, but she said she'd talk to the doctor and let us know. fingers crossed he says yes!! It's a long shot, but we figured it was worth asking.

 

[im_mi]

oh yeah, its definitely worth asking. If you dont ask you dont get! and prayers are always helpful

 

[somedaymama]

very true!

 

[Aster]

Yay someday! Thats great news, and as Immi has said... just ask!

MrsKCbrown - wouldn't a valentines BFP be awesome! I really hope so!

:Hi: Girlblue, nice to have you here! And all that sun and sea in Jamaica has got to bring baby !

Hows everyone else doing?

Well I am at Ov day according to my cycle and have covered every day since last sunday just in case will continue on today and for the next few sdays every day and then I really know I have given it a good shot this month! No excuses!! I have been lying with my feet in the air afterwards (our bedroom is a loft conversion so this is easier!) so gravity is with us too!

I so hope that this is it this month, i have tried everything to the book so if not i know my PMA will wane. I am slightly scared if I do get a BFN but I guess a doc appt will ease my mind a bit. I so want a BFP for my birthday, and i know I shouldnt pray just to benefit me but I have been praying alot. I hate the 2ww.. it is so crappy but I suppose i will just have to wait and see....

I had to say that I did have a laugh at the turkey baster..... you crack me up girl... we gotta do what we gotta do!!

I made hubby do it before he went out for a pint the other day cause I didnt want drunk spermies unable to find their way!!
Its good to laugh i guess!!!

Would love some prayers! I love being a Christian and firmly believe in the power of prayer. DH and I have been together for over 11 yrs and have been TTC for quite a while for #1! We believe that if we just keep our faith and hope, it will happen for us. I'll be sure to keep you all in my prayers ladies. Lot of to those TTC and lots of to anyone else who may be going through tough times. God is good!

 

[im_mi]

aw aster i dont think theres anything wrong with praying to benefit yourself. I sometimes feel bad about that too, so when i pray i make sure that i pray for somebody or something else as well. but God doesnt mind us asking for things for ourselves! Your praying for a baby is showing Him how much you want it and that is a great thing

oooh good luck to you and your hubs, willynilly!! that sounds amazing! lots of prayers coming your way

lots of love and prayers to all of you

 

[mrskcbrown]

[mrskcbrown]

[Aster]

Oh no hon! Stay strong, I believe in you and in His love for you xxx
