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

[mrskcbrown]

@Groovy, 30 cycles is a lot!!!! You will get your BFP and even when those 30 cycles are up, you all will continue to BD, so you never know???? Or will you be strictly using protection during that time after 30 cycles??? Thanks for the support, maybe I will get a BFP after all???? Who knows????? Im praying for you as I know this is a tough time for you. You will get it though, I just have so much FAITH in that!

Praying for blessings for you and across this board!

 

[groovygrl]

thanks for the encouragement!

I will pick up soon just frustrated that our next shot not till the end of April 'cus DH away during fertile days in between. DH and I originally talked about permanent BC around that time after 30 or so cycles. We feel that if we haven't acheived pregnancy in my 43rd year, we'll move forward with a different vision. Don't want to be the 50 year old mom at the kindergarten picnic, you know?
Not just that, we've also been holding off on alot of big decisions because they depend on whether or not we have a baby. you're right tho girls I have to have faith that HIS timing and plans for us are perfect. just really hard sometimes. DH and I didn't sort ourselves out till I was 36 - I held off on TTC until we got married, (I had to move from Canada first, ha!- a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do ) then sort out a job, a house, etc. and next thing I know, I'm 40. YIKES! how the heck did that # creep up on me!

DH has a DD and I feel so blessed that she's such a big part of my life! I'd really love to give her a brother or sister and I'd really like to have at least one baby with DH. so...try to relax for a month and then pray on the

xoxo girls - finger's, toes and can even cx legs ('till april anyway) Okay Lord, bring on the BFP's

I know how this goes. We plan our whole lives around this, then just have to sit around and wait for it to happen.

I hope you don't have to wait long at all for your little baby.

 

[groovygrl]

ya the is a frustrating one when it comes to these decisions! Even though I get impatient with DH's 'conservative' approach, I know it's really wise.

...there by the Grace of God go I... back to circle-ing days on the calendar

Ok I gotcha. I believe if you got BFP last time that you will get it again very soon! You are going to get a sticky BFP this year, im praying for it!

 

[groovygrl]

Mrskc wow AF is 4 days late, I pray this is the month for you

Groovygirl I totally understand how you felt yesterday, I was feeling the same, but had a bit of a breakthrough on saturday (found this group ) I went to church yesterday and had the most amazing time, was practically dancing in the isles during praise and worship.

As for holding off major decisions that has been my life for the last 6 cycles. I've been holding off changing jobs, don't book holidays or commit to anything too far in advance, i even stop going to the gym during the 2WW just incase I over do it But one thing that is sure to cheer me up is shoe talk

I hope everyone's day / week has started well. May God's blessings be upon us all

Morning all!!

Mrskcbrown When are you testing again?!?! I'm on the edge of my seat here!!

Groovy that must be heartbreaking but as someone posted recently:

They began to tell Abraham, next year at this time, Sarah would have a baby. Sarah was listening just inside the tent, and laughed.

"After I have grown old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"

They asked why Sarah laughed? Does she not, know anything is possible with God?

Sarah denied she laughed. But the men said, "No, but you did laugh!"

Then Sarah did conceive and bore Abrahm a son. She called him Isaac. Sarah would love her son very nurture and love him all of her life.

All things are possible through Him!

My temp had a beautiful spike to it this morning, I know the one a couple of days ago was because I was at Patricia's house and her heating is way higher than mine and yesterday I had to get up earlier than usual to see to Saraya so it was lower than it should have been but today's is REAL!

 

[somedaymama]

Well my temp went UP this morning, but I still got a bfn!

I added a couple of temps to my chart on CD 25 + 26 (on the days I didn't temp) so I don't have to keep counting dpo. So, I could actually be up to 3 more dpo than my chart says, but at this point I don't think so--surely by 18 dpo I would either have a period or a bfp!! right?

 

[Aaisrie]

I have seen a few charts on FF which people didn't get BFP until 19DPO... so it's possible! I really hope this is it for you someday, I don't want to get your hopes up either though because I know how it makes it worse

 

[somedaymama]

Thanks Aaisrie. I just don't know what to think because my LP is usually only 13 days, and usually by now my temp is going down, not up!

Your chart looks great!

beanni, shoe talk always cheers me up too! I did actually find some yesterday. They are beautiful, and have a much more conservative 3 inch heel.

Have a good day everyone!

 

[Aaisrie]

Someday we could (as well as Mrskcbrown hopefully!) be moving into the first tri soon!

 

[Dahlia]

Someday - wow, your chart looks amazing. I'm blown away that it was still bfn...this chart is not consistent at ALL with any of your others. when did you get your bfp before - how many dpo? do you remember?

Mrskc - still thinking of you, wondering what is going on, and praying. I hope the both of you are just "late developers" on the hpts!!!

Groovy - oh, I'm so sorry for you, hon. I'm sorry, but I need a bit of a review on your fertility health - is everything looking good for you other than the fact that you've not gotten the bfp yet? are you temping/ov predictor kits/etc? are you sure of the fertile days? I will say that I used the ov watch this month and it lowered my stress level to about '0'...dh and I are wondering if me being stressed about ttc each month, plus making him stressed could have a lot to do with our bfn's so far. anyway, just trying to help. hugs.

Well, I wasn't charting then so I don't know exactly--I think I was about a week late. I was in Chicago away from my DH so I didn't test until the day I was going home. So that's no help.

 

[somedaymama]

mrskc--anything yet???

 

[mrskcbrown]

Hi all! Well so far nothing, AF is 5 days late. It angers me because I know that I ovulated around Feb 1-3 because I get ovulation pains. Maybe they were fake this month, even though they come at the same time every month?? SO I am 5 days late and I call the DR, (my reproductive endocrinologist by the way) and she tells me to wait a week, retest and then call her!!!! No blood test, nothing. She says we will make another move if no period at that time!!!!

I dont know guys! Im thinking Im just out and my cycle is just taking a longer than normal time for AF to come.

Thanks for the prayers!

 

[mommahawk]

Hi girls!!

I'm so glad to get on here and read all the updates. I've been stressing out planning our school for next year (and future years, as I'm an obsessive long-term planner ), then my hubby took me to a city about an hour and a half away for a night and day away from the kiddos for my bday! We spent all day in bookstores! I know, we're nerds.

Mrs.Brown & Someday...OOOHHH, my fingers are SO crossed for you! I hope this is it! I know how frustrating and nerve-wracking it can be when you're expecting AF and she's MIA.

Dahlia...So, it looks like you ovulated a couple of days ago? Maybe you'll get the crosshairs tomorrow? That's awesome that you used the Ov Watch--I guess it was very accurate?

Welcome to the new girls!!

Congrats, Guppy!! It sounds like your pregnancy is developing just beautifully!

I'm on 8dpo, and it looks like we got a couple of good tries in this month. I O'd on CD11 again this month. I started taking the B-vits only every other day trying to keep it from affecting my cycle anymore. I haven't been able to get to the store to buy B-50s which I'm planning on switching to to just maintain what the B-100s did. I've had sore bbs since ovulation, so I was trying not to look at it like a sign, but I noticed today that they are a little bigger. But I also think Guppy's right what she said about symptoms--I think that many (most?) women don't really get any true symptoms until 6-8 weeks (and I was the same with all three of my pregnancies). So, why do I even bother worrying about symptom spotting!?!

I'm feeling okay about my chances this month, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up...the last few months have been pretty hard realizing that we're doing everything we can for many months and still no BFP. I remember my GP telling me last summer when I just mentioned that we were trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant: "Well, since you already have three, there shouldn't be any problems with your getting pregnant." Thank God that He's in control, though, and not me!!

In our Bible study this morning, we read this verse: "Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, 'I have acquired a man through God.'" It was a good reminder for me that it is through God that we are blessed with children. And whether the Lord gives, or whether He takes, I still will say: "Blessed be the name of the Lord."

 

[somedaymama]

Hey mommahawk, I was just thinking about you! It sounds like you've been busy! Another week or so before you test, right?

 

[Aaisrie]

mommahawk there is a hormone called EPF which can explain very early pregnancy symptoms - I had morning sickness with my daughter from 1DPO!

 

[Guppy051708]

Cheering you girls on!!!
