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

[mrskcbrown]

@Cheerios, yes I have been told that before when I visited Mexico LOL. One of the senors there told me that when I was shopping in one of the local stores there. Thanks for the support.

@willbamom1day: sorry about af, unfortunately we have to go through those to get the babies we so desire. I am praying for you!

@somedaymama: Im so sorry to hear about your AF as well but glad that you and your husband are in a good place with TTC.

As for me still no AF, LOL, but anywho, church was great today. The pastor discussed Relationship Killers. I needed to hear that. Great message. Another weekend down, everyday is one day closer to summer break, can you tell Im a teacher??? Im SO looking forward to May 21. What a year!!!!

and more to everyone on this board!

hi ladies,
sorry to here about everyones AF. to you all but like mrs kc said we need to get AF to get back to trying to get our BFP.

I know what your are going through groovygirl and mrs kc. While i have been lucky enough to only be interstate from family and not in another country. It is really hard some days and in the 10 years DH and i have been together we have had some major problems but we made it through andd are still going strong. In my opinion being so far away from family also makes it easier to get through the tough times because you can't just go home to mum, sis. You have to try and make an effoort to work through things which means that you are always putting in that extra bit of work on the relationship because there is no easy out.

Can someone tell my what an EPO is cause i have no idea?????
Well i'm on CD 7 now, my bleeding has stopped and we are happy to go ahead and start making babies again. I do have to do a HPT tomorrow though just to make sure my hormones are back to normal. Its gonna be kind of hard to do knowing that i'm actually after an BFN this time. I am moving onward and upwards though so here to hoping i get blessed again this month.

 

[somedaymama]

aussiettc, EPO is evening primrose oil. Some people take it to try to increase CM.

mrskc, that message sounds good! My hubby works at a school so I hear you about counting down to summer break!

 

[mommahawk]

Hi ladies! I'm also CD1 today, so I hope my OV watch gets here soon! I've heard of women in the same family having cycles together but never across the internet!! It's strange that so many of us are having similar cycles!

Evie, you okay, dear? Thinking about you!

We sang this song at church today. Love it!

Every blessing You pour out, I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in Lord, still I will say:
Blessed be the name of the Lord

 

[somedaymama]

I LOVE that song!

 

[willbamom1day]

Thank you guys for the comforting words and hugs

mommahawk thank you for sharing the song

mrskcbrown still hoping and praying for your situation - may you be blessed with a bfp at the end of it all

wanted to share a lil something with you all..............

Facing any challenges this week? I will be with thee (Joshua 1:5)

 

[Dahlia]

cheerios

thank you! I think a prayer chain is a fantastic idea!

I am really very interested in Chinese medicine. I went to a TCM practitioner and took herbs for a while last year but I stopped because I didn't feel comfortable or confident in him anymore. I was paying a lot of money towards acupuncture sessions and herbs and he never talked to me or told what the different herbs were or what they were for. I don't think he really listened either. he would often ask me the same question twice and he was busy running around the clinic (from room to room) trying to manage his busy practice by himself! So I got to this place where my intuition (and depleted pocketbook) led me to stop going. Do you know much about TCM? I really believe in it's value as an altenative to traditional western medicine.

I moved to New Zealand from Canada 5 years ago. I moved here to see if I could call NZ home and to build a life with my husband. i understand the challenges of being out of your comfort zone and so far away from your family and friends. it must have been hard for you? You had to deal with language and big cultural changes going to Germany. Where are you from originally? I found it quite hard and NZ is quite culturally similar and there wasn't any language challenges.

enjoy your day cheerios! you're in my prayers xo

Hey groovygrl!

Wow! You also relocated! I was in Canada to study before....at Queen´s University in Kingston. Which part of Canada do you come from? N.Z.! Wow, how do you like it there? I´m originally from Singapore. So do you find NZ is like your home now? Or do you still miss Canada? It was difficult to adjust to Germany to say the least. Really. I´m glad that I´m understanding most of the stuff by now, but I still won´t say that I´m very fluent in the language. Its still difficult to talk in German on the phone. OH and the culture, that still takes adjusting!!! ahh.....

TCM is supposed to work really well, but it really depends on your practitioner. I don´t know about TCM in Germany but in Singapore, you have to be certified to practise TCM and most of the time, its by word of mouth. My mom, who has since passed away, used to go to this really famous doctor who was specialised both as a western medicine as well as TCM. People would go to her telling her what illnesses they have and what medicine they take and she would prescribe some Chinese herbs to support the immune system acc. to the western medicine that they were already taking....needless to say, she had a long waiting list and one doesn´t get an appt with her easily.

Cool! I think a prayer chain is cool too! But need to wait and see what the rest say....and how it can be done practically!

somedaymama - Hey popped by your journal and saw your charts. Your charts look good! You ovulate on the same day most of the times! And I think its great that you can even detect ovulation on FF. I tried it for one cycle but gave up, since it was simply too much work to take my temps AND try to wake up at the same time everyday...since I don´t do that normally, it can get quite tiring....

 

[cheerios]

Oh you know the story of "blessed in your name" right? The writer wrote it after his wife miscarried..... just thought I would add that in.

 

[somedaymama]

I didn't know that, cheerios. It really makes sense though.

It would get tiring to try to wake up at the same time every day if that wasn't your regular routine.

 

[Aaisrie]

I'm still here, just lurking. It's been a tough weekend. I was so sure I would get that BFP, even though I didn't feel pregnant and instead I got AF. I have had horrific bleeding, big big big clots, very heavy, nearly passed out more than once yesterday... It's just been hard. I had to get Patricia to come and get Saraya yesterday because I could hardly stand to even look after her.
Hope you guys are all okay

 

[Sayuri]

@grovygirl all is well sorry tool me long to answer! eating alot!

 

[somedaymama]

So sorry Aaisirie.

 

[mrskcbrown]

@aaisirie: So sorry to hear about that nasty AF!!! I cant believe it was so heavy. I like that new pic of you and your baby. SO cute.

Hope everyone is having a blessed day. Another day no cycle, day 12 now. Go figure LOL.

 

[Dahlia]

Hello! How´s everybody? I´m not feeling soo good, because I increased my dosage for Metformin again today and each time whenever I increase it, I feel a bit nauseous...or maybe its just imaginery, but its not a nice feeling. Does anybody here have experience with Metformin???

Is anyone still waiting for AF to come? My last AF was like 6th Jan, but don´t read anything into that, my AF is THAT irregular.

Okok, as I was saying, shall we form a prayer chain? Anybody interested? If so, drop me a msg....so far, I think only somedaymama has replied?

Somedaymama - Yeah! I wake up at crazily different times everyday! Yesterday woke up at 6.30am, today at 12noon! hahaha. That´s partially because I don´t work everyday and at different times.....

I take metformin extended release 750mgs, 2 at night and 1 in the morning. Since I take it regularly it doesnt bother me as much anymore. If I dont take it at night with orange juice it will make me feel like I have to throw up. I cant take it during the day because it makes me poop too much and I feel sick. I also take mine inconjunction with clomid or femara, depending on what the doc says. So GL to you. It has made my cycles regular though.
