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

MrsKC I can't even imagine how you must be feeling, but when you have any doubts, fears or negativity about TTC just confess out loud I want children.. I have a right to have children, Gods says I should be fruitful and multiply because HE has said it i know i can.

Thank you and I will declare and decree this wheneve it comes up!

mrskc I know how you feel! Obviously I didn't have to wait for AF as long as you, but every cycle I wait weeks and weeks to ovulate while knowing it might not even happen. It's hard to even describe myself as TTC because it feels like I'm doing anything!



I hope you get some answers soon.

 

[willbamom1day]

lots of and prayers for you mrskcbrown

Hello all!

So many new faces!! I am glad to see that everyone is doing okay. It looks like it has been a pretty trying and emotional past month. . .wow. . .I haven't been on here in almost a month. I needed a break. . . bad. My DH had a SA done and his count and motility are both pretty low. Needless to say, I was devastated. He is retesting again this week, so hopefully things will look better after that. All of my tests have come back perfectly normal I am very thankful for that!!

We haven't had a BFP in here in a while! I am looking forward to celebrating with you girls our BFP's soon!!

Sorry I have been absent for so long, but I have kept you all in my prayers. Gotta head to work for now. . . but I will be back. Hugs!!

The just got me. Maybe 8 will be our lucky number

Welcome back Rdy2BaMom, sorry to hear about your DH SA, remember it only requires 1 swimmer and the power of prayer is enough to part seas imagine what it can do for your DH's swimmers.

I have a lot going on at the moment and need to focus so will probably not be on here for a while, however can you all please pray for me as I have a job interview on Thursday, and by all accounts its going to be a toughie

GL to you all, and I hope we have a few more upon my return

 

[somedaymama]

Rdy2, good to see you! I was wondering how you were doing. Sorry to hear about DH's SA results, did the doctor have any suggestions? Hopefully the re-test will come back better. I'm glad that your tests came back normal--at least you only have to deal with problems with one of you. I know I was so relieved when my husband's SA came back normal because it meant I was the only problem.

 

[mrskcbrown]

Beanni, I know how you feel right now! You will get your BFP!! Prayers coming your way for job interview on thursday!

rdy2bmom: how are you? My dh is in a similar situation and has another SA this week as well. Maybe things will look up for the both of us. Yes, no BFPs in a LONG time on this board but God is preparing us!

 

[somedaymama]

praying for your job interview beanni! let us know how it goes!

Hi everybody. well, cycle day 2 for me and my first ever appointment with an RE. it went really well for a 1st day, anyway...she was sooooo nice and so was my nurse. that's a good start.

they did an US and she said everything looks great so far - ovaries/uterus show no signs of PCOS...going to get all my bloodwork done tomorrow and an hsg on Friday. dh will get his sa done later in the week hopefully - and by next week we will know if there are any problems. well, that all happened fast.

it was weird being in there b/c I (like all of us) never in a million years thought I would have a prob conceiving. here I am remembering a year ago thinking I'd have a 3 month old by this time...ha. so that part was sad - and I was on the verge of tears the whole meeting. I coudn't believe we were talking about IVF, and IUI, Clomid, Injectibles, and all of these other options. wow.

so, I'm on cycle two with the watch. if all tests come back normal, we will continue on for 6 months to a year naturally until we decide to try injectibles or IVF. I pray they all come back normal! Clomid really isn't an option for me since I am already ovulating.

the RE did say I could stop temping now, b/c I've established that I am ovulating...I think I may stop. originally I was doing it as a method of FAM. BUT, since we apparently aren't very fertile...I don't know that I need it.

to be honest, I am a little afraid of what the tests will reveal b/c we have been having unprotected sex for 3.5 years now...withdrawal method...and I just see the looks on doctors faces when you tell them that...like, that's not a method, and if all the pistons were firing correctly, you would probably be preg by now.

anyway, that's my very long update.

hope you are all well!!!

Happy hump day!!!

I was going through some papers and came across this .............

If you don't beleive you can't receive or conceive

My way is not God's way but if I Seek the Lord and his strength Pslams105:4 Thou wilt show me the path of life Pslams 16:11 as The Lord will hear when I call unto him Psalms 4:3

Hi Mrskc - was just researching sperm motility a bit, in case that may be our prob too...anyway - have you heard of or tried these herbs mentioned in this article?


Are There Herbs That Can Increase Sperm Motility?
While we often think of infertility problems in the way that they affect women, the fact of the matter is that men are just as likely as women to experience some difficulty or another with conception. While there are many more types of problems that can affect female fertility, male infertility is generally due to one problem with the man’s sperm or another. While the most common problem with a man’s sperm has to do with the number of sperm that his semen contains, known as sperm count, a great deal of male factor infertility is due to a problem with the way that a man’s sperm moves, or the sperm motility. Unfortunately, there are relatively few medical options that can increase sperm motility. Because of this, many men have looked with hope to a variety of herbs that can increase sperm motility. While these herbs haven’t been proven clinically to help with increasing sperm motility, some men have experienced success with them.

The first herb that may be able to help increase sperm motility is Panax Ginseng. This herb is thought to increase sperm motility, and to enhance sperm count as well. Lepidium Meyenii, or Maca, is a traditional Peruvian herb that is used for a variety of purposes. Maca is thought to increase semen volume, sperm count, and sperm motility. Polygonum Cuspidatum, or Resveratrol, is an antioxidant that is thought to help the concentration of sperm, as well as increase sperm motility. Pine Bark is another herbal antioxidant that may especially help being able to icncrease sperm motility.

There are other supplements that may be helpful as well. Although they are not herbs, they are worth mentioning. L-Arginine is a natural amino acid that can not only help increase sperm motility by making sluggish sperm more lively, it is also thought to help reduce stress. The mineral Zinc is also important and can increase sperm motility, but it may be possible that too much Zinc could actually have the opposite effect, and increase sperm count but actually reduce sperm motility.

Hi ladies, I thought I would come in here and say hello!

I am just started in my TTC journey and I am praying hard for a baby to come quick, alhough I know it will more likely take a few months before it happens!

I work full time in a Church and obviously the fact I am TTC is not public knowledge, only my close friends know (not even my boss knows actually) but there is a general perception that if you work for a church you must pray for stuff and be given it straight away which bugs me in general (if I'm honest) and so I am hoping that your girls can join me in praying for a bean!

Thanks girls

Jay

 

[somedaymama]

Welcome jay_elizabeth! If only it were that easy! Sometimes God's answer is to just *wait* and it doesn't happen right away. Hopefully you won't have to wait long though!

Thanks for this great info! Although my DH has morphology issues. Everything else seems to be OK. We go for another semen analysis on Monday the 15th, so hopefully this will be a good one. Im praying all is well with you and DH's tests as well.

Welcome Jay_elizabeth! God will bless us when He is ready, although we want it so quickly. I wish I could live by this. Prayers are coming your way!

@everyone: I just found out that a TTC friend of mine on FB has gotten her BFP. I am so extremely jealous. I need prayer because God doesnt want us to be jealous or covet what others have, but I want it so badly. I also need prayer because I wanted to just say, "who cares" when I found out. Sometimes I just want to scream it, "WHO FRIGGIN CARES"!!!! My eyes are watering because Im so angry. I need prayer for this emotion today as well!!! I need much prayer, because Im envious and starting to feel hate!!!

Sorry I had to vent!

 

[willbamom1day]

jay Glad you found us. I agree with what someday wrote - sometimes we do have to wait. I will be praying for you. May you soon be blessed.

mrskc I was once told the quickest way to get your prayer answered for what you want is to be happy and pray for someone who already has it. Praying for you

as for me I am sleepy so gonna go take a but wanted to share this with you.....

when we believe, truly believe, that is when it will happen

 

[somedaymama]

I know the feeling all too well mrskc. Praying for you!
