I was having a "moment" earlier of being way jealous of someone who announced a BFP and decided to listen to some P&W music (Third Day, Casting Crowns, and Jeremy Camp). It helped! It was a good reminder that a baby will happen in God's time and to focus on him instead of myself and what others have that I don't.

Hi All,

Been a while but really struggling with finding much time to come online.

Willbe glad you feel more comfortable. Take things slow to get yourself more comfortable and most importantly trust in the Lord that all is well.

Deb - Sorry to hear things are hard at the moment. Will be praying for you

Amen Cornbread. Your blessings are coming, and when God does bless you it will be beyond what you would even think to ask for.

Hope everyone else is well.

Deb, what's wrong?

I think everything's geting on top of me. I know compared to what some people are going through it all seems trivial, but it's just all piling on top of me

Still struggling with hubby's azoospermia and feeling in limbo whilst we wait for the SSR

Finding it tough dealing with hubby asking all his family's opinions (and them giving them!) on the option of us maybe having to consider using donor sperm

Feeling totally rejected that hubby is even less interested in making love since we had the news about the azoospermia. There's been NOTHING since end of March and if I suggest it he says he just laughs it off and says he wants to get the SSR sorted. I feel totally rejected! I have tried really hard to back off since the azoospermia was diagnosed as I'm sure it was hard for him to deal with, and I have been nothing but supportive, but newsflash!!! ... I have needs too!

I know he has thyroid problems and his testosterone levels are low and he is waiting for a blood test to recheck to see if his thyroid meds are helping and to double check his testosterone, but he seems to spend his life glued to the sofa watching TV - and I swear he has watched pretty much every damn world cup game - I can't take the noise of it any more and just come upstairs for some 'me' time when the footy is on so feel I don't even really see much of him right now.

Plus I'm worried about WHY his hormone levels are low. Dr says it can be a problem with his pituitary gland and that he may need to go for a scan and see an endocrinologist

I feel so poorly with my hayfever that I'm hardly sleeping and no medication seems to help - plus I'm well aware that it makes me extremely irritable

I have had an abscess on my gum for 5 weeks now which just isn't going away. It's been incised and it hasn't given me any pain which the dentist can't understand, but is annoying as I have a lump in my mouth. She said I shouldn't need antibiotics because my body had localised the infection itself, but now it's still there, she has writeen me a prescription for some. I'm debating whether to take them or not as they make me feel really rough and will set my IBS off for weeks so what's the lesser of 2 evils?!

I have so much work to do at school ready for parents evening and new parents evening, plus assessment records to update and I'm so tired!

My attempts at losing the weight I need to for ICSI have flatlined. I'd lost 7 lbs in 3 weeks and nothing now in the last 2 weeks. I need to start going back to swimming and the gym which is a 2 minute drive down the road, but need someone to go with. We pay our fee there every month and never seem to have the time or energy to go. I need some motivation! I have told hubby this and said even if he doesn't want to go for himself (which he seriously needs to!) I need him to come to support me - he can't be bothered

And when I dropped the second glass in 2 days last night and hubby just sat there whilst I'm surrounded by glass, pop and the dog and with bare feet and I lost it and hammered home the fact that I was struggling with life right now, he just rolled his eyes at me. I'm sure he things I'm being a drama queen.

I love him to bits and I know he loves me, but I just wish he'd show it a bit more and give me some support.

I'm sorry for the essay, but maybe it will do me some good to get it all of of my system. I don't feel like I have anyone else to talk to.

 

[Cornbread]

Wow, that's a lot to be dealing with all at once. I'd be pretty irritated too, and don't blame you one bit for losing it when he just sat there when you dropped the glasses.

Any time you need to vent, we're here for you and you can pm me if you want. And you certainly shouldn't trivialize your feelings "I know I don't have it as bad as some do". Whatever you are feeling is totally legitimate and nothing to apologize for or look down on because you think it's less important. God certainly doesn't compare and say "Well, her struggle is worse so it's more important than his". Our Heavenly Father loves us all equally and we and the things we fight to deal with are all equally important to Him.

 

[willbamom1day]

Deb and cornbread

All things happen for the good of those who love God and from what I can tell you are some God lovin women

God knows of your strugles - He knows everything Continue to pray and always believe and just know you are a step closer to God's blessings.

We are here for each other and I love that so take advantage of it - sometimes the best thing we can give to somone is prayer and I continue to pray for you both

God bless

 

[mrskcbrown]

@Deb: Wow, you are dealing with a lot. Continue to trust God.

 

[baby_dixon]

[somedaymama]

[willbamom1day]

Welcome baby_dixon glad to have you here and will add you to my prayer list

mrskc thinking about you and your appt today

This evening we are taking my mom to dinner to give her the news and I can't wait to see the look on her face

"But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind"
(James 1:6, NIV)

I hope everyone has a blessed day

 

[Rdy2BaMom]

Good evening ladies! Sorry I haven't been on here much. I've just been working so much, and I got a new cell phone so I have been playing on it lots so I can figure it out.


Guppy-glad to hear that Isaiah is head down. . praying for quick and easy delivery for you!

willbe-sorry you are still having asthma problems but I will pray for your healing and in the meantime, that God will protect your baby from anything harmful from the meds. How was dinner with your mom??

Lara-hoping and praying for your birthday BFP

Mrskc-how did your scan go? Hope all is well with you.

Hello babydixon!! Glad you can join us! I just finished my first round of clomid. . .hope it works for you!

Deb-I can't even imagine how overwhelmed you are feeling dear. Praying for peace and wisdom for you

Cornbread, beanni, dahlia, isi, terangela, someday -how are you all doing?? Hope all is well!!

AFM-its been a long week. . . I guess you could say this is my "Friday" since I worked this past weekend, but I still have 2 more days to go. I feel like this week is never gonna end. . .

Remember how I had been dealing with headaches?? Well, I went to my eye dr today because my right eye and right side of my head has been hurting for the past couple weeks, and it ends up I have a staph infection in both of my eyes! What!?!? My left eye only has one spot, but my right eye he said has about 5 spots in it. So, I have steroid eye drops until Friday when I go back, and if that doesn't work, he will have to put me on something else. Geez Well, its getting late. . so I am off to bed for now.

Quick prayer request for me (other than my infected eyes ). . . I am still lacking a desire to be intimate with my dh, I'm just always soooo tired. I have been praying like crazy that my desire would be restored, but would appreciate my sister's agreeing with me Thanks in advance! Have a blessed rest of the week!

 

[baby_dixon]

Thank you for all the welcomes
I can feel the clomid working, and today I finally got the starts or a positive OPK yesss! I'm so happy!

 

[Terangela]

I don't have much time, I need to go to bed. We told both of my SIL's today that we are expecting... and well my one SIL asked when our due date is and it turns out she is one day behind me. Her due date is Feb 23rd. I am so excited for her. Her and her DH are trying to keep fairly reserved about it as they have had 2 MC's. Could I ask you all to pray for a sticky little bean for her and her DH. They go for an early u/s on July 22nd. So we are just hoping and praying to see a baby of the right gestational age and a HB in her scan.

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Hi lovely ladies. Hope everyone is well!

Willbeamom, you have nothing to fear! God is in control.

Deb, you remain in my heart and prayers. It is always darkest before dawn. Your joy is on its way.

Mrskc, how did the scan go?

Beanni hun,

Someday, hope you're doing great!

As for me, I'm almost 100% sure I'm ovulating from my bad side this cycle. So officially considering myself out this month, to avoid heartbreak in 2 weeks. I actually think we might just take a break and do IUI later in the year.

Hi Isi

Don't lose hope yet because God works in mysteries ways. This might be your month

I haven't been able to send alot of messages lately as i've been very busy at work but i'm thinking of all the ladies and keeping everyone in my prayers.

Have a lovely day xx

 

[somedaymama]

Isi, thanks, I am doing great! Sorry this already looks like it isn't your month.

Terangela, how exciting for your SIL! Praying for a healthy sticky baby for her.

Rdy, wow! A staph infection in both eyes--no wonder you've been in pain. A few weeks ago my SIL's sister had an ulcer on her eye as a result of an infection. I hope you feel better soon!

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Thanks Sterr and Someday . But unfortunately, I really do feel I'm really out.

So sorry about the eye infection, Rdy! Gosh, you must be in agony. Get well soon, hun!

 

[willbamom1day]

Remember sunscreen isn't the only thing that protects you - God
He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him Proverbs 30:5

rdy2b you poor thing I hope it heals quickly. Praying for you and your hubby.

baby dixon many blessings for a + opk

Terangela God has your sil and her lil one in the palm of his hands

isi thank you for your kind and true words Please don't count yourself out - God works miracles even from our bad sides I got my bfp on the month I thought I was sooo out as I had nothin but my temp to go off of. Prayin for you

sterretjie glad to see you pop in been thinking about you - Hope all is well

We didn't get to tell my mom lastnight as she had something come up with her business and had to cancel guess it wasn't the right time to tell.

Hope you all have a blessed day!

 

[mrskcbrown]

Hi everyone!

@Isi: Im praying for you and if you BD'd with DH then dont give up hope just yet. Anything can happen. God is so amazing. He can go through bad sides and make them right.

@Rdy: Im already praying for both of your issues. I pray that God blesses you and gives you back that desire.

@willbeamom: The right time is coming to tell mom. I had to tell my mom over the phone because we are miles apart. She was still ecstatic.

My scan went really well. The baby is measuring right at 6w6d today. The heartbeat was 130bpm, we didnt hear it but we saw the flicker. It was awesome. DH was in tears. I would post the pics but Im out of town visiting family. I will try to do so later. Im already busting out of my jeans, my tummy is so tight. I dont know whether to get a belly band, or buy maternity jeans since I will just get bigger. The DR says I may get bigger quicker due to the previous pregnancy. Well enough about me, I am praying and hoping you all have a great day.
