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

[FutureMommie]

Happy Auntie- glad to know I'm not alone

Willbe- you are so right, and I did pray that she would have a happy baby and that being pg would help her to get prepared to care for the baby. I know that there is something good that will come out of the other than having the baby for her, and I also know that I will be happy for her and supportive of her when she needs my help.

MsrKC you are right as well, my time is coming and I would want her to be happy and supportive of me as well.

Thanks you guys for not judging me for having these thoughts and getting me back on the right track!

Sweetheart, you're so not alone feleing this way - my OH and I waited till we were married and financially able to support a baby before we started TTC, I lost our first three weeks ago at 5.5wks... my brother and sister-in-law had their little girl almost two years ago when they were both just out of university, had no job between them and were in no way settled - she was even on the pill and it just happened. My beautiful niece is 18 months old now, and she was the catalyst for David and Claire to finally get married and settle down - she really is a gift from God. But I couldn't help but feel anger and jealousy towards them after my loss, God heard my prayers and we're TTC again, our m/c has actually made us closer.

I pray every day that it'll be our turn soon - I know he hears me and that whatever happens will be His will, I just need to remember to trust him!

Hiya ladies

FutureMommie - i'm praying for you as i've asked questions as well but it will happen, you'll see

I went for my last scan today to see if i can have the second IUI and i was so happy to see that the 2 follicles grew to (18.7mm & 19.4mm) - for the ladies that does IUI you know they prefer it to be at least 16mm before you can go ahead with IUI. I'm so pleased and thank God for helping me. The last few months on clomid i only had 1 big follicle and i know that 1 is really all you need but i feel more positive knowing that there's 2 this month. I need to be at hospital this wednesday 12:00 UK time for my IUI. Please pray for me and hubby.

have a lovely day xxx

That is great news, praying that your follies grow grow grow!

herewego-thanks for sharing that with me, I know we are going to get our bfp's soon.

I have never heard of maca before, but I just did some reading about it and it sounds great! I love natural remedies, and the site I was just reading on called it a superfood to help your body function properly. I really hope it works for you! How long have you been trying? Is the PCOS diagnosis new?

I was diagnosed 7 years ago. I've been trying to get pregnant for 2 years off and on. I went to see my gyno this June and I said enough is enough, i want to get pregnant and I have PCOS and he said he'd put me on clomid (after he ran some more tests to be sure i was fully healthy) i've been taking the maca for 3 months and i feel so much better because of it. i feel it's made a huge difference and has probably well prepared me for the clomid. i believe God sent me to that health food store to find that MACA...cuz I've never heard of it...but the lady there asked me why I was there and I said "I have fertility problems" and she said "I have just the thing for you" and gave me the maca and said she knew 3 couples that had tried it before IVF and conceived. Here's hoping girls. I know the Lord does everything for a reason

 

[LaraJJ]

Hi all - I'm staying away for work this evening so get plenty of time to catch up!!

Deb - good luck with the dieting hun, I feel your pain! Praying for pounds lost and lots of blessings for you.

someday - a little girl!! How exciting - all those pretty outfits you can buy

willb - hope you had a fab vacation and are suitably rested. Hope all is well with you and LO

futuremommie - I know how you feel regarding others getting pg, it is hard to see God's hand in some situations - but rest assured that His plan is sure and His timing is perfect ( I must repeat that to myself a few time too!!!)

Mrs KC - congrats on 2nd tri, hope all is well with you both

herewego - welcome along! I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, I hope you are doing ok - praying for you for strength and comfort - and your bfp, are you trying again now?

sterretjie - congrats on those lovely big follicles, sounds promising! I've put your IUI date andtime in my diary so can be praying as its happening!! Many blessings.

AFM - I'm on CD30 today, normally have 29 day cycles although last month was 36 days so I'm all out of sync! Trying to wait until the weekend to test if AF doesn't show, as I really struggle seeing those bfn's, but we'll see how the willpower holds out! Not feeling too positive this month though for some reason.

 

[willbamom1day]

future no judging here just lots of support and prayers

herewego Welcome! you will love the support and friendship of these ladies. May God bless you.

sterretjie hun I am so excited for you and your upcoming journey. Praying God is there with you and the doctors and that this IUI results in your miracle

born2be God directs our steps and may that path to the health store lead to a bfp

Lara hope this is a bfp cycle for you

 

[Terangela]

Born2B- I also have PCOS. Clomid didn't work for me. I would always hyperstimulate, but nothing big enough to release. I moved to femara and that was my miracle drug. I felt the same about femara as you do about Maca. I hadn't heard about it, when I started taking it the first time over 5 years ago it was so new on the fertility market that I was my fertility Dr's first patient on it and I was part of an initial trial on the drug. It worked. Tomorrow I will be 13 weeks along with my 3rd. All 3 were conceived on femara and Metformin.

MrsKC- I don't know about you, but I am starting to feel a little more energy going into my 2nd tri tomorrow.

Rdy- Thinking about you and hoping you have found it easy to decide about leading the praise team.

Sterj- I used to always go for follicle scans too. I think I was in shock when the drugs worked for the first time and I finally knew I was going to O that month. Good luck with your IUI! Praying for a BFP as a response.

Lara- I kinda had a feeling it didn't work when I got PG this last time. I got all - opk's and then because of that wasn't sure I even Oed. I then figured that maybe the drugs weren't working this time and all kinds of doubt. My Cy the month before was only 25 days and so I started testing about then this last cy and got all bfn's then when I tested on CD28 after work when AF still hadn't arrived and I had some spotting the day before there it was my BFP. I was a little shocked because of the - opk's. So just don't count yourself out yet.

Future- I think it is hard to be trying and see others not trying get pregnant. The other ladies are right though God has a plan and a purpose. He doesn't reveal it to us. The sermon on Sunday at our Church was perfect for this. I am not good at summing things up. It was about obedience and the pastor was saying sometimes we see and want things and then when we don't get them we feel like "why is God forsaking us?" when God sees and knows all and maybe we have to wait for a reason. He used an eg. about a Shepard on a cliff side and the Shepard sees a lush green field on the other side of the valley. However he keeps his sheep on the other side. The sheep don't understand and if they were to try to go to the other side they might meet their demise. What the Shepard sees is at the bottom of the valley a raging river that will wash the sheep away. However the Shepard knows that the river will shallow and become a small creek in about a week so he knows to wait and be patient to get his flock to the other side so that the whole flock will be safe and get to benefit from the wise choice of the Shepard. Sometimes we see that lush green other side and just have to be patient, understand and be obedient in knowing God our Shepard is looking out for us his flock.

Herewego- Welcome!

AFM- I know it is early, but I am already starting to feel this baby move now. I have felt the baby about once a day for the last 3 days. I thought I felt the baby the other two days, but am certain it was the baby when I felt it today and it was in the same place as the past 2 days and the same feeling. I felt my other 2 at 16 weeks and 14 weeks. This time at 12 weeks and 4 days. I can't wait until it is a little stronger and more frequent. I am also feeling a lot better these days. I have started taking additional Iron and B12 and that seems to be taking away my feelings of near passing out away. Looks like it was anemia causing me to feel that way. 38 more sleeps until I can find out the sex of the baby. (It seriously feels like the anticipation before Christmas as a child for me.)

 

[LaraJJ]

Thanks Terangela, that is really encouraging - and I loved the grass is greener analogy, it is so true! I have always loved the analogy of an embroidery picture, if you turn it over the back looks all messy with different coloured strands leading all over the place - but from the front it makes a perfect picture where all the strands are in exactly the right place where they should be. We see the mixed up strands and wonder where they lead, but God sees the perfect picture that they make

Wow, I'm so glad to see this thread here. I am new here and am happy to join this thread!

I am 37, married 3 years and we've been TTC #1 for the past year. My periods are irregular, so that makes it difficult. My husband and I never wanted children but about a year into our marriage I know God changed our hearts towards his plan for children. We now desire children greatly and I know that if God changed our hearts then that is His plan for us.

It's hard seeing others around me getting pregnant and I have to keep remembering that God placed that desire in our hearts therefore He will fulfill our desires. Some days are harder than others, so I'm happy to share the ups and downs here with all of you.

 

[LaraJJ]

Hi sugarcrystal - welcome along!! This is a great group, and it is so good to be able to share things with each other, knowing that ultimately God is in control.

Praying for you on your ttc journey

Hey and welcome to the group. We are so happy you are here and praying for your ! Have you been tested for PCOS? I too had irregular cycles and that was my issue.

 

[Rdy2BaMom]

Hi!!!

Sorry I have been MIA for so long, my life has just been crazy!! I decided to take the job at my FIL church so I have been busy busy trying to find people to make up the band. Hopefully God will provide the talent I need soon because our first service is Sept. 12th and I only have one musician so far. We have also been working on painting our house, replacing the floor, and getting it ready to sell all while I have been working full time at my other job. AF showed up today, not to my surprise, right on time! So on to another month.

My DH and I have been on our gluten free diet for a week now and he has already lost 7 lbs! Me. . .only 1. . . of course Oh well! He needs it more than me anyway. I am hoping and praying that this will help with our TTC issues.

Welcome to all the new ladies!!! So glad you can join us! This is an awesome group of women.

Well, gotta run for now, have to go run some errands and meet with a potential vocalist for the praise team. Could you all please pray that God will provide me with the musicians I need soon?? It's kinda starting to stress me out. Thanks so much! Have a blessed day!!

 

[FutureMommie]

LauraJJ- That is true God plan is sure and his timing is perfect, I will keep telling myself that

Terangela- Thank you so much for sharing that, you relayed it beautifully and I understood every word.

Welcome Sugarcrystal

I so love this thread you ladies are soooo encouraging, and everyday when I log in whether I post or not, I leave feeling uplifted about something you have said whether it's in response to something that I have posted or someone else.
