Prayers Please

Hi there, I’m new here.My husband and I have been TTC for almost 10 months. After 2 false positive at the beginning of the month I stopped testing and went and had a urine test done at doctor to confirm I wasn’t pregnant but that if we aren’t by my bday (2/27) that she would put me on Medication for fertility. We are trying really hard and I have been praying over these moments very hard as I’d love to be able to carry a child and raise it in the Lord will. I got alittle discourages after this week because my BIL & his gf got pregnant after 2 months of being together. Well today 1/25/2020, We have done the dirty and used preseed, legs up afterwards and everything. PLEASE PRAY THIS IS OUR TIME. I know it’s in his timing but this would be this BEST birthday present ever if we are pregnant 💙💗Prayers for everyone of you.

Prayers needed

Me and my boyfriend have been trying for months now to get pregnant with no success. I only had two Depo shots and after the last one I didn’t have a period for a whole year. In January of this year I finally got it back but it’s always late. We’re just hoping and praying for everything to normalize and for a baby. I just want to ask you guys to pray for us in the next coming months that we’re blessed with a beautiful healthy baby ❤️❤️

Need prayer now!

Hello this is for all the Christian prayer warriors out there. I am 39 years old my husband is 59 years old. I have had three miscarriages. After my first miscarriage I had a myomectomy to remove a large fibroid.We are going to see a fertility doctor tomorrow an RE for our first appointment tomorrow. After three miscarriages my husband has said we will go get you checked out and if something is wrong then hey we gave it the old college try.Please pray that God can work through these doctors and this appointment to somehow get us a healthy baby. Our funds are very limited. Pray that God’s hand is on us and our appointment and the whole situation and that my husband and I are in agreement as to what the next steps will be! If you would PLEASE POST your prayer of power. Thank you! God bless you!

Needing prayers please

I'm just feeling a little down about not being pregnant yet. My husband and I have been married for 8 years and are ready for a baby. I am 3dpo and praying this is it. I was just wondering if you all could say some prayers for me. Prayers for healing for whatever is causing me not to get pregnant, Prayers for comfort and to understand God's timing. Thank you

Having a hard time being happy for others.

I was just told that my sister-in law is in labor. I was texted about it and I tried my best to be excited for her. I knew this day would come, but I didn't think it would be this hard. My clearly less than optimistic tone has ruffled some feathers. They all asked me why I wasn't more excited. It's been less than 2 months since my miscarriage and it's been so hard. I'm so scared to have to meet this precious baby without thinking about the one I've lost. To make it worse my husband doesn't want to try again for a long time. I'm just so jealous of her and I'm upset that I couldn't have that gift. I wanted it so badly. Don't know how to feel.

could I be?

My period was slightly early this month, but was only one day and medium flow. Not like me at all! Had strange brown mucus for a day and that's it. Now i am nauseous and super sensitive to smells. Have felt odd for a few weeks before "period" and now all this. I have not taken test, because how could I be pregnant? But could I be? I have having discharge that's seems like ovulation now. But could it be something else? I see no point in taking test, but hubby thinks I should. Any advice for my confused heart?

She left a while back. Meaghan kept in contact with her I thought. But I haven't been on the app much so I don't know what anyone is up to! I miss our posts and chats!

Ainslee turned 4 months old last week and I haven't had time to do her 4 month pictures. She got shots on Friday and her legs are still swollen and she has had fevers on and off all weekend so lots of baby cuddles.

Congrats to Melisa on the arrival on her little girl! I hope all of you new momma's are doing well!

Happy 4th!!

Starting Clomid for the first time. Advice?

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a year and five months. So far everything has been coming back normal. All of the tests and his semen analysis etc. Everything is coming back normal. And they don't quite know why we are so far unable to conceive. So my doctor suggested being put on Clomid for the first time. What were some experiences you had with Clomid? What are some things that I should know going into this? And have any of you in similar situations had success? Please anyone with any information let me know. Thank you.

We did three rounds of clomid and iui's with not luck. Hubby has crappy sperm. I had night sweats really bad. As each round happened my side effects would get worse. I didn't have many but I had some serious dryness down there. That's my only complaint. Good luck!

Missing you

I'm missing my baby I lost. I wish the heartache would go away.

Ugh it's a long one.

As of now the baby has a heartbeat but my yok sack is abnormal. So that with the bleeding is signs of a chromosome issue that usually end in miscarriage. I have to rescan in a week but she said to call sooner if I have heavier bleeding. So then yesterday I had a bad bleeding spell again with clotting so I went to the ER. My hcg levels are now 6500. I'll get them checked again Monday. My cervix is closed to I didn't loose the baby. As long as my hcg level is increased today all is still good. I have bacteria in my urine so I have a antibiotic. And I have a cyst on my cervix I'm just wondering if the cyst is making me bleed. The baby has a heartbeat of 144 as of Monday. In still bleeding it's gone from bright red. To brown to red again and then pink. It's been a lot then hardly any at all.

Ruby decided to join the real world on Sunday, 5/29, weighing 9lbs, 4oz! After more than 3 days of intense interventions, I was still only 2 cm dilated and she had floated back up, rather than descended. So I made the hard decision to have a c section. It was the opposite of what I planned. It turns out that it's a good thing I had one because however long I would have gone on, she never would have come down because she got entangled in the cord. They even had to use the vacuum to get her out! During all this, my blood pressure plummeted to 47/24!! And has been ok the low side ever since so everyone is watching it like a hawk. One of the hardest things was that I started vomiting during the c section and didn't stop after and couldn't hold her for hours! One of the nurses said to me after that if this were a long time ago, neither one of us might have made it. Scary! The important thing is that Ruby is healthy and perfect!! 

Heartbreaking

As of yesterday  the baby has a heartbeat but my yok sack is abnormal. So that with the bleeding is signs of a chromosome issue that usually end in miscarriage. I have to rescan in a week but she said to call sooner if I have heavier bleeding. I've been bleeding for 2 days straight. But not in my underwear. Just when I wipe. Not really having any cramps. I went last week for an ultrasound and they said I was 6 weeks. I went yesterday and the baby was still measuring 6 weeks but has a healthy heartbeat.

Gordon Spencer is here! 7lbs 13 oz 20 in and healthy. 

New outlook

I am now 2+ days after having my D&C - I have been through hell the past 2 months (as I'm sure many of you fit this category as well) I had 6 sonos and 10+ blood draws, 3 doctors opinions, and tremendous stress in 7 weeks of pregnancy, leading to 1 miscarriage, 1 emergency D&C surgery, 1 cat scan for lung blood clots, and a hell of a lot of adverse symptoms of anesthesia and upper body pain from the breathing tube in surgery. My body is finally ridding of the anesthesia so I'm feeling better and attempting to go back to work..Some want to start ttc right away, but I was told to wait 3 cycles to get back to normal and decrease the odds of this happening again - and I am completely fine with that. I am starting BeachBody fitness next week, since I've seen what kind of toll this pregnancy stuff can take on your body physically and mentally.. I'm not out of shape by any means but I'm going to be healthier than ever when I'm ready to ttc again. I'm 30, 31 in August, and moving on with me in order to let God do His thing on His time. I'm going to uplift all mommies that have gone through loss bc before this I just never knew.. Couldn't imagine. I want to give hope to those who feel lost after mc - you're found, and you're right where you need to be to pick yourself up and make YOU a stronger you. Make a hobby a priority or start a new project, go back to school - nothing is set in stone. But life is too short to bide time hoping. Show your new spirit to the world and let them know you're stronger than you thought. Girl power, ladies. My heart is with you all and I pray so hard you're able to find a silver lining somewhere - or find serenity and let God show you. 💕

I didn't wait 3 cycles. I just couldn't after all I had been through I was ready to move on. I conceived on my first cycle after my miscarriage and am now 16 weeks 1 day with my rainbow baby!

Miss being pregnant😔

Anyone else miss the feeling of being pregnant after they suffered a miscarriage? I tend to always think about my little boy still kicking away inside my belly or miss having the symptoms of pregnancy like the morning sickness, the cravings and seeing my belly getting bigger is just always on my mind and makes me sad sometimes when I think about how big my baby and belly would be right now. Anyone else with these feelings??

I would just like to offer a small piece of advice: If you have anyone staying at your house after your babies are born make sure it's someone you tolerate well and make sure you make it clear how long it's okay for them to stay at your house. My in-laws have been at our house since the day after we came home from the hospital. My MIL and I don't have the greatest relationship already, but between being sleep deprived and not having spent much time alone with my hubby and new baby, I am ready to just kick them out.  They leave Friday so I'm trying to have patience, but Lord, it's hard. They came here to help and are helpful in all the wrong ways, if they are helping at all.Just thought I'd share.
