I saw this on a church sign on my way to work this morning & had to share:
Patience is Trusting in God's Timing.
Help us all be patient. Have a good day! Sticky Baby Dust to All!

And that is soooo true. It is hard to patient but we should all remember that in God's perfect timing we will receive our bundle(s) of joy. Thanks for the encouragement.

so true, so true,
hard to really trust though isn't it? This is what I've been having trouble with lately. yesterday, I had to leave church because a friend who hasn't been able to concieve told me she's a month preggers... I'm SO HAPPY for them!! I was able to give them both hugs and talk for a couple of minutes about her duedate and how she's feeling etc. My DH even said he could tell I was genuinly ecited for them. At the same time, it hit me really REALLY hard. Thank God it didnt hit until I was behind them in church, my DH knew what was wrong and we just left, took a drive, I cried and he held me and we talked. The whole ttc and IF thing leaves me emotionally drained at times.
I know God's timing is perfect. Here's what I'm struggling with: Do I trust God and not do anything to help myself or do I go with the belief he allowed the medication to be created in order to help us? If I don't do anything to make af start, I'll go for months without af. That's not good for my health either. If I do take the prog. and clomid, it's almost impossible to not focus on ttc.
Is there a good answer?? What do you all think?
I also know God may have a child for us through adoption and if that's how we're supposed to build our family then I know God will prepare us for that as well.
The sweetest thing is, another friend at church knew the news would be hard on me and stopped by last night, thenleft a note when we weren't home. I called her and she was so SWEET! She said anytime I needed to talk or cry or just get mad I could feel free to talk to her. She said it's ok to be upset and she knew I was happy for the other couple. To not feel guilty for crying. then she said, when they were ttc and it wasnt' happening she would buy little girls dresses when she was out shopping when she found one she liked. By the time she got pg she had several in the closet of the nursery. She said she thinks God wants to know you really have faith he's going to bless you and by starting to prepare for a baby, it's a faith in action sort of thing. So, she invited me to go shopping sometime for a baby outfit to have in the baby's room. I'm going to take her up on it. I'm also going to go ahead and get the cradle and changing table my DH's mom used with her boys and start getting the nursery ready. We've been re-painting our house lately and have been talking about the baby room, what colors etc. So I think it's time to start putting talk into actions.
So, for now, we're waiting to see if the clomid worked this month and if I'm going to O or not. Then we're going to continue on with our plans of iui this fall if we can't do it on our own. Thanks for being there for each of us when we're going through a rough patch. I know God has our little bundles ready to deliver when it's time. Thanks for reading (and sorry for!!) this incredibly long post. It feels good to have typed it out.

Hi Magster,
Sorry you had such a rough day yesterday. I didn't mean to bring it all up for you again. Good luck with the Clomid. A friend of mine tried to get preggo for over a year. The first month she took Clomid she got pregnant. She's due any day!
How long have you been trying? I've only been off BCPs since the end of March, so I have no right to be impatient, I guess. It sounds like you have a wonderful DH and good friends. Good luck to you.

Hi Vi
I am sorry that you had a rough weekend but believe me it happens to all of us. Just meeting up with my friesnds who have kids leaves me in tears for hours.
Re your query for assistance to get preggo......i personally think that if a couple has issues which may be solved through medical assistance they should do all they can. I see IF as any other medical issues that needs to be treated. Actually i believe it is my duty to do all i can...with medical help if required to get preggo. Then if it still doesn t happen .........i will leave it to God s hand. However i understand that each and every one of us is different.
I really hope that things work out with clomid and you get your BFP before you know it.
Sending you big hugs.
Amy

Accutane,:wave:
please dont' feel bad. I needed to vent/ share what I was feeling and you simply opened the door for me:) What you saw on the church sign is what we all need to remember.
It doesn't matter how long you've been ttc. When youre ready for that little bundle, you're ready. That's it. I totally understand it can be frustrating if it doesn't happen in just a couple months. Have you been charting? That's the best thing you could do I think. That way, if it doesn't happen in a few months, you'll have a record of your cycles to show the dr and it will speed up help if it's needed.
It's been about 2 and a half years I've been off bc, tracking and not ovulating. We could have already been to an re, but we're waiting to see what happens the next few months and then we'll make the decision to go to an re or not.
Amy:wave:
Keep us posted on the other thread how the 2ww is going for you!
Thanks for the encouragement, it means so much to know there's more of us out there who fall to pieces occasionally:) You share the same opinions as my DH. He doesn't think there's anything wrong with what we're doing, we're simply trying to get my body to work. For now I'm ok with what we're doing too. I don't think there's anything wrong with medical intervention either 99% of the time. The other 1% of the time I let other's opinions affect how I think. That one should accept it, get over it and get on with your life. That's where some of my post earlier was coming from. However, that comes from a family member who has never had a problem getting prego so what does she know anyway!!!
Well, I think we'll all get our BFP'S SOON too!!!:blob_fire And, even if it takes awhile, we're in great company here! Here's to thinking positive!!! :D :D :blob_fire :blob_fire

I don t mean to intrude but since you are sharing what s going on this is what i think.
Each and every female has the right to get pregnant...it s a blessing granted to us. IF is normally caused by some type of medical problems and just as medical issues should be treated so should IF.
Sorry but that 1% makes me angry. It is so unfair of peolpe to comment about ones decisions especially someone who hasn t been through IF.
Vi think about the 99%.......do what you and DH think is best ............think positive.
Here if you need to vent.

Amy,
Thanks so much for the support! You're totally, right, IF is caused by something medical and its my right to have it treated!
btw I haven't told this person we're pursueing treatment either. I didn't need the negative input this time around. I figure I'll tell her when I'm good and ready and hopefully preggers:)
