Hi all,
sorry for slipping off the face of the planet - and what a time to go missing! WOW!!!!
Jazzbird... yay you! I am SO stoked. I too have lost 2 wee ones, and even with my gorgeous dorta in the middle, I find it really rough to rest in God's tenderness, knowing that He is in control, no matter what. I do just commit this tiny babe to his/her loving eternal Father, asking that He'd knit her/him with such love and mercy, blessing his/her mommy, and filling you with confidence and assurance that comes from His Spirit alone. Bless ya socks off!!!!
Well done, Carrie! Enjoy this exciting time and know God's grace each day, I pray.
I love spring - where to start!!! So glad your blood test went well. The name thing is unsettling isn't it? My DH speaks about the name "Samuel" for his son (who we don't have!) and even though I like it just fine, it doesn't make my heart soar, and hey - we're Christians. No matter where we go, there's always gonna be a bunch of Samuel's around (there's more than 7 in our church and social network - all kids). Our dorta's name (Miranda Louise) was a real gift from God. We had it well before her conception, and never had another name - no back up boys name either. If anyone else had used it, I wouldn't have cared (okay, I would have cared BIG time, but I still would've used it!!!). LOL.
I just wrote a huge post about names, but decided to wipe it - after all, this is a thread for prayer. Still, if someone starts a thread elsewhere (and I find it!), I've got a hundred stories!
Nice to meet you, Munchkinprincess. I pray that the Lord will open your womb, and also lead you to exactly the right process for you in order to bring about the blessing of a child.
As for us, we started temping this month for the first time. I am using paper charts, Fertility Friend and (just for good measure!) Ovusoft charts, too. All this in order to find out if I'm actually ovulating. Both software progs say I have, but disagree on the date. Time will prove it I suppose, but at the moment I am (perhaps) between 7 and 9 DPO. I don't plan on testing until at least 14 DPO - so maybe this time next week.
Please pray, if God leads, that my husband and I will know His peace and contentment, whatever the circumstances. We eagerly want another child, actually more than one - but not all at once!, but we want God to be in the driver's seat. Pray that He will help us to be the best parents we can be for our dorta, and that we would know and walk in His plans for us.
Thanks so much for your prayers,
Ruby

I went on a women's retreat this past weekend and finally shared my fertility problems with the women that went with me. I was kind of keeping it to myself because it is such a personal issue. But, now that I have you all praying for me and also those women, (and myself of course) I know that I have a strong support and prayer group. The one woman was telling me about her niece and her problems, which are similar to mine. I love hearing stories where a woman is told by her doctor that she will never concieve and they do in fact concieve. It gives me such hope...not to mention the hope that God gives me. 
So, I'm making it through the week.
