Lets say these versus every day out loud to oursleves....

Matthew 6:8 – For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.



I John 5:14,15 – Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.



Matthew 21:22 – And all things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.



Luke 11:9,10 – And I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks the door will be opened.



John 14:12-14 – Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.



Philippians 4:19 – And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

This is a summary of a real life story from "God's Plan for Pregnancy"

She was diagnosed with PCOS. Had no AF for 6 months after stopping the pill. Blood tests revealed that she had low hormones necessary for ovulation. She went to naturopaths, nutritionists and eventually a RE who stated that the only hope was IVF. But because she wasn't responding to the drugs she was given she was told that this option would not work.

She received prayer from "New Life Ministries" (they have a website). Verses she read:
Exodus 23: 25-27, Psalm 113, Isaiah 49:23 and Luke 1:37

She stuck scriptures on her fridge and pursed God with everything she had. She spoke to her body and commanded it to line up with the Word of God, which says "by the stripes of Jesus I am healed!" (This part is all explained in the book) Over a short period of time she also received the revelation that Jesus had already obtained her healing 2000 years ago; all she need to do was believe. So she did! Two weeks after this revelation, her AF returned. It was her first cycle in 18 months. She was healed! She went on to have perfect 28 day cycles with no PMS, pain or problems. She was pregnant 4 months later.

So I have a question for you ladies...

Have any of your husbands ahh... felt the "pressures" of TTC and therefore not been able to... umm... perform? :sorry:

This has happened to us the past 2 nights and I'm extremely discouraged b/c I think we missed DTD when I ovulated :cry: which means the last time we baby danced was on Sunday night and if I o'd when I think I did, my temp went up today. :cry:

I'm so discouraged. The worse part was, I was really, really, really angry with him both times. I know it's not his fault and I know the pressures are starting to wear thin on him, but I couldn't help it.

:sigh: This is so hard. I'm so frustrated. I'm crying at everything... I can't even hear a baby these days. I just can't imagine why God is doing this to me... I know it's the wrong mentality to have but I'm stuck in the "God hates me or he would never allow me to go through this."

I thought God "gives us the desires of our heart" Well my heart can only take so much desire for a child before it breaks... :cry:
I don't know if it will help...but instead of 'planning' when to baby dance, and telling hubby when I'm ovulating etc...I just sort of check my chart privately and then work on getting hubby in the mood...without mentioning anything baby or TTC related.

That was until I gave up charting, at least. :p

Where is everyone?

One of the girls on another forum I go to started this thread.... I know, it may sound weird BUT the thread was 5 pages long with lots of stories about women getting pregnant after bringing some pinecones in the house.... It may sound strange but it won't hurt to try!


Pine cones and fertility?...
Ok, I just heard this so I had to share even though I'm pretty sure 99% of you are going to think I'm off my nut lol. This past weekend I was at a spiritual and wellness fair and something I learned that was really quite interesting is that it's old celtic lore that pine cones represent fertility and conception. I'm sure you're asking yourself just why the heck would this silly nonsense be interesting? well....

A few years ago my mother for no real reason other than she loves them started to collect pine cones, quite literally if we walked outside and she saw one she picked it up and it came in the house, we now have honestly hundreds of them sitting all over the house in buckets, bowls, baskets...you name it. The reason this is interesting is because around the time she started to collect them my family hit a baby boom! in my immediate family alone there have been 4 babies in the past 3 years (5 if you want to include the one I haven't given birth to yet) and in my not so immediate family (aunts, cousins) there have been 4 babies and currently 2 pregnancies all in the past 3-4 years, odd coincidence isn't it????? and those numbers are of course not including non-family members, for example women that she works with who have been over to the house and had been having trouble TTC oddly becoming pregnant, some more than once. Me having PCOS and being told for years that I'd probably never conceive my own children and if I did might not carry due to having bicornate uterus and out of nowhere becoming PG twice without ever TTC or going through any sort of treatment....I'm sorry I just found this all very interesting
smile.gif


So for you very superstitious ladies out there, it's very inexpensive and a lot less stressful...surround yourself with pine cones! lol. Ok I'm done rambling I just became so excited when I heard this and sat down and thought about how much my family has grown in such a short period of time. God bless"

My temps just keep going up and up and up each day since I ovulated... I am hoping that this is a good sign. I believe today I am 6dpo. Also my breasts are extremely tender.

I don't know anything about temping, but am hoping and praying for you!! Good luck!!:pray:

Does anyone know if tems that go up but quite a bit each day is a good sign? Like seriously, my temps are on a crazy upward climb.

*SOTFB chants* I will not get my hopes up, I will not get my hope sup, I will not get my hopes up*

Here is a link to my chart. It's quite messy as I missed quite a few days at the beginning and my O day may be wrong since I missed a temp right smack down in the middle...

Well... I think in some of the charts I've stalked, the temps have gone up and up and up until they crashed. So I'm not sure. I don't know what the biological explanation for it would be. Obviously, if you go longer than usual without the temperature drop, that's great.

Your chart does look significantly different from your previous ones, which might be a great sign. I don't mean to get your hopes up or down, but I'm hoping for wonderful news. :)

Yeah that's what I said to my husband. This is definitely not the norm for me. I'll be interested to see what it looks like in the morning.

When do y'all think I should test? Thing is I have a short luteal phase... so based on the past I could easily start my period by wed or thurs. I'm thinking if AF hasn't shown by Saturday I'll test. That would put me at 11dpo
