TTCers Unite! ~a place to chat~

I have the same fear! I especially have it since God gave me such a stong desire to adopt. I keep thinking, what if God gave me this desire to prepare me for the fact that I would be infertile? I don't know... After a year of ttc, we'll have a better answer! It's only been 3 months, so nothing to really be worried about.

I would like to adopt as well... But I still want to have at least a couple of my own. One day I asked my husband "If we can't have our own kids, would you consider adoption?" He didn't seem like he would. If we were supposed to adopt, wouldn't he have the same desire? I dunno... I guess time will tell!

My best friend called yesterday. AF showed up again. They've been trying for over a year now.

To heap hot coals on both our heads, friends of my best friend and I just found out they are expecting their 4th child! They weren't trying, she was breastfeeding so she didn't even know she was pregnant until she was in her 2nd trimester and they are NOT real excited about it. All I have to say is poor fertile them.

Must be so tough.

Am I the only who- ok this is going to make me sound like a total witch... but when I was at the dr;s office the other day I was so angry and bitter towards the very obvious (maybe 17 yearold) girl with her babydaddy (or some man) with a infant... I got so angry because someone like an unwed teenage girl could get pregnant but I can't. They were dirty and the baby was just bouncing around and reeked of smoke

I know i'm horrible but I was so angry to see that!

I get really REALLY mad when I see teenage girls standing in front of HPT rack at Walmart and giggling with their friends about which one to get. I just want to yell, 'STOP laughing! You think it's funny that you had unprotected sex and might have created a completely innocent child who's going to have live with a lifetime of your cavalier irresponsibility?!! You have NO IDEA what you're even giggling about!!'

I think these evil things and then feel bad.

Oooh I totally agree!!!

SOFB and gracefaith, I totally agree with you.

I completely understand your feelings ladies. But it helps to remember that God has plans for you no matter what happens to anyone else. It may not be all roses for them either but even if it is... God is on your team. I wish I could think of something more encouraging to say. I guess its just that my heart goes out to you in this hard time, and I know the devil is trying to take the opportunity to attack you in your suffering... cause you bitterness, sin and drive you away from God.

I probably won't be around the boards so much as I have been. I'd like to concentrate more on home I guess. But please know that many of you have found a special place in my heart and I'm praying for you. I thin kI'll just be checking in to hear all of your good news!

I bought some ovulation testing strips tonight at Target, in preparation for the end of next week when I am due to start ovulating

I've never tried them before so hopefully I can figure it out and test correctly

I found them to be so confusing...according to the box a 'faint or pale line' means not ovulating....a 'darker one that matches the control line' means you are....I gave up.

I have stopped charting anything except my menstrual cycles. That is mainly so I know when to pick up supplies at the grocery store.

So for me right now its...Let go and let God

Wow - tell us how that goes.

 

[Green Orchid]

This whole ttc thing was making me really stressed lately, especially during my last cycle and half of this one. But this week I decided to finally give it up to God and stop worrying about it. I almost don't think about it anymore and I'm totally at peace. It feels much better.

I woke up this morning after dreaming I had a misscarriage... I'm not even pregnant either (that I know of), so it was weird. :o

 

[AngeliaTurner]

I know how you all feel. When church started this morning our pastor's wife anounced that her daughter just found out she is pregnant this morning. I was talking to her a few weeks ago and she was telling me that she didn't think that she would want another child because her 2 year old was such a handful. I keep thinking the whole service about it. Asking God why is it that people that are not trying or really do not want a baby right now are the ones that are receiving this wonderful gift from God but those of us who have been trying for months or some years are not. It just doesn't seem fair. I had to hold back the tears the whole service

im not sure if you know this or not but the best time to use ovulation tests is in the afternoon or early night.... not early mornimg like pregnacy tests.

Yeah the instructions said to do it around lunch time. Which unfortunately will not work for me- my boss might start to wonder what's up if I suddenly disappear into the bathroom for 10+ minutes every day for a week

I will probably do it when I get home from work around 630ish

i think 6:30 would be fine.. i know some women who do it around 9 pm and midnight.. it just depends on the person. i tried using those tests last month... i couldn't get any positives............ i will try again this month.
