@mumRedeemer our birthday have reach that is why you have that feeling abi?i too had it or do have it wen my birthday is approaching.I just console myself that it will soon be over and besides it is the person that is alive that can give birth.
@Pampharez don't feel bad,if i write my own the pages of this thread will run.Rejoice with her having it in mind that God is closer to you than you think.
@all,pls,lets endeavour to watch tonight's HGS of the rccg in the various viewing centres and then Power Mush Change Hands of Mfm tomorrow(remember to go with a bottle of water,your pix and a article for your baby).God is indeed with us.
@Benignasweety thank God it ended in praise,i slept off with phone in my hands uptill when Tydi gave update and since then,power supply has been really bad.Welcome to Baby Zion....he will fulfill his destiny and open doors to your family.

Don't tell me today is unhappiness day.

I am happy because I am alive in the land of the living.
I am happy because I have two legs and can walk. I have eyes and can see. I am happy cos my leg is not hanged in orthopaedic hospital. ( I had a neighbour that was shot, from one surgery to the other. His life is on standstill now).
I am happy cos I have a family that loves me. Even though some friends don't tell me when they get pregnant, its not because I am TTC. Ppl don't announce their pregnancy these days. I spoke with a friend last week and this week, she sent me text message that she has put to bed. Its not because I am TTC.

I am happy cos I have seen ppl that have been TTC for 20 years but are now parents of children. Today, they don't even remember their unhappy days.

I am happy when I see my AF cos it is proof I am still fertile. It means i can still try again.Menopausal women don't see af. When you look for AF while u are still TTC, u will understand your AF is a blessing.
My happiness is my responsibility. I have the power to chose to be happy or not to be happy. I chose to be happy!

@mumredeemer and all other Mama's on this thread pls let's be happy with ourselves, truly looking back at it all, one tends to be unhappy, but to what end, look mama, very soon we are all going to be called mother of beautiful and handsome children. TTC is not easy on any one, I tell you, so many things makes the journey a hard one to bear, but be not dismay, Christ has conquered TTC for us all on the cross of Calvary, be calm.

Pampharez:
I AM SO UNHAPPY ... today i found out that one of my staff's wife in the village, who is also my neighbour is pregnant, has been pregnant and far gone ... she was actually hiding her tommy and always chatting me over the fence ... i saw her today and almost reeked in jealousy ... thats not all o, in my three yrs of ttc, the woman has conceived twice and has 3 kids already , this pregnancy being the 4th ... young married women for villa don carry bale finish , I'm even scared to be seen in a common place nor visit market square cos i find my face is on my stomach, greet them gd morning and they're answering you by looking at your tommy,... can't wait to get out of here tomorrow... meanwhile, i tested and it was another BFN... @mummyredeemer...that your post is a simple truth to the story of my life ... nothing interests me any more except how baby can enter this bele. not even my looks nor do i want to go out sef... all my friends have departed ... so I'm always by myself when hubby is at work ... i just feel like running and telling hubby to go and marry another wife , now i know why sarah encouraged abraham to follow another woman ... ttc no easy at all

Sometimes, evil thought creep into our mind. Its the devil ministering to you. Don't give him an ear. When you feel disturbed, you are nearer to your testimony than you think. Destiny children don't come easy. Samson , Samuel,john the baptist etc didn't come easy.

See curvylicious, she almost wearied herself out when her testimony was ripe.
It is well. Rejoice, I say rejoice . your testimony is nearer than expected.

@mumredeemer & pampharez, those write up are deep! Had to hold back my tears because I'm in a bus. Every TTC woman has a story to tell, I was taunted yesterday night but what can I do than to hold on to God.

I pray that the One that existed before the creation of heaven and earth, the Beginning of all beginning, the impossibility specialist, ocean divider, the one that uphold the heavens without pillars, the one that created the deep will make us happy. I don't know how He will do it but the scripture says He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. I pray that His word will come to pass in our lives in Jesus name.

Let's keep hope alive!
Love you and e-hugs

Mamatwiny God bless you and reward you for the courage to speak right words. How forcible are right words!
We learn a lesson from the Israelites' wilderness journey that God hates murmuring and complaining.

Instead let's be like Joshua and Caleb. They said to all of the Israelites, “The land we explored is very good. If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land and give us that FERTILE land. Don’t turn against the Lord ! ...”Numbers 14:7-9 NCV. And they received the promise.

God was so angry at the Israelites that he swore: So tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says. I heard what you said, and as surely as I live, I will do those very things to you:Numbers 14:28
THAT SHALL NEVER BE OUR PORTION IN JESUS'S NAME. AMEN.

One day I overheard someone say, why do people get angry and ask 'why me?' when they don't get something they want badly? She said you didn't ask 'why me?'when you got married, while many others never got someone to say 'hello'. You got a job and can pay bills, while millions are languishing in joblessness and poverty, you're alive and healthy while many are dead or in the hospital waiting to die, and you felt happy while good things happened to you, even though others were not so lucky. Now that it's your turn to face life's challenges, you ask, 'why me?'

Her words shook me and jolted me back to reality. I had to beg God for forgiveness.
We must quit complaining and start rejoice. God's Will is for us to give thanks in everything.

mumredeemer:
Long post alert!

TO THE PERSON WHO TAGGED ME "UNHAPPY"

I was once in a happy place untill ttc gallop into my life unannounced, accompanied by fraustration, depression personal insecurities and others. I could not help but become an unhappy person.
I got my choicest job immediately after school, got my first car and a nice apartment within few months, met my dream husband and got married within a year. Having children is something I always craved growing up, having that dream bursted is in itself an unhappy situation.
I am unhappy because i could not fill that biological urge because my body by default couldn't do something i had always just assumed it would. It cuts deep!
I am unhappy because there is so much negativity, too much stigma n assumptions abt wht lead people to this road. i am unhappy because my struggle has cast a shadow upon every aspect of my life n identity. I AM UNHAPPY!
I am unhappy whn my neighbour sheild her children from me because she feels ttc is a plague or for other reasons best known to her. I am unhappy whn a close freind hides news of her bfp till she delivers n I get to hear from another freind, yet we are chatting almost everday. I am unhappy whn ttc make my loving DH to become a total stranger sometimes. I am unhappy whn i see my DH gazing lovingly at children n i can't seem to give him his own. I am unhappy whn I look at my handsome DH and fear gripped my heart that i may never b able to reproduce his image. I AM UNHAPPY!
I am unhappy whn i av to open my legs to a young male sonographer and ultrasound technitian to check the potency of my tubes and track my follicle sizes. I am unhappy because every AF is a funeral of d babies I never coceived. I am unhappy whn other women discussed their baby's first poo and i av nothing to contribute because my baby is yet to poo. I AM UNHAPPY! I am unhappy because kpekus is meant to be an intimate n tender occurence but in my case, i am forced to kpekus even whn i am sore n not in d mood because i am in my fertile window. I am unhappy because making babies is supposed to be a private affair btw couples, but mine has become a scientific experience, shared with lab technicians, doctors, nurses etc.
I am unhappy because my whole life has become a cycle of waiting, waiting for doctor's appointment, waiting for results n procedures, waiting for drugs from amazon, waiting for my period, waiting n waiting. I am unhappy knowing that there is a possible treatment out there that could help me conceive but i can't afford. I AM UNHAPPY! I am unhappy because my babies keep hunting my dreams. I am unhappy because as painful, frustrating, stressful and emotional as this journey is, i can't seem to give up the hope of holding my babies in my arms. I AM UNHAPPY because right now I am on my cd 40 on a regular 28 day cycle, no Af, both hpt and bpt turn out negative. I am unhappy because I don't knw wht stupid game my body is playing. I AM UNHAPPY
I am unhappy whn u dig up my posts on nairaland n clap back at me n tag me unhappy. I am unhappy because u know my name, not my story, u knw what i av done but not what i av been through. Only I can judge me. I am unhappy because, u might b wearing d same shoes as mine on this journey, untill u walk few months in mine, u av no right to judge me.
Elkanah was worth more that ten sons to Hannah, she was in a happy place but unhappy. Jacob loved Racheal so much, he served 14 years to get her, she was in a happy place but unhappy. She told Jacob to give her a child or she will die, so I am not the first to be unhappy ttc. I am tired of pretending to be happy whn i am not. I AM UNHAPPY because I AM TTC!
But one thing I knw, Jesus came for d unhappy people like me, so that he can make them happy. I know that I will be happy that moment i hold my baby in my arms n suckle her or I will be happy whn I get to see my Saviour in His Glory.

Please, to the Happy People, DON'T QUOTE ME!

HAPPY NEW MONTHS MY LOVELY FAMILY.

i feel your pain!! but i have to tell you this, "as long as there is life, there is hope" ....cheer up ok..God dey!!!

mummykyrti:
na you forget us oo, we dey look you

Honestly, i no forget na just d uneasy way i dey get this whole. I no know say e get anything wey fit dey punish me like this.
How you, work nd dh?

Today, upon a bus I saw a girl with golden hair,
And in my heart I wished that I was just as fair
When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and wore a crutch, but as she passed, a smile.
Oh GOD , forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 legs to walk upon and the world is mine.

I stopped to buy to buy some candies; i met a boy who had such charm.
We talked to me he seemed so glad, if I were late, it do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me, "Thank you, you've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like you. You see," he said, "I'm blind."
Oh GOD , forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 eyes to see the world and the world is mine.

Later that day on my way, I saw a boy with eyes of blue.
He watched the other children play; he did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment, then I said, "Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He kept on looking straight ahead and then I knew he could not hear
Oh GOD , forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 ears to hear the world and world is mine.

With legs to take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know
Oh the world is mine

I stopped for a moment, just look how much I have
Everywhere, in all our lives, these are His signs

Oh GOD forgive me when I whine.
I have been blessed indeed, and the world is mine
Oh GOD , forgive me when I whine.
I have been blessed indeed, and the world is mine
OH GOD forgive me when i whine
forgive me when i whine
forgive me when i whine
oh GOD forgive me when i whine

*modified.
This was exactly what happened to me last week. Its depression and its real. Took some days before I snapped out of it after handing the timing for my conception over to God and watching my favourite action film.
Pls let's try to be happy and grateful...me inclusive. Watch your favourite films, eat, pray, listen and dance to your favourite music , chat with friends (esp ttc or former ttc ones who undastand)...God is in control. Depression go away from us. We are fruitful mothers on time. Amen. (I was already feeling somehow while reading these last two pages).

mamatb , we dey wait you o. #hugs

Mumredeemer, just know that God is still in the business of giving miracle children. Its ok to be real but don't stay too long in the unhappy mood.

good morning, please are there any viewing centres for power must change hands? If no,what channel can I watch on dstv

Please does anybody know where i can get fertile CM from. Online prices seem exaggerated

Thanks my sisters for all ur encouraging words. I dont want to mention monikers b4 i forget some. God bless you all. I was actually crying reading your responses. For those who feel I am murmuring and complaining, though u did not quote me directly, I understand you, and I believe your response is from a good place, i am equally encouraged, thank you. I was actually thinking of why someone would tell a ttc woman that she is unhappy, not knowing or choosing o ignore the many reasons that could make her look or sound unhappy, hence my post. I av so many things I am thankful to God for and things that do make me happy. Happiness is a feeling that comes n take leave whn it wishes. Let's be sincere and call a spade a spade, except you just started ttc, we av all been there once in a while, where ttc hit you so much n u may tend to forget the very purpose of your existence. For those that quoted scriptures, Job complained n argued with God, Jerimiah was a great prophet but was depressed, Elijah was suicidal, Naomi was bitter, i can go on and on, but God restored them all. God understands that we are human, he created us and He knows our weaknesses. I av not lost my faith in God, I know he cares for me and he has a good plan for me whether it ends with a baby or not, his plan will still be the best. In all, God has been faithful all this years. I av not left him for once and have no plan of leaving Him, my favourite scripture is Job 13:15 "though He slays me, yet will i trust Him..
@All, Thanks and God bless you all, do av a wonderful week end. For those who will attend MFM power must change hands, pls remember us ur prayers.

@Pweetymii, you know na na July o. Thanks dearest, i appreciate ur kind gestures n encouragement to us here. God bless you and grant you ur heart desires soon.

Hmnn.. Mama's, it is well with us all o.
God, the same yesterday, today & forever. He changeth not.
All that the Lord does is good so the Bible says. He that is coming will come & will not tarry. May the God of all comfort comfort US all indeed..
Indeed... good girls get fibroid, bad girls get belle.. But shortly God will turn all those fibrosis to fine boys & girls in Jesus name.
