Re: Trying To Conceive A Child? TTC by Fvine: 11:15pm On Mar 12, 2016 |
MamaJesu:Thanks for sharing openly and in details with us. The learning for me is no matter what you're doing or not doing, make sure you commit it to God for success. Pray and genuinely trust in God. Let God have his way and don't just lean on what you're doing or what your Dr is doing.It's evident that before and during this your successful IVF, you and your husband agreed as one, got closer and put absolutely faith in God, believed him and he came through for you. Perhaps it wasn't so in your previous iui and ivf. MouthAction kills sperm and not good for ttc but I don't see it as a sin though. Also key to note is that there's always God's appointed time for everyone. Some other couple might also do as you have done and if God feels is not the right time to Bless them with a child for a good reason, then he might just withhold it. Take for instance the case of Guiliana Rancic (Ex E! Presenter & Current Fashion Police Analyst, Award Hostess etc). When she was trying for a child and couldn't conceive she felt so heartbroken, later on she was able to conceive and had a miscarriage and that helped the Drs to pick up the cancer she had which if she had carried a successful Pregnancy would have grown and killed her. Eventually she had to go through a surrogate and now has a Son. The Drs wouldn't have been able to pick up the cancer if she hadn't conceived and had the miscarriage. In other words God blessed her in another way that she wasn't praying for or imagined. One cannot over emphasise the importance of prayer but it's also important for us to know that our ways are not that of God and he works in mysterious ways. When I was job hunting, at some point someone ( a church) tried to make me feel that I didn't have a job because I wasn't praying enough and in the right way. Well I followed the person's (church) prayer pattern advice and all but yet no job. Each passing day that I did this and met rejection after job interviews, I always felt depressed and almost got to the point of denouncing that God cares for me, was always moody, it even started affecting my relationship with my DH and other people. Believe me today, I have a very good job and the job came at an unexpected way and time when I wasn't following the "prescribed prayer pattern" , I was just believing God but not doing the "tedious prayers" in the popular expected way. In fact I got the SMS asking me to pick up my offer letter at night while watching Africa Magic and there was a miracle in the movie and I was telling my DH that all na film that I don't believe or if it happens in real life how come God hasn't done it for me. Well that same instant I got my miracle sms. TTC doesn't need emotional/psychological stress and I wouldn't want any Mama going through this or questioning God or doubting my prayers like I used to do in the past each time I get AF. I also did all doable to shrink my Fibroids , drugs, home remedies, supplements, native herbals and what have you before God finally led me to having a successful Myomectomy in Jan and I have no regrets because I always look back and know that I did my best as a human and perhaps God led me through that path to strengthen me or for a particular purpose or to trust him more and let him take over completely or whatever his reason is. Before the Myomectomy, my prayers was usually supplication asking God for a successful surgery. But you know what while praying that way, even with my surgery date fixed, I was still scared that I even came here to ask for more Fibroid shrinking tip to see if I'll find something else to try. Well one day, I was led in my spirit after my prayers to change my prayer to a prayer of Thanksgiving and immediately all fears where gone, I was so bold and confident in God that morning of surgery I woke DH up and was hurrying him up that I want to get to the hospital in time as scheduled before the Dr will go and change his mind. In fact it was like I was going into the theatre to give birth or to collect American visa or something like that, that's how confident and joyous I was. To wrap it up, God is our father and we his children. The way we each communicate with him vary from individual and he understands us and meets us at our different point of need in so far as we're sincere, sinless, above all trust and believe him with faith. In fact in the Bible Jesus taught us how to pray with the Lord's prayer. Don't get me wrong, am not against camps and revivals, far from it. Am for it and also participate but what am against is someone saying or suggesting that you have to pray in a certain manner or place for God to answer. Also note that some of the supplements which Mamas here recommend and encourage are Orthodox and Dr recommended. Also Drs during treatment sometimes try several treatment protocols before they find a combo that will work for the patient. Please am not trying to "tassi" you. @ All This is just my opinion, we're all entitled to our own opinion so please if you differ or wish to correct me in any place where I've erred , do so without malice or insult. Am very open to and love honest and positive criticism as it helps me to learn and grow. Thanks everyone. 34 Likes 1 Share |

I undastand you, Fvine and I undastand MamaJesu. MJesu says go to camp/church and believe cos she got her Bfp there. And Fvine says fine. Its all good but pls do not make women feel if they do not go to services, God wont answer. Others can also get Bfp after using drugs and herbs and procedures that God makes successful. My sisters, I and other women here know and concur that all na God. Its God that answers us in church and its Him that answers us thru other legitimate reasonable means we use. Personally, I hv always prayed that God pls do not allow me start frequenting church programs and go anywhere I hear miracles are happening cos of ttc. I hv prayed and I trust He will see me thru with ease by His grace. I go to a few programs when I can but if I cant make it, I know God still hears me in my prayer closet/house. Mjesu, ur LO shall be a huge blessing to u. *I am a believer o and I love God so much* 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Good morning mamas, the bible says in Ecclesiastes 3:11 dat God hath made everything beautiful in HIS time. God's time not ours. So it does not depend on our prayers, vigils, fast or medications. It depends on God alone but as human we don't just sit and watch event unfold itself to us, we try our part. My hubby did not miss one from d 100, 40 and d just concluded 50 days fast. Yet we are still trusting Him. We give and support d missions heavily and I mean heavily,we are both workers in His Vineyard but it still not His time. Yet we see ppl who do not go to church or mosques giving birth without sweat. I'm simply saying its by grace not dat we merit it. I pray dat ds will be His year for us all in jesus name 23 Likes |

suremum:To the best of my knowledge suremum, IUI is recommended when 1) the cervical mucus is suspected not to be friendly to the sperm 2) when ovulating enhancing drugs like clomid is used( it dries up cervical mucus) and if you've tried pressed and it doesn't help, iui aims at placing the washed sperm cell directly to the egg thus increasing chances of conception all things been equal. And like Fvine said, the male sperm motility and count should be fine. Take care 1 Like |

[quote author=oomiyale post=43715883]It can go up to two month if I did not use anythin to force it to come like herb or go to d clinic except when I was on clomid den but I ended up den with ectopic. Soo I don't want to use it again. Den pls I also notice swollen low abdomen. Tnxe author=Fvine post=43715584] My dear I understand how you feel cos we are in the same boat. Clomid also caused my ectopic pregnancy as well. I used to take primolute N or herbs to bring on a period but my last cycle, I stayed off prim and it came on its on 10 days late(CD40). I can also relate with the swollen low abdomen because I also used to have it too. However, I just recently went for another hormonal assay and I am awaiting results. As for the swollen abdomen, I started stomach exercises at the beginning of my cycle and I have been noticing improvement. My dear, I would advice you take vitamins and prenatal supplements for now and also do a hormonal assay to know your hormonal levels before resuming any hormonal meds that could aid conception. |

Fvine I wish I could like your comment a million times. Personally when I used to read WIDD and the person says 'all I did this cycle was fast and pray or I went for so camp' I used to ask myself if I wasn't praying hard enough for God to answer my prayers. Fortunately for me I used to voice my concerns to my DH who is even more spiritually grounded than I am and he never failed to remind me that even atheists get pregnant. God is the giver of children and at the right time, he would bless us with his gift. Not considering what we are doing or not doing at the time.

mumjk:Sorry you're going through this, some Mamas here have had success in getting a clean and steady flow during period and also relieving cramps by making a hot tea out of fresh garlic and ginger, ground and mixed together. You can sweeten a little with small honey if you find that you're unable to drink the tea unsweetened. You can make and drink from CD 1 to CD 3. Don't take throughout your cycle as even though garlic is good and a cure all, it can prove bad too in high and long doses because it's a blood thinner. 1 Like |

hotmomma: Of course that's not what im saying. I said God answers us at His time not minding what we are doing at that time. Weather praying or not, we would not all have same testimonies. Just like I won't tell someone not to bother wasting time praying and just take 'what worked for me', I would not also tell another not to waste his time taking supplements cos 'only prayers worked for someother'. I hope you understand what im rambling on about We are both fine, thanks dear. 4 Likes |

oomiyale:Skipping breakfast is not the best. In fact it can be counter productive by lowering your metabolism, your BMR & could even delay or completely stop Ovulation. Best is to have a protein rich breakfast that will set you up for success. If you want to skip meals, skip dinner and replace with Fruits (low sugar & GI) or vegetables. Also try to eliminate refined sugar & flour from your diet, eat low carbohydrate & high protein. Take this from someone who has PCOS, has battled with being overweight most of her adult life and tried out several weight loss diets, Cleanses, Supplements & gimmicks. Hopefully your new Gynae will be great & God will bless you through his guidance & care, Amen. |
