Symptoms
Every month I pray that I am pregnant. My husband and I have been TTC for exactly 15 months. We've both gone through testing and everything has come back normal. Before we seek professional help we decided to continue trying on our own for a couple of months. I am 8 dpo and have had some unusual symptoms. I really try my best not to let my mind wonder, but these symptoms I can't ignore. For one I am SUPER gassy. At times, my stomach even gurgles. In addition, I am bloated as heck. I eat and then an hour later I'm hungry OR I just have no appetite. I'm exhausted most of the day and have some lower back pain. Is this my imagination running wild? Or could this be pregnancy? Any one have similar symptoms?
Thanks to all!

I just want to encourage you to trust God with your whole heart and allow him to work out the timing. We too tried fertility treatments (against what I knew I should do in my heart) and the doctors actually stopped our treatments because they didn't see a lot of hope. I was so upset. But 8 months later, God did it his way and we were pregnant. Our daughter is now 20 months and our son is 5 months. I would challenge you to let the Lord handle it. I believe with all my heart that he WILL give you a child in one way or another if your heart is desiring one and you are seeking his will. Typing out things always sounds so insensitive, but please know that I know exactly what you are feeling and my heart goes out to you. I will be praying for you and your future family. :)

Considering seeing a doctor for help sooner rather than later is also age dependent. If you are very young you can give this more time to try on your own. If you are in your 30s you probably should act. You don't want to waste time. It took us 13 years to conceive our first, and it did not happen naturally. After years of trying, 3 failed IVFs, and 1 failed GIFT, we finally succeeded with ZIFT. My age at that time was 36. I hope you will be blessed with a baby soon. The very best wishes.

Thank you for your responses! Prayformiracles: I feel the say way, in my heart of hearts, I know that we will be blessed with a beautiful baby. Which is why we are putting off seeing a specialist, at least for now. While I worry about my age ( I just turned 30 in 2/2014; hubby will be 30 at the end of this month), it's actually not a HUGE concern just yet. My biggest struggle is seeing all my girlfriends get pregnant without much effort. Those that debate if they are ready or not, try once, and find themselves pregnant. Although I'm completely ecstatic for them, I can't help but wonder what God's plan is for us. I'm going to continue to trust in HIM and hopefully these crazy symptoms actually mean something!!! Thank you all again xoxo
