Beautiful Nicole

Every now and then, we do need encouragement n inspiration.

Bless your heart!

;)

Nicole - Thank you so much for those words of encouragement; you have completely changed my mood. I'm in my office bawling my eyes out about your heartfelt words. Like I said earlier, I'm a little sensitive :)

Hello ladies im new here! Im ttc baby # 3! I was recently on the implant nexplanon but had it removed January 21st my doctor said fertility returns quickly and many women get pregnant after removal im hoping Im one of those lucky ladies! My last period was January 10th but since I was on bc I have no idea when I should test! I been having some light cramping , heaviness no appetite nausea and tired but we'll see. Good luck ladies with your BFP!

@Nicole,

Thank you so much for your kind words and that sweet reminder. It is always a battle to be content with the day and not be looking forward to the next "thing," whatever that may be. I think those of us on this board can attest that having a baby is one of those things. I am hopeful that our story will have a happy ending. However, I am working to be content with the days and trust in God's timing. My prayer is that if He has something for us other than biological children of our own that He would change my heart to align with his.

I certainly didn't think when we started this journey that it would look like this - with two babies in heaven and lots of heartache. However, I have grown so much through this experience and I truly think it will make me a better parent. I have more closely seen the preciousness of each life and I believe I will take fewer things for granted. And for that, I am thankful. I have also been able to minister to people because of our experience, and that is a blessing as well.

I am still so sad about our losses and want a family, but in the meantime I am working to be patient, thankful for each day, and trust that God's timing is greater than mine.

And I'm thankful for this group to talk to when I'm frustrated or hopeful. (-:

Tmi question!! What should cm be like when coming up to, ovulating and after? My opks haven't said I've ovulated yet and I'm on day 13 but cycles are all over the shop xx

Nicole - thank you so much for your kind and encouraging message. I hope my children will remember this time of struggle in our lives as a time of building character and patience in the Lord, and will remember me as a strong woman, as you remember your mother. I really appreciate you sharing that.

Koti - so good to see you post again! I completely understand how you feel dear, but am so glad you're around right now. Many and much . I pray you see your BFP soon.

While - I totally agree with everything you said. How could I have even contemplated 16 years go that I'd be on my 9th pregnancy, with only 3 living children? It's beyond my comprehension, and sometimes the days have been so hard. But I must rest in the Lord and wait on His timing. I pray for you as well, dear.

Afm - my numbers came back just a little while ago.

HCG 17,021
Progesterone 18.5

I'll get a call to schedule my first ultrasound sometime next week. I feel good about this, but part of me wishes I could fast forward to 40 weeks and delivery!

@koti I'm having trouble pasting the link with my phone. It's under the forum ttc first child and the thread is: anyone else been ttc for six months or more??

@Rebecca - wow those numbers are really good - your HCG is so high! How are you feeling?

Made my 1st confirmation appointment - February 14th.
Seems like a while away so I hope I can stand it that long. They will do an ultrasound, heartbeat, and general health discussion. I will be 7 weeks, 4 days when I go so I'm sure we'll be able to see our little bean pretty good.

I love reading everyone's posts. I truly am grateful for every one of you ladies in this forum as I learned a lot on my TTC journey. I pray for each of you and hope you all get your 's.

@ All

Of course, this is what we are here for! Support and advice!

@MsFreebs -

Girl...there are not too many things around this joint that are TMI! I would actually like to know the answer to the same question....

I have not temp'd or tracked anything except for symptoms of ovulation, along with estimating its arrival. As far as the CM goes, I THINK I ovulated on Sunday because of cramps, increased CM, and breast soreness. However, I seem to have more CM now than I did leading up to Sunday. It is a larger amount, but it is thicker and stickier. I also stopped taking the mucinex Monday, so that may be a variable to consider. I hope I'm not ovulating now... I will for sure try to track my BBT next cycle. Any one else have input?
