Well AF showed...?

Question

Hi!! AF showed this morning. I knew it was coming so no surprise. I actually feel set free from all of this ttc stuff. Hubby and I decided to give up charting, temping, opks and dr's and Clomid until the start of the new year. I thought that I would be sad but I feel relieved almost. We may then opt to see a specialist in January. We have some money saved but not nearly enough if it gets very extensive there. We prayed on Tuesday that if God wanted us to seek treatments he would provide a way. Well God does answer prayers because last night my grandma called just to see how the Clomid was working out. I told her our plan of waiting and see how far our savings goes. And she said she was calling to offer us some assistance with the cost. I started crying. She says she has the extra and would like to see it spent on something that would be such a blessing to the family. I told her thankyou and we will cross that bridge when we get there. Thanks you to all of you that care so much!!!

Dont worry I will still check in on you all and will be praying for you. I will lend my support or help where I can be of use. Here is my chart if anyone is interested in seeing how this month went.

For those that don't know, Hubby and I have been ttc for 15 months now and this was our third cycle on Clomid. We do believe that God answers prayers so we still have hope but the stress has gotten to us too much these last few months. Time for a break. Best wishes to all those ttc!!!

Thank you all for you kind words. It is so great how you can feel so connected and close to complete strangers. We don't know each others names or faces but we have a common connection that helps us bond. We all want to be mothers. It is amazing how God can bring certain people into your life at the right moment in time. I believe God can use things and people as his vessels to do his work. He can even use Yahoo Answers to help someone. God bless you all and I don't even truly know you but it feels so good to know that total strangers can be so helpful. Sometimes I feel I am the only person that takes the time to help strangers. I give $5 to the guy on the corner and help people with doors and donate to the local pet shelter. I am glad there are others that want to be a helpful member in this world that is full of so much bad.

I am actually feeling good about not waking up at 6 am this weekend to temp! I thought I would be sad today about giving up but Im not. Thanks again!!!

Answer 1

What a great post.

I've made a similar decision so I can appreciate the thought and emotion that went into yours. I'm almost 42 and have been trying for about 7 months, so technically should be seeing a specialist right now. Hubby and I suffered a miscarriage at Christmas time last year so we've decided no doctors, no treatments or anything during this holiday season. I totally agree with you, the holidays are no time for stress and heartbreak. Should we get pregnant in the next couple of months, great...if not, we'll discuss it again after New Years.

I really admire you and hubby's commitment to each other and keeping each other emotionally healthy during this journey. Your story about your Grandma made me teary. God bless her for wanting to help. Enjoy the holidays Sweetie and may God bless your family with a little bundle soon.

Good luck.

I think a break would do you guys some good. I know that ttc is quite stressful...13 months for me, and still nothing. It'll happen though, we'll be Mommies someday! It seems like your faith is in the right place, and God does hear your prayers...creepy how that worked out with your grandma calling. I think it's a prominent sign. Our day will come. I've stopped charting and being so stressed about it, and let me tell you, I feel sooo much better. Where there's a will, there's a way! Good Luck! And have lots of stress-free fun while on your break...I'll keep you in my prayers!

I even have been there too. I even have 3 little ones from a prior marriage. cutting-edge hubby and that i've got been attempting for over 2 years. each month that glided by capability of and old dumb AF confirmed up, i could experience depressed. Then I have been given pregnant , yet had a miscarriage the 5th of this month, so now that's back to the drafting board. Now i'm wanting old AF to take place so we are able to initiate attempting back. I even have a sparkling come to a variety this time nonetheless. I won't enable myself get down anymore. i'm basically going to have self assurance that it is going to take place quickly and this next toddler would be ok. and prefer yet another stated, i seem at my little ones that I do have and thank God for them. My recommend is do basically not lose desire. I won't enable myself. HTH

Its good to no that ur Grandma is helping u in assisstance with your fertility problems, yes Believe in God, for he knows our hearts desire, and by putting the matters in his hand I'll bet you'll get the results you're looking for. Giving up on the clomid might be the best thing for you, even thought u ovulated on it, but that might have been the problem you weren't conceiving, I saw many ladies who stop taking clomid and then conceive the very next month, I did clomid for 4 cycles and nevered ovulated, I finaly came of it last month and I put my problems in God hands, and GUESS WHAT I finally ovulated on Metformin alone, I have pcos and I can tell you its a battle fighting fertility problems, just keep the faith and remember the Lord wouldn't put more on you then you can't bare, and if he brought u to it, he sure would get you threw it, and remember this battle isn't yours its the Lord, so put it in his hands and let him fight it, God Bless you

I haven't been her too much latley but I have been 'stalking'! :)
I think you have the right idea here and want to wish you the best of luck. Your faith is really inspiring to all of us and we're all in this crazy TTC journey together.
If you're not already part of the community at Fertility Friend, I would defintley drop in, and even look for a buddy group. You'll find a world of support there and women just like you who will lift your spirits and be there when you need them the most.

Answer 6

Good for you. Only you know what you can handle, and only God knows the exact plan for you and your hubby. You will be a GREAT mom, and I can't wait to hear that you have conceived next year when you start trying again!! It will all work out. In the mean time, I will keep you in my prayers.

Answer 7

That was so sweet and that was such a nice message. Just as nice a you!!!! xxx Well, i wish you all the best and you know the old story - it happens when you stop trying so hey, you never know!!! Im heading for IUI next month and hope it goes well and we might be pregnant by Christmas! Lets hope so!! All the best to you and hubby and take care of yourself ok!!

Answer 8

Hey girl, me again.. yeah my period has came the other day -as I mentioned..and still is on...as I've mentioned to u before...
I really think it's a good idea to forget about the temps and stuff. Just have sex like every other day to every two days.. I think u've mentioned that yau'll are both healthy enough to have children...and yau'lls fertility is okay....I think its just that yau'll are trying too hard. Make sure ur husband has a healthy routine too. Other than that...I can;t say relax...but just don't do all of that temp and crap....that'll ease u a little bit

Answer 9

I always read your posts, but this one made me cry too. i was thinking to go see a specialist this november, (we've been trying for 7 months now) this is our 8th month and i dont feel any symptoms.... :( but I think we are going to wait until after new year's to see a doctor. Please say a prayer for me, as i too believe in the power of prayers, I will be praying for you. God bless you and your loved once.

Answer 10

That's amazing!! Well, good luck at the beginning of the new year TTC!! Maybe it will happen when you're least expecting it and you won't need the extra assistance. God has already proven he is here for you!
