Need word of encouragement for TTC

Ika I am really so sorry for what you are feeling!!!

I am not TTC'ing now but I was in 2007 and 2008 for just over a year (about 14 months). My husband had cancer and we found out that it was the reason why we hadnt conceived.
The Dr. told us that it would take 5 years and we decided to stop trying to TTC and just wait but in October 2008 I fell pregnant with my little girl Rebekah and it had only been 5 months since my husbands chemo/radiation.

I dont know what you believe in (not judging just dont want to assume you believe in God ) but I believed that God knew the right time and he blessed me with Rebekah when he saw fit

Hang in there...

Im getting teary eyed now.

ika, I sent you a pm.

you will have your baby, just keep faith!

Hi Ika

Can't tell you really beacause i'm in same spot than you, tired of hoping and trying. But one day we will get that bfp!!!

Good luck

Funny how as women we are so intune with our body that we know there may be a problem. When I was young and people asked when I would have kids, I would answer "you mean if I can".

JOLI: Thanks. I also look at stories like Paisley and Chris. They are a real inspiration! And can only hope and pray that that is me soon.
Laliek: Thanks. I think sometimes it is a bit hard. I so want to just leave it in the hands of God, but I hate not having control over this.
julzdylan: Thank you! I think I will do this month and then take time off for a while. I also think having a set plan is a good idea. Knowing what will come next, back up plan.ect ect
Girly: Thanks. The gr8 thing about a journey that takes this long, is that I have gotten to known a group of amazing strong wise women.
HayleyReyneke: Thanks: I hope and pray that I can grow and build my faith enough to just give it over. But then each month I start off great and then I think just one more round of clomid, just one more round of charting, OPK's, prostegen pills ecte ect ect, then I realized that I did not really hand it over, but I am still doing it myself!!

Feeling better today.

Just ordered some books from Kalahari on infertility and religion. So hope they come in time for some good inspiration!

Hugs to you Ika. I don't really know what to say as nothing will really make you feel better. I'm really holding thumbs for you and will keep you in my prayers. I've followed many ladies stories like Paisley and Chris and so on. It's been a long journey for lots of ladies and I'm sure your time will come. I will keep you in my thoughts and will send baby dust your way.

Ika hun - I know how you feel.

This is my 13th month of TTC. I sort of knew from the beginning that we'll have problems and darnit so we did. I really thought my first IUI was going to work and when it didn't I felt shattered. And then when I picked myself up and said good, now it's round two I'm ready for it, heard that we can't do round two due to the stupid cyst. It's then that I decided, as Hayley did, that I'm still trying to control everything and that's what I've been doing for the past year!!

I've never REALLY left it all in God's hands and I did some serious soul searching. I then realised that so what if it only happens after 6 IUI's or after 2 IVF's?? Isn't the point that it will happen?? It's just not that it's on my time but the man upstairs. That's when I decided to leave it be, relax, and not think about it all too much. I'll know by friday hopefully if we can do 2nd IUI and I'm extremely excited and positive, but it's not meant to be I'll be ok with that as well. I know I'll be blessed sooner or later. AND, I also realised I'm missing the entire point, I have a wonderful life with a wonderful husband and great family and I have all I could ever want and need - a baby, where earlier I felt incomplete if I don't get pregnant - a baby won't complete me it will just be an amazing and huge blessing for me!!

Good luck hun!! I know it will happen for you very soon - just keep the faith
