Hi everyone, The TTC Prayer Group is a support group utilizing the power of prayer. If you want to join we will assign you a prayer buddy and all you have to do is simply include that person in your prayers. Very simple-yet powerful!!! Feel free to search under TTC prayer group and check in at whatever time of day. If you have any concerns, special prayer requests, or need to reach us outside of the nest email us at suzannesteward69@yahoo.com or jplotz22@gmail.com.

If you want to join the group and be linked up with a prayer partner please provide the following info: your name, if you choose, your age, if you are TTC baby number 1, 2, etc, and how long you've been trying. I'll assign you a partner the following day and you can begin posting as soon as you ask to join. Thanks!

4/7 Angelgee?s 1 hour fasting and appt. with GD doctor

Update on Baby Ellie: Although she?s certainly not out of the woods yet, baby Ellie has made it past the 72 hour critical mark. On Thursday (3/12) she had a good day with lots of moving and good test results, but on Friday (3/13) she had problems with her breathing tubes. However, the doctors say that she?s a fighter and they have high hopes for her. Her family is extremely grateful for all of the prayers and they are certain that it?s what?s helped her so much. Thank you so very much for all of your prayers, ladies!

Praise: Baker_ame: Her 11 week appointment was on 3/12 and the baby?s heartbeat was 165 bpm on the Doppler! Everything is great!

KyleneD: Her Step-MIL is pregnant. Please pray for a happy and healthy pregnancy. Her Step-MIL is having a little girl!

Special Prayer Requests:

Borst-Plotz: She has decided to start TTC again and will begin her Femara after her wisdom teeth are removed. Please pray for a successful cycle!

Angelgee: She got her fasting results and the results came out normal at 80, but she needs to keep a record of her blood sugar levels and keep a food diary so she?s back to finger pricking. She has another 1 hour fasting on April 7 and an appt with the GD doctor to show her numbers and her food diary. She?s going to start on Monday because she wants to wait until after her birthday on Sunday. Please pray that the results of her test on April 7 will be good.

Mfleming: She had her first + OPK on CD44. Please pray that she did ovulate and please pray for a BFP!

Mrs.Teejer: Her RE appt. went okay. An ultrasound showed that she has polycystic ovaries, so now she is on Metformin. Please pray for a BFP soon!

Shotzie: She is on day 4 of using the progesterone suppositories. She has not had any side effects to speak of, which she is so thankful for. Please pray that she will get her BFP!

Diva7633: Her grandmother passed away on Friday. Please pray for her and her family. Please pray that they will be able to find peace during this difficult time.

Bkjcwedding: Please pray for her boss?s daughter and granddaughter. His daughter (who has been on bed rest for 5 weeks) delivered her baby last night at 23 weeks. Her name is Ellie and she only weighs 1.1 lbs. His daughter is doing fine, but obviously little Ellie has many struggles ahead of her. The doctors have given her a 50/50 chance. Please pray that Ellie makes it. Also, please pray for her brother Dan, who was disabled in Iraq. He?s been going through a difficult divorce as it relates to his faith. Please pray that he is able to get lifted up and find comfort.

Krissten11: Her husband?s grandfather has been battling colon cancer for the past 5 years; the doctor told them a week ago that he has less than a month to live. Please pray he is comfortable during this time and pray for their family.

Jeanie (Eyerlande): She is a new member who just turned 40 a few weeks ago. She and her DH have been trying to conceive their first child for about 2 years. She had her first IVF a few weeks ago and unfortunately had a BFN. She starts BCPs for the second IVF on Thursday. Please pray that she will get a BFP from her second IVF!

Kerryoneill28: Another new member! She is 36 and she and her DH have been TTC for the last two years. In the last 6 months, she has completed all of her initial tests and everything is fine. She is 28 days regular, she?s ovulating, and all of her signs are okay, they are just not getting the positive sign. She was put on 100 mg of clomid, but unfortunately, it didn?t work. This is her last month on clomid, if it doesn?t work this month, they will go to a RE for the next step. Please pray that she gets her BFP soon!

She had a Laparoscopy in November of 2007 and 2008, but unfortunately the fibroid tumors and polyps keep growing back. Please pray that they don?t grow back and she gets her BFP soon!

QOTD: I listen to mostly christian and country! :-)

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I also started a blog if anyone wants to 'follow' it. I don't want to post a link in my siggie because I don't really want the girls on my local board to read it, simply because its about our treatments/etc. The link is www.thejourney2babyp.blogspot.com.

All ladies TTC, I'm keeping you in my prayers and thoughts.

shotzie · March 2009

QOTD: I mostly listen to Christian music, but I like a little of everything.

Thanks for the new prayer partner.

Update: My temp has been dropping so I expect to be moving on to the next cycle soon. I'm going to see if my RE wants me to keep trying the progesterone supp's for another couple cycles. I'm glad they didn't give me any negative side effects. I appreciate the prayers!
