Zanymermaid · November 2009

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 email address, 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!

I am Suzanne, 39 years old, and my DH and I have been trying to have a baby for four years. In 2008, we had undertaken fertility treatments and had four IUIs ? all BFNs. We got our BFP after completing our first IVF cycle. Unfortunately, however, I had a missed miscarriage and a D&C on September 17. We will try IVF again in the summer.

I am Jessica; after TTC with PCOS for almost a year DH and I got pregnant with our ?Christmas Miracle?. At 9w4d we went in for an ultrasound and found out we lost our baby. In August we did our first cycle of IVF which ended up in a BFP!

For this week, November 30-December 4, Suzanne will post between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. For next week, December 7-December 11, Jess will post between 11:30 to 12:30 Central Standard time.

New & Reassigned Prayer Partners: Arykah (arykah@aol.com) and DramaKween, Chelle540 chelle540@insightbb.com

Please pray that Jean and her family can find peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Ladies, please pray for the victims and families affected by the Ford Hood shooting.

GROUP UPDATE: -If you have any upcoming events (appointments, birthdays, anniversaries, etc) be sure to let me know so I can post them in the events section!! All ladies TTC ? please pray for continued strength, patience, and understanding as they struggle each cycle. Provide them comfort when AF arrives or they see a BFN on the test stick.

NEW MEMBERS: WELCOME!! Basically just check in daily and pray for your prayer partner. Most prayer partners also e-mail, chat, etc to each other about what they?ve been going through and support each other.

Ladies, I am running out of ideas for QOTDs. If you have any questions that I could use, please let me know. Thanks so much!

Ladies, please pray for baby Stellan. For more information, please refer to this blog: https://www.mycharmingkids.net. Shotzie, thanks so much for bringing this to our attention.

QOTD: We went to DH's parents' house for Thanksgiving. Some of his extended family were there and it was nice to see everyone. Best of all, I didn't have to do any of the cooking!

QOTD: we visited my mom and also my stepmother's parents. it was kind of a stressful weekend--too much homework to do! clomid round #2 was officially a BFN for me. we will do two more clomid rounds, and if those don't work we will move on to IVF. please pray that the next two rounds either bring a BFP or go very quickly!
