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 three years. In 2008, we have undertaken fertility treatments and have had four IUIs, but haven't been successful yet. My DH and I are taking a break from TTC. We will pursue IVF this 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. We just started trying again with 7.5mg of Femara.
For this week, May 11 ? May 15, Jess will post between 11:30 to 12:30 Central Standard time. For next week, May 19 ? May 22, Suzanne will post between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Eastern time.

Praise:
Angelgee: She is thankful for getting great news on Friday (5/8). Her appointment on Thursday (5/7) had her a little worried because her doctor told her that her baby was a little on the small size weighing about 5 lbs. But on Friday (5/8) she went in for a NST and everything came out within normal. Her baby is about 6 lbs. 4 oz. and is measuring great! Also, she?s thankful that her aunt is recovering well. However her aunt is still waiting on some result on her infection so please continue to keep her aunt in your prayers.
Baker_ame: She had her u/s on Monday and she is having a baby girl! She had a maternal fetal u/s to check her heart and everything looked normal! She?s 19 weeks and going strong! Thank you so much for your prayers, ladies.
KyleneD: She got her BFP on Saturday (4/25) and her sister?s pregnant also after a m/c in January! Please pray for healthy babies and mommies!!
Diva7633: Her RE?s office called and her prolactin level is low and back to normal. She did ovulate on her own! Her progesterone level was 80 which the doctors said is definitely over what it needed to be. She is officially in the 2 week wait for the first time. Please pray that she will get her BFP!
Perry: Her boss just told her today she will be able to get paid maternity leave!! He?s going to pay her out of his own budget, what great news!!
Zanymermaid: Denice and her baby are doing much better. Ladies, thank you so very much for your prayers! Please continue to keep Denice and her baby in your prayers. Also, things are better in her neighborhood. Thanks so much for the prayers, ladies!
Mrs.Dunk: Her appt. went well. All of her bloodwork came back normal. Her DH?s test results did come back abnormal, but nothing catastrophic. His morphology level was low, the doctor said it should be at 30% and his was at 20%. They can get pregnant on their own, but it just might take awhile. They may try IUI if that doesn?t work. Please pray that they get a BFP soon!
Special Prayer Requests:
Shotzie: She got AF on Mother?s Day. Please pray for patience and trust in the Lord!
Mfleming: She has an appointment with her endocrinologist on Monday (5/11). Please pray that she will get some answers. Also she is still waiting for her AF to show up so she can get her HSG scheduled.
Sarai0316: She got AF on Saturday (5/9) and has been in a lot of pain. She has a ultrasound on the 28th to make sure she doesn?t have polyps again! Please pray her ultrasound goes well!
2P?sNAPod-She?s down to a 1 ww. Please pray for a quick week and a BFP!
Perry: Her DH went in for a pre-conception check-up last week and his blood tests came back with abnormal results for his potassium and calcium levels. They are hoping that it is a lab error fluke and will test him again next week. Please pray that he is healthy and that the tests next week come back normal.
Anasara: She will go to see her doctor on 5/29 to schedule an HSG. Although her BW & cycles seem normal, Anasara is still concerned that the doctor will find something. Please pray that everything will go well for her and that nothing will be found.
Mrs. Teejer: Unfortunately, her IUI #1 was not successful. She will be starting Clomid again on Friday. Please pray for her to have peace and comfort during this time and please pray that her next cycle will result in a BFP!
Ericswife: She was diagnosed with a blighted ovum on 3/20 and had a D & C on 3/27. Please pray for her to find peace and comfort during this difficult time.
Julybride: She was back in L& D again this week for contractions. Please pray that her little boy will be able to stay in for at least another 8 weeks when he will be full term.
Diva: AF came yesterday (4/29) so she is onto cycle 18; please pray for patience and a successful cycle very soon!
Softskate: Her dad passed away on April 19th. The funeral was beautiful and they gave a great tribute to her dad. Please keep her family in your prayers, give them peace and trust in the Lord during this hard time.
Borst-Plotz: Her chart shows she possibly ovulated on her ?break cycle? so she?s waiting to start Provera until she knows for sure she?s not pregnant. Please pray for patience and maybe even a miracle BFP!
Eyerlande: Please pray for her DH. He has strep and extremely high bp. The doctor?s worried he may have had a heart attack although the EKG showed he didn?t. Please pray he?s able to get better and that their recheck on Monday goes well. Also please pray for patience, strength, and a BFP!

Reflection for the day: "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up." (Daniel 3:16-18)
Question of the day: What?s your favorite bible verse that lifts you up when you having a difficult day?
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 found a very inspiring sermon about infertility posted on the TTTC board on the nest. I emailed the person who wrote the sermon and she mentioned that if anyone is interested in reading her sermon, I can email it to them. If you are interested, please let me know, I will be more than happy to email it to you.
Re: **TTC PRAYER GROUP**
sarai, i'm sorry that you're feeling so bad, i'll be praying that everything's okay!
i'm not christian so i don't actually know that much of the bible, but a saying from tibetan buddhism that helps me during rough times is this:
"it is only through grief that we learn compassion, it is only through anger that we learn wisdom, and it is only through fear that we learn trust."
this helps me realize that even during painful times, things are happening for a reason, and everything (painful or not) is an opportunity to learn to become a wiser and more compassionate person.
QOTD: One verse that always encourages me is Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." That's how I came up with the name of my TTC blog.
Sarai, I'm sorry AF showed up and you're in so much pain. You're in my prayers.
DD1: allergic to eggs & dairy
c/p 4/1/11
DD2: milk and soy protein intolerant, allergic to eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, bananas

QOTD: 2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
I have always liked this scripture, but on Mother's Day God spoke to me through my youth pastor. Everyone was going up to get thier personalized Mother's Day bags and I was the only woman who was married without children and I didn't get one, so this was kind of hard for me to sit there but I did okay. After that my youth pastor got up to preach and he said that the Lord told him to tell me that, "His grace is sufficient!" He said he wanted to encourage me because he know this is a hard time for me and let me know that God has a plan for my life, so I love this scripture and I am very glad to share it with you all.
Have a great day ladies!!!!
Thanks for your prayers!!!!!

My fav scripture is Romans 15:13
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
It really helps me when I'm in a rut! I always know that I can hope in God because as his word say, there is no disappointment in HOPE!
