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.

Most Recent BFP: Eyerlande-Congratulations!!!!!!
This Week's Events:
5/28-Sarai?s u/s to see if the polps have grown back.
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.
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!
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!
Eyerlande: Her beta was at 1293 on 5/14!!!! Congratulations!! Please pray for a healthy baby and pregnancy!
Zanymermaid: The neighbor who was causing so much trouble in her neighborhood moved back to Texas. Thanks for your prayers, ladies!
Special Prayer Requests:
Shotzie: She got AF on Mother?s Day. Please pray for patience and trust in the Lord!
Zanymermaid: Her clomid trial was a bust; it caused her to have very bad cramps. She doesn?t know how this will effect her IVF treatments, please pray God will give direction and clarity to both her and her DH.
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 an 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 friend just found out her dad has prostate cancer; please pray for their family during this difficult time. Please also pray for her mom and step dad as they have decided to end their marriage. It is for the best but a sad and difficult time for both, please pray for their family as well.
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!
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.
Borst-Plotz: She?s waiting for her period to start so they can begin the Femara again. Please pray for patience, trust and a successful cycle!!
Sophie: A new member! She is 24 and she and her DH have been TTC for #1 since January 2009. She was diagnosed with borderline PCOS in high school and she has been irregular/cystic since then. She also has celiac disease. She ovulated on 50 mg of Clomid this month, after taking provera, and will test the day before Mother?s Day. Please pray for a BFP!
DyerPhotos: A new member! She got off BC in October 2008 and has been charting for the past two months. She will start Clomid this cycle. Her DH had some problems since he was a child and the problems may cause sterilization. They are TTC #1. Please pray for a BFP!

Reflection for the day: Romans 12:21: Do not let evil defeat you; instead conquer evil with good.
Question of the day: What did you do over the weekend? On Saturday, DH and I just stayed at home and relaxed. I made some chocolate chip cookies. On Sunday, my girlfriend and I went to the Maryland Fairy Festival ? both unusual and fun!
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******
QOTD: Saturday we took my mom out for a belated Mother's Day celebration. That night we had dinner with friends. Yesterday we went to church, ran some errands and went to Chuck E. Cheese for my nephew's birthday. It was a busy weekend but it was all fun stuff.
Suzanne, I'm sorry the clomid challenge was a bust. I hope you respond better to whatever the next course of action is.
Congrats, 2P'sNaPod!

MSPI Moms Check-In Blog
Yayy!!!! 2P's, I'm so excited for you! Keep us posted!
My weekend was good. My mom and I have had some good conversations and worked out our fighting, so we had a nice talk yesterday. She is holding up pretty well under the stress of her marital separation. I talked to my friend whose father got diagnosed with prostate cancer, and although they don't have full information yet (more testing this week), the prognosis will probably be good, and she is keeping her spirits up.
The DH will get his final results on the calcium/potassium levels this week, so please pray for 100% normal results!
Congrats and H&H 9months 2P?sNAPod!!!!!!!
QOTD: This weekend I got my hair braided on Saturday and then on Sunday I was at church all day, the Lord really spoke to me so I am very thankful for that.
I hope everyone enjoyed there weekend, continually praying for you all!

By the way, I really like the reflection of the day from the Bible.
Something my mom said recently helps me remember that God is in control and I need to trust that whatever He does is for the best. Mom said: "You know the saying, 'There's your business, my business, and God's business?' Well, I think it's ALL God's business."
Congratulations 2P's!
My weekend was nice. DH and I both worked Saturday morning but the afternoon we were able to spend some time together. We sat on our lawn and watched some of the air show at Andrews AFB. We live so close to the base that we could see almost everything! Sunday was also relaxing.
Our first dr. appt went wonderful. I love my new doctor! My due date is Jan. 4th. Our first sonogram is scheduled for this Friday, 5/22, at 2:00pm. My parents are coming down for Memorial Day weekend so I am brainstorming ideas on how to tell them!
I just wanted to thank everyone again for the well wishes and the prayers! You guys are awesome!
Congrats 2P's and happy and healthy pregnancy!
QOTD: Friday cleaned out the frig, went walking and started on laundry. Sat. cleaned house and ran some errands. Then a little past midnight I started to have contractions about 20-30 mins apart all through out the night. They continued, but haven't gotten closer. Hubby is starting to get nervous. I'm really hoping that these contractions become more timeable and I can have LO very soon. Thanks Shotzie.
Lots of thoughts and prayers for all!?
Congrats 2P's!!!!
QOTD: I threw my sister a bridal shower and made some progress on the laundry/bathroom remodel!
Your all in my prayers, stay positive ladies!
