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 have been blessed with a miracle through IVF. Our daughter is due May 19th, 2010.
For this week, February 15-19, Jess will post between 11:30 to 12:30 Central Standard time. For next week, February 22-26, Suzanne will post between 8:00 to 10:00 Eastern time.

Re: ***TTC PRAYER GROUP**
QOTD: My husband did buy me something (after I pretty much told him what I wanted) it was a home decor thing, so he gets points no matter what.
Update: Our appointment went well on Friday. We didn't do anything at the appointment, other than just discuss the plans for what's going to happen and what tests I need to have done. I am still waiting till the end of this week or weekend to see if AF comes, if it does, then I will have to have 3 bloodtests on day 3 of my cycle. Otherwise, if I am pregnant, then there will be LOTS of Tears of Joy and laughing and smiling and hugging, and well whatever other exciting things.
I appreciate all the prayers. Thanks!
~Rachel
qotd: my husband got me two new cake pans since i love to bake!
update: we had an extra ultrasound today since i have continued to have spotting on and off. and we had a heartbeat!!! it was too soon to be sure if it's beating fast enough, but we had a beautiful yolk sac and heartbeat. we'll be able to time it at the ultrasound on the 18th and make sure it's beating at the right rate. thanks so much to all of you for your prayers.
QOTD: We didn't exchange gifts or cards this year. We normally go to a nice restaurant but we didn't make reservations this year since yesterday was my due date and I haven't been feeling up for doing much recently. We just went to a nearby place for dinner and came home and watched a movie.
Update: I thought I was in labor last night! We went to the hospital at 5am this morning and got sent home around 8am. Of course my contractions stopped pretty much as soon as we got to the hospital. I'm still only a fingertip dilated, but at least they confirmed I'm in "early labor" so things are starting to get going. I'd appreciate your prayers that I'll know when it's the real deal and that I won't freak out.
I managed to stay calm while we were there today but when I realized they were sending me home, it made me anxious for what it's going to be like when real labor hits.
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: We did not exchange Valentine's gifts this year. I haven't ventured outdoors (except dr appts) and DH has been home for 2 weeks (weather and a cold). Therefore neither of us purchased a gift for the other. But it was still a wonderful day...we went to church with BJ for the first time! BJ doesn't like church too much...it's very loud and you sit for way too long (BJ likes you to walk around while holding him). We ended up leaving early but it was because the electrician was waiting for us at the house (we had some power issues over the weekend).
Shotzie - I denied I was in labor until the triage nurse told me I was 5 centimeters dialated. All the way to the hospital I told my husband it was false labor and that we were going to be sent home. Boy was I wrong! I'll be praying for you when the time comes!
