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 19^th, 2010.

For this week, March 8-12, Suzanne will post between 8:00-10:00 a.m. Eastern time. For next week, March 15-19, Jessica will post between 11:30-12:30 Central standard time

This Week?s Events:       

?-Diva?s 18 week ultrasound

3/11- Suzanne?s biopsy

3/13-Haley Elizabeth?s weight check

3/15-Pink Roses NT Scan

Praise:

*Shotzie: She had her baby on 2/23/10. The induction was successful and went very well.  Thanks for all the prayers!  Here are the stats:

Hailey Elizabeth born 2/23/10 at 2:58pm

Weight: 7 lbs, 14 oz

Length: 21 inches

She's doing great!  They had her 2 week check up today and the only issue is that she's not back up to her birth weight yet.  She weighs 7 lbs, 8 oz right now.  They have a weight check for her this Friday. Please pray she'll have gained a good amount of weight by then. 

Perry: She had an ultrasound on 2/15 because of continued spotting-they saw a heartbeat!! *Also, some of her coworkers were very understanding about bedrest and covered for her with her TAing responsibilities so that she could be safe and stay in bed.

PinkRoses: Her ultrasound went great! Her little one was kicking away J

Diva: Her 2^nd ultrasound went great-baby looks like a baby J She measured right on track at 9w3d with a hb of 165. Please pray for a continually H&H 9 months!

Special Prayer Requests:

PinkRoses: Her next ultrasound is on Friday, 2/26. Please pray that all goes well!

Softskate: She and her baby seem to be doing well. Her blood pressure is creeping up even though she?s already on meds for it, so they?re watching that closely with the MFM now. She has her big u/s. on March 8. After that, she will have NST and growth u/s at 24, 28, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 weeks and will be induced when it is found that the baby is safer out than in. She won?t be allowed to go past 39 weeks for sure. Please pray that she will be able to keep her blood pressure down so that they can prevent early onset pre-e and other scary complications. A praise ? she doesn?t have GD!

Perry: She had an ultrasound today to check on the progress of the hematoma and got some shocking news--what they thought was a hematoma wasn't actually a hematoma, it was the remains of a lost twin. This is very bittersweet, they are sad for the lost twin but thrilled that the remaining baby is safe. Thank you for your prayers, ladies!

*KyleneD:  Her friend is still in the hospital and now dilated to 5 (she was at 7cm). Her water is also leaking so they will induce her on Wednesday to reduce infection-she?ll be 34 weeks. Please pray for a healthy baby and mama!!

*Zanymermaid: She met with the surgeon who will be doing her breast biopsy and she feels much better now! He is almost certain that it is a benign fibrosis, about 85% of women under 45 will have a benign fibrosis which is good news.  Please pray all goes well! She is also having difficulties with her Sunday school instructor. Please pray that situation will be resolved soon.

Borst-Plotz: A fellow nestie and friend of Borst-Plotz?s just had her 20 week ultrasound. Her friend found out that she is having a boy, but he has some serious health problems. He may have a chromosome disorder and possibly problems with his brain, but his heart is missing a valve as well as some other issues. Her friend and her friend?s DH don?t know if the baby is going to make it or what the perinatologist can do but please pray for their family and him.

rp_panda:  She had her HSG test done. Her doctor verified that she does have PCOS, but not an extreme case. She has 3 follicles measuring 15 which means a good chance for twins! She will take a shot on Thursday of Ovidrel and will have a progesterone check next week to make sure everything worked. Please pray for a BFP this cycle!

QOTD: What?s the weather like where you live? We?re finally getting some sunshine and some warmth ? yesterday it was in the high 60s! The crocuses in my front yard are starting to bloom, I think that Spring is on its way!
