********TTC Prayer Group***********

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, 40 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.

Praise:

*RP_Panda: She?s pregnant!!! She took a pregnancy test last week and it was positive!   She had a blood test done and her HCG level was 60, which the nurse said was great! She?ll have another one done on Monday. Her progesterone level also looks great!! Congrats RP_Panda!!! Please pray for H&H 9 months to her and her LO!

Special Prayer Requests:

Borst-Plotz: Gianna weighs 5 ? lbs! The doctors said she looks great, but they are a bit concerned about Borst-Plotz?s BP and the swelling in her feet/ankles/legs. Please pray that Borst-Plotz and Gianna stay healthy!

Perry:  All is going well with baby Perry!! They find out the gender in 4 weeks!

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!

Question of the day: What did you do this weekend? I?ve been frantically trying to get my big project for my class that is due on April 27^th finished! On Saturday, DH and I went to the National Arboretum in DC. He bought books on gardening; I took close up pictures of the koi before the koi sale. Afterwards we walked around the Arboretum and looked at the azaleas and lilacs. On Sunday, we went to church.

Reflection of the day: Jeremiah 29:11: ?For I know the plans I have for you,? declares the Lord, ?plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.?

We have found a new coposter to take over when Jess leaves. Ladies, please join me in welcoming April (aka Ade2be)! She is 28 years old. She and her DH were blessed with a BFP Nov?08, but shortly afterwards she miscarried. Since then she has been diagnosed as PCOS and her DH has been diagnosed with a low sperm count. They are currently undergoing fertility treatments, including IUI now. April, thank you so very much for being our new coposter! She will start to copost on May 1, 2010.

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.
