***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.

Our newest members:

Melissa (mnlee12@gmail.com): She?s 32 and has been TTC #1 after two miscarriages. She has been TTC for three years.

Ade2be: She and her DH are TTC #1. They were blessed with a pregnancy immediately after getting married, but she miscarried at 7w5d. Since then, 15 months have passed without any luck. She has also been diagnosed as PCOS and has been on Clomid for 7 months now. Her DH has been diagnosed with a low sperm count. She?s thinking about converting this cycle to IUI ?they will decide when they go in for her follicle check on Wednesday.

Question of the day: What was the best part of your weekend?

Reflection of the day: ?The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.? Psalm 9:9-10

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.
