A New Journey!

September 04, 2008

My hubby and were TTC for 14 months before I found out I was pregnant. The road was long and discouraging but it was so worth the wait! When that second line popped up on the pregnancy test I just could not believe it. I started to shake and cry. I phoned my best friend and could hardly squeek the news out.

I was on my second round of clomid @ 50mg and this month we went with CD3-7. Another new thing that we tried this month was pre-seed. Although I am not sure if either of these things were a determining factor due to the fact that I never tested positive for ovulation. I believe this baby is a miracle from God, but what baby isn't?

In March God gave me a verse from Psalms as an encouragement. It is Psalm 113:9 - "He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord." On August 15 he gave this same verse to someone who is like a second mom to me. She knew right away who it was talking about and prayed that God would be gracious to us. This was a few days prior to when I think I may have Ovualted. I believe that this baby is a miracle because of how all the pieces are fitting together. I know that some of you are not religious and I am not trying to force anything on you... I just wanted you to know the true beauty of my story. :)

We are Due sometime between May 12 - 16, 2009. I am not all together sure because I am not really sure on the O date. I will be going for my first prenatal in a couple of weeks and I probably won't know a whole lot more until then.

Thanks for all the prayers and support! It has been such a blessing to be a part of fertility ties and I am hoping and praying that all those longing for their BFP will get it soon!

Hi Rachel! Congrat's on your wonderful news!!! Thanks for posting that verse from Psalms. Psalms has been very encouraging to me. One day when I was feeling discouraged in our journey I read one of the barren women verses! :-) My husband and I have had many experiences like that since we started down this road.

Great song Rachel.. I've been singing this song to my children before they were born.. My son (now 8) sings it to his little sister when she is sad.. it is one of their bedtime songs.. so sweet!~

Thank you for sharing that verse, I know it, but it has spoken to me anew! I will meditate on that one during my next one on one with the Lord!

November 05, 2008

how are you doing Rachel? Hows the lil bean =)

November 05, 2008

and you said you never tested positive for ovulation, did you get monitored by ur Dr? Did you use OPKs?

November 05, 2008

Hey Ladies! Thanks for your continued support!

Jenn, I never did get a true positive on an opk... but the doc thought that maybe my surge was not as strong as others. I could always see a peak point on the tests but never one that was truly dark. I found that the clomid helped though... my body def felt like it was doing what it was supposed to when I was on it. I hope this helps and I hope that you get your BFP soon!

~~~Baby Dust and Sticky Glue for you Ladies!~~~

thanks so much =) Congrats on your pregnancy!

I am about to start 100 mg of clomid in a couple days, I have yet to ovulate on the 50 mg so we are upping the dosage. I am keeping hope that it will work!
