I know a lot of women are going through some ttc difficulties. Most recently Katie, LaurieH & Mommaofangels. I pray that God continues to keep all of you strong and blesses you more than your hearts could ever desire.

I too have struggled with faith and have had many of the same thoughts you have had as well! I too thought that I could control everything in my life, and believed that if I worked really hard at something and did it well, I would succeed. For the most part this has been true. . .in fact, in all areas this has been true. . except the having a baby part!

I too am learning that I am not the one in control with my life, and that there is a greater plan. Acknowledging that I don't know what that plan is or where that plan will take me is still a bit difficult, but, I am getting better at it! I am starting to accept things that are seeming to fall into place - for example - at our first RE visit we were told that IVF was our best shot to get pregnant. I never thought we would be able to do IVF - it was just too expensive. BUT, we (with God's help I think) have found a way to come up with the money to pay for the procedure. I wasn't comfortable doing IVF until I knew I could get pregnant. . .low and behold, we got pregnant in July, and but the baby was ectopic and I ended up losing my right tube. Although sad, I think that maybe that was a message, showing me to have faith, and follow the path that was being created for me.

So, I am doing a bit better with faith than I was previously. And prayer - well - that speaks for itself I think. The power of prayer is amazing. I believe in a higher power, and I believe that He can hear my prayers, and will grant them if and when the timing is right and falls into his plan=). Anyway, so I rambled along with you - LOL! It's good to know there are others out there fighting the same battles with faith, a higher power, and of course, TTC=). God bless you all!

With the flipping of the calendar page from 2003--and that dreaded seven-year anniversary, bittersweet in its happy celebration of our wedding day, yet saddening in its reminder of seven years of trying to start a family without success, now behind us--I have felt as though we are starting fresh, entering a new season in our "trying to conceive" journey. This past mnth's surgery has also provided me with a lot of hope. A big obstacle has been removed (literally). Everything else looks normal. Even more than that, I have been succeeding more than ever in not letting the negative feelings overtake me. Sure, I still cry and feel sorry for myself, oh, about once a day. But, considering the circumstances (that I am continuously surrounded by co-workers, friends, and family members who are either pregnant or raising infants), I'm starting to gently remind myself that is okay. It is okay to be sad. It is okay to see the babies and be wistful for my own, or think about the precious one we lost few years ago. What isn't okay is to let that sadness morph into anger, jealousy, and bitterness. Of course, this happens. Of course it does. I am a flawed person, and for sure, I feel that whole range of emotions from time to time. But I think the difference is that I'm learning how to better manage my feelings, to channel them in the right direction.

I think, now more than ever, I need to focus on what is possible instead of what could go wrong, what could not happen. I guess, what I'm saying in a very non-direct, rambling way, is that I'm trying to have faith. Faith is not something I'm entirely comfortable with, I'm realizing. I've written before about how, in order to accomplish something or overcome an obstacle in the past, I've usually just needed to focus on it, and work hard, until I got where I wanted to go. I believe in the power of hard work. I do. But I'm also realizing it is just not enough in this life. I cannot control this life. I cannot plan where it is going to take me, though Lord knows I've tried over and over. There is simply nothing left to do but let go. I cannot do this myself. I cannot fix this on my own. This whole process is bigger than me, and more and more it is becoming clear to me that perhaps I was hand-picked to endure this particular hardship for a reason. Perhaps I'm supposed to be a comfort to someone else who is experiencing the same thing. Perhaps my ego needed to be knocked down a few notches (i.e., "See? You can't get an A+ in baby-making, now can ya? You cannot win or succeed at everything, no matter how hard you try...life will not be handed to you on a silver platter...milestones checked off your exhaustive list in the order you so meticulously planned. You are not the boss, applesauce, I am."). I have struggled with faith on and off for quite a few years now. Perhaps going through my sisters mental illness frm childhood , and now struggling with infertility, is "someone's" way of saying, "Hey, you! Yes, YOU! I've been trying to get your attention, but you just keep ignoring me.What is it going to take for you trust me and relax? I have a plan."

Of course, I don't know this for sure. No one knows for sure why her life takes a certain turn, though it often becomes more clear after-the-fact. All I know right now is that, during these trials, I have turned to the comfort of prayer. I feel that there is someone up there listening to me, and I feel the strength to carry on a little longer...now, just a little longer...okay, just a little longer...welling up inside me.

Having faith and hope, through prayer, is the only thing that makes sense to me right now. And I am feeling that, perhaps, this is where I needed to end up in order to come to that determination.

Good idea casey - I will definitely add Squeezy onto the prayer list. Thanks for suggesting it. Our prayers go out to Squeezy and her family and hope that He will help to comfort them and help them get through this very difficult time.

I would like to add Squeezy to the prayer thread. As some of you know she lost her twin girls, and will have a D&C tomorrow. She was 14 weeks.

I pray that God will give her the strength to get through this painful time, and for God to send his angels down to comfort her in her time of need.

I also pray for all you ladies on here and your families. May God grant you the desires of your heart. For those ladies who are pregnant, may God keep your baby(ies) safe.

Amen to that prayer Mansi! And welcome to the thread Loni! We would be happy to add you on to the prayer list!

So it seems like fewer people are adding on each day now, so we could probably go ahead and make the prayer list for the currently "active" ladies on this thread. I can make a list in the morning!

I hope all of you are doing well and are having a blessed day!

Hi all I would also like to place a prayer request here as this is a place where everyone knows the pain and frustration of infertility.

This September 15th will be my 4th wedding anniversary and from month 1 we are trying and still have not got our little miracle. In this 4 yrs sometime it was my dh and some time me who had problems but now both are normal and we really want our baby very soon. This is my last month of trying naturally and from next cylce we will be doing iuis.

So i would request all of u to pray for me & dh, we would like to conceive naturally and if i dont atleast let me conceive with iui successfully.

Thanks to all of u and I sincerely pray that all our prayers are answered.

A Prayer For All The Ladies Out here :

Thank you, Lord, for all the blessings in my life. Help me to remember them as I face the challenges of infertility. I pray that I can surrender myself into your hands. Let me accept the reality of this situation and have the wisdom and courage to take action where I can. Strengthen my body, mind and spirit to endure the trials of infertility. Keep me ever mindful of the needs of others and grant us your peace. Amen.

Welcome Elodia and Ginnifer! And thanks ladies for posting your different prayers! They were all wonderful! So many ladies are joining together to share in the power of prayer! We are SO blessed!

As we seem to be gaining additional ladies each day to the thread (which is AWESOME!), I am thinking about waiting another day or so for people to add on, then making up a prayer list to post so everyone can see the current ladies requesting prayers. Sound like a plan?

Hope you all are having a blessed day! And gnlwill, I am thinking of and saying an extra prayer for you and DH today! Did you POAS?

Prayers request thread for ttc

Fri, 27 Feb 2009 21:23:00 -0600

Several people mentioned they would like a thread where they could come to put in prayer requests for their TTC milestones. Then at a certain time we could all (in our own way) say a little prayer for the person who needs it. FT reaches all over the world! What do you think?

Kellytren is having triplets!!!
