Hey Tina. Hope everything is going well. As for me great. About your question on IVF, I only had one ( ran out of money). IVF is kinda expensive, but I know God will make a way where there seems no way. How many cycles can you be on with fermara/clomid? I am thinking about asking my doctor to swich me to clomid this next time around. My step some goes into surgery at the end of the month to remove the cartolege in is chest ( he has what you call pegion chest) so keep him in prayer. Talk to you later.

Change-Welcome! I am new too. This thread is a little slow, but maybe we change that.

PTL that your fibroid is gone! Yes, I find it hard to pray when feeling down. I sometimes just pray back scriptures to God. My favorite is Mat. 11:28-30, "come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest, take my yoke upon you for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your soul, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light." We all need other Christian ladies who are going through the same struggles to support one another.

Lite-I think the RE's like to give a max. of 6 cylces of clomid, not sure about Femara. Did you have any embryos to freeze with your IVF. Praying for your stepdads? surgery.

Hey everyone. Hope everyone is having a great summer. As for me doing great. Haven't heard much from you all, but hope and pray for you all.
Tina, thanks for praying for my stepson. He goes into surgery this friday and then they will keep him for 4 to 5 days. I am praying that everything goes well and God will be with him. Take care.

Tresa · 07-27-2009, 07:01 PM

I still dont get notifications when you gals post!
Sorry, I haven't been around much. In a nutshell, I need prayer!
My nutshell. Last year, I am coming off of, horrible move to a new base, my DH leaving for a sudden deployment (he wasnt in hostile area), me instantly becoming a single Mom of 2 (age 4 and 5 mo. @ the time) and living a new state knowing NO ONE, him coming home different and verbally and mentally abusing me, us seperating, him moving back in 2 months later and then finding out he had 2 affairs in the same day (one of which was a girl he met on his deployment, who claimed to want to be my friend and to be helping me in my despair with my husband) and having 3 hernia surgeries and recovering from them all in a years time, some more stuff there but am keeping it to a nutshell. I know a lot of baggage, but this is why I haven't been on here as much. Ijust shut down and I have been trying to stay focused on the Lord. He has really helped me through a lot. I have been so weak, but I must have someone praying for me becasue lately I feel like I am getting stronger. I can see a light anyway.
I just know this is a Christian and prayer support thread and I guess I never thought of asking for it. So, please keep me in your prayers.
Another thing that was hard, is I lost or don't hear from a lot of my friends anymore. I guess this whiole thing either made them upset that I stayed with my husband or they dont want to see him around me.
SOrry I babbled, trying to get a year and more out in as quick as possible!
Maybe, I can get on know and be more of a support for others as well!

litena79 · 07-28-2009, 06:13 AM

Hey Teresa, its Lite. First of all I just wanted to thank you for writing. Your experience and wisdom really helped me. Of course its still hard but I am trying to take one day at a time. I am sorry to hear about your whole ordeal. I know it must be very hard but you know what know one knows what they will do unless they have walked in your shoes. If you are being lead by God and listening for most to Him first, then you are doing nothing wrong. God can heal all things, if you both want to be healed. Just keep pushing forward and seeking God for your marriage. Give him and the situation to God, just like you did with your babies and He will do the rest. I will definately keep you in my prayers. Just pray and fast for him. Take back what the enemy is trying to steal, kill, and destroy. I send you lots of love in christ.

Tresa · 07-28-2009, 12:57 PM

Thank You so much for writing that, Lite! I really need to surround myself with Christians right now. I am so weak, I am vunerable! Thank You for your prayers. I need them!!
I am glad I was able to help you in some way. I remember hat road and it sure wasn't an easy one, but I came out a better person. To say it doesn't give it the respect God has revealed to me. I don't think I would want to go through that at this moment every again, but if I hadn't gone through it, I KNOW I wouldn't be the woman I am today. It has taught me to be undertanding, faithful, and that every struggle as shown me God has made me a better person.
I keep thinking God will make me a better person out of this situation, but I tell you. I hope it isn't much longer, because I have to honestly say my heart is hurting so much! I am so tired of hurting. Wondering. I know Satan is enjoying watcing me suffer. I just cant seem to shake it. This is why I need prayer.

I just woke up and I am babbling. SOrry if I make no sense!! I better go eat breakfast!

Hope you all have a great Morning!

TxsBelle830 · 07-28-2009, 04:44 PM

Just popping in to say hi and to see how you all are doing. My world is still not settled after the move but I'm working on it. Hoping this weekend I'll be settled in our own place. Please pray for me. I feel like I'm losing my mind. We're staying with my mom and stepdad and they are having super major financial issues and so they are constantly fighting and it's taking it's toll on me and DH. We're a little short with each other more than we have ever been in almost 6 years of marriage and I HATE it. Also, this round of Clomid is a waste. we've only BD-ed once...we just are so emotionally drained and physically exhausted at the end of the day.

Sorry to ramble. Hope you all are doing good.

HomeinAK · 07-28-2009, 07:44 PM

Tresa-So great to hear from you! I sooo miss the ladies from the old "Christian Cysters" thread, it was like it just faded away... I am still so inspired by how you can stay so positive in times of such trial! Many times that kept me going! Don't worry about what your "friends" think about you staying with your husband. You do what you feel is right in your heart, and real friends will stick with you through the good and bad! I am so sorry you are still hurting. I too struggle with the unknown and waiting...I pray that healing comes to you and your heart. Satan may enjoy watching you suffer, but he even more so cringes every time you overcome the struggles and press on!
You look great in your pic! The pic of your 3 guys is cute too. I bet your boys are getting big!

Tresa · 07-28-2009, 08:49 PM

Why'd did you change your name?? OMGoodness, I have totally missed you! oh HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOme of the girls just felt like pressured to leave SC and were offended when some were banned, so they all decided to jump ship and try the message board but it isn't doing good at all! Everyone seems to do the FB thing but it's not the same! I mentioned to some to not let pressures drive them away. God brought us together, we can get through it, but they felt they needed to leave. I miss everyone so much! But, I said I would never give up on this thread and I wil stay as long as I can! Do as much as I can! This thread has helped SO MANY!! I am looking foward to meeting new people the Lord has brought here. There seems to be some wonderful girls here!
Thanks for sharing that with me! I really appreciate it. Girl, it has been a roller coaster! A ride I want off and to never do again!! Being that Dave lost a rank and his soon to be promotion, it has effected us financially! When we struggle or the boys cant do something (play a sport or something like that), it reminds me and I get so mad and think about what he did and it makes me so mad. This will effect his retirement and our retirement future financially!!
Plus, I have gained 20 lbs! That makes me mad too!
How are you?? What's up with you??

Tina - I just read about your stepson going into surgery. I will definetly be thinking and prayig for him. Pleae keep us updated when you get a chance!
Again thank you for sayng what you did. It's cysters like you that keep me going!
How are you doing today!?

txsbelle830 - Glad your move is done. Hopefully, it wont be much longer until you guys can move into your own place. I have been there done that a few times in my married life! Live with the parents - not fun at all! I have learned a lot about marriage and this is a point in your life you cannot get back! If you cannot afford dates, go to places that are free and pack a picnic, a frisbee, kite or so something where you can have fun for free and have time to unwind! It can be done and you wont believe how much it helps your marraige, the relationship in strained times! We just went on vacation last week and could only afford a couple days. We couldnt afford to do all the activites ,but we through the frisbee, flew some kites and climbed the caves. Oh my goodness, it was all free and afterwards we enjoyed it so much. If something irritates you while doing it. Like he says something or you feel irritated, turn around look at the peace you're giving yourselves and take a deep breath and blow it OFF! Words really do cause a lot in a marriage and you can't get it back. Remember, the first couple years of excitment goes away for al marriages. It is work and this is the man you love! Make the most of it and try not to let your situation rob you of it. OMGoodness, I got carried away!!!

I better go, DS has taken a nap WAY too LONG and Josh has vacation bible school in 40 min - yikes!

Love you gals! God Bless and prayers for all us and our little group!!

tinah1 · 07-28-2009, 10:02 PM

Hi ladies. I it good to see alot of activity on this thread. I am a newbie and I look forward to getting to know all of you.

Tresa-I am sorry you have had such a rough year. I went through a similar situation with my dh many years ago, so I totally understand what you are going through. My dh and I are now getting ready to celebrate our 15th anniversary on Thursday, so wounds do heal. It just takes a while.

Will you guys pray for a job for my dh? He is a CPA and was laid off last month, and to top it off, since then my job has become almost unbearable. It is very stressful. I am praying that my dh will get a good job soon, and I can leave mine.

ryantracy05 · 07-29-2009, 12:28 AM

HELLO LADIES, mind if I join the group? Anytime Christian women can come together and be of help to each other, is a time when God will do amazing things. I have seen it many times and with us all going through pcos, well, what better time then now to be there for one another! I have read the threads from each of you and can say that each of you are coming out stronger from your trials then ever before. WoW, do we serve and amazing God or what. I will be praying for each and every one of you and asking God to hold each and everyone of you up as you go through these trials in you lifes.

litena79 · 07-29-2009, 07:53 AM

Hey Teresa. Just wanted to encourage you to keep on presing into God. He will give you strength when you don't have any. Just bask and breath in new life in Jesus Christ our Lord and savior because He cares for you. The Lord says that He does not give us too much that we cannot handle. Lay down your burdens and your worries and He will carry it for you. Just trust and rest in the Lord. Amen.
Tina- I will definately be praying for your husband to have favor in the land. I will pray that God will open the doors of heaven to bless your food and water. Don't worrie because God is in control and He knows exactly what you need before you even know what you need. God will bless him with the perfect job, even better than his last job and you will be blessed people.
Amber- I know what its like living with parents again. Its not easy but try to focus on the positives and lean on Jesus to help you through this. This to will pass. I know its easier said than done. If you can, try to wake up, no matter what the day may bring and give your day to Him. Choose to be happy. For this is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it.
rayantracy05- It nice to hear from you and I am glad that you found this site. I am new too and glad that I found you guys. You guys are god sent. You sound like you have a really close walk with Jesus Christ. Its good to hear. I look forward to hearing from you again. Take care and have a blessed day.
Talk to you all later. Have an awsome day ladies.

tinah1 · 07-29-2009, 06:41 PM

Lite-Thanks for the prayers and the words of encouragement. I told a friend of mine that we will probably look back at this and see God's hand prints all over it. I know he is in control, and everything will work out, but I can't help but worry sometimes.

Ryantracy05-Welcome! I am new too.

Tera · 07-29-2009, 08:00 PM

Hello Ladies! I'd love to join this group. My name is Tera. I'm 29 years old. I am a Christian. We go to a Church of Christ. I am happily married and we will celebrate our 6th anniversary on Aug. 16th!

I have PCOS, and Type 2 diabetes. I never had periods on my own. I have all the pcos symptoms (hair growth, extra weight in belly, acne, etc.) It sucks!

My husband used to be a Corrections Officer at a Prison but now he is a Probation & Parole Assistant. I am a Domestic Engineer. (Stay at home wife).

We have been ttc since we got married in 2003 and I have never been pregnant. We tried clomid for 3 months in 2003 and it didn't work. I was told by that ob/gyn that if I ever wanted to get pregnant I'd have to see a Fertility Specialist.

Well in 2008 we seen a Fertility Specialist. He told me that I'd have to be on a low carb diet for at least a year before he would even give me clomid. I did the low carb diet until the end of October.

On October 27th my husband and I were on our way home at 11:30pm from getting groceries and we were on the interstate. We had a donut on our car and was going 45mph (which is the max on a donut). Well a Semi-truck came up behind us and plowed right into our car!!

My shoes flew off of my feet(they were regular tie up tennis shoes), my glasses were knocked off my face. Our seats broke. I hit the back of my head very hard on something. We don't know if it was the seat or what. My husband's elbow knocked out the driver side door but he got us safely stopped on the side of the road. We both had our seat belts on.

Anyways the truck driver got out of his truck came to our car and said, "Don't be mad at me." Even though he is the one who hit us! My husband and I both got out of car and my husband yelled at the truck driver. He got scared and got into his truck and wouldn't get out until the Paramedics and highway patrol were there. LOL

Both my husband and I were transported by ambulance on back boards and c-collars.

The highway patrol said we were both very lucky to be alive because almost all calls like that they come to the people are killed. He said we had to have had an angel and God with us that night.

It turned out I had a bad concussion. Ever since the wreck I get very bad migraines daily. My hips were twisted and I was having bad back pain too. I seen a chiropractor for 5 months.

I am still seeing a Neurologist about my migraines. He said he won't release me until i'm headache free for at least 6 months. I am still getting very bad migraines daily right now.

My husband had a C7 fracture in his neck, Large tear in his Labrum, & tore rotator cuff. He had surgery on his shoulder in June and there was a lot more damage in his shoulder than they thought. They had to scrape a lot of stuff out (inflammation etc) then they had to tie stuff down in his arm with string because it was flapping around and wasn't supposed to.

Bill is starting physical therapy next week and has to do it 2 to 3 times a week for 4 to 6 weeks. He has a follow up appointment on Aug. 24th.

Once we get released from our doctors then we can settle with the Semi-trucks insurance company.

Please keep us in your prayers.

My husband and I both have been taking Fertilaid since April. It helped me start having periods on my own for the last few months. I even ovulated on my own for the very first time last month! I did start another period on my own monday. But at least i'm having them on my own. :o) I never had periods without taking provera before so I have hope that the Fertilaid will help us get pregnant.

You can buy it at www.fertilaid.com The women's help regulate your hormones and the mens help improve the sperm.

I look forward to get getting to know you all and hoping to make some good friends.

I also have myspace and facebook. Feel free to add me on there if you want to.
My e-mail addy so you can add me to those is tes7@hotmail.com

Hope to hear from you all soon.
xoxo
Tera

Tresa · 07-29-2009, 08:17 PM

Lite, I am so sorry, I misread how a post as written and I thought it was saying Tina's stepson. So sorry! I see now it is yours! I hope I read that right. I was tired yesterday and today. Hope you can forgive me!

I need to go my 2 yo is into everything he shouldn't be......
