Hello.

I wanted to share with all the women ttc hope and faith. I would like to share with you my testimony. I was ttc for 1 1/2 and then my doctor started me on clomid. I did a total of 6 rounds of clomid and 3 iui's. Each month I prayed and prayed to God that he would bless me with a child. Each month that passed I felt bad. But. I never stop praying to God and thanking Him for the opportunity that I could have gotten pregnant, because I was ovulating just not getting pregnant. It was xmas time and I was on my 4th round of clomid. I fasted, prayed and prayed to God that He would bless me with a pregnancy for Xmas. But it never happened. Feb was my last time doing clomid and then I was to move to injections. So I took a month off to prepare my body. I went back in April to start my shots.... and the Lord had answered my prayers. All I could do what say thank u ..thank u Lord. Doc's told me I wouldnt ovulate on my own but God was with me. So Im 12 weeks pregnant now and my due date is Dec 30.. so God did decide to give me a baby for Xmas. I hope this encourages you. tasha

That's wonderful....

Thanks for sharing that with us. Sometimes it gets hard to hang in there and not to give in to the temptation of self-pity. It's stories like these that I love to hear.

May you have the happiest, most healthful, and uneventful nine months possible.

Congratulations!! Praise God for answered prayers. I just read an article today that was really touching. It was about a study of women who were all trying to conceive. Well the people doing the study gave a list of half the women to people and churches all around to pray for conception for these women. Well sure enough all the women on the prayer list conceived children during the study while only some of the others did. Prayer does work and we may not always feel God is listening and answering, HE always is!! I am a true believer of prayer and God's timing. HE knows all things and we may not understand, but will in time. We tried to conceive baby #2 for 3 years and did not understand why exactly it was not happening. But during this past 3 years I have learned all these things about my body and how to take better care of me. I know in God's timing it will happen!! Keep me in your prayers. You will be in mine during your pregnacy. You are truly blessed!! Keep us posted on your growth. Hugs!!

Thank you for your testimony. I am a firm believer that God will grant me another child when the time is right according to his plan.

When ttc #1 in '99, nothing really happened. I went through the standard infertility workup, was dx with PCOS, and was to begin clomid after my next AF was induced with Provera. I was praying the entire time I was ttc, but during the very trying time of testing and drug therapies, I also had a friend who was praying for me. We both believed that God would bless me soon with a child, but it was up to a time of his choosing. I took the Provera and I didn't get AF...and found out the very next day that I was pg! My body ovulated on it's own, without the drugs, when my doctor said it was extremely unlikely to do so. I give God the glory for creating that miracle of life within me...my ds was born in March of 2000.

We are now ttc #2, without any luck. I will begin clomid again with my next cycle. Sure I have my dark days when I'm sad and wonder if we'll ever have another beautiful child, but I continue to count my blessings, remember God's past miracles, and pray for his blessing in the future.

May his peace be with you all.

this does encourage me Tasha! My husband and I are currently trying to conceive. My doctor is having me chart my BBT to see if I ovulate at all. So far my periods are anovulatory. I know that if it is in the will of my Higher Power, I will have a child. I continually pray that I will be blessed with a child, but I know that it has to be both in God's plan and His time. I am so excited that you are pregnant. Congratulations! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for a healthy pregnancy and birth. Thank you for your story, and words of encouragement. It is good to know that there are success stories out there.
Take Care,
