Oh wait - I googled it! I know what this is, but the name wasn't familiar to me. It's 'cupping'.
Quote:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijama
Hijama حجامة . "sucking") is the name in Arab traditional medicine for wet cupping, where blood is drawn by vacuum from a small skin incision for therapeutic purposes.[1] Hijama is generally performed by Muslims as it is a form of medicine specifically mentioned and encouraged by the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Among other hadith, it is mentioned in that recorded by Muhammad al-Bukhari (5263) and Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj (2952), saying "Hijama is among your best remedies" (خير ما تداويتم به الحجامة).
Assalamualeykum,dear Gracedmind i apologise for putting just the arabic word ,i should have thought about it as i am not arab my self,
dear DiamondInTheRough,jasakhillah ukheira for the link i will go and have a look Insha'Allah!
WaleykumSalam
Aw! I typed a really long message and something happened, it all got lost. Now I am typing again.
IMG2005, sister, alhamdulillah, I am so happy for you! Sincerely happy! InshaAllah you'll have a healthy, beautiful and most importantly a pious child.
Gracedmind, how did you with your sleep study? I want my husband to get one too, he snores horribly. He talks in his sleep too, he even answers my questions .
Today, on 11dpo, I tested BFN. I am not losing my hope as I've been getting a lot of symptoms, which I usually don't get around this time of my cycle. I've had terrible heartburns and a little nausea since yesterday, I keep burping (sorry) and I've been bloated and very gassy for the last 3-4 days. I might blame all this gastro symptoms onto metformin but I've been on it since Sept. My boobs are achy/sore, I don't normally get this either.
I'll wait till Sunday to test again as AF is due on Saturday evening.
The pressure coming from both my family and husband's family is increasing. My sis in law fell pregnant unwillingly, she cried her eyes out once she found out, because it's her third child and they just bought a house and paying for it and the child will be a financial burden on them... blah! I was so pissed off and cried when I heard all this. This is a baby coming, not a monster or disease, a beautiful gift from God! Allah will give its sustenance, God is the most merciful! He is the giver of all things! I can't tell you enough how much I am mad at her. Out of Allah's "karaam and loutf" the baby turns out to be a girl. She has two sons and there is no girls in the family at all. Now I am jealous, I admitted it to my hubby too, he just laughed and hugged me, I am not a jealous person normally, but her not wanting the child and the baby being a girl made me crazy! Astaghfirullah! Ya Rabb! You know what's in my heart, grant me what I want and make it 'Khair' for me.
Sorry ladies, I went a lil bit too far and wrote too much. Pray for me please, this time be it inshaAllah.

Rusalka - You are so right what you said about Allah SWT providing the financial sustenance. Your SIL sounds like she's under a lot of stress/pressure herself. Insha'Allah when her daughter is born, she'll see things clearly and feel better about her situation.
I'm sorry that your families are putting more pressure. Some people just don't understand, and aren't thankful or mindful of Allah SWT. It's not something in our hands, our fertility. We can do our part from a medical standpoint, but ultimately it is what Allah has ordained for us. If anything, our families should be supporting, not pestering. Don't let it get you down, because you are on the side of the righteous. Don't fear what anyone has to say, just keep with your prayers and this is the only 'communication' that counts.
My hopes are high for you, your symptoms sounds promising, insha'Allah ya Raab this is your time.

Diamond, mashaAllah sister, your posts are real inspiration for me. Thank you very much. I need prayers, I especially need them these days. You're right, any communication besides prayer is unnecessary in my situation. I try not to talk to anyone in the family about this, but they keep asking. I can't believe how ignorant people can get. Don't they ever happen to think that I might be having trouble conceiving? In the end, it is all about what Allah has destined for us. No one else has even a slight bit of influence in this! We're doing what we're supposed to do, and even that is not necessary if Allah wills to grant us children, as we know from Jesus and Mary's(peace be upon them) case.

sisters, please pray for me, i'm due next week and the baby is not fully engaged yet, i don't want to be induced, so please pray that i'll give birth naturally!
miria- InshAllah you have a safe and natural delivery! I'm sure you are very excited and ready to get the baby out lol.
Rusalka- Your situation sounds very fusturating but insAllah khair. I am praying that you get your BFP. Argh, families can be so annoying and discouraging at times! On another note, your chart looks good. I've been bad and stopped tracking my temps. I need to start again inshAllah.
Diamond- thanks for the english translation.
My sleep study went alright. I was waiting for the results because I wanted to share them with you guys. They had be hooked up to sooo many machines and it was hard trying to sleep with all this stuff hooked up to you. The following morning I had an EKG, OGTT, and some blood work done.
Hope everyone is well!
Masalaam

I am sorry I haven't been posting. Guess what, I am finally in the US... and ready to start TTCing again, at least in my head. We need paper work done, I need to get my SSN, insurance ... all that... so I guess by this summer we should be seeing a doctor here, I am so nervous... but excited...
Rusalka,
I've just made my peace with it... the pressures, that is. For the longest time people in our families supposed we were preventing pregnancy until we got to the US. And now that I am here, I expect direct questions from them. But what can we do? Allah's will it shall be.
Miria,
I'll pray for you inshAllah... I am so happy it's just a matter of a couple of days now for you, Alhamdulillah. Pray for all of us when you're in labor, sister!
All my other sisters, any of you nearby?

Happy New Hijra Calender and New Year to you all. I am glad to see that everyone is doing well.
Alhamdulilah I am fine too. I will try to post more Insha Allah.
Rania have you start TCCing again ? Adam wants someone to play with and it does not seems to be happening...............well I am trying I hope Allah answers our prayers soon.
Salam sisters. I need your help. I'm going to share something with you that I haven't yet, w inshallah I can get your help. I have a daughter, Sarah, who was born with blood on her brain. She had to have surgery when she was one day old to remove it. However, about 1/4 of her brain has died and she was given the diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy. Sarah is 2 1/2 years old but she cannot walk, talk, crawl, or even feed herself. We always said hamdillah for what Allah has given us especially because I have a very hard time getting pregnant with the PCOS. However, since August, my husband and I found out about treatment for Sarah in China. Many others have gone and gotten better. Not 100% better, but were able to start taking steps and saying a few words.
Recently, we decided that we were going to take Sarah to China for this treatment. We have set up a blog for her at http://helping-sarah.blogspot.com It has all the details about her condition and I'm going to be tracking her journey from now until we are able to take her to China.
I hope that you all can join me in praying and giving duaa' for my daughter's recovery. Also I would like to ask a favor that you pass the blog address to your family and friends so that they are able to read about Sarah and pray for her. I need all the duaa' I can get for her. Also I've linked all the information about stemcell research and cerebral palsy so that others who visit the site can learn more about it. Perhaps it can help a loved one who has a similar condition.
Thank you everyone for reading my post, inshallah you will be able to help my daughter.

You are so right what you said about Allah SWT providing the financial sustenance. Your SIL sounds like she's under a lot of stress/pressure herself. Insha'Allah when her daughter is born, she'll see things clearly and feel better about her situation.
