Good morning ladies.. Sorry I haven't posted and asked how everyone is.. Been so busy with work again and I am done for 2 weeks on December 23rd till January 9th.. So this baby need to come between those 2 weeks.. lol... Hubby is worried all the time that my water will break while he is at work before the 23rd.. Since this is my 4th who knows if she will come early or not.. So far I have had 4 U/S's crazy I know but they want to make sure she is ok all the time.. I found out that at 32 weeks I have Low Amniotic Fluids so they are now keeping an eye on that.. But on another note we hired a lady to come to our house and do my belly casting for this Sunday so exciting... Never done one.. And the following weekend doing my maternity photo shoot and than what was supposed to be my surprise baby shower.. So time is just a flying...
thats great watch!!! Well im down to 6 days left and waiting!!! on monday i was 2cms dialated but baby was sittting high so dr did a stretch and sweep to help things along. So im hoping soon!!! Dh is working until Sat at 5pm then off for 4 days so im hoping it happens during that time lol
Watch and sherry: I hope that you get the babies when u want them to. It is so exciting that you are so close. I cant believe that you guys are right there at your due dates.
Im still trying but naturally for the last few months. I am guessing that God will bless us eventually. This was our first thanksgiving with the boys. I loved it. I cant wait until we have a house full of children for the hollidays.
Hey ladies its been waaaaay too long I know I know lol last time I was here I think Sherry had just gotten her BFP wow. Well Marley is a 10.5mo now, shes a crawling, gabbering, sassy little thing. I think she'll be walking before Christmas. DH and I decided to split up a few months ago. Its been a rough road. A year ago today I was very pregnant, very in love and couldn't imagine life without him. I suffered major PPD
after I had her and he couldn't deal with it. We are still best friends, still live together, and still raise her together, but we are no more. It's been bittersweet. On one hand
I feel like I failed Marley. I went through years of treatment and trying for her, and me and her father couldn't make it through her first year of life without splitting up. On the other hand
interests and whatnot. I guess life has a way of switching it up when you never see it coming lol. Glad to see a few of you are still trying, don't ever give up! Miracles happen!!! :o)
I hate things didnt go the way you planned. I am glad u have some one but remember if u are still bf with your x and live together then you could make it work in the future. The two of you went through some hard stuff together.
Ladies: my oldest was so sick yesterday and the day before. He was throwing up. I cant believe how well dh handled it. I dont do throw up. It makes me puck!!! WE were washing the chair out. poor dh got it all over him because he was holding our little guy when he puked. Well now i am feel sick. i had heart burn
and the back of your mouth for the last two days. the smells of breakfast made me want to throw up this morning. I couldn't believe how quick i took it form the little guy. I never got threw up on but i am the one that got sick. Now J is feeling better thank the Lord.
Ok so some good news one of my other really good friends just announced she is pregnant. She sent it out in her Christmas cards.

I couldn't believe how quick i took it form the little guy. I never got threw up on but i am the one that got sick. Now J is feeling better thank the Lord.

I am 35 weeks and 2 day. Time is going by fast. I go for an ultrasound tomorrow. I can not wait i have not had any ultrasound since 20 weeks. Every thing is going good with my GD. She is measuring two cm bigger then she is should to be. So we will find out big she is tomorrow with the ultrasound. I will post with any update in the next couple of days to let you know how that ultrasound went.

every thing went great with my ultrasound. she is 5 pounds 11 oz. and they think she should be around 7 1/2 to 8 pounds when she is born. We had a 3d ultrasound it was very neat. I can not believe that I any have about 4 weeks left. cannot wait to see her.
Carrie that is awesome.. How are you feeling these days??
Rmmoye.. My fingers are crossed for you girl..
Anyone hear from Sherry yet?
Well my update found out yesterday that I have high blood pressure and protein in my urine.. So I am taking it easy now.. They have me checking my blood pressure over the weekend.. I have another Dr's appt Mon and I will be 36 weeks and our hospital only delivers 36 weeks and up so I think they are holding up off till we reach that point.. My Dr's partner wanted to deliver our baby in the next couple days.. But our Dr which is just my Dr through out the pregnancy she is not my family DR.. Wants to wait till Monday and see how things are..
Watch: Maybe you will make it at least another week. Everyday your little one stays in is better for her. Plus if u can hold out anothe couple of weeks then dh will already have off. If not then maybe u can make it until next weekend so he can be there with you and then someone can sit with you while he works that next week. GL let us know how u are doing.
Sherry where are u? did u have that bundle of joy yet?
I went to start another iui cycle this month and they found a cyst on my ro. Now they are putting me on BCP's. It looks like it is just not my time.
My oldest ask me yesterday about a baby. He said are we going to have a baby in our home? Mommy you have a baby and he is at our home right? I said no baby? He then said mommy you going to have have? I want a baby at home! We need another baby! i told him mommy wanted another baby at home too but that we have right now. He wanted to know why not and when he could have another baby. I was glad he couldn't see my eyes because he was in the back and i was driving. I teared up. I never thought my child would ask about me having him a little brother or sister. I just assumed since he had a little brother that topic would never come up.
Hi all sorry - been baby busy lol. Chase Alfred was born on Dec 2 at 7:54 am. Was a super fast labour (thank god) and all was well. He was 9lbs 3 oz (i almost croaked lol) I will post pics as soon as I can.!!! Our daughter is in love with him and has been a huge help. She helps feed him and change him. So weird to see so many others coming up to their due dates also. This year has gone by so fast. I will check in soon time to go get dd from school. :) Thanks for all your best wishes ladies :)
Sherry: So happy to hear labor was good and fast. Been checking on here to see if you had him! Congrats :)
Watch: Hope you can wait a bit longer so all is good. Keep us posted, thinking about you.
Rmm: I am so sad for you, I cannot imagine :( Hang in there, your time will come, I still believe that.
All is good here, my son loves his sis and so cute. We are getting their pics done this weekend for Christmas so will post. I cant believe she is almost 6 months now
Rmm. I hope one day is your day.. It will happen when you least expect it.. DH is done work as soon as I go to the hospital no matter what.. I don't start my holidays till the 23rd.. But I do have on call staff to cover me.. And now I am on bed rest I have ppl working for me
Sherry.. Thats great news... Can't wait to see pictures..
Trying... I can't believe she is almost 6 months as well.. Time flies..
We are trying to hold off as long as we can so she can bake more...
Wow, that you for making me cry so early in the am, my heart aches for you. Thank God for bringing those 2 amazing boys into your life. You will have a baby soon too, to keep you even more busy =)
Sherry- Congrats! Wow over 9 lbs!
As for me i hit 32 weeks yesterday, im so anxious to meet my little one and reading everyone's birth stories makes me even more so.
Thanks ladies for the prayers. I still have faith that God bless me with a baby. Ladies we sign the intent papers on the boys thuesday if all goes well.
Dh confessed that he didn't ever expect this to happen for us but it was ok because we had the boys. I still have faith.
I decided that jessie could no longer be my bf. She is just too rude!
Sherry 9 lbs. Wow!. U go girl.
Watch I can't belive u and Carry are so alose to your time.
Trying post those pictures. I will post mine. I already tied twice but it just didn't like it. Will ty again soon.
i am doing good. I am getting tired alot more. I went to the doctors on monday and I was already 2 1/2 cm dilated and 80% effaced. my doctor does not think I will make it to Jan 1st so it could be any time. I can not wait to see her.
Thanks for all your well wishes! things have been great with dh and I and he's really helping out alot with the baby. Chase is now 2 weeks old and im loving every minute of it. So as most of you know dh and i almost gave up trying for this baby after 2 1/2 years and we thought we were done - so last night he says to me so we gonna start tryin for # 3? i was caught offguard and was like its been 2 weeks!! can my body heal first lol So Im thinkin we may try for a third now knowing that i have pcos and where to begin with everything. I would like to try asap though knowing how long it took for this one. But after that im done and he will be gettin fixed!!
I know i will post pics soon I promise. He's sucha a cutie
Just checking in on everyone. It has been so nice to be home with my little ones over the holidays. I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas!!! I will try to post these pics now.
Carrie... baby yet?
rmm... i havent given up on you!
Sherry... thats geat dh wants to try again! I am ready but dh isnt on board yet.
Also, i think kellie lost the baby, i was lookin on her page at her posts
hi everyone!! It's been awhile. I've had so much go on in the last few months but I'm surviving it all. I'm 35 weeks today and am officially on maternity leave :-) I so need to rest and get ready for my little peanut!!! I filed for divorce in Sept. We had planned on waiting until after the baby but he gave me no choice. He left me with the mortgage and all the bills, he was coming after me for our dd and after living with his new girlfriend and her two daughters for 20 days he called them his new family. After that i knew I had to take care of myself and file. It got alittle ugly there for a moment but I was able to get physical custody of our daughter :-) I also got him to sign over both of our houses to me. So I own them both :-) It was very hard to say good bye to our dream home but I was able to get renters in it and they move in next month. My dad and his wife just bought a new house close by to me so me and my dd moved in with them and will stay for a few months after the baby is born to get back on our feet. my family and friends have been so supportive and my dd and my baby girl have given me so much strength to move on. It does sadden me. I loved my dh. I have known him since I was 20. But i now don't recognize him. I know I'll be ok without him. I'm just trying to get ready for my baby girl and I know my dd will be the best help. Hope you all have a great new year!!!
Sherry: congrats on your baby boy. Hope you are doing well.
Rmm: God does have a plan for us all. I know that for a fact. Hang in there. Hope 2012 is your year :-)
carrie & jojo hope you are both doing well. your little ones will be here soon :-)
trying: I can't believe your little girl is already 6 months. Time sure flies by
Carlismama I am glad u did what was best for u. This is so crazy to think that after 20 years someone could stay so far. He eill wake up but too late. How did your in laws take it. Did they tell him off. I'm glad your father could help out.
We had a great vacation. I got sick lastnight and then the kids got on the way home today. I can't take puck and that is what we all were doing. Plus thus is my time to try. Oh well.
Carlismama- That is so awful what he's done to you, im happy to see you're remaining positive.
Rmm- Getting sick on vacation really stinks! I got sick on our last vacation too.
Carrie- Did you have the baby yet??
Trying- Im glad to hear everything is going so great!
As for me, im 35 weeks now with 33 days to go. Im starting to get so impatient and uncomfortable. Im hoping she's a week or 2 early (but no sooner than that) I have her bag packed, and i stuck a couple things in my suitcase, i also have my breast pump ready to go in case we have latching issues. Breastfeeding is a top priority for me this time around, with my boys i got frustrated and gave up too soon. Happy Holidays everyone!
jojo: I cant believe u are this close. I am sure things will go fine for u. I cant wait to hear all of u ladies have made it and have those little bundle of joy in your arms.
Carrie: I pray and hope u get child support for both children and almoney for your self. he owes u at least that much.
I am doing much better today. We have slowed down on being now that we are back off of vacation. On vacation we were around each other all the time so it was happening several times a day. We bd yesterday morning and we will bd tonight and then again thursday night and hope we hit it this go round. We didnt avoid hot tubs, drinking or foods. I said if other women can do it on drugs then i can do it on a fun vacation not following any rules.
Well everyone sorry I haven't posted in a bit.. We ended up having our daughter a bit quick. Had a Dr's appt Thursday and they had to get me started to have her.. My water levels where low and she wasn't getting what she needed from me. So she was born Thursday Dec 29th at 10:47pm weighing in at 7lbs 04ozs. I was also kept in the hospital till yesterday Baby Norah had jaundice and I had a attack while i was in there.. Pretty scary stuff
wow lots going on!! I finally posted a pic of my kidlets lol As for me Things have been ok. Chase is eating like 4.5 ounces every 3 hours (and im pushing it to 3) he wants to eat every 2 but too much for his lil tummy to take. He recently caught a cold so been extremly fussy and waking up crying all day with high pitched cry. Verry stuffy. Hes getting better since i put the humidifier in his room and started putting saline in his nose. Hes feeding every 2 hrs now so hopefully i can get him back to 3 hrs once hes not sick
Wow Carlis thats crazy but im glad that you have great support all around you.
Watch :) Cant wait to see pics :)
Jojo - That last month is the hardest i think - seems to drag on but knowing its coming to an end is exciting!!
Rmm: It def ***** getting sick on vacay. I hope your doing well otherwise and enjoyed the holidays with the boys. They musta been so excited this year
We are doing better now. This yea was great. It was nice having kids. Life has changed a lot from this tim last year.
We r enjoying tying for a 3rd. I'm laying here right now paying that all of this esting after bd helps the spem swim bette and faster. Cervix is high and cm is wet and clear and stetchy.
We had our baby girl on christmas day. she was the best gift ever. she is doing great. Brooke is feeding ever 3 hrs. We could of not asked for a better baby she only cry when she is hungery.
congrats girls. I am so excited for u. This just gives me hope that when i do get prego the next time it will stick.
i am so confussed with my cycle. cm is clear i am staying very wet. cervix is high but hard/ firm. my boobs are leaking again and some what sore. they burn.
ok so question for u guys if u remember any of this from the beginning of your pregnancy.
If u are comfortable with this only. What color are the rings around your boobs. are they very soft or firm? can u tell me how far u were and what position your cervix was in and if it is hard like the end of your nose or soft like lips. also if u felt a dimple like opening.if u don't mind sharing your cm. that would be great too.
mine is hard, high, and has the dimple so that means it is open i think. I am still having clear wet cervical mucus all the time.

Hey ladies - just checking in! Ava is now 8 wonderful months and so stinking cute! I will try and post more pictures soon. She melts my heart!
I see a lot of our group has split with dh - I totally understand this. DH and I are struggling too, but making an effort to stay together. Some people think that having kids brings you closer together, when in fact it adds another wrench to the pile. Simple math says you just don't have as much time to work on the relationship! But we do see common ground and have promised to work with each other at least once a week to get things back on track. So far, so good. :)
amanda: stay strong and keep working hard at your marriage. I am sure things will work out for the best of you and your family. Thank you for your prayers!!!! I know God will bless me with a little one soon. I am claiming it. His time and his will.
I am currently on cd 23. on cd 21 boobs leaked so much i had to change my shirt. my breast have been leaking for 2 weeks now. cd 22 cm was ew and stretchy. before tha for a week i had clear wet cm some days thicker then others. cd 19-21 cervix was really high to the point i could not really feel it. it is a little bit lower now.
my cycles have been crazy here lately i had a 33 day cycle tested and neg and then started. then i had a 17-18 day cycle. now i am on cd 23.
Glad to hear everything is going well for you, and that you and DH are working on your relationship. A new addition to the family can cause friction because you have to figure out your new roles as parents and husband and wife.
Im also worried about my DH and i and a new baby in the house, we are already starting to butt heads a little bit. Im tired of being pregnant and he's tired of my mood swings. We also had to have a nice long chat yesterday. We both took the day off work and talked while the kids were at school.
Well I had my 6 week checkup yesterday and all was well!! I got the go ahead to start working out! He then asked about birth control and I kinda laughed cause i said well write me the script but dh and I may try for #3 so not sure if i will take. Then I asked when i shold start getting period cause of my pcos I dont always get one . I had to take provera to start my cycles last time. He said it depends. So he said i could take the bc pill for one month to jump start but i think i may still have a script for provera and may just do that (its alot quicker and the pill kinda defeats the purpose lol) But he did a pap and also said that my cervix is really high and lots of cm so could be o (but not sure if thats possible without starting a cycle?? ) Anywhoo excited to start charting again!
it is possible because u lose so much blood during delivery. i have heard of women doing it.
I decided that i would not test this morning and would wait until this afternoon or tomorrow
my boobs burn in the nipple area. i cramped a little lastnight and this morning. my lower back is killing me on both sides now. I am bloated!! nausea has eased up so much that i would say i am not having it any more.
I am not going to read into the signs. I am just going to say it is in Gods hands and the signs point both ways.
do any of you remember any of your signs or sympthoms.
rmm- are you doing a completely unmedicated cycle this time? Just charting alone? Keep going strong girl! :) And looking back at my symptoms from before my bfp, they were a lot like af symptoms. It was so similar. The only difference was I had a tiny tiny spot of blood a few days before I tested positive. I never get break thru bleeding.
For those interested, I uploaded some new pics of Ava today. Be prepared to be AMAZED. She is darling...will take your breath away! :)
my symptoms were my typical AF symptoms, especially the cramping. I was POSITIVE af was going to come. Also i kept thinking everything smelled like pee, and food tasted extra salty. Also i had acid in my throat. FX for you!! GOOD LUCK!
Sherrycoup- Wow! I hope you get another bfp soon =) Im so miserable right now i think that if i were pregnant so soon after this one i'd probably cry! lol but i hope you get your 3rd bundle soon
as for my update
first of all 18 days til my due date!!
I had my 37 week appt yesterday, my belly measured at 38cm. The baby is perfect and probably around 6 1/2 lbs. I am now 2cm dilated and still 30 % effaced. She hasnt dropped anymore either, but she's still low. Best news my dr says she'll strip my membranes at my next appt. if i havent had her by then!! im so happy! Even though i was stripped with my 1st pregnancy and it did nothing, i just have a feeling it will put me in labor. After all i had my last baby at 37 weeks all on my own
amanda: yes it is all on my own. my last medicated cycle was in August. I am praying and hoping that this all natural thing works for me.
jojo: gl girl. it sounds like u are more then ready. maybe she will come on her on
ALL: i got a call today and the judge will sign off on the adoption on the 30th. Ladies i would love nothing more then to get pregnant right after we signed the papers and have everything go through right after we find out we are prego.
I am having some pain near my belly button (left side) that started about 30 mins ago after i opened a 5 gal bucket of paint. it is not like mens cramps.
so cycles have been : 29days, 25d(iui cycl), 29d, 23d, 30d, 17d, and now i am on cd 29
Hey it is dead on here. Just a quick up date. The judge signs the official adoption papers on the 30th. I am so beyond excited. I cant wait o hold that birth certificate.
My baby turns two on the 28th. I am having him a very small party 3 kids including him and family. I am doing pig in a blanket and chips with dip. that is it. I am blowing up a pool for the kids to play with balls in. I have said no gifts . trust me my family wont listen. my mom already bought stuff so did my mil. We have stuff. this kid has a lot of stuff.
on another note cd 34 no af. Major cramps. till i went to the bathroom. I am having bad dreams every morning. this morning it was about me losing control of my emotions. In the dream i went off on random people who were not being helpful or who were rude to me. then in the dream i went into an uncontrollable sob. I am claiming this baby!!!
Rmm It would be very exciting to get the boys official adoption papers. Hope you get your bfp soon it is your turn.
jojo how are you doing. have you had your baby yet?
How every one else is doing good !!!!
I am doing great. Baby Brooke is growing like crazy. She goes back to the doctors next Monday for her next cheek up. Can wait to see how much she wights.
no baby yet =( 11 days til my due date, but i have a Dr appt today and she is going to give me a sweep! I hope that jumpstarts labor, but you just never know. Im getting so uncomfortable, and anxious to meet her. Im sure you know just what im talking about!
RMM- Im so excited for you! and of course the grandparents wont listen, it's their job to spoil them rotten =) Have fun at the party.
Help with ideas. so dh and i are planning our next vacation. We have grandparents keeping the boys. Now to decide where to go. I need ideas. We like adventure. I love proug in the chic repuplic ( sp) . We are game for out of the country!!!! I wanted macchu piccu peru. I will have to get shots that i am not sure i can while prego.I like to see stuff and not just shop. adventure is key for our travel.
As for me i started bcp 2 days ago to jump start my cycle. That will give dh and i one mth to decide if we're gonna try again. If we are then i will just stop taking and if not then we keep on taking bcp!! The funny thing is if i end up having a 32 day cycle like i was i will O on the same date as i did when i got preggo with Chase which means they could posibly be born around the same day lol. Wishful thinking getting preggo on first round.. I would only be taking synthroid and debating to take the metformin as those were the 2 things i took when i got preggo.
Chase is finally getting over his cold. He only cat naps during the day which ***** for me but on a good note hes starting to sleep 7 hours at night :) He will be 8 weeks this Friday. He is a big baby though lol at 4 weeks he was 11lbs 12 oz so im thinkin like 14 lbs now lol hes already in 6 mth sleepers. I have some really cute pics that i will try to post for you guys :)
I have never considered portugal or cyprus. I did have Greece on the list but it is too dangerous for now. England and London cost too much. Egypt is on the list. I will look into those. Have u visited either of these? what did u do there?
Bfn this morning I guess it is looking more and more like dh is right. I am wait to hear from God about when it will happen. I am praying i am still prego but i am so dizzy right now i am kind of doubting it. I haven't felt this dizzy in a long time. Waiting to see if af shows her ugly head.
i wasted the test!!! dh knows best. af just showed up. next time i will trust him and not my self. it is just not meant to be for me. this july will be 5 years. maybe it is time to throw in the towel and accept that my two little one that i am about to adopt is it for me.
And as a European one off the topic question: Why is Greece dangerous? And how can it be more dangerouss than Egypt? It is really beoynd my comprehension:) I do not see Greece more dangerous than London ihihih
Egypt is just as dangerous are Greece if not more. But in Greece they are having riots and if u look at the news they are advising tourist to stay away. I wanted to go 2 years ago and when i talked to the travel agent they said it was getting pretty bad. Now that we have adopted the two little ones we cant go too crazy on our trips.
London isnt having riots or death treats against tourist. But it cost too much for our budget.
I am praying that I dont have to pay a ton for my meds and cycle this time. the re office was able to give me some meds. I am on a new one call Follistim Right now it is 125 per day from cd 2-cd 5. I got back in tomorrow for bw and us and see if her changes it at all.
Happy note:::: the judge signed the court order giving us the boys and changing there names this morning!!!
Im really starting to get desperate to have this baby girl. Im so tired of the pain and discomfort that being this pregnant has caused, but mostly i just want to meet her. I think about little things like i want to play with her tiny feet and lay her little naked body on my bare chest. Im going insane WAITING everyday just WAITING. Im so blessed to be pregnant, but it must come to an end soon. I tried to get pregnant for nearly 1 year, and now ive been pregnant just shy of 10 months. I NEED MY BABY!!
I had my 39 week check up on yesterday and i was 3cm, 50-60% effaced. She stripped my membranes for that 2nd time and throughout the night last night i had cramping and brown bloody mucous, now today nothing. Im losing hope that she'll even be here before her due date in 4 days. Im really trying to just enjoy these last few days of being pregnant but even that's becoming impossible. Please let me meet you little one!
jojo I was over a week late!!! My poor mother had to wait 12 extra days. but her labor was quick and not that painful. Good luck girl.
All: I went in again today I have 3 follicles. 1- 16 on the r 1- 12.5 r 1- 15 on the L. I am hoping re lets them grow a little bigger so we will have 3. I know he will at least give me one more night of meds. I figure if i get 3 good ones and at least 1 takes then that gives me teh same chance as i have had in teh past. If i get at least 2-3 to take then if i lose one i will still have a baby.
I am so excited to have 2 strong follicles. i will let u know what the nurse calls and tells me.
jojo Thing will get better soon your baby girl will be here. I know it is hard to wait but your time will come. have you walked some times that will help. good luck . hope she come soon for you so you can meet her.,
rmm good luck hope thing work out for you . It is your turn.
Brooke is doing great we went to the doctors yesterday for her 5 week cheek up . she is now 9 # 7oz and 21 in long. I can not believe how fast she is growing. I go for my 6 week cheek up on Monday.
Rmm... stay positive! I only needed 1 and have faith that you do too!!
I am good :) These two are keeping me VERY busy but I love it so much
Sherry... that would be exciting to get preg so easily! I dont have af while bf so still no af and my baby girl is pushing 8 mos. It was same way with my ds:)
o so he is my update
I hat 3 good follicles. friday they were 17 15.6 and 15.4. I did another dose of 125 folistim that night and then trigger at 330 am Sunday morning iui was delayed by 2 hours because re was in surgery late. My 1st re came back in to do it so i didnt have to wait even longer. iui was at 500pm. dh got a u the man from the nurse. sperm count 160 mil with 100% modality. im so excited! I am feeling good about this one. I get to test on the 20th. I have sex again tomorrow night and start crinone Wednesday morning. Re wants me to stay on crinone.
I am hoping this tww flys by I am sure parts of it will be slow but having the boys will make it go quicker.

I read about the women in the bible that were barren. there were 7. WE know God blessed 6 of them. I posted it below if u want to read it. Keep me up to date. We will be here for each other.
The First Barren Woman
Sarai (Sarah)
The number seven here is an interesting one since it usually means some completed act by God. These seven women were devout and there was no reason to punish these ladies with barrenness. The first one was mother Sarai later called Sarah. She waited until she was in her nineties before she bore Isaac which means laughter. He was the child of promise and from her barrenness all the nations would be blessed so in a sense this one child is the beginning of that blessing to all of the nations mentioned in Isaiah 54:1 above. See a better explanation in Galatians 4:27.
The Second Barren Woman
Rebekah
The second woman was Rebekah. Not only was Isaac's mother barren so was his own wife Rebekah. The odds of this happening in three consecutive generations naturally are phenomenal. She prayed and then Isaac petitioned God and when she finally conceived after twenty years of marriage she had twins. These two sons were battling in her womb for the full nine months and distressed her so much that she asked the Lord God why. His answer was that two very different nations are in her womb. One that God would love and protect and one that he would not. In Malachi 1:2-3 it says that God hated Esau but loved Jacob. From Jacob comes the House of Israel, the chosen family from whom God would call his first fruits as a body of witnesses to his ways, beginning with his only begotten Son Jesus the Christ.
The Third Barren Woman
Rachel
The third woman was Jacob's beloved wife, Rachel. She was the younger of two sisters. Jacob's uncle deceived him as he had deceived his father Isaac. Rachel produced two very important sons but only two. Joseph who symbolized the Christ in Egypt for his family because his character brought physical salvation to them from a severe famine. The youngest child in this family was Benjamin and Rachel lost her life giving birth to this child. Rachel's surrogate child through Bilhah her maid was Dan who is also represented in this list. Does this have something to do with the reference to Rachel's weeping?
"Thus says the LORD: 'A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.' " (Jeremiah 31:15)
"A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, because they are no more." (Matthew 2:18)
The Fourth Barren Woman
Samson's Mother
The fourth woman in the Scripture who was barren was Samson's mother the wife of Manoah of the tribe of Dan. She prayed to God and he permitted her to have one son who was to be one of the strongest physically of all of the judges in that period of Israelite history. Samson was given to the priests of God as a Nazarite vow from his grateful mother and his hair was never cut until a crafty Philistine woman Delilah tricked Samson into telling her what made him so strong and supernaturally powerful. His resolve proved to bring the downfall of the Philistines and their god Dagon.
The Fifth Barren Woman
Hannah
The fifth woman was the second wife of Elkanah the Ephraimite who was called Hannah. She also prayed and they thought that she was drunk but the Lord God heard her prayer and she was given a son called Samuel. She too was grateful and dedicated her only son to the priests of the Lord God of Israel. After he was weaned he lived in the High Priest's house and took over the judgeship when Eli's and his own sons died for their sins. Samuel was responsible for anointing both Kings Saul and David.
The Sixth Barren Woman
Michal
The sixth woman was the first wife of David, Saul's daughter Michal. She loved David but her father took her out of David's house and annulled their marriage and gave her to another. She was the prize for the man who could bring down the dreaded Goliath of Gath. There is some jealousy and broken promises in this story.
The Seventh Barren Woman
Elizabeth
The seventh and final woman of the Scripture was Elizabeth the wife of Zacharias who was barren but in her old age conceived a son. This son was the cousin of Jesus of Nazareth. He was the son of the Levitical priestly clans and was called John the Baptist. Jesus called him the greatest man born of woman. He was killed by Herod the Great to please his stepdaughter's lustful wishes for a charming dance on his birthday.
So when God closes a womb and then opens it there is a very profound reason for doing so. Each of these sons played a vital role in the history of the Nation of Israel and their spiritual or symbolic counterparts in her future. The tribes represented by these six sons are Israel and Esau, Joseph, Ephraim, Dan, Levi, Benjamin. The only one whose womb remained closed was the first wife of David, Michal. And you do notice that each of these women had only sons and NO GIRL CHILDREN showing a special purpose for these miracles to take place in the plan of God.
I get the feeling that these seven women represent the spiritual completion of the necessary steps toward the telling and reception of the gospel message. From the Son of Promise to the Voice Crying in the Wilderness, each one represents some aspect of what we can expect to be fulfilled in the future.
well ladies im cd 12 and tracking temps cause its too hard at this point in time cause i never know when im getting up to feed in the morning. Chase for the most part sleeps 11 hrs at night (which is great for me) he is now 12 weeks old :) I am however using my cbfm. We are gonna try for #3 and looking forward to the day i get my bfp again!! I am still taking synthroid. I took bcp last month to jump start my cycle and boy was it heavy!! sorry tmi i was wearing supers and had to change every 1-2 hrs for 3 days straight! then it just stopped. Other then the monitor i am not doing anything else. no ovulation strips no temping etc....
sherry: i responded yesterday but i guess it didnt post.
I am glad chase is sleeping so well!!! that is great.
Gl with baby number 3. I am guessing dh is doing much better. gl girl. We can be here for each other.
so it looks like there are 3 of us now in the trying game. I will just bd this month. no temps, test strips, or anything else. I dough it will work but at least there is no presser this month. Dh has given up. he says he has all he wants with the two we adopted and that everything else is for me. he said the only thing he would like is a little red headed me running around.
well ladies im very shocked that i actually got a "peak" reading on my cbfm this weekend!! it took me a few months when i forst started using the last time. So dh bd sat and sun (on both peak days) not sure if we'll have a chance this week with his work schedule but this tme we are taking it easy. Im not even telling him when i o or anything just taking it one day at a time. Alot of people think im crazy to be trying right away but they dont realize that i tried for 2 1/2 year on fert meds for chase. It may take one mth or take another 2 years I have no idea but im glad i have you ladies here for me :) This has been the best place to vent and share my thoughts and excitment with.
sherry i am so excited for u. GL. it does make things easier to not know on the guy. What is the thing ru r talking about. can u use the same machine over and over and not have to buy a ton of strips?
I am not even testing this month. we are just bding if we feel like it and if it is Gods will then so be it.
the strips are 59.99 here in canada and the monitor goes for about 220. I bought mine second hand for 60.00 if you go to the clearblue website it will show you how it works
Thnaks for posting the bible words rmm ... after my mc i was adviced to take bed rest . One of those days i was feeling soo down then was switching channels in television and then stopped by one of the channels and there a priest was saying the same things . he was talking about infettility and abortion.And here you have posted the same words... feels like god s trying to tell me something...By religion I am not a chrristian , but loves bible and christian prayers a lot...
btw , I have been experincing lots of watery cm for past four days, It was creamy white on sunday and monday ,(TMI) It is now watrey and stretchy .. i did not get ewcm this cycle.. but i guess I am 7 to 9 dpo today...I am usually dry after ovlatn... Guess its a sign ...
Its so good to see that previous ttc ers are now Moms and then again ttcers...
Godskid84: I am glad i could help u. God does have a way of being there for us. Religion is a man made term. God knows who his children are. He u believe in him and read and follow his word and pray to him U are one of his children.
Just keep trusting him and If u have any more questions about anything in the Bible feel free to ask.
U dont always see the ewcm. I am like u this cycle i dont know where i am. I am just trusting that when it is time God will bless me with each child he has planned for me.
my nps are a little sore from yesterday night . I am using restroom every two hours.Anyways will wait till atleast sunday before testing . Read in a thread that u have booked for IVF . happy for you .
Godskid: yes this is what re wanted me to do. i was going to post it in here today. I will be praying that u are prego. Only God knows. I cant wait for u to say BFP.
Sherry: how u and and your little man and family doing. I am so glad u and dh worked things out. I prayed for u over that one.
ALL: for the rest of u in here i am doing ivf in June and ovarian reserve test and quality test when next af shows up. I am a little nervous but i know it is a part of Gods plan so i am going with it and trusting Him.
Hey all.. Sorry again for me being MIA I am a bad friend.. Well we moved and moved my business as well.. The house we moved to was one of our rental units and boy oh boy our tenant destroyed it.. So we have been fixing everything..
Ivf, how exciting! I can't wait for your bfp. You deserve it more than anyone!
Sherry~ how are things in regards to ttc??
I got my iud back 2 weeks ago and now I'm on my first af since I had Briya. I can't believe she'll be 2 months on the 3rd, where does the time go??? Its so bittersweet to me. She's still such a tiny peanut! She's less than 9lbs :)
hi ladies! well i didnt get preggo last cycle but i did however get my period on its own this month! im now cd 15 so will be bd'in tonight cause i got peak reading yesterday but hubby wasnt home. Last month i got peak on cd 17 so i guess my cycle is trying to sort through itself.
As for baby he is 4 mths today :) and Teething lol hes cranky alot because of it but i know it will be soon over. i cant wait for summer to arrive :)
Hi everyone!!! I am just checking in to see how you all are doing :) My little ones are getting bigger! My baby girl is all over the place crawling and now trying to walk on all the furniture. I just had their pictures done for Easter... My baby is 9 months old now... crazy!!! These two are so cute together!!! I just love watching my little onces interact :)
Sherry: Trying again already? You are brave! I love all my time with my little one and hope to have another one again before too long but not yet... I haven't even started af back up since I had her though :)
Rmm: My boy is 3 1/2 and only weighs 28lbs... he is tiny though which I love! I am sure praying for you to get one of those grants!!! That would be amazing and you deserve it!!!
Sherry : yeah for Af on its own. Maybe u will get a BFP this month.
Wooo he is an early teether. That has to make breast feeding hard.
Trying: No af must be nice since u are not ready to try. 9 months already!!! man how time flys. I cant wait to see those pictures on here. I bet they are just cute!!! I love watching my boys interact too. It is a special bond. I dont mind him being small either because then he still looks like a baby.
I am having awful gas this month and moody but over all good. I am not on any meds. U would think that i was with the way i am acting. I am having to take deep breaths to keep from raising my voice when the boys do something wrong and making simple decision like cloths or what to cook just up set my world if it doesnt come to me quick. This is not me at all.
I think my dh is going to go insane pretty soon lol. I had DD 9 weeks ago. no bding for the first 6 weeks, then at my 6 weeks check-up i got the mirena put back in, and the dr said we needed to wait 1 week to bd. At EXACTLY 1 week after mirena insertion i got my first af since having DD and now 2 weeks later i STILL have af!! Poor guy =(
My baby girl is doing great though. Yesterday was her 2 month appt she weighs 8lbs 3oz and is 21 inches long. She had to get shots and i felt soooo bad.
Rmm nah teething usually starts around 2 mths!! AS for breast feeding - i am not!! I dont't produce enough milk to bf. My dr says a side effeect from pcos. UI also couldnt with my dd either. I tried for 3 mths with her and let me tell you it aint all that its cracked up to be lol Formula works best for me :)
TRying yes we're trying but casually - im not temping. I use my cbfm to see peak reading but thats it. It could take 1 mth or could take 2 years.
Jo jo Wow so tiny!! Chase was 14bs 14.5oz at 2 mths and 25 in long lol
He just had his 4 mth and was 17lbs 14oz and 27 in long!
Sherry: I dont blame u for the formula thing. they sleep better with it. i was going to supplement with it at night so i didn't have to get up as much.
girls my boobs are killing me. they have been for the last 2 days. i am wearing a sports bra all the time. they hurt and burn.
my test results came back amh 1.26 and fsh 8.3 Nurse said they were good.
ok so i ask my re office about there Sart stats ( ivf) she said that they only did cycles at the beginning of last year and non after they got the new re. she said that they did only 1 cycle already this year and that i would be in the 2nd group. I dont think i can stick with a re that does so few ivfs and will not discount prices or do anything for multiple cycles.
Hey ladies how is everyone doing?? Been awhile!!! Any news??????
Any who Norah was 4 mths on April 29th and she is 14 and a half pounds now.. My little chunky girl.. We are still BF tried formula and she will not take it!! I feel as if I BF and pump all the time.. As you all know I went back to work 2 weeks after she was born and my DH took sometime off he goes back to work June 1st.. Not to sure if I am gonna like that at all.. Its been easier with him home.(sometimes) We have our moments we are together like all the time.
He does cooks most of the meals and does the sweeping mopping and dusting.I am hoping he keeps it up when he goes back to work. I do all the dishes and laundry and of course feed our daughter.. But since I have a home daycare it will be hard to nurse and take care of all the other kiddies..
U have been a busy lady. I am dh can help and yes i hope for your sake he keeps it up. 14.5 lbs. wow she is getting big.
I am doing great. i go to see my new re tuesday. he will confirm if i move on to ivf. My cycles are not normal they have been 24, 26, 28 days the last 3 in order. this one is unknown. i am on cd 22 and today ew cm. who knows. i posted a picture. I am hoping that i will get pregnant soon so that everyone in our forum will be able to say that we all got pregnant and had babies.
dh and i will be leaving the boys for the first time for a week in June. WE are going to machu picchu peru, and cuzco. i am so excited. I need a break and a vacation. we havent traveled since my second mc.
my cycles are all here and there since my mc in december ... last cycle AF visited me day 45 .. and today is CD47 of next cycle .. but i saw some ewcm on CD41 and CD42 , hope that was ovulation ...
on CD38 , I visited an ayurvedic doctor , he gave me some meds to cleanse my body . asked me to take the medicine for a month . I feel that i have done enuf damage to my body witn the clomid , letrozole and the injectibles ... now need to bring back the healthy me ...
rmm... what were ur cycles like after your mc s ?will it take time before u have everything in order ..?
Well for the most part they were normal. actually after my lst one they were with in 30 days. I think i had one that was up to 36 days. feel free to look back through my trackers. I am hoping that the meds work for u. I will look through them and get back with u. i mc in March of 2011, April 2010, October 2010.
EWcm is a good sign. one of the girls told me she gets it 2-4 days before her af comes but I have never had it like that before af. usally mine is creamy or dry.
I found out that i mad a great decision by changing RE's. My Re did run half the blood test they could have and should have!!! What was the point in me asking over and over if there were any more test.
It as nice to have a dr spend 1 hour wit me instead of just rushing me out the door. MY old re sent part of my medical records only. The new one ad no labs to look at. I was mad!!!! They also left out the us pics and the surgery pics. he said he needed those. they are refusing to send those. I did get them to send the labs but only after i left. He waited and waited. Come to find out after i called them that out of the normal standard blood work that is ran when u have reaccurent miscarriages(RM) they only ran 4 out of 13. So i called my normal ob because i remember since he handled the 2 of my mcs including the one with the dnc he ran some of his own labs. My normal obgyn ran at least 6 on that list + he checked my tyroid and for lupis and a few other things. It up set me to learn that my RE told me he ran every possible test on several different occasions and did even run half of them!!!! What ever test where not ran he wants ran!!! He als told me to take an asprin a day (baby) just incase it was the clotting disorder. he said he wouldn't know until he got the labs they had ran if i had been checked for this. what it does is your body see the baby as a bleed so it clots off that area starving the baby. I am going to buy some today when i go into town.
He also told us that i was a hard case because of the rm He said he wanted to know why i was losing the baby before we moved onto the ivf. he said that if they ran all the test ( which now we know they did not) and everything was normal then what he wanted us to do was to go Atlanta GA to RBA because they have a process where they watch the embryos and actually study them and do genetic test on them. they will know if they have all of the cromozones (sp) they need and can tell u if they are a boy or girl. It makes it a day 7-8 transfer.
I am having my ob send there test results to the new Re and she said that if i would bring the list to her today that she would see what had not been ran and let me know. I am praying it is something as simple as the clotting thing.
Brookeis doing great. she got her shots on monday. she is 13 pound 10 oz. she is growing so fast.
life has been a little crazy my husband fell and broke both of his elbows. he is in so much pain. He will be out of work for 8 to 10 weeks. it is so hard to have a 4 mon old and trying to help him.
it will get better
I hope he gets to feeling better soon. I bet it is hard. physically it gives u more to do and then emotionally men dont handle being sick too well. and if he cant do anything and u having to do it all then i bet u are both going crazy. Men like to be babied but not to feel helpless.
All: Re is running 5 blood test. I lucked up and my ob had ran 8/13. most of them are for clotting disorders. so for now i am taking an asprin a day just in case this is the problem. If all of those are normal he is suggesting Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis- this will let us know if the little one is healthy before they even put in me and we will know if it is a boy or a girl.
It is hard I work 4 days a week. and to have a new baby and a husband that try to help but can't. I feel so bad for him. he feels like he should be doing more but cant. I just can wait for him to get better. I am so stressed just thinking of all the stuff i have to get done and just do not have the time.The only thing I can do is just pray he gets better fast.
Long time no see! Thought I would check in with rmmoye to see how things are going - glad to see you changed RE. That might be the right answer! Just a few months after i changed doctors, things started going in the right direction. Hope this is the right move! :)
Little Miss Ava turned one on May 12. I can't believe it's been a year. She has been the best thing EVER. I can hardly remember life before her... On another note, on February 11 my sister (who was pregnant with me) lost her 10 month old son to SIDS. It has been the most tragic thing that has ever happened to our family. Please keep her in your prayers. She needs them.
To all trying to concieve (conceive) - keep trying and be patient. It's worth the wait. I promise! :)
Rmm- I wasn't able to read all the way back...how are the boys doing?
I am so sorry that your sister lost her little. That would devastate me. I will pray for your family.
The boys are great. the adoption went through on January 30th. We were so excited. I cant believe that i have had them for over a year now. My oldest is already asking about more babies. I tried not to cry the first time he ask me back in October. Now when he ask it densest bother me at all. I quit to be at home with them. They love it and so do i. I will have my blood test drawn next week. af showed up wednesdaay. cd 34. I have quite taking the asprin for this month and will wait unti lthe blood work is over and the results are in before i take it again.
We are going on 2 vacations back to back. one is a big family thing at the lake for memorial day and then the first week of june we are going to peru.
Rmm: I was checking in to see how things were going with IVF and it sounds like you made a great decision to change RE's. I will keep checking in on you.
My little one is 11 months old... I cannot believe it! Only 1 week of school left and I cannot wait to spend the whole summer with my babies! We are taking a road trip to Ohio to see my sister and some other friends and then going to San Diego after that... it is going to be a nice fun summer :0
It sounds like u have a great summer planned. I hope u have fun. All of you guys babys are getting so big. Time just flys by.
Today is cd6 and crazy enough this cycle is still going with af. my cycles are normally 1-3 days well not this one i have had this one tease me. I started Wednesday after noon. it went Thursday and half the day Friday. then stopped. it started back Saturday evening then nothing the rest of the night Saturday or Sunday until a little after noon. then spotting . then nothing. We bd Sunday twice. crazy enough i had thick ewcm. I don't know if u will know what i am talking about. just think of junk mail and that clear thick sticky stuff they will put in one spot to hold it together and then when u open it u can pill it off and and stretch it like a rubber band and play with it. ( do u know what iam talking about?) Dh noticed it because it was on him and on me. This makes no since.i have never had cm like this.
So nothing the rest of the day yesterday or last night or early this morning bout around 7:30 i started back again. I dont get it!!!
HI !!!! Remember me, lol I'm back. Now jesses doing things for himself I get a little time to relax and check this site out again.
How is everyone, it's been so long. I hope all trying to conceive have and are trying again. :-) jesses the big 1 in two weeks, how crazy. To think we almost lost him just over a year ago. He's grown into a very cheeky boy who's quite a handful. <3
