God is so Good!!!! Your story is a blessing, it simply touched my heart!!! awe how God works everything out in our lives!!!! God is Good, and thats a testimony!
Thank you for sharing your testimony. It was truly a blessing. When we are going through our own trials and tribulations it seems as if the world is going to end. When we look back we learn the lesson God has set forth for us to learn. I know firsthand. I appreciate you sharing your story once again. God bless you and your family.
Your story almost brought tears to my eyes. I know what you mean about being a control freak and wanting everything to come timed. I've been trying to ttc for 3 years. Two years ago I was diagnosed with HPV and had a biopsy done. Luckily, that came back negative and have been getting checked up every 6 months. Then I had a fibroid in the cavity of my uterus. My RE had it removed because it was blocking the chanced of me getting pregnant. I just hope that there's nothing else wrong with me. After having 2 failed iui's I started to have doubts about God. But now I realized that everything happens for a reason and when it's suppose to happen.
Thank you for sharing your story... that is truely amazing!
Your story gave me hope again. I am praying hard for you guys!! Super duper hard!! Keep us informed and our prayers are with you. Hugs and love -

Nopes Amy, I didn't receive a message from you. Maybe you sent it to someone else :)
I was down initially but now am all geared up for the next round. And reading your story really strengthened my faith. God knows the best timing and we should just be patient and wait for it to happen when it is best for us. Thanks for the message!! And hugs back!
Sam.
Sammy - I am so sorry to hear about your failed IUI. Please keep the faith and don't give up. I know it will happen for you! Hugs!
google_eyes...They said it was doubtful. Initially they thought the cyst was actually attached to my ovary and so I came to that conclusion on my own..."must have had trouble TTC b/c of that mass". But after the c-section they saw it was actually attached to the lining of my abdomen, near my bladder. So the docs say it had nothing to do with our TTC struggles??? Who knows! :)
Was there any relation between the cyst and you having difficulty getting pregnant?
ita17 - I *think* I sent you a private message...but now I'm wondering if I accidentally sent it to Sammy J?? :) LOL...sorry Sammy if I sent you a message accidentally!
I was wondering if you could tell me more about your lap surgery, recovery, etc...I'm trying to gauge how long I'll need to plan on for recovery time from work. :)
It's good they were proactive in removing your ovary since your levels did seem elevated. I have read that elevated levels to NOT always indicate cancer (in your situation) and that some people can HAVE cancer without elevated levels (in my situation!) LOL!
LOL I have no idea WHY it posted ***!!!??? All I wrote there was foods! How funny!
My levels were in the 70's before I fell pregnant, thats why my old OB wanted to remove it asap. He even sent me to a very good oncologist here in UC Irvine, & he made me feel better, saying that he was 99.9% sure it wasn't ovarian cancer, said that anytime you have a "complex" mass in, or around your Ovaries, it will elevate your Ca125 levels. But when I was retested just 2 months later, (pg) they sky rocketed! I really felt that I was "okay" but I have to say, it has been a good thing that this did happen, it opened my eyes a lot, in many ways, & I also became very aware of a healthier way of living, mostly in the foods we were eating. My poor kids LOL when they have friends come over, they are apologizing for "not having any good food"!!! I try & buy as much organic *** possible ;) & we have very little processed foods at home. We DO eat out, but @ home they are not eating junk ;0)
Since, my mass was diagnosed/removed I have been MUCH healthier in my eating habbits, & I though I was healthy before!
I did LOADS of research about ovarian cancer-cancer in general, so if you want, pm me, & I would LOVE to share them w/you ;)
I am glad my story has been helpful. I am a control freak in a lot of areas in my life so failure to conceive drove me nuts! I wanted it to happen on MY time, and fall into MY plan. It's so hard to believe in and see the bigger picture when you're in the middle of it but there IS a plan! :)
Ita17 - My CA125 at 1.5 weeks post c-section was elevated to 72 (0-35 being normal). My CA125 was retested again at 5 weeks post c-section and was a normal 22. :) I can't believe yours was in the 200s! They do say pregnancy and recent surgery can elevate levels...so that must have been what happened to both of us.
They say my ov cancer was caught soooo early that it's not surprising my levels say "normal" even though I still have my cancerous ovary intact. At least we have a baseline to follow with my bloodwork for the next few years.
Wow Amy, that is a beautiful story and I've still got goosebumps from reading it.
My second IUI failed this week and I tried to console myself by saying that God will give me babies but His timing will be best. Now I can believe it whole-heartedly...
Thanks for sharing your story. I am amazed at and inspired by your strength and praying for your health and happiness.
Hugs,
Sam
That is a miracle....literally ;)
i can relate, I too had acomplex 9CM mass in my left ovary that was removed (along with my tube & ovary) I was stubborn & was avoiding surgery...I fell pg, while not ttc & I MC'd (blighted O) which I was very unhappy with my current OB, he wanted to open me up (before I got pg) & do surgery that way...well long story short, I was begining to MC & could not get a hold of him (bad office staff!) so I switched OBs & got in immedietly & he preformed lap surgery (what I originally wanted!) & all went well.
My DH & I both feel that that MC was so I would change OBs & get that gross mass out of me, even though it didn't have cancer cells, you just never know....it could have eventually, or have caused other serious problems for me.
The scary thing is that we've been ttc since April again (got pg after my surgery right away but had a missed MC @ 11 weeks) & I told my husband that I sure hope nothing else is wrong with me, because I've not been able to conceive again! Which was NEVER a problem before :(
Anyway, please keep us posted, I bet you are totally fine;o) enjoy you brandnew baby;o)
xxxxx's!
Ps what were you CA125 levels @? when I had mine, & I was pregnant they were pretty high, in the 200's!
Thanks for the strengh...
Silvia
Thank you for sharing this story! God certainly takes care of us and these things are all in his plan :)
What an amazing story! Thank you for sharing! It is difficult to stay focused on the plan that God has for us, especially in the TTC journey. It seems so personal, and sometimes it seems God isn't on your side....but He always is.
Good luck to you and I will pray for you that you have a good outcome. I'm sure you will....it was all good timing....
