Good Morning Sisters!

I just wanted to get the thread started. I have a devotional to share this morning...but it will take a little while to type up...So I'll be back with it is a little while.

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! DH and I had a good time just relaxing together...

I'm STILL waiting for O!!! Someone PLEASE send the O fairy this way! :)

Here is my chart...

Hi Sisters!

Sorry I wasn't around this weekend. AF showed on Sunday, so I'm on to a new cycle-finally. I'll start clomid again on Wednesday and will possibly ask my boss (a chiropractor) to do acupuncture on me as well for infertility. How was everyone's weekend? DH and I spent some time looking at new neighborhoods in the area-not that we can afford them, but it was still fun looking. We went to Cirque de Soleil on Saturday, which was pretty good. Anne, I'm sending you lots of OOOOOOOOOO vibes! Sorry it's taking so long! Hope everyone's doing well!

Jen

Morning SoS,

Ahhh, long weekend and my mind is like a cobweb today back at work. AF showed for me too this past weekend but thankfully, she's being really nice to me. Strange how they are lighter with less cramping now than each month I was on BCP's.

Hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend.

Okay...Here is our devotion for today...This is taken from "One Day My Soul Just Opened Up" by Iyannla Vanzant.

When you feel DOUBT...

Where there is trust, there can be no doubt. The moment doubt enters, trust has disappeared. You cannot believe and doubt. Doubt enters our consciousness and invades the mind when we forget the truth, and when we do not trust.

When we have a fixed idea of how things should be and how we want them to look, we become doubtful that we will get what we want. The doubt stems from our beliefs, many of which hinge on our thoughts and feelings of unworthiness. When we believe we are not worthy of having what we want, we doubt that we can or will receive it. Doubt is also the mental and emotional response to our need to be in control. To be in control, we must know everything about everything. We fix our sights on a particular outcome and a method of achieving that outcome. When it appears that our plans are not going as we would like, the natural response is fear, which is the primary ingredient of doubt. Control-based doubt is what we call worry. Worry comes from the need to be in control.

What we must realize is that we cannot see everything. We do not know everything. More important, we must understand that it is impossible for us to control ANYTHING. The process of life is a spirtual one governed by the will of God. This is a will for the good of everyone (Romans 8:28). When we understand and embrace this truth, there is never a reason to doubt. We know that no matter what it looks like, the final outcome will be something good.

LET ME REMEBER:

-Where there is trust, there is no doubt.

-Truth is more powerful than doubt.

-Where there is worry, there is a struggle for control.

-GOD is in control!


This is something I definitely can relate to, as we TTC. I want to control EVERYTHING...BD timing, hormone regulation, when my body ovulates, etc. I keep wanting to "remind" God how much I want a baby. God does not need me to remind Him...He knows my heart. He is in control of the plan for my life. Yet it is so hard to give up control...to trust in His plan...I have been asking Him for a baby...and I have been asking Him to help me accept His plan, should that plan not include a baby.

But what I NEED to do today is to go ahead and THANK Him right now for his perfect plan for my life...trusting and believing that He is in control.

Have a wonderful day Sisters!

Thanks for the O vibes, Jen!

I went to Cirque de Soleil a couple of years ago in Biloxi...I thought it was really good!

Good luck on this new cycle of Clomid...Hope it works for you? Have you had any side effects? I really have not had too many...maybe a little bloating, and more pain around my ovaries...but not too bad. Hope it is going well for you.

Take care,

Anne

Good Morning Kathy!

I know what you mean about the cobwebs! I'm having trouble getting focused on work, too...which is bad. The longer it takes me to get started, the longer I'll have to work this afternoon...

I'm glad AF is at least being nice...Hopefully soon she'll be gone and you can start the BD fest! At the rate I'm going....you may even get a visit from the O fairy and move to the 2-week wait while I'm still waiting to finally O! I had a positive OPK yesterday and the day before, so hopefully today the O fairy will come see me.

Sigh....

I had a temp drop today, and today is the day that AF usually shows up. But AF has not yet started (could start this evening), but it's driving me crazy because I just want it to start so I can get on with a new cycle.

Hi Anne,

My 1st CC I was on 50mg cd5-9 and the only side effects I had were mild hot flashes and lots of O pain. 2nd cc was 100mg and only had hot flashes. I'm hoping the side effects won't get worse this time around (150mg), but we'll see. Thanks for the devotional today-I think all of us try to be in control rather than letting life take the coarse that God has for us.

How are the rest of you girls doing? Not too many posts today so far.

Jen

Hi Ladies! Back from camping over the holiday weekend. Sorry I didn't let you guys know I was leaving...it was kind of a spur-of-the-moment thing. Anyways, the old hag found me yesterday morning (right on time, I might add). I figured, I had a temp drop early yesterday morning. I was actually kind of relieved, time to get on with the next cycle and a new opportunity! It looks like I'm not the only one who got a visit from Flo. It's amazing how many of us are on the same cycle. :o)

Nice to be back!
