Hi! Hope this helps...

"In sweet surrender, I let go and let God be in charge of my life.

When I think about it, I realize that whenever I am struggling with letting go of something, it is because I am intent on trying to control or fix it. When I let go in sweet surrender and let God be in charge, wonderful and miraculous things happen. My mind is clear of doubt. Recognizing that God is in charge, I understand that no negative habit or dependency can control me and that nothing can limit me in achieving something important to me. Having let go and let God, I feel immediate relief that being open to divine guidance brings me. I wonder why I didn't make this positive shift sooner! With renewed self-confiedence, I relax and enjoy each day and all that if offers me."

Thank you for that! It definitely DOES help!

I'm checking in today feeling a lot better. I was kinda stressed yesterday...had started bleeding on CD18. I was afraid it was AF showing ridiculously early and that I was anovulatory... but the bleeding has stopped, and I got my first EVER positive OPK today! I can't believe I actually passed a "pee test"!

DH and I BDed yesterday...so do you think it is okay to wait until tomorrow for our BD, with a positive OPK today? DH tends to do better on the "every other day" schedule... I'm really hoping that waiting won't mess us up.

Okay...I'm obsessing...

I need to go read that Let GO prayer again!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Anne

That is so awesome, and it is just what I needed to hear this morning. I am so set on "controlling" ttc, that I get all worked up when I don't know what's going on. Like this month, I'm on day 31 and I've had 2 fertile patches of cm, yet FF says I haven't ovulated. I don't know what to think! All I know is that God is in control, and I need to daily give this up to him. If you ladies wouldn't mind, I think I am going to post my surrender to Him every day, and if you would like, you may add your surrender to the thread. I know for me, it will be a good reminder to let him take control of all of this, and it will help alleviate my stress! Here goes:

Heavenly Father, I praise the wonderful things you have done. I thank you for the many blessings in my life. I thank you for my husband, my family, and my friends. I thank you for my home. Father, I surrender my life to you. I surrender my desire to raise one of your children. Father, if it be your will, I pray that you allow me to have the privilege of sharing in the joy that a child brings. I surrender this desire to you, Lord.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.

Here is my chart, if it helps any. Any feedback would help, because I am confused!

Hi Jetta,

Thanks for the well wishes yesterday. I feel much better today and didn't have any weird dreams last night. That last one really freaked me out and upset me so much.

Your prayer for today was really nice as well. Thanks for taking the time to post it!

I still haven't seen AF but am spotting again today and had a temp drop this morning although still above the cover line. Last month, this was the day that I started AF so I'll wait and see what happens with tomorrow's temp and see if the hag shows up then. I just don't understand all the indigestion and butterflies in my tummy over the last couple of days not to mention I get hungry every couple of hours which is not normal for me. Ahh just wish AF would show and let me move on hehe

Thanks again, I appreciate your post and tried to reply but had to log in again and thought I had my password wrong and it turned out I was using the wrong user name (doh!)

(((Hugs)))

(((HUGS))) Kathy!

I'm sorry about AF! That crazy old hag just does not know how to stay away when she is not wanted!

Glad you are okay with it...I am already sending you many ****CATCH THAT EGGIE**** vibes already...so you should be well-prepared when the time comes to play catch!

Take care,

Anne
