The power of prayer in TTC.

May I know who is your ob sis jendometriosis? Congrats!

[HMisabelle]

a very inspiring thread... thank you all for sharing your stories.  Umiiyak ako habang binabasa ko mga posts nyo... sobrang nakakalungkot tong journey na ito kung sosolohin talaga natin.  Kanya kanya lang talaga tayo ng burden but then God is beyond gracious and good!  He knows exactly what we need and want.

True! Reading inspiring stories and knowing na you're not alone, na there are also women like you going through the same exact thing and many of them have received their biggest blessing already give me the strength to not give up, na eventually it will be given to me rin in His time.

Especially when you're ready to be a mom na (I'm 29, turning 30) and everyone seems to be having their own child right after marriage (some not even trying) while ikaw naghihintay pa rin, medyo nakaka-down at nakakainggit. Iniisip ko na lang din na God is not giving my heart's desire yet because he is preparing me to be the best mom.

I and my husband pray together because we believe that there's nothing impossible pag involved si God. Praying for everyone who is still TTC like me.

Hello ttc sisters. I also want to share my ttc journey. I was 20 when I met my hubby to be. We got married on our 5th anniversary. We decided to not try to get pregnant during the first year of marriage but we did not use pills or protection. On our second year, we started trying and I went in for a consult with my ob. Knowing I had bilateral PCOS, she gave me clomiphene citrate for 6 months but I took it for only 5 months. During that time, I lost my job leaving us with no funds for our fertility treatment. My husband did a semen analysis and everything looked fine so I was the only one being treated. After those 5 months of failed attempts, I wanted to give up. I got depressed. Having a baby was all I could think about since I didn't have a job. We did not see any doctors until the following year when my friend referred me to an OB RE. I saw my new doctor and she told us to do an IUI. Knowing that we didn't have enough money, I stopped seeing her and prayed to God to give me a job or a baby so I can stop being depressed. I asked him, please give me either of the two. And he gave me a job. So I thought, having a baby may not be in the cards for me because God chose to give me a job instead. But I was so happy because now I can save for our fertility treatments. I forgot about wanting a baby due to the demands of my job until my friend who didn't want kids got pregnant. That triggered me to start seeing my doctor again. My bestfriend gave me Padre Pio's prayer book and she marked the page with the Prayer for having a baby which I recited religiously. With just one cycle of treatment and IUI, I got pregnant and I'm now 11 weeks along after over 3 years of marriage. I can't believe it happened so fast. I believe that God wanted me to have a job first so I can save for having a baby and now everything is falling into place. I am now a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and to just keep the faith and believe in what you ask for. After my IUI, I did not ask God for it to be successful. I asked for His will to be done in my life and I would be okay with whatever happens. I just can't thank Him enough for this wonderful miracle. Good luck to all of you who are still trying. Don't lose hope. It will happen in God's perfect time. Trust me.

Thanks everyone. Ngayon ko lang nacheck ang replies sa forum. My pregnancy was like a roller coaster ride at first. At 6 weeks, my doctor told me na medyo mabagal ang growth ng gestational sac and baka hindi magtuloy ang pregnancy ko. So iyak kami ng iyak ni hubby. Mas masakit pala yung andito na tapos biglang babawiin. Pero I knew in my heart na hindi yun gagawin ni God sa amin. So we prayed and prayed but I still prepared myself in case I suffer a miscarriage. Pinabalik kami ni ob to check the progress, and at 7 weeks, nakita na ang heartbeat ni baby. My problem now is, I have pre-diabetes. It can't be called gestational diabetes because I've already had issues with my blood sugar since last year. High risk for miscarriage din ang diabetes. So now I monitor my sugar levels every after meal and inject insulin before meals. Akala ko once makabuo kami ng baby, madali na. Hindi pala. Mas madami pa ang obstacles to ensure a healthy pregnancy. I never stopped praying and thanking God for this little miracle inside me. I hope and pray that my baby does not develop birth defects which is common daw with diabetic moms. By the way, I am having a baby boy. We found out at 14 weeks. Baby dust to all.

^Praying for your safe pregnancy and for a healthy baby boy, sis. God bless.

Hi sisses pajoin po😊
Congrats sis damonsgirl!
We are ttc din for 4 years at ilang OB na rin napuntahan namin with no luck. Pero ngayon nagstick na kami sa new OB and we undergo iui last month but we failed kaya eto try ulit namin iui#2.We are praying na this will be our month kasi we will celebrate our anniversary on July 19.
I just prayed to God na gabayan Niya OB namin, make him His instrument para mabiyayaan kami ng anak.And thankful din ako kasi our OB always reminds us to pray kasi hindi daw siya magician.
I believe in the power of prayer kasi ilang beses na rin Niya sinagot prayers ko kaya kapit lang.God knows our hearts desire and He hears and will answer our prayers.
Goodluck to us at kasama po kayo sa prayers ko all TTC couples. Godbless!

[HMisabelle]

^amen to that, sis. 😊

[damonsgirl]

Thanks sis SAM. Iba talaga ang power ng prayer dahil kahit na pre-diabetic ako, healthy si baby. Kakatapos lang namin sa congenital anomaly scan last friday and perfect ang lahat sa kanya. Ang bait talaga ni Lord! Everyday wala akong mintis sa pagdadasal na sana healthy ang baby ko dahil hindi ko kakayanin pag may mangyaring masama sa kanya.

Sa ngayon, controlled naman ang sugar ko. Ang problem nalang namin is yung placenta previa ko dahil pwede daw ako magka massive bleeding dun anytime kasi 20 weeks 5 days na ako today. At pag dinugo daw ako ng malakas, pwedeng hindi maisave si baby. Hay kaya eto pray pa din ng pray. At kahit bawal ako kumilos kilos, nag sisimba pa din ako, yun nga lang, hindi na ako nakakatayo. Upo at luhod nalang.

I know God will help me through this until makapanganak ako sucessfully.

Tama ka sis damonsgirl a fervent and honest prayer can move mountains. I know God will help you throughout your pregnancy pray lang sis at ingatan mo din sarili mo. Godbless sis! Tomorrow is my 2nd IUI and we will lift up everything to Him. His will be done! 🙏🏼
