Don't give up!

Just wanted to share with you ladies something amazing that happened to me yesterday.

It was Sunday and I was in church. The service was almost over, the pastor was praying up front his usual "Bless Thee and Keep Thee". For some reason that day as I was praying for God to bless our IVF efforts like I always do, my hope felt lost. I had been doing very well with the PMA lately, looking forward to upcoming FET in March. But today I was so low and just cried before the Lord.

After the service ended, a woman came up to me I barely know and hugged me. As she held me she whispered in my ear, "I don't know what you are believing for but I really felt that God spoke to me to tell you DON'T GIVE UP." Some things are worth the wait she said.

I thanked her as I continued to cry but now it was tears of joy. I no longer felt hopeless. God gave me a word that day to let me know He hears my prayers and our wait will be worth it in the end!

And this morning as I was thinking about it again, I realized that word is not only for me but for all us ladies who have tried unsuccessfully month after month. We have been so hopeful and then we get our BFN's. But this morning I believe God is telling us - DON'T GIVE UP!!

Some things are worth the wait...

Thank you for sharing. I have been a lurker. I am going through my last IVF attempt because the age cutoff is 42 where I live. I am on day 9 since the ET, I had AF cramps on day 5 & 6. I had this strange pulling, tugging feeling. Now I have a little dark brown spotting. I am trying not to loose hope. I am crying as I type this. Thank you for giving me hope. That is all somebody needs during these times.

May all our dreams of motherhood come true

Try not to worry - I know easier said!!! Brown discharge is so often either caused by Implantation or is old blood and not to be confused with AF.

Take care of yourself and focus on a beautiful positive outcome.

Thinking of you.

Ramona,

When do you get to test? My clinic did a blood test on me 9 days after ET which was 2 weeks after my ER. I bet by now you could test.

I'll be praying for you today that you get the BFP that you have waited so long for. Don't give up hope! Keep believing Ramona! I am believing with you...

HUGS,

Allison

THANK YOU Smita, Full of Faith and Little P!!! It is the kindness of total strangers that really inspires me. I test on the 29th. It would not be so bad if they did not tell me this is my last attempt.

It is true, I need to believe in myself and most importantly GOD. I have tried everything from accupuncture, meditation, ayurvedic medicine, vegetarianism and of course praying.

I called the hospital and they told me that the brown discharge is okay so it is not over yet.

DH brought the clear blue test home. I will wait to the 29th.

Thank IVF buddies and I send my prayers your ways. Thank you for giving me hope. Thank you for throwing a lifeline.

Ramona,

My thoughts and all my PMA are with you for the 29th. Keep positive - there are so many stories I have read on this site from women with spotting who were pregnant.

Please (try to) stay positive. All the best hun...

Bella.
