So some of you may know that we have been trying for our 2nd Child for quite a while now. We have been seeing the doctor every 6 weeks or so since November, once we hit our year mark of trying. Mostly just to keep tabs on my cycles and see if the medication is working. I have had lots of talks with my mom who knows exactly what I am going through and she has helped me gain a good perspective on this trial that we are facing.
I was sitting in the waiting room today to see the doctor for my check-up and I was playing a game on phone, at the bottom of the screen it has ads scrolling across the bottom. The ad that was displayed at the bottom of my screen said..."God loves you, and has a plan for you." It never changed, it stayed at the bottom the entire time I waited, and we all know how long you have to wait for a doctor. Anyway I have always known that there is a plan laid out, not only me but for my future children and our family. But it gave me a great peace to just see that little quote in the most unusual of places.

It took us a while to get pregnant, over a year with a miscarriage. It's hard to know that He is the one with the plan and sometimes we don't always understand why. I know how you feel and I'm so sorry. Good Luck
I'm so glad that quote helped you to feel peace in the middle of something that has been so hard. I know all of our stories are so different, but we've been trying for over 8 months now with a miscarriage in December, and I am learning the heartache of wanting a child so badly and trying to reconcile that with knowing that Heavenly Father is in charge and has a plan. No matter how much faith you have, it still stings. I'm so sorry you are experiencing that ache. Just know that you're not alone. And keep repeating that quote to yourself over and over and over again. :)
how comforting!! hope all goes well from here on out :)
That is awesome and I know I can relate. We tried for a very long time to get Jax here, and I could never understand why it was taking so long. Now I look back and understand exactly why I needed to wait. I know that you will have that clarity too. Good luck!
I love the little things too! You already know my stories about trying to get Gavyn and Jarom here, and it is those little comforting words and thoughts and prayers from others that helps so much. I know what it is like to go into the Dr.s monthly for blood tests, etc. and I hope you have success very soon with getting Crew a baby brother or sister! Have you done the "dye test" yet? If not, let me know and I will give you some prep tips before you go in for it.
I'm glad you are able to keep a good perspective. That doesn't surprise me about you though, you always have a good attitude. I hope this trial passes soon. We need a little girl to rule the roost with all these boys ;)
Annie I'm so sorry. I have had more miscarriages then I have children and I understand being frustrated it took us 4 years to get prgnant after our first but I understand the reason behind that now. Hang in there.
That is a perfect quote and I'm so glad it was so comforting to you during this difficult trial. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I sure hope you get a baby soon. Hang in there love!!
This is definitely a subject that is dear to my heart. I am crying for you over here! I am glad you were able to find comfort and I know the Lord knows and loves you. It took me a while to figure that out, but the peace that comes with accepting His will is irreplaceable. And while your heart will still ache for a baby, you can feel peace and love in the midst of it all. And that pain will probably leave some scars, but as long as you let this experience build your testimony and relationship with your Savior, they will only be reminders of how much He does love you.
Looking back I wouldn't change anything. And while it stunk not being able to get pregnant, we learned so much from our experience and I know we wouldn't be the same without it. I am grateful for that time in our lives and I can look back at it as a blessing rather than a trial. The day they placed Ben in my arms, it was like heaven poured out a big bottle of medicine that washed all over me. I finally understood what I had waited for. And I KNOW you will have that too.
Obviously, I am always around to talk to!
