Our TTC Prayer

a couple's prayer

Father God, we thank You that children are the heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward. Children are Your idea, Father God; You thought up children, and family, and home. You instituted the family in the Garden of Eden. You ordered children; You commanded them when You said to Adam and Eve, "Be fruitful and multiply." You said that the barren womb is never satisfied. Lord, the Word declares that we are wonderfully and fearfully made by You; therefore, we are perfect and able to conceive and have children. You said that I and my husband would be a fruitful vine by the side of our house and our children like olive plants around our table. We are not ashamed but happy because our quiver is full of children. 

Thank you, Father God, that You designed and fashioned us, to have children, that in the Bible barrenness was the exception, not the rule, not Your will, not normal, something against Your plan and purpose. And in Your goodness and faithfulness every barren woman in the Bible who was godly and believed Your Word became pregnant; You opened her womb and bless her, and she gave birth to a precious baby just as I will be. You make the barren woman to keep house and to be a joyful mother of children. 

You said, Father God, that because You are our God and we are Your people and have a covenant with You that You will love us and bless us and multiply us and bless the fruit of my womb and that neither male nor female among Your people would be barren. Father God, we are redeemed from the curse of the Law by Jesus, and being barren is under the curse of the Law; therefore, we will receive from Your grace and have children. 

Father God, no plague, no evil shall come nigh our dwelling. We are healed by the stripes of Jesus. Sickness of any kind is taken out of our midst. You said to ask anything of You in Jesus’ name and it would be done; and that if two of us either agree as touching anything it would be done. So we pray and we agree with You and Your Word, Father God, that we will conceive and bring forth a healthy, precious baby to Your glory and honor. We pray all this according to Your Word and will. You said, This is the confidence that we have in You, that if we ask anything according to Your will, You hear us; and if You hear us, we know we have the petition we desire of You, We have it now. Thank you, Father God, in Jesus’ name. 

*** now, talk to your body *** 

Bodies, we speak to you in Jesus’ name; You will come in line and agreement with the Word of God. You will respond to His holy Word. You will function properly and perfectly, the way God intended you to. Every part, every organ of our reproductive system conforms to the Word and plan of God as we come together in pure, marital love. Body, conceive! Be pregnant. Cooperate with God's plan; perfect ovulation, release of perfect eggs from the ovaries, through the fallopian tubes, penetrated and impregnated, fertilized by healthy sperm. Good solid attachment to uterine wall and nourished and protected for nine months, unharmed and unhindered. Grow to a perfect baby - spirit, soul, and body. 

Your Word says, Father God, that none shall cast their young, nor be barren amount Your people and the number of our days You will fulfill. This pregnancy will be fulfilled. We decree it in Jesus’ name and receive God’s best; we won't settle for anything less in Jesus' holy name. Thank you, dear Lord, that it is so and done to Your honor and Glory. Amen.

AF is still a No Show

Happy New Year!!! New year for me and DH, new beginning, new challenges, more hopes and a lot of faith this Year of the Water Snake. So here's an update of our TTC ordeal.

To begin with, DH had his SA last January 17, 2013. The result of his SA shows a decrease on his count and an increase on his WBC, due to infection, which we understand because of the holiday break and our so called forbidden sprees. Here's DH latest SA.

DHs latest SA

Although DHs count went down from 30 Million to 25 Million in his latest SA result, both of us are still thankful because he has maintained his motility and it did not decrease. We've been working on his motility for years now and we do not want another low motility when he had improved it. With regards his infection, as shown by the WBC, good thing DH kept his prescription given to him by his Urologist to address the matter as soon as possible.

On my part, well, the title of the post says "AF is still a no show." It's been almost 3 months now since my LMP on November 5, 2012 and still no AF yet. I tried 2 pregnancy kits last December 2012 and this January 2013 but both came out negative. For peace of mind, I did an ultrasound this month and the findings says both my ovaries has more than 12 follicles measuring less than 1 cm due to polycystic ovaries. Below is the full details of my TVU last January 5, 2013.

my latest ultrasound

Depressing isn't it!!! I thought Fertilaid is working on the magic but I ended up worsening my case. After 2 months of delayed AF, I still has given Fertilaid a chance to induce my period but to no avail it put my AF into a force leave vacation. Thus, to conclude it, Fertilaid is not compatible with my reproductive system but it does works with DH. What matters, I believe, is that we have found a fertility supplement for DH since we've been looking and searching for years just to improved his count and motility.

To date, I am currently on CD79, my longest ever of not having AF. I am really waiting for AF for me to move on and start our infertility work up this year. I have on my list my chosen new OB after months of researching the net. Her name is Dr. Mae Syki-Young of Makati Medical Center and yet my AF is still nowhere to be found.

Yesterday, however, I started taking duphaston to help me induce my AF. I have to take 1 tablet a day for 10 days. I just hope and pray AF will show anytime soon.
