Prayer Request

[2550]

Ok guys, I am not good at postings, but I'm going to give it a shot...
I know how wonderful you all are and what a great "family" we are. I would like to ask a BIG favor of each of you. I truely believe in the power of prayer, as I know most of you do.
My daughter is in need of a few. After months of going it alone, she has finally confided in us that she and her husband have been desperately trying to have a baby for the past four years. They have been going through a really rough time of it, been to a bunch of doctors, and had a multitude of tests (with all good results). But still no pregnancy. She has not told us everything, I am sure, and she would absolutely flip if she knew what I'm doing now, but I figure it's worth a try. It has become an obsession now, which we all know is not good, but it is now affecting every part of their lives and impacting on their marriage. Will you each offer a prayer up for her? Her name is Tracy and her hubby is Jason. I know that everything happens for a reason, and that may very well be why there is no baby yet, but could we at least try?

I will pray for your daughter. It must be very hard for her. :(

It is especially now that her sister is expecting her third child and she still cannot have one.

[mkrebecca]

You can bet we will be praying for your family and before you know it you will be a grandma!! Keep the faith! That is what we need to get through the trials we face everyday!!! Good luck to you and your daughter!

[Motherofthree]

Ofcourse..They are in my prayers right now at this moment..They need to have faith in God. Everything happens in Gods time and not when we humans want it..Be patient and God will work it out! He always does. I will pray for them again tonight before bed.!!!:)

[mood4amelody]

He knows to be wearing boxers, right?? That's important! I'll keep then in my prayers, too. They need to just quit trying and have fun. That's when everyone says it happens. :)

[LadyPyro]

Yes, I will add them to my prayer list. Tell them to stay out of hottubs too.

[wbarker]

Prayers are being said! I know how horrible it feels! We lost our first pregnancy at 18 weeks, right after we had told everyone, then decided to try again, and was very frustrated when it didn't happen easily! Our baby just turned 1 on Christmas Eve!

I will pray for their faith too - it can be hard in times like this.

[Cpogie]

Prayers being sent right now! You don't need to tell your daughter about this thread, it might make her more nervous, so this will be our secret for the time being! Hugs.

Prayers are being sent from me too!! This is one trial I have been fortunate not to face. I cannot even imagine what it is like to decide that you are ready and not be able to make it happen. I was very blessed to become pregnant the first month that I tried with my son and then blessed again to become pregnant with my daughter. With her I was actually trying not to get pregnant. But God knew best and knew that I could have never consciously tried to get pregnant again(marriage troubles). Now I don't know what I would do without her!!
I have had many clients in this situation and have dealt with their pain and frustration with them. I have had success with helping some of them also. There is massage and bodywork that helps the body welcome conception. The more tense, stressed and frustrated the woman is, the less likely that her body will conceive. Even regular relaxing massage is helpful, but maybe you could check around her area and see if there are any massage therapists that specialize in prenatal massage. Some of these have also had training in preconception massage as well. I would talk to the therapist and make sure that they are experienced with this. You may even be able to talk to them about what is going on, ask them to keep it confidential, and get her a gift certificate. Your daughter could then decide if she feels comfortable enough to talk to the therapist about what is going on. If not, the therapist can still work with the intention of preparing the body for conception and it would still seem like just a relaxing massage for your daughter! Either way it would still be beneficial.
If you have any questions you can pm me.
I do agree that prayers are still the most powerful and I will definitely pray for the three of you and for the tiny spirit that needs to find its way to your daughter!!

[2550]

Thank You everyone for all your hints, tips and great advice and most of all your prayers. I knew I could count on you!! Blessings to you all...

I will keep your daughter and s-i-l in my prayers.

Our oldest daughter and s-i-l tried for 2 years before they conceived. She was very depressed each month when she was not pregnant. She had a lot of tests done, she was fine. Her hubby went through some testing as well, he was fine. I told her to stop trying and relax, it will happen!!! A month later she told me she was giving up. Well.... 2 months after that she was pregnant!!

Hugs!

I keep telling her the same thing, but it's not what she wants to hear. It has become an obsession with her now, which is not good. My older daughter (her sister) is expecting her third child in July, making this an even more stressful situation, which is really not fair (to the pregnant one). We kind of walk on eggshells about the whole thing. This too shall pass, I know, but it's just getting through it now that hurts. Again, I thank you all even for just listening. I don't really have anyone that I can rationally discuss this with as her mom.

[asumom]

My prayers are with you and her as well. I too had problems trying to get pregnant and it can be very frustrating, I was blessed with 3 children 7 years apart, she just needs to relax, If she is overweight my dr said lose weight, eat healthy, stay active and less stress. I truely hope it works out for her sooner than later

Yeah, losing weight works well, too! When I was in high school my average weight was 124. My senior year I was stressed and went down to 117, then BAM! got pregnant after having unprotected *** for 2 years. (Yeah, okay, I didn't say I was a genius!) My step-sister was heavy, lost lots of weight, BAM! preggers, too.

Of course, it may only add stress to your daughter to say, Hey, quit trying to get pregnant and lose weight! :rolleyes:

It was an obsession with Danielle as well. She would schedule their *** sessions. I told her you're making it into a "job" for Matt, you have to stop! I felt so bad for him!

Keeping those involved in my prayers.

My SIL and BIL tried for almost 10 years, it was an obsession with both of them, they would not go to any family functions if kids were going to be there, they finally gave up, bought a cliff house in a canyon and a few months later she was pregnant........she then became pregnant again about 4 years later, had a preamie born 4 months early weighing just 1lb. 9 oz. the baby was in the hospital for 144 days, and is now 4 1/2.

[lisasuzanne]

My prayers are definitely with you and your family. My husband and I tried and tried for 8 years. We tried a million different things that everyone sugested. Then one of the ladies I work with had her mom do some sort of massage thing om my stomach. It was very weird, but she told me I would always remeber her because she was going to make sure I could have babies. Well, now I am a million months pregnant with twins. I'm still not dure that what she did worked but you have to be open to new ideas, and know that God has a plan for all of us.
