Ok, so I had my first PPAF with Em at 9 months. I started right at 6 weeks after Noah for obvious reasons, and I was waiting for it to start after Mak. I have been praying that the Lord only bring my AF back when He was ready for it, but my heart's desire has been to try and get pg around Dec. I seem to have a fertile period in Dec. (both Em and Mak were conceived then!). Dh and I said that we were NOt going to induce AF so that we could start clomid to conceive, we would wait on the Lord's timing. I woke up the other night and went to the potty. Well, what do you know, AF came. I was sad ( I love NOT having AF) but amazed at the Lord's timing. If I went on clomid, I would ovulate sometime around Dec. 30th or so. Mak was a Christmas present, why not have a new baby be a New Years present! It is possible that on clomid I would ovulate on Jan 1st!

Dh and I have not 100% decided when to try clomid again, but we do desire more children. Although life is super busy and will stay that way for a few years, we do not want to put off having babies because of that. We do not want a big space between our kids and we don't want to "start" having babies again when I am older.

We know it's all in the Lord's hands, meds and all, so we pray for more, will take the clomid, and hope for a blessing!

I was telling Dh that I am SO content with what the Lord has given us, but I do not feel like our family is complete. If the Lord decided that we are done, I hope He would take the desire for more in my heart away and I would feel done and content with everything. KWIM?

It would be hard, life is busy with the girls, work, school, and all life hands us, but it would so be worth it to me. Please pray for me on this if the Lord brings it to mind.

Thank you and blessings,
Amber

Praying for you and for God's timimg!:-D

How exciting! :D

:) Oooo we could start a clomid train!

Amber that sounds just like me , i had my mind set on 2 then i started having doubts , so prayed i was like lord if i am not ment to have another then please take this desire away , so i was shocked when it got stronger lol , but i am at peace as to what god decides , praying for you hun :-D

Amber, you sound *just* like me, "I'm content with what the Lord has given me and if He thinks I have enough, I wish he'd take my desire for more children away." Ha. It was part of our process of getting to where we are now... where we feel like any child is a blessing. any *NUMBER* of children. ::snort::

Not to say that's where you're headed, but I never imagined I would be remotely interested in more than one. I was up for a second because I married my hub, and my DD1 was from a previous relationship, I wanted hub to know what it was like to go through that wonderful process.

But after DD2 I felt finished, especially since she was so colicky. God sure changed my heart, literally overnight! Oh man, oh man... thinking back over all this has me seriously giggling. :) You just never can tell where God may lead~ :) I'm excited for you guys to be possibly adding to your family~ :) I will say this for large families, with each child you gain *NEW* and wonderful gifts and blessings~ :D Hope that didn't sound like a push from me for you guys to have unlimited... I think that's a personal calling/conviction, not one someone can push on you, for sure!!!! So, I was just sharing, that's all~ I'll be watching and waiting with excited anticipation!!! :)

Thanks gals! :-D

Jen, we would take 15 kids if the Lord saw fit.... hopefully not at once, but He would provide if that happened somehow.
We think it is up to the Lord, and we do not prevent, but we know that my body has issues surrounding fertility, that is why we use the clomid. We know the clomid is not a guarantee for another baby, and we ask the Lord to not let us get pg if it's not His will. We feel content in that.

Thanks for the post everyone!
Blessings,
Amber

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if someday you guys wound up pregnant without using it. My mom had fertility issues when my parents first got married... It took a few years for them to get pg, and that was ON fertility treatments... then after my brother was born, my sister happened "naturally", then my other sister... and then I was a complete surprise. ::snort:: :) I hope that the Lord continues to bless you as you both welcome the blessings! :) tee hee I just love looking at pictures of your beautiful babies.... :)
