Momma Kath
I would like to thank you for getting my order to me so quickly!
It was here in 2 days. The TTC booklet is absolutely darling.
DH and I read it as soon as we got it.
He liked the fact that there was a little page in there for the men
explaining ways for him to prepare for TTC and stuff.
He was tickled pink.
Thanks again for all your help,
Dinelle

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Momma Kath,
I just want to thank you once again!...
I don't know how to thank you..
You were such a blessing...
I just remember the night,
I felt so alone..
when I surfed the net and checked your site...
since that nite...I became a regular visitor of your site...
made friends and shared everything about ttc...
for almost 2 years........
now...
I go back to the Doc on the 5th of nov to check
if I'm dilating...
I'm experiencing pain every night...
and OB told me that I'm in prelabor.. (yikes!!!)
I don't know how I feel...
I feel excited and nervous at the same time..
my DH will file his leave on Nov 1 (my bday) -
nov 6 so, whatever happens... he'll be by my side... :)
i just can't believe it!..
I remember when I bought the HPT and tested.
The moment I took the test and told my DH that we
were going to have a baby at last!...
After almost 2 years of trying...
With all my heart.. thank you so much!...
God bless you and your loved ones...!!
still nervous,
Aleiea

I just want to congratulate you for putting up the awsome ttc website.
So many women have gotten pg (including me edd 12/21/02) learning from each
other and exchanging information.
Not to mention having the shoulders and support to weep on when needed.
I'm so glad I found this website!
Once again congratulations and thank you!!!!!
Betsy

Thanks!

I just wanted to thank you -
we gave birth to Macy Anne on August 8th.
We started TTC in June and finally succeeded in November
(sometime during our anniversary weekend).
Your boards have helped so much and
there are some wonderful ladies who participate.

Thanks again for all your hard work!

Wow! Thanks for the speedy delivery of HPTs.
I love your website, and the chat room
is really nice and fast.
I gleaned info that I had not
heard before from your FAQ info-pages.

Thanks for the service you provide for us TTC'ers -
your philosophy and your heart really show!

Subject: I am finally pregnant!!

Dear Momma Kath,

I e-mailed you yesterday afternoon regarding a faint pink line
that was registering on my TTC Store HPT.
Thank you for your prompt response!!
I took another test this AM upon waking,
and the line was darker!

I can't believe that I am finally pregnant after 12 months of trying.

I thank you for this wonderful website. By following the suggestions of other women on the success board, I quickly became pregnant after discovering "tryingtoconceive.com" one and a half months ago. You are truly a blessing, and I will be passing along your website to several of my friends who are still trying for a little miracle.

I will be posting my success story so that others can benefit! Thanks for all of the "eggy thoughts" and pregnancy dust!!

Sincerely,

Cheryl G

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hi G Momma Kath!

Thanks again for all your hard work and wonderful site.
I thank you personally for helping me get pg.
All of your advice on herbs, etc. have
definitely been a God send.
You are truely a special lady and your turn is soon....
I just know it!

Thanks again......Melissa :)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I love this board!
I just wanted to let you know how helpful this board has been.
I am 4 DPO and hopeful. I had a lot of questions
and found some answers by reading other peoples' experiences.
I had more questions and decided to make my own post.
I had immediate response. This board will help me keep
my sanity until I can test in 10 days.
I also noticed the PG tests are a very good price
- not to mention the other products.
You and Elizabeth are angels.
Thanks Again,
Kim O.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Thanks goes to you, Momma Kath, for all your caring advice!!!
Bless you for giving us a forum to find strength in each other!

New at ttc and found this site while looking for info
have been using the site for about 2 months and I firmly
believe it is the best site with the most info and support.
Thank you.
Nancy

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It's my pleasure and honor to be added to your success album and home page.

You are probably one of the sweetest and most postive people I've ever come across. I admire your perserverance in your situation and how you created an outlet for others in the same situation.

Dear Momma Kath

Thank you so much for your personal reply, WHAT A
LOVELY SURPRISE! I'm a little new to the internet
and couldn't quite convince myself that the people
on screen actually exist. Forgot to say last time
that the TTC site is great - I've spent hours
trawling anything to do with infertility and nothing
else even comes close. Thanks again for the advice,
I'll keep you posted of any further developments.
As we say this side of the pond, Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year.

love from
Amanda

Dear MommaKath!
My husband and I just found out that we expecting TWINS!
We are very thrilled and scared and every other emotion in between.
Anyway, just wanted to send you an update because I don't think that
I would have made it this far
if it hadn't been for the support I found here!

Dear Momma Kath,

I just wanted to write and thank you for your
website. My husband and I are living in South Korea
away from all our friends and
family so your site has
been a wonderful blessing as we decided
to start our new family.

Apart from my husband, you are the first to know
that I am pregnant thanks to all the helpful
information and advice at TTC!!

Love and Blessings,

Sheree

Subject: Thank you!

Momma Kath,

I just wanted to thank you so much for putting
together this site and encouraging all the wonderful support.
I am sure I would not be pg right now
if I hadn't found this site and learned so much about the
whole thing! The support that all the ladies give
has been a lifesaver for me. I am hoping your new doctor can
get you the result you want.

Thank you so much!!

LizP

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Momma Kath,
Thanks for your answer!
I want to tell you that your site is awsome!
I check the main board every day and enjoy it very much.
I learned so much from the ladies there and from
the info on the FAQs I cannot thank you enough.
My whole attitude towards TTC has changed in the
last three months that I have been visiting your site.
I feel like I wasted a whole year because of
ignorance about what I have to do to get PG.
It's a subject I didn't feel comfortable enough
to speak to anybody about. Mostly because all my friends
succeeded after a very short period of trying, so
nobody had to get more info about it.
This is my 16th cycle of TTC#1 but it's the third
since I am charting according to all the knowledge
I got from the site, so I don't feel there is
any special problem with DH and I, just bad statistics.
I had some blood work done, everything normal.
DH is going for an SA next week and the Dr
prescribed Clomid just to improve our chances.
Here in my country they don't do the whole infertility
workup right away, they let you try with a little help
> of clomid even you ovulate on your own. The good
> news is that the state covers the whole treatment
for up to 2 children, even if you need IVF!
Well, I hope this is not too long. I just wanted to
express my sincere feelings of gratitude.
Bye,
Raquel
 

Hi Momma Kath,

I was just browsing the gratitude notes
and I saw a note I sent you a few months ago.
I can see the info is out of date because
a lot went on with DH and I from then.

We found out we have severe male factor and we're heading to our first IVF cycle in just a few days. These months would have been unbearable without the help of all the wonderful ladies in this site.

It's so encouraging to see all the success stories and see that cases like ours CAN succeed.

I am also much more comfortable with all the procedures I have to go through when I talk about them with the ladies who have done them.

It's very comforting to know I have somewhere to go when I have questions.

Thanks again for your site.
It's a blessing.
Love,
Raquel

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hi again, I wanted to let you know that I am now pregnant.
I feel so lucky to have found your site
because I believe it is what made the difference.
I learned so much and the support was and is wonderful.
I am now in the alumni DB and
it's great. From your calculator,
my EDD is 10/04

Thanks again for a great site.

CindyC

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Wow! How neat to get a letter from you!
I've been reading your site for a few months now
and I'm just to the point where
many of my friends don't know how to respond
anymore...I update them on my temps, etc. and they
just don't know how to give me any feedback!!
So I'm very thankful to have someplace to go
where no one is telling me to "just relax and
it will happen!!!"
Thanks again for this site and your time.

Thank You, Thank You, THANK YOU!!

How could I possibly say enough about this site.
After 11 years of trying to start a family, we were
finally successful after almost two years of
fertility treatments. I don't even want to
try to imagine what
I would have done without each of the wonderful
ladies on this site. I received so much loving
support through all the negative cycles, and the
congratulations were wonderful when I finally saw
that wonderful faint line. I used the TTC store tests, and
they are so very sensitive, the RE couldn't believe
I got a ++ so early!!
This is a loving, supportive and incredibly informative
site, and I'm so glad that it's here for all future TTCers!
The information that is shared so freely is truly amazing.
Congratulations to the women who had the vision for
this site and made it a reality!!!
All my love and support,
Lisa F~

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Momma Kath,
Thank you very much!
I really wanted you to know that your web site has
really been a great place for me to go where lots of other women know
what I am going through. With the help of your website I have learned
more about TTC than when I was in nursing school!!! You have given me a
great deal of insight and inspiration to hang in there and keep on
trying!!!
Thanks again for all of your hard work and devotion to TTC.

Hi, MommaKath. Thanks for the warm welcome. The
information I've obtained since being a part of this
worthwhile program has been invaluable. For a long
time, my dh and I thought we were alone in our sorrows
and frustrations; there seems to be many more people
in this world with similar problems. Because we're
from a very rural place, there isn't any type of
support service here --- medical or psychological.
After years of hoping, we did, however, come into
contact with two drs. who have agreed to take a closer
look at our situation. I've been gathering info. from
the TTC site so that I could discuss various
possibilities with them. With God's grace and the
support of all the TTC members, we hope to one day
share good news on the board.
love and prayers,
jenny

If it weren't for the wonderful TTC website
I wouldn't have met a fellow TTCer who lives just a
little over a mile away
from me, same town.
We discovered this in the chatroom and met in person
today!
She had an m/c in June @5weeks and I had one in July
@5 weeks too.

I made a new friend and found another to support and
to get support from
during this journey to conceive (and stay pg).

Thanks Momma for this site!

Good luck to you!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Kath,
First and foremost, I cannot begin to thank YOU
and YOUR website enough!!! I thank the encouragment,
when I wanted to give up, I thank the laughter that
kept me going, when all I wanted to do was quit.
I shared tears with all the happy pregnant news,
and I shed the tears with the not so good news...

I have learned more than I could ever have learned from
any book or Dr. I truly believe that if it was not for
you and your website..it would of taken me longer, and
I by far would NOT know even a morsel of the
information I do know now about my body.

I am crying as I write this, because, I have grown so
much through TTC and your website. I will forever be
indebted to you and the wonderful group of women this
site attracts.

So much love,
Denise

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Momma Kath,

Hi, I just want to thank you for having these hpt's
available at a reasonable price.
I just ordered 2 more of them....i test like crazy.
I guess i get excited. Husband and I tested yesterday
again twice and both came out possitive.

Your website has been a great help and
we both want to say thank you so much.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I just wanted to let you know
that I love your website,
I visit it everyday.
I am TTC my second child.
It took us 6 years
to conceive our first child,
after trying IVF, we were told
that we were not going to be
able to have kids,
because the outer layer of my
eggs were too thick to pentrate.

A year after trying IVF and no drugs
we conceived on our own.
Now it has been two years TTC our
second child and still no luck.
Your website is fantastic!!!!!

It gives me insite to things I would of
never thought of trying,
without using the
normal fertility drugs.
Thank you!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Subj: Thank you thank you
This is a great website!
I also want to thank you for making good hpt's available so cheaply.
I bought three from you this month and tested at 9 dpo (-),
12 dpo (-), and 14 dpo (AFNW, faintly, faintly +).

I went and got a blood test just hours after getting
this shadow of a line (honestly I would NEVER have shown it to DH,
it would have held NO validity to him)
and that test revealed an HCG level of 13.9!!
My test this morning (17 dpo) was 89,
so I know not only that I am finally pg after
8 cycles of trying, but also that it is most
likely NOT another tubal pg. Knowing that a
line is a line is a line, and that the line
that developed over the period of 20 minutes COUNTED,
helped me rule out the ectopic pregnancy as soon as possible.
So here I am at 17 dpo and FLYING with joy.
Thanks

Hi!
Your website has been a Godsend
and has helped me greatly during
many nights of obsessing and ruminating about TTC.
My DH sends his good thoughts for giving me
a place to go with all of my TTC frenetic energy!!
I wrote in last week inquiring about a very,
very faint (barely legible) positive pg. test.
I thought I might be seeing things
so I went in to get a blood test
(just as the clinic was closing)
so of course I had to wait over night for the results.
I logged on the TTC web site and got a
great deal of encouragement and a lot of
positive energy plus a sprinkling of pg.
dust for good measure. After a very restless night
(as luck would have it) when I called the clinic the next morning....
The lab tech was logging on the computer
to get my results and the computer was frozen!
Ahhggg!!!! After an interminable wait
(actually only about 2 minutes)
I was told my blood test came back positive.
I was stunned and asked for an explanation.....
(I needed to hear the word "pregnant')
I guess to be certain.
I want to congratulate the founders of the TTC website.
It has helped me immeasurably.
I also purchased a supply of ovulation
and pregnancy tests, which were very economical!
Thank you again.

Annie J. (It looks like I'll be due in late Feb.......)

Everything (OPKs & HPTs) arrived.

Thank you so much. I love your site.
My husband and I are hoping that February is our lucky month.
Thanks again.

I want to thank you again for doing the TTC site.

Thanks again~

Hi MommaKath~

First things first, this is the most amazing board I
have ever posted on. You deserve many kudos for developing
such a great site. I read a post on the TTC board
that they had renewed faith in humanity (esp.
women) from reading your boards and I agree!
It is extraordinary the amount of support and
positive feedback that everyone gives each other.
So, again, thank you.

Second, I am recently PG.
(One of the many Valentine's Day +)
I'm hoping you'll be joining the Alumnae Board as well.
Thanks!

It took us almost a year!
After being on the pill for 10 years,
I had my concerns.
But, after a year of morning temps,
charting, herbal remedies and people saying
"we should just do it every day of the month,"
and " you're trying to hard,
relax and it will happen,"
we finally did it!
Your Website gave DH and I a lot of hope.
He enjoyed reading the information
I printed off for him.
Thank you for your wealth of information.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I just want to tell you that your web-site has given me hope.
I've been trying to conceive for about two years now,
and my HMO has just ok'd for tests and stuff to be run.
I am scared that I will never have children
because I have had a miscarriage.
I was afraid to try again, and now it
seems it will never happen.

After I visited your site, tho,
whenever I get depressed,
or discouraged,
I go there.
Thank You

Hi:
Just wanted to say I think you have an awesome site here.
I have been ttc since October 1998.
M/C twice in 1999 and have been actively trying again
since March 2000 with no luck so far.
Last month when my AF came I nearly had a complete breakdown
and decided that I had enough and was ready to just quit.
Then, I came across your website and after reading through
all the info and so many of the success stories
I have a new sense of hope about my situation.
I will continue ttc and have added this site to my favorites.
Maybe one of these days join in the chats.
For now I have just been reading.
Its really just a terrific place and
has given me so much encouragement and information.
Thanks,
Kathy H.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hi Momma Kath:-),

I am so glad that I found this site.
It is really great!

And all the members are so nice and interact w/each other.
It really makes this easier for me since
I came all the way from Macedonia and have no friends or family
that I can talk to or ask questions when I need some answers!

I was using fertilityfriend.com before,
it was Ok but the thing is you can only use that for 30 days
for free and after that you have to subscribe
what makes it hard cause this TTC Journey
is already way to expensive!

When you want something so much it is very hard
when you don't have much control on that,
but it really makes it easyer when you talk to somebody who
is going or had gone through the same thing!

I am so glad about this site and keep up the good work!
Love,

I was referred to your site by a friend! It is
absolutely AWESOME!
Never have I found so much info all in ONE place.
I have been a member of so many online message boards,
and PCOS support groups that I couldnt begin
to tell you all the names of them...
and in each one something just didnt
seem right...either it wasnt for me,
the focus wasn't to better health & TTC..
or I didnt trust the people.
Even though I just joined your message
board and little family on the net...
I have looked around a bit for a
while to see if it was for me...
and I think I have found someplace that
is just right!
God Bless you for making an awesome
connection on the WWW!!!
I look forword to being involved and to lots of
learning!
Love & Many Prayers

Looks like I'm pg.!!!!!!!
I want you to know I owe a large part of it to your site!

If it hadn't been for you site i would have never bought TCOYF! I haven't O'ed in 6 months. This was my 2nd round of clomid and I thought I still hadn't o'ed. I had totally written the month off. BUT I did have EWCM on the day it turns out I o'ed and we dtd. That was the only day I had it and because I was so discouraged about not o'ing yet again, we didn't have many bd'ing nights. I didn't realize until almost 4 days after I o'ed that I had. (I had a stair step rise that wasn't real clear at first) Because of this site and that book, I actually DTD on the right day AND WE DID IT!!!!! It's truelly a miracle that after 9 months of trying and 6 of those being anovulatory that I am actually pg. and you were a part of that miracle!!!!

I will be posting complete details of my success story tomorrow!

LOVE
