We have been talking about how other people's comments hurt us. I just saw Jen's new quote which I love. What are some other comments or quotes that you use to get through your tough times?

Another friend found out she was pregnant today, positive thoughts are needed!

[dndtaylor]

Not so much a quote or anything; I just try to think about me being in the shoes of others. Has there ever been a time that I've asked friends "when are you going to start your family?" Maybe they were having IF probems and I added salt to the wound. When my friends / famliy get PG, it hurts; but I'm the bigger person and put on a smile and say my congrads. I can't wait until I'm the person in those shoes, announcing my BFP and such. So I think of it as there happy and it is there moment, it is just taking me a little while longer to get it. Not sure if this is what you were looking for but hope it helps!

well i always tell myself "in God time, because with God all things are possible", and thats what keep me going

[RainbowGirl]

I always put on the song Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head (I have a great cover version by Jebidiah!) and I turn up the volume for these words:

"One thing I know,
These blues they send to meet me,
Won't defeat me
Won't be long til happiness comes on to greet me"

I have a lot of bible verses that I try and keep around me for just those moments I need to see/hear them most.

James 1:17 - Every good and perfect gift is from above....

"He not only perfectly understands our case and our problem, but He has morally, actively, finally solved it." quote by P.T. Forsyth

2 Corinthians 1:3-5 - Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

Isaiah 49_13 - For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.

Philippians 4:13 - I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Psalm 31:7-8 - I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul. You have not handed me over to the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.

1 Peter 5:10 - And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

I could go on and on and on.....

Here are a few of my favorites:

• That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.
• This too shall pass.
• Any quote from the Stevie Nicks song, "Sometimes it's a B****" (bad word, I know, but it's such a GREAT song).
• If God is for us, who can be against us.

This is one was from my dad he gave me a little prayer card for my wallet.

SERENITY PRAYER:
God, light of my life, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the diffrence.
Amen

I hope this helps!!! It does for me. Wishing you all the best of luck and I hope it will be our turn soon.

"Everything happens for ur own good"
"Even impossible says I-M-Possible"

[ponygirlatcua]

It's not a quote... but it helps me! My mom actually runs the lab at our RE's office. It seems like everyone I know has gone through there, and they've all eventually gotten (and stayed!) pregnant with my doc. I know that it might not happen as quickly as we would all like, but I have faith that it will eventually happen

That is one of my favorites! I have a ceramic plate in my living room that says that.

I also like (or at least really believe): Everything happens for a reason.

[Kellileanne]

I just keep telling myself that I am going through this because it is part of Gods plan. If I am ever to get pregnant, it is in His plan! If I never get pregnant than God has a child (or two or three) out there planned for me!

It really gives me comfort, I have had too many close calls that I know he was there to stop what was about to happen because there was more here for me to do!!!

[jenedens6102]

Kelli, I say the same thing. God has a plan and purpose for all of our lives, he has a plan to give us hope and a future. So if I'm not meant to carry or rear biological children I have to hope that he has a child out there waiting to be adopted and put into our home. Only time will tell but I have faith and trust in Him to provide in all ways.

[jody31]

My dh is always telling me, "the greater the fight, the greater the victory." This always makes me feel better, because all I can think of is the day I get to hold our little baby for the first time. Every tear, every cent, every moment waiting will be worth it the day we get that !

[TiffanyW]

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him... Romans 8:28

I live by this verse. I don't know where this infertility journey will take us but I know that in the end it will be a blessing. God is working out something beautiful for me and my husband.

[hope26]

I am still having such a hard time with this IF journey...as we all are. But I found this quote an have been trying to "live" by it. I do truely believe it and I feel like it has given me hope and patience.

-Understanding is God's Responsiblity. Trusting is Ours.


to us all!
