Aww, thanks for letting me know, Rose. I'll definitely be praying for you.
My closest friends know that I've been trying and not succeeding. But when do you get to the point where you say "I'm not coping so much anymore", y'know?
Well I haven't been in the situation of trying to get pregnant and not being able to, but you have my sympathy. I know it's horrible when people just give glib answers, mainly to make themselves feel better.
Over the past few months I have been in really bad health and have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease. I have been in hospital three times and am trying my best to stay out over Christmas but my symptoms still haven't really stabilised, even on medications. One of the meds I am on I will likely have to be on for the rest of my life (or until things are very well controlled as it is meant to bring you into and keep you in remission). When I am on this particular medication I am not allowed to get pregnant as there is a very high risk of birth defects. So in that sense I guess I am in a similar situation, only that we haven't started trying yet.
That's all I have to say really. Keep close to God- I know that's advice but it's the only advice that I will give. I will be praying for you and your husband. Hope you have an enjoyable
Bah! Wikipedia makes me believe that you have it pretty bad! *sympathies and hugs* Are you still in the house we had your kitchen tea in? I think I remember you or someone else saying the landlord won't allow children. So at least you don't have to move for a while!! WHOO HOO (I find celebrating terribly trivial and stupid things to lighten my spirits)
It is good advice. I don't want advice on how to make a baby happen. But advice on how to weather the trials and keep eyes pointed on Jesus is good advice.
Like, Sarah, this is making you more like Jesus and is bringing glory to God. I like John 9:1-3 for this. It brings me comfort. So my advice is to read it and meditate on it ;)
Hi Kat, yeah I do have it pretty bad but it has taken me a long time to accept this! Yup still in the same house and won't be going anywhere for a long time (except maybe to the Drs).
Please pray for wisdom for me as there is so much conflicting information about what I should and shouldn't be eating.
I pray for you in your uncertainty too, that you would know the peace of God and what he has planned for you
Thanks for sharing your struggle.ext_1036106December 24 2012, 02:58:29 UTC
Dear Kat, Thanks for being so open and I only hope that this post makes it easier for people to care for you. I know the feeling of really wanting children, but being unmarried I am having to be patient, but it must be very tough for you and James being married and still waiting. I will keep you in my prayers and please know that I feel for you. God loves you so much He gave His son for you, so know that He cares too. God bless. Pete.
