Hi Ladies,

I would love to join ya'll... I have long been looking for some Christian support when it comes to battling with pcos. It's hard for me because most Christians that I know tell me to trust God alone and other unsaved people don't give any relation to faith and trusting God... It's been so hard to battle this syndrome and maintain support from those who share my faith in God.

Hello! Can I join you all? I'm Jules & I'm a new mom to twincesses Chloe & Hannah (2wks old) & my big boy, Brandon, aka mommy's "Bran-Man" who will be 8 on Jan 7. I'm married to an awesome husband, Dan. I'm a full time SAHM. I love my Heavenly Father & His precious Son, Jesus Christ! I would love to be with other women who share that love for the LORD & their families. I have Lots more to share.

Hi Ladies...I have been a AWOL for a number of reasons. We did our first (and last) cycle of Femara with IUI this month. I got a BFN yesterday and AF showed her face this am. Due to a low AMH level, I was advised by the dr to get more aggressive: Injects, Femara, IUI. I asked them yesterday how much this would cost. $1600. I said thank you, but I am out. I do not have the funds to pay for everything, as well as miss work to have monitoring U/S, bloodwork, etc. DH and I are dealing with all of this news. I would really appreciate it if you all would pray for us, as right now, we can't seem to find the strength to pray for ourselves. I wish I and DH could be stronger in our faith, but right now we aren't....We feel beat down, broken, misused, misled....I don't even know the right word for how we feel.

today is a tough day. I got a call from my mil and she is wanting gradbabies. All of her sisters have daughters or dil that are preggers and she mentioned that she was wanting one too. It's hard. I'm trying. I have been trying for some time now. I don't need to be reminded of the failure.

I am sick of my body letting me down. Why can't I have anything go right with this body. Just onc, I'd like for something to work the ways it is suppose to when I want it to.

Please keep me in your prayers. Thanks.

Hi, my name is Jackie, I'm looking for some new Christian Sisters to have as friends! Can I join you all? I'm a SAHM mom to 3 beautiful girls, ages 10, 7, & 3. I'm disabled due to 2 major back surgeries and chronic back problems. But I try not to let it get me down. I hope to make new friends.

I don't know if anyone will look at this thread, but I have a doctor's appt. in two hours and am panicking and would really appreciate some prayer as we go over my bloodwork!

Thanks, y'all..

How exciting for me to first find this site, and then to find this thread for Christians. I was dx with PCOS in 2001 (after 2 yrs ttc). After stopping treatments with Clomid and pursuing adoption, we were blessed with a pg in 2004. DS was born 5/05 and the adoption was stopped due to the timing of the pg and when we would have been traveling to China. What an incredible blessing DS is! It has been a periodi struggle for me since ... everyone in my life is fertile and I can't tell you how many times I've heard, 'after the first one, the next one come easy.' I cry out to God for comfort. As He is the only source of comfort I have. My family and friends don't understand. I'm so hurt by rude comments of 'you are trying too hard' and 'it's not the end of the world if you don't have children' ... I am so alone. It's been super hard for me this past year, as I turned 39 and know that time is just about out for me anyway. DH is 46, thinks he is too old to be having another baby, and is content with our fabulous blessing of our son. I'm sorry I'm rambling ... like I mentioned, I have no one who understands. Poor DH can't take my pity me and why me all the time -- thankfully God did bless me with a wonderful Christian DH who does try to understand (as much as a man can ;-) Anyway, I guess I'm just asking for prayers and a friend or two who can help me through this. I thought I was at a point of acceptance, until the Christmas cards started arriving and the surprise announcements of new babies ... I'm happy for those who are blessed with children ... just heartbroken for me and can't help but keep asking 'WHY didn't I deserve to have children easily? Why am I the only one in the family and my life with this dreadful condition?' ... Thanks for listening.
Blessings ~

Hi there. I was wondering if I could join in too? My name is Kisha and I became a Christian when I was a little girl. I try very hard to live my life pleasing to my savior. So glad for his grace when I fail. I've been dealing with PCOS for about 8 + years now. I have one wonderful 9 1/2 year old dd. Haven't been able to have any others since her. Tried Clomid but can't even ovulate with that. Have lost about 40 pounds and kept it off. My emotioal ups and downs are more stable so overall PCOS is better. I look forward to following this thread. Hope everyone has a blessed New Year! Nice to meet you! Kisha

smcwhorter901 · 01-06-2009, 01:56 PM

Hopeful,

I know exactly what you mean... those comments... especially from family members and other Christians, they are well meaning, but they hurt so much. I remember when my husband and I had to make a very difficult decision to leave the church we were at because we needed more of a support system for what we were dealing with. We met with our Pastor and told him how our marriage ministry dealt alot with parenting and not marriage and he said... "Well, maybe that's just a slap in the face to you because of what you are dealing with" They were the most hurtful words and now, even a year later, they still hurt. My mother is an evangelist and when I try to share my struggle with her she just says that I don't need to be worried about that... it's probably just not time... I've learned just to keep most of these things to myself.

You will be in my prayers and thoughts! I know exactly how you feel. It took me a long time to get pregnant with my son. Then I finally got pregnant and miscarried! I can't tell you how frustrated and angry I was. I was a Christian with a great Christian hubby and we couldn't get pregnant, but yet some teenagers could without even trying! It took us on an emotional rollercoaster. And my sister had a baby without any trouble and everyone at church would ask, "So when are you going to have a baby?" They had no idea what was going on and I just wanted to scream at them. It just didn't make sense! We prayed and my family prayed and we got pregnant again and in 2001 our son was born. Three years later (with many drugs & prayers) I delivered a baby girl. My hubby and I are now in the process of adopting #3. We are having to be patient with the adoption, which is hard for me. But waiting to get pregnant has prepared me for this again. My favorite bible verse that helped me through these times is on my signature - Jeremiah 29:11. God does know the plan for us. And although it may not be the plan we want, it is HIS plan that matters. And our timing is not always with HIS timing either. And I know it's so hard when everyone around you seems to be having babies. But look at the precious miracle you have with your son and how awesome God's love is. I pray for God's peace with you. Have you considered adoption again?

Hello! I'm Mandy, and I'm so glad I stumbled onto this board. I would love to join you ladies, if that's all right...
A little bit about me - I have been married since July 2006 and officially TTC since June 2008. After going off BCP in June, my cycle began to come every 60 days...leading to the PCOS diagnosis. I started Metformin (2000 mg) in October and have lost 20 lbs. since then. I just started my first round of Clomid (50 mg, cd 5-9) and am about 4 dpo right now...so I am in the aggravating 2ww time frame!!
Sometimes I get sooo frustrated because it seems like God is blessing other people who don't even WANT kids with a baby, and here I am struggling to conceive. But then I remind myself: maybe these struggles are for a reason so that my testimony can help someone else someday.
Anyway - I know I am new here, but I would like to ask you all to pray for my husband and me and we are in the 2ww. Thanks so much, and I look forward to getting to know you all!

I will definitely be keeping you in my prayers... Stay encouraged - I know this is a hard, long, and sometimes lonely battle to fight!

Hi Christian Cysters!
I am Meghan, and I was dx April 2006 after no AF for six months. After dx, I was dumbfounded and horribly letdown... being a mom was all I wanted to do my whole life and suddenly that dream seemed very dim. I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. Two and half years later, I see my PCOS as a blessing. I'm having horrible days lately working up motivation to fight it, but when I look back on how PCOS has changed me and caused me to grow, I am happy that God allowed me to take on this challenge.

I went back to school and got my AA degree and will be going back soon to finish out my bachelors in music performance. Without PCOS, I would not have found any reason to go back. Having PCOS has caused me to reexamine my use of my gifts, and it was freeing to realize I have the time and freedom to hone and use them. I have realized I have so many possibilities at my fingertips... hopefully motherhood is one of them, but if not, eh, I can be used in other ways. Basically, God broadened my desires and my scope with PCOS.

W/O it, I would have gotten prego at 20, newly married, no money, no education, no plan... and God knew that is not how I wanted to raise my kiddos. As disgusting, helpless, and unfeminine as I feel some days, I would not change it.
