Good to hear!! I thought when I was diagnosed that God was punishing me for the many years I said I'd kill myself before getting pregnant. It was THAT BADLY that I didn't want to be a mom, I was THAT selfish.
Now I'd like just as badly to be a mom, even if it means I'd have to give up part of me for that child. I just wholeheartedly want to follow God's plan, no matter what that means.
I am not Christian, but in my humble opinion, I don't believe that any God would punish someone for previous choices they have made. Learning and growing is the result of each decision we make in our lives, and to me that's what it's all about. I don't believe God would punish you for a decision in your past because it helped make you the person you are today, and I believe that's all a part of the plan.

I often feel that I am in the same situation--that God is punishing me for doing something horrible in a past life--why am I the only one out of all my friends that has to constantly worry about my weight and excess hair and acne and they dont have a care in the world
To the original poster or anyone else who might be struggling in a similar situation -- I would really encourage you to check out Project Rachel. Project Rachel can provide free, confidential counseling to anyone grieving or hurting after an abortion. You don't have to be Catholic to receive counseling from them, and there are Project Rachel programs nationwide.

I don't believe that at all. My beliefs are complicated and I don't want to get into it, but I will tell you that I do believe we all come here with a plan, and that everything happens for a reason. What happened was going to happen, as it was supposed to happen. God doesn't punish people like that. If you are supposed to be a mom, you will be. Don't keep beating yourself up! (hugs)
I have had health problems since I was little. It's just one thing after another. Then 2 years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS and sometimes I just feel like I am being punished. I don't understand why this has to happen to me. Neither my sisters or my mom suffer from PCOS or any other disorder like this. I just makes me angry!!

I agree.

I have wrestled and still do with why God allowed this burden to be mine. There is NO condemnation is Christ Jesus, none. While the truth is there are things we do to open doors and I have done my share, Gods blessing for us is an abundant life. His desire is to bless and prosper us (and I'm not talkin money!). I would like to think back to the book of JOB. Through everything the devil stole, JOB still found a way to praise God. "Count it all joy", Paul said. I have racked my brain trying to figure out what I did to deserve this and the truth is no one does. I wouldn't wish this or any of my symptoms on my worse enemy. Believe that you are wonderfully and fearfully made, regardless. Know that you are made in HIS image and that aint broken or damaged!
Most of all, speak authority over yourself and PCOS! The bible says EVERYTHING must bow to the name of Jesus, EVERYTHING! The Bible tells us that "Life and death is in the power of the tongue" you wanna a baby? Call those things that aren't as tho they were! I want a baby too, I want one so bad that I cry sometimes But I also speak it into existence. The Bible tells us to come boldly to the throne. I thank God in advance, just as I did with my husband (4 years before I ever knew he existed). Start today, thank God for your baby, thank God for your healing. Use the authority that God tells us all to operate in
Remember always that you are a daughter of a King. You have a father that loves you more than anything, that is the reality of your relationship.
Loving God and suffering emotionally and physically (I have hidradenitis, which is horribly painful) is hard but pray as Daniel prayed, without ceasing, cause please believe, just as your waring down here on earth, there's a war in the heavenlies over you as well.

For an update I have been taking Metformin for almost 3 mths now and it has done some amazing things, I am now getting AF every mth and I am ovulating! Which is a good sign! I feel as if I don't have PCOS no more. I know this is a blessing from God and I am so thankful.
What a Mighty God we serve!

That is so wonderful that Metformin is working for you! I am not ttc just yet, but I remember when I was diagnosed with PCOS 7 years ago; one of the first things my ob/gyn said to me was "you'll need help conceiving, so when you're ready to conceive you'll need to see a reproductive endocrinologist." I put that thought on the back burner, until recently when I got the "baby itch" (I'm in a serious relationship-and it seems like EVERYONE I know is preggers) That was really the first time I thought about not being able to conceive naturally. I'm sure when I'm ready to have children I'll find a way, but my biggest dream/goal in life is to become a mother...so it's hard to think of not being able to have children. Good luck to you!!

Hey ladies! I just wanted to weigh in here. God is NOT punishing you! I understand what you are going through. I used to think maybe a hypothetical god was punishing me for some sexual indiscretions in my past, but since then I have (through a long journey) become Catholic and started learning to accept forgiveness. I know its hard to conceive of why a good God would make women bound to have a condition that makes them gain weight and have facial hair and have fertility problems, but you just have to trust that God knows what He's doing, and we don't have near enough perspective to try to understand why God does things.
Also, while God hates abortions, He loves you! And don't think God doesn't have the where-with-all to realize that you were young and scared when you got that abortion, and He feels the pain you feel now.
Some people mentioned Project Rachel, and while I have no experience with it, I know it is a sister project to the Gabriel Project which helps women in a very personal, nonjudgmental, and compassionate way. It is totally confidential, and it could be a wonderfully healing experience for you.
It could be but I do not want to speak for God. This is my opinion ask him to forgive you and he will. Because he loves eveyone and is willing to forgive you. I pray for blessings for you take care
I thought that I was being punished by God also (not for abortion). I have changed my mind and feel better because of it. I don't think you should feel guilty anyways because no matter what we do God is always there for us at the end of the day.
