How God has worked through PCOS

HopeNJesus · 11-12-2002, 05:36 PM

When I was diagnosed with PCOS, I knew that this was a test. Look! I'm having a Job moment! Satan is trying to shake my faith through this disease, but God has been stronger. He has not let me go. I am thankful for this trial because it has brought me closer to God. Before finding out I have this condition I hated my body- the body that God gave me and that is His temple. I hated it because I didn't understand why I don't look like all my super skinny friends, or why I have to shave my face everyday and feel like less of a woman. But knowing now that there is a reason and having to adjust to my meds, I am better able to appreciate- even love- my body! I am taking better care of God's creation that is me, and He is blessing me for it! All Glory to God!

You are so right...what hope do we have but in HIM? It's hard though, to trust. It makes me so sad to see so many unwed, non-believing woman giving birth. I use to live a life of sin and shame, and now I belong to Jesus, yet its hard to understand why, when I've now "done it right" am barren? I get discouraged when I think about people like my husband's cousin. He got a girl pregnant and she decided to kill it. We begged and pleaded and said we'd take the baby but she refused. A few years later this cousin married her and guess what her reward was...she found out she was pregant one week after the wedding and then even where given a house. Of course neither serve christ and they now have a beautiful daughter. Yet here I am trusting and waiting......
I hate comparing myself to others. Why must I be so different? Why can't I just trust the Lord?
It's like what Proverbs 14 10 says:
Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy.

There are many women in the Bible who had Fertility issues:

Rebekah, Sara, Rachel, Hannah, Elizabeth, and more that can't be thought of right now. Each and every one of them, if you read through, went through some tough times. One even watched her husband have children with his other wife, while she stayed infertile ..............However, in Gods timing, these women bore a child. While I don't want to be 90 giving birth to a child, if thats what the Lord wants, then I'll wait....but He knows the desires of our hearts and gets us through these rough times, I know that He won't let us down!!

Praise God for His mercy on us, and His love!!

I too found myself at a crossroads with infertlity. Then I decided over a year ago that if my role in life was not a mother then I would face it with God rather than alone. He had sent me a nephew that I am helping raise and I just prayed for him to do for me what he had to, if I was to just be an aunt I would be the best one I could. Then last weekend I found out I was pregnant. I was shocked. We were on fertlity drugs for 4yrs and have been off them completely for over a year. I still have alot of things to overcome amd God willing I will deliver a healthy baby. I have high b/p and anemic already and was tested for diabetes yesterday. Sorry this went so long hope to be encouraging . Do not worry God has a plan for us all.

Don't get discouraged but wait on the Lord! We've been trying for 2 years and finally found out that we're pregnant (7 weeks yesterday). I have prayed daily for a baby and finally asked the Lord to help me accept it if it wasn't His will. He always answers prayer; sometimes it's what we want and other times it's His will but it's always what is best for us. My dad died on October 30 and we think we got pregnant on November 16. I keep saying that daddy got to heaven and asked God for a favor. Of course, I know that the wonderful blessing came from God. Please pray for a healthy pregnancy for me and all the other PCOS'ers. Also, for more encouragement, read through the "Pregnant Cysters" message board. It really helped me while I was TTC.
Best of luck to you all. I'll be praying for God's will in your lives.

That is so wonderful, congratulations!!!
I have 3 children 1 will be turning 13 (then all kinds of problems happened) 1 DD that is 6 and 1 ds that will be 3 the day after christmas. After learning about PCOS, I have found I am truly blessed to have gotten pregnant with my DD and DS. I cried last night when I came to that revelation. I wasn't on any bc and I know that God wanted these babies born. I really thought I wasn't going to have anymore children after my first dd.

Keeping all you expecting Moms in my prayers!
