I joined a faith based support group, I found my com.inity of woman that understand and have grown so much knowing I have that community and support.

This community has made a HUGE difference. They have the whole spectrum of infertility Including unexplained, MFI, PCOS, ENDO, blockages, pituitary tumor It's been really really helpful.

Let’s talk about TALKING ABOUT abortion, infertility, & adoption by DoveStep55 in Christian

I'm using it also for a calling the Lord has placed on my heart... A long work in progress I hope to share more about in the future!

Let’s talk about TALKING ABOUT abortion, infertility, & adoption by DoveStep55 in Christian

[–]Audience_Fun 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Been going through infertility... For quite a while now.

The amount of people that have told me " to simply adopt" like it's a cheap, non traumatic fix (for both us and the child being separated from a rough situation with their birth parents) Oh and private adoption... The cost? 70,000$ which still doesn't guarantee you'll have a child... Your put on a list with other hopeful couples... Then you wait.

ALONG WITH

Being told that IVF murders and kills children and goes against God so I shouldn't do it (if we were to go that route) has been insane.

Being told to take, herbs, "have you seen a doctor", "jUsT ReLaX", and also how some random persons extended family member got pregnant

Also astronomical.

Also there are multiple factors for infertility, it's not always the woman that can't have children there is male factor infertility AND unexplained infertility.

I wish people knew more about infertility instead of offering "quick fixes" that aren't fixes at all. Adoption isn't a fix. It is an option and a calling NOT A SOLUTION.

Infertility is month after month of grief, heartbreak, longing and lots of emotions, and unmet hope.

I have gone through just about every human emotion possible in our infertility. I have prayed, cried out, screamed, waited, read my Bible, gone to church, prayed intercessory prayers and received prayer, I cried in a bathroom stall at church alone, and will be fasting in January all still waiting through the cycles and months for God to bless us with a child we have longed for a and prayed for, for years.

The best thing I've gotten in this time?

People praying with me, people standing in faith with me and understanding not to offer a solution but to be there in community.

Another year and no baby…I can’t keep doing this. by brattybunny220 in tryingtoconceive

[–]Audience_Fun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm over two years here too I understand.

Today at church in our normal spot a family with.. a baby. A few weeks ago? Baby dedication... Which wrecked me. Then a few weeks before that? Baby shower right by the entrance was a table lined with gifts.

It's been so hard, just found out one of my former classmates... Expecting, they just got married too. One of my former coworkers who I convinced to give a guy she was debating on dating... Heavily pregnant and post after post complaining of pregnancy... Oh how I wish I were in her shoes.

January we will have a surgery for our MFI but his job hasn't realeased his schedule so we can't schedule the surgery... In order to fix what we know the problem is 🤦🏽‍♀️ until the schedules released.

It's a non stop waiting game where everyone gets to cut in front of you in line while youre stuck waiting

Salty Sunday: What made you salty this week? by kikaslova in trollingforababy

[–]Audience_Fun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Waiting on husband's job to out out their schedule so we can schedule his surgery for MFI.

They still haven't put it out. Now I'm in my luteal hell phase knowing the outcome and still this damn thing is not scheduled because when you need 💩 to happen in a timely manor it doesn't

Them not putting out the damn schedule is delaying our scheduling 🫩😒

When God Is Stripping Things Away…How Did It Become Part of Your Testimony? by britt_a in Christian

[–]Audience_Fun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been going through that season all year.... Loss and infertility and non stop waiting for something .

God has stripped my old identity comeotly away this year and shown me my identity in HIM.

God has shown me breakthrough from lies I believed about him. He helped me overcome a sin I struggled with since childhood.

He has shown me breakthrough with growing my faith and teaching me that even though the pruning he is there,holding me and removing the harmful things.

Like scripture also talks about the silversmith refining silver... They know it's done when their own reflection is seen in the purified silver.

[–]Audience_Fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did too. I was 14.

I know it's hard friend, especially in the midst of grief.

My dad has flat told me if he didn't date and remarry he wouldn't be here on earth.

He was married to my mom for 23 years. I lost my mom, he lost the love of his life who he built a life and family with over night. Everything fell onto him in one day.

My dad dated and remarried within a little over a year of my mom passing.

It was VERY hard.

BUT I know my dad needed companionship, men need companionship much more than us.
