Christian ivf mums or mums to be


Dear Horsie, when i read about you, i am shattered as well. I know how it feels. I too lost my gal around 18 weeks and when i delivered her sleeping, she looked exactly like your boys too.

Cant help you regarding IC but yes i also recommend for your next pregnancy, bedrest thru out. I was also on CRIB from 2nd tri all the way. Pee also use bedpan, eat in bed, bathe via sponge bath and wash hair only a few days apart.

Hopefully bedrest can help you as well in your next pregnancy. I was such a frequent hospital stayer that i also met mummies who stayed in hospital all thru their pregnancy. That can be a consideration too.

Hugs! I know its tough. But remember you are still a mother. Your children are just being babysitted by Jesus in the meantime, they will meet you one day. Thats how i remember my gal too, she will forever be my gal, just that she has to wait for me in heaven where its a better place for her than this harsh world.
 
To: All

I am writing my 2nd book now and is calling for co-authors who are keen to contribute an article about their pregnancy journey also to help sponspor some cost of the book. My aim is to help spread the message and let more people aware of such pregnancy complications and hope to avoid such problems in future.

See link if keen or PM me...

baby_lang, I read the website. It said Reiki (霊気) literally means “divine energy”. This healing is done by entering the spiritual reams.

Is there any bible passage reference you can share?
 
Catholics are worshiping mother mary and not the one true God as what Christians do. Apparently they believe in saints and such. Baby lang, you've mentioned that ''you don't feel that it is against the catholic/christian faith'' Well based on the Bible in which

Leviticus 19:26 '' Do not practice any divination or sorcery'' and again in verse 31 ''Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God'' In the eyes of God and the Christian approach, it is considered against HIS will. HE does not like it. - Nothing to comment on catholics as i am not one.

Though i suppose it is tempting at times especially when people yearn for a child. But i believe God will give you in HIS time. (well of course, you'll need to be active in seeking help, thus here doctors and ivf comes in handy) this is what i thought. May all TTcing ladies bfp soon!

trustingHim: I have been to church service at Trinity Christian Centre. Thank you for your suggestion.

sunstillshines: Here is a link to a website that attempts to explain Reiki to Christians. It may help a little:

http://www.christianreiki.org/info/FAQ.htm

Melissa: When I first wrote my post on this thread, I was simply sharing my experiences with Reiki and was certainly not expecting such vehement objections to what I feel is a form of alternative healing that could help us in our difficult journey to conceive.

I am not touting nor advocating Reiki, simply sharing my own experience with it. I respect that you have your own opinion on the topic and thank you for sharing it.
 
hi sisters..
time flies..im now in my 1st fet 2ww. Just hanging on to the testing of hpt..i hope you sisters here can remember me in prayers as im feeling much af cramps now...much appreciated& God bless you all:)
 
Hi Sarah,

Firstly, what you are going through and feeling is very normal. I was feeling it too. I have been married close 10years as well and had a failed IVF cycle in this Sept.

Someone once told me, "when we clenched out fist tight, whatever God wants to give us will press on our hand". Letting go and letting God isn't easy but I want to encourage you to remember God. Have an attitude of praise and thanksgiving, be like Peter who knew what he did still turn to God. God do not delight in seeing us go through tough times, Jesus Himself was not spare suffering BUT He chose a better thing: obedience. Yes we all will have to face this question: If I do not have a child, what will be my heart's attitude towards God? What is next for me God?

I hope you will be strong and be an overcomer in Christ.

God loves you sister!

Hi Sarah

I can't say what God have in store for us. We just pray and hope for the best. All I can say is the stronger ones have a bigger challenges than the weaker? I too was married for 8 years, miscarriage twice, first one last year and this year a twin. My younger sis just delivered a baby girl, all throughout pregnancy, she just eat and drink whatever she like despite we told her no cold drink and etc. Even till confinement, she is not following rules strictly.. It may sound unfair, however I just knew God is saving the best one for me. I just have to get my body prepared and ready for the baby to arrive.. However, by stopping to pray and hear from Him, what do we know are we ready or not? Just my thoughts.. don't give up!
 
Sarah: yes I sense so. But I have stopped asking God the "why" questions but ask "what" instead. God is God and I acknowledge that His ways is higher than mine.. Asking "why" helps me process my feelings but asking "what" helps me to look for what God is doing in my life and of those around me.

I agree that God all things work for good of those who love Him. This is a promise indeed and the exhortation to us is to be of good courage, persevere and wait in trust and hope that God can only have the best for us. We cannot order God. Lets resolute in our hearts that nothing and no one can separate us from the love of God and to desire this more and above anything else. We do have the peace that transcends all understading and may the joy of the Lord be indeed our strength! Jia you!

Hi ladies,

I was wondering if any of you can recommend a good Christian IVF/fertility specialists?

I've been seeing Dr TC Lim of Tow Yung Clinic, he's a very nice Christian gynae who always give very godly advice, encouraging us to pray and trust God for his timing. We have been trying for more than 2 yrs now. I first saw Dr. Lim after we TTC for 1 yr, went thru vaginal u/s, HSG and sperm analysis. My test results were ok, but hubby had low morphology, he was prescribed supplements to take for a few months and we delayed IUI till September last yr due to travelling and work, it was unsuccessful. We conceived naturally in November which was a great surprise but m/c at 5 weeks. My gynae has advised us to try naturally for another 6 months, but I would like to start seeking advice for IVF/fertility treatments, as research and tests take time. I am hitting 35 in a few months and hubby has just celebrated 40. Hope to get some recommendations from you ladies here. Thanks and God bless

"Brothers and Sisters-in-Christ, peace be to you. To all... the strangers who came today, I don't know you all, but because of your love, thank you for coming today, I really appreciate your presence heretoday. Your support gives my family & I a lot of strength, or else I won't be able to stand here today.""Today at about 4pm, while I was bathing, I heard a voice. A voice that tells me to share... how I came to know Jesus, and accepted Jesus.""I come to know Jesus because of my eldest son. My son Nigel is a hyperactive child, and He gave us MANY problems. My husband & I were on the brink of divorce. I'm not saying 宗教 is not good, because I know this is a sensitive issue. I just want to share with you my experience.""Now I do believe there is only One God. And there is really One God. And this God is good.""There are divine ways and solutions we were trying to seek, we even went to Malaysia to calm our child. But we couldn't find the way. My child gave us a lot of problems.""But my sister introduced me to Jesus, she said "You tried every way. Why don't you try and believe Jesus? He is also a God. Just come and try, if it doesn't work then it's okay.""So I agreed and decided to ask Jesus, it's better to try than nothing right?""Once I believed in Jesus, my whole family has changed. In the past my husband and I ALWAYS quarrel. At that time I was just a new christian.""Being a Christian doesn't mean we will not have difficulties, we will still face different trials. But relying and trusting in Jesus, we will definitely triumph in every trial.""Jesus saved our marriage. And through our eldest son, our whole family was soooo blessed.""Actually Donovan's not my 2nd child, I had a miscarriage of my 2nd child after 2 months. It was difficult trying to conceive him. (cries)""After Donovan was born, He gave us a stronger encouragement. I believed that Donovan is from GOD, and I always thought, Nigel used to give us a lot of trouble, so God gave me Donovan to compensate what has been lost previously.""Actually my thinking was very wrong indeed.""Because GOD will SURELY give us the best.""Nigel, is also my BEST son, my precious son.""Last Saturday in Hokkien service, I was leading worship and Nigel was playing drums. My son, Nigel told me "Mummy, I don't know how to drum, I don't know how to drum Chinese New year songs." I told him, "I know you can, you can surely do it!" And He really did. We were really good leading together.""And my youngest son, He loves to dance and sing. In Sunday school, we also paired up for dancing and singing. And we were a great pair.""I really thank God, that through this two sons, I have a lot more blessings than before.""I believe right now, they are in heaven.""During the night of tragedy, my sister dreamt that they were wearing white robes and a crown of glory, both holding hand-in-hand, and said 'goodbye' to my sister in laughter.""I really believe one day I will meet them in heaven one day.""Because of these two sons, I will continue to live on strongly... (cries).""I really thank you Singaporeans, for showing your love and support. I am really extremely appreciative. God is so good, All Glory to God (Hallelujah)."Please share/like this beautiful testimony, beloveds!

Hugs hugs hugs..

I believe many of us including me have been in ur situation before. The journey is never easy but I supposed at the end of it God wants to test our patience and also for His glory be seen at the end. I try to tell myself that all others who have good news might be trying hard too or lost before so I do not know their journey so I dun get too down I also dun go fb.

God tested me for 9years before I got my answer. In between I went thru many cycle failures and losses..my hubby had cancer and finally we even filled out adoption papers etc. But in the end, we just let God lead...not that we had not been led by Him but in our tots and mind from starting it was all in 'Our way our method ..we do this we do that' but at last we did this instead - we pray together as couple-HE will be in our midst- Matthew 18:20. Then ask God to lead. And wait for him to answer. I believe in the power of prayers Romans 12:12 and I will too pray for you!

Hi my dear, I totally understand how u are feeling. It's really not an easy journey. I have been through this myself and through it all, I tell myself and hubby that we must continue to have faith in God that He will provide what is good for us. It is very easy to love God when things are going smoothly for us, the true test is when things gets rough. Hence hubby and I continue to persevere, praying everyday and trusting in God's timing.

I did everything possible that I read in forum. Tcm for 2 years and acupuncture. I tried dhea and a lot of other supplements. I went through 8 fresh cycles, it was a lot of emotional disappointments and stress and tears. But I felt that I just needed to do what is within my means, and the rest I leave it with God.

I hope you don't give up...trust that God knows and wants the best for you, in His time. Will be praying for you!
