When my father first came to me and told me Adam had ask to be permitted to court me I was thrilled. I am absolutely ecstatic! Our families had been friends for years and I knew Adam was just what I wanted in a husband; a godly,strong, hardworking provider. Not to mention he is absolutely adorable:)
As things progressed in our courtship Adam and I had some very serious discussions that most more "worldly" couples probably would not have had so early in a relationship. The second evening he spent fellowshiping with my family and I we discussed such subjects as children, schooling, birth control, church, Godly submission, and such. I was enrolled in college at the time and as Adam did NOT want me to work once we were married I saw no reason to continue. College was totally unnecessary for me at this point and a waste of money. Adam and I felt my time would be much better spent at home honing my skills as a wife, mother and homemaker.
At that time I was also on a birth control pill to try to regulate my cycle, I had spent countless night lying in bed crying and praying to the Lord to ease the pain I felt every month. My father thought it would be best for me to go off of this ungodly medication as it could encourage Adam and I to stumble in our walk with the Lord. Adam and I agreed as we were planning on not using it once we were married anyways. We want to allow the Lord to decide when to open and close my womb. As if it was in response to our show of faith the Lord did ease my monthly suffering and I have not had any pain since goin off that medicine. Praise the LORD! Adam and I are hoping the Lord sees fit to give us the blessing of a child soon.
I honestly will probably write again today as I am sooooo excited to have my very own blog. I am really enjoying my life so far being a keeper at home:)
God doesn't promote hate, so on your slippery slope to hell, say hi to the 'gays'.
ReplyDeleteI was very irregular when I was young, went on the pill to regulate my cycle, and after I got married ended up pregnant five times while still on said pill. The dose wasn't strong enough for me to keep the pregnancies going, but it definitely helped with conception.
ReplyDeleteJust suggesting that you consult with a good reproductive endocrinologist (a doctor) instead of your Father/Pastor/Husband/Midwife/Cult Guru on the subject. It might spare you time and trouble down the road.
Good luck.
I would like to learn more about that. I don't think Adam would agree though. Now that I have my very own computer maybe I could find some info before I bring it up to him. Thanks for the suggestion.
ReplyDeleteWell this was my problem

Your mileage may vary.
Allison, it sounds like you have endometriosis from the description of so much pain. You don't say how long you were on the pill but it was probably long enough to stop the endometrium buildup for now. But if it is endo it will likely return. But whether it's that or something else the poster above is right that you should see a good OB/GYN doctor. My daughter has polycystic ovarian syndrome and without medical intervention she wouldn't have her 2 children. It took 4 years to get pregnant the first time, 6 years the second. They did not need in-vitro and any intervention that went against the teachings of their church (Catholic) but without the specific medication regimen required she'd still be childless.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your advice on this issue. With all that's going on in our family Adam and I have decided to not focus on starting a family of our own just yet. If the Lord blesses us with a child that would be fine but we are not going to stress over it at this time. I do really appreciated all of your advice and I am looking into the conditions and treatments you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it sounds like you may have endemetriosis. If you eat a lot of red meat, that can make the endometriosis worse. Good luck!
