When I saw the title of this one, I felt such an urge to click on it. The title summed up where I am in my life right now. And after reading your story, it's exactly where I am. I'm so thankful God led me to you and to see this. I'm so glad I'm not alone in this. I have struggled with PCOS since a child. I remember being 12 when I was diagnosed and the doctor told me it would be unlikely for me to have kids. It stayed in the back of my mind growing up but when I got married, I wondered if it be possible. Well, we're almost at three years now. I completely understand where you're at. It's painful to see pregnant woman, be invited to my friends showers and even spend time with friends and their babies without having to constantly pray for peace and help to overcome the jealousy. We found out last month my sister, who's been married less than 3 months is expecting. It was a huge blow to me and I didn't take it well. It's taken a lot of prayers and questions to finally be at the place where I'm open to trusting, somehow, God has His hands in all this. I know this is just a scene in the story He's writing. The scene doesn't define me and one day I'll look back at this moment, like you said, and marvel at how far He brought me from.<br />Anyway, I'm sorry for such a long comment. I pray God brings you peace, hope and a little one to you before you know it. <3JuliAnne Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12680690136701474899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843768198538730616.post-5746912105856483582017-07-16T20:28:06.089-07:002017-07-16T20:28:06.089-07:00Laurel, I know the pain and frustration all too we...Laurel, I know the pain and frustration all too well.

It was a God thing that I found this post because I have been struggling with the exact same thing... Cysts on my ovaries otherwise known as PCOS. Recently my husband and I have decided to try for a baby and nothing is more frustrating and emotionally draining than trying to overcome infertility. Long story short, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story! It isn't over yet and I do believe that God works everything together for good... even tho I'm still learning to wholly accept that truth myself. Praying for you!

But just remember that we are very short-sighted. We cannot see what God has for us. So trust Him even this. He is too wise to be mistaken, and too kind to be unkind. "Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy" (James 5:11).

I know too well the pain and emptiness that infertility brings but like you, when I read others' accounts of what they were going through it gave me strength and encouragement. I hope it will do the same for women who read our story. I love the beautiful outcome of yours and appreciate your prayers so much!

It can be the worst kind of sadness when you feel like a mom but have no baby. But, God's plan was different (and better) from mine. Eventually I got a diagnosis and God healed me and we welcomed a beautiful baby girl this past January. I found the answer to why it took so long when I looked into my precious girl's eyes for the first time. I hope this comes as encouragement. God is so good, so patient. Thank you for sharing your story, it was posts like this that made me feel not so alone during those years. I will pray for you tonight, for your precious baby God is preparing for you. I will also pray for your doctors to have wisdom as they care for you. Keep that hope alive in your heart, God keeps his promises!

The more sensitive your heart is, the more vulnerable it is to pain. But also the greater is your capacity to love and feel for others. Thank you for sharing so that I can be one of the many who will be praying for you. <br />Alicenoreply@blogger.com
