We struggled to conceive our first baby and had a few miscarriages. What we believe helped was taking a whole lot of supplements to help with egg quality and just health overall. Of course God's timing was also a part, but I believe lifestyle change was the biggest factor as we then got pregnant with our second baby 8 months postpartum without any issues, and I'm still taking the same supplements as before. The hardest part for me was seeing my friends and other people get pregnant so easily while it took us two years to get pregnant with our daughter. It wasn't an easy process whatsoever and I can't say that I handled it well at all, but thankfully the Lord is always refining and making us more like Him and I hope that if I was in the same situation again, I would handle it in a more godly way

We're coming up 3 years of TTC after multiple losses and testing we've come up with a new treatment plan that includes IVF and medication protocol to take while pregnant. I believe if we had been referred sooner we would have had a baby now but I've complained and been reassured changes have been made locally ❤

Thank you so much for sharing this. I thought I was crazy. I felt like my body was playing a cruel joke on me. Thank you for showing me I’m not alone.

I tried 4 years after my first passed at 5 months pregnant. After my son was born, we tried 8 years and then adopted. We have opened our hearts to 3 amazing little girls, and I thank God every day.

Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏🏼

Thank you for sharing this. I know how hard it is to hear this but don’t give up hope. I have two daughters, 7 years apart. I miscarried 4 babies in between them. I was hopeless for a moment, but 7 years later my baby came. Thank you for showing us this vulnerable moment. It’s real and relatable. God bless you and I’m praying for you.

Awh Im so sorry to hear that you went through succh a hard time with 4 misscarriges😢 cant even imagine how painful that must have felt at the moment. But wow so wonderful that you eventually got pregnant and that it worked out🙏❤️ Someone below here in the comments actually made me aware that it takes 7 years for the body to recover from a pregnancy, so maybe the body needed that time. Maybe thats for me now too… the body is smart and the whole time wired to take care of us in the best way. God is in control, so I will let Him be and still pray that we might also have the joy for a second child❤ thank you for your prayer 🙏

I am so sorry you guys. 😢Trust me I feel your pain. My husband and I have been trying for 2 yrs for our baby but it has not happened. It is hard to be in such a long waiting season and very sad.

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers that means alot! ❤️The hardest part for me about being in the “waiting” period is that you start to kind of lose hope. I have had my sister in law and little cousin both get pregnant at the same time. Even though I was happy for them Im just like whats wrong with me? Why cant I have a baby? What am I doing wrong? Am I not good enough? The doubt starts to kick in. I often wonder why it has taken so long. 😕

@katjasandelin

Ай бұрын

@@user-qf9pv3op7j I know what you mean, you kind of "give up" on it ever happening. But I think to some degree it is also good, not per say to lose hope, but to find some sort of acceptance in that it actually might not happen, and start finding other things to spend the time and energy on that is upbuilding. And then, if one day God sees the timing is right and it happens, its a great surprise. So hard when your cousin and sister got pregnant. I understan the questions that comes to mind, I also have had the thought of "maybe im not a good enough mother to the child I have and cant be blessed with another child because I wouldnt handle it good" or something; but I think its important when a thought like that comes up to bring it to God and remind ourselves abut that He is good. I think that if we are surrendered to Him and given it into His hands, then the only reason He would withould a blessing of a baby is if that would actually come together for the better and we - when we get to know all the ins and outs of why some things happened and some things didnt here in life - would one day agree to that too. So that gives me peace in it. It is not some sort of "your not good enough"-thing, I would think its either somethibg physical that is not right (like PCOS, or nutrition deficiency etc), or that God us supernaturally "blocking it" for a good reason that we will understand one day. And that can mean that it actually is that we have enough faith to hold onto Him DESPITE not getting a baby/what we pray for, so oposite to how we might feel/think, that it might be because we "dont have enought faith" or something, it can actually be because we have enough faith to wait for Gods perfect timing... if that makes sense :P So we just keep holding onto Him and rest in that He wants what is best for us, and sees our hearts desire and takes that into consideration too, and works it all out for good. Who knows, maybe God is saving us great despair... maybe we live so much in the end time that it would be very hard to have a baby in the years to come. Like the bible says, 'woe to those who are with child or give sucks in those days". Have you done anything special to try to get pregnant? Like fasting, or taken bloddworks to see if the hormones are okey?

Thanks for sharing your hopes and prayers. We had to try also for a longer time. Our first is now 4 years old and we are freshly pregnant. I found it sometimes not easy to actively let go of the strong wish for another child and trust God's plan and the result of it. Beautiful to see you both so strong in your trust in God and in your relationship. There is always hope, especially because you already have a beautiful child. I pray for you.

I am in retrospect really amazed. But back in the days with all that desire and hope and all the negative test results it is nevertheless in some aspects painful. I wish you both, that you can feel god's close companionship often through that time and all the best!

Hi Katja, as you know, I work in the hormone health/fertility space, please remember that post partum actually takes 7 years. So while it’s possible to get pregnant in those seven years, it’s not actually ideal physically and mentally for the mother. God may be protecting you. Also if your period is delayed 2 weeks that’s usually a sign of missed ovulation for that month , this can come with unusual symptoms but because there was no ovulation, pregnancy can not occur. I have made a conscious decision to wait the full 7 years between my kids as I know it’s what’s best for my body ❤ don’t know if that helped but I thought I’d share.

Hi Talida, so nice to hear from you. Im thankful for your input, I actually had no idea that it takes 7 years for the body to recover :o What is it that takes that long time? It might be that God is protecting me (or maybe the future child), since I have had so much issue with my health, my body/mind might just not have been ready yet to be able to take care of a second child in the best way. I know that He knows best, and Im glad that He knows me better than I know myself because he can look into the future :) it was just hard this time because i truly thought we were pregnant, and that it was Gods timing now, but I was clearly wrong hehe. Now i have learned (hopefully) again to let it go and I have set my mind to that it will probably take a long time, if it is even Gods will for us to have a second child (which I do hope though :P). So interesting that you are choosing to wait until it has been 7 years - I love that you choose to do whats best for your body and have that integrity to not just follow the crowd - Im very glad you shared that, because it somehow is nice to know that ´can also be an option´so to say, to chose to do it that way and not have the children so tight. Somehow I have been a bit stuck to the norm of that the children should be close in age to be able to play with eachother. How are you thinking around that? :) and something I have considered is if I would be getting a bit ´too comfortable´ as my son grows older and I get older to get back to changing diapers and re-start everything. Would love to hear your thoughts on that

So interesting, I have just never heard that before. In a way it makes sense to have time for each child to tuide them and teach them. And ofc if looking back to how old humans got before the flood for example it would make sense to not have a child more often than every 7th year hehe :p now i guess we kind of feel that ’we dont have time’ to do it like that, and most people might not even see it/think about it as an optiom because we are so shaped by ’what everyone else does’ and think thats how it has to bee 😮. I can def see great benefits from having a 7 year gap between the children. Who knows, maybe its a blessing in disguise that we have not been able to have a second child yet 😅 What is it that takes 7 years to recover bodily? The hormones? The uterus? Would like to learn some more about it :)

You are free to make a suggestion ofc, but I will not follow up on it though - me and my husband actually already left the adventist church some years ago, but after a spiritual journey in different churches we got so tired of not knowing what was true (so many contradicting teachings etc, it all cant be true at the same time) and decided to just "set everything we had learned" aside, and just seek God for His truth in the bible! We earnetly prayed for God to reveal His ways for us and His will, it was an amazing and humbling period! And God revealed more and more understanding to us, and eventually, long story short, it ended up with us coming back to the adventist church eventually as we saw that they were he ones teaching what we ourselves had seen and understood in the bible. :)

My dears...God works miracles every day. He is in the business of miracles! When it is the right time for you, he will bring that child to you! In the meantime...just enjoy one another.
