| | Re: | | Dear Saints,
Again, I thank you for your prayers. My wife is doing all the things she usually does and getting along fine. However, we are no further along with the cysts, nor knowing the next step to take. Apparently, the doctor phoned yesterday and said that the blood test showed no signs of cancer (thank, God). Mira still has to go into the doctor and get a vaccination for any possible pregnancy.
None of this answers the questions as to why she has horrible pain during menstration and other bodily concerns such as continuous urination and bowl movements, even with the slightest amount of food intake. Last night and early this morning, she has been suffering from dry heaving. Another thing that she has noticed, which I am afraid to admit is that she is experiencing hair loss.
There is a chance that none of these things are related and that we will find a cure for everything, but the truth is that the symptoms, along with her teaching job (which I am trying to get her to quit or cut back from), her 'obsession' to also be a 'homemaker' and have everything 'perfectly' clean and tidy before starting her day, and the uncertainty that she feels at somewhat fault for not having a baby has added to her burden. I do help, really, but I feel that all of this is making whatever 'it is' much worse by the stress.
Like I mentioned, it becomes strenuous and trying on our relationship.
So, my prayer is not necessarily for 'healing', although I would not resist God's healing hand, but rather for more faith, hope, and definately for more LOVE.

Not opposed...more like, together with.
OCPs also help with regulating her cycle which ovarian cysts may disturb. I'm not sure if her cycles are regular or not.
If it's ok, you could pm me. I would be glad to answer any questions you feel may not be appropriate for a public forum.

| | Re: | | Paul,
I had to smile when I read this:
Quote:
My dear wife is nearly traumatized as it is, and has vowed this child will be our first and last
Why? I am - or was - a very small woman, less then five feet tall and weighed less then 100 pounds when I started having babies. And I got BIG. And I hurt and vomited - a lot. Delivery was terrible. And I, too, thought it will be a lllooonnnggg time before I would ever want to go through anything like that again.
Well, would you know, after our son was three months old and no longer a newborn, I told my husband I want another baby! and soon! With this he was sure this female had lost her senses! But I went on and in time birthed a total of five children over the span of 12 1/2 years. Yes, you'll survive.
Is it not interesting what the Scriptures tell us about a woman in travail? Makes for some insightful reading, IMO.
Blessings to you and may God give you the desires of your heart,
ginnyrose

Thank you so much, sister. You're right about the insighful Bible reading. I think my wife has used this experience to draw closer to the Lord, and realize, yes, sometimes the son or daughther of God must suffer like everyone else in the world. We get sick, we hurt, we die, but through it all the Lord is with us.
We're having a son! We weren't supposed to know the sex - we wanted God to surprise us - but last week during the ultrasound we saw something that dashed all our hopes for a surprise. I think Marissa is going to recant her oath, personally. The Lord's will be done.

There is so much truth in what you say (and experience). Over the past couple of days my wife has been feeling a little better, but I have been having migraines to the point of vomiting. Our experiences have drawn us closer to God and in our relationship with one another.

| | Re: | | My wife and I went to the doctor yesterday so that she could get a rubella-German measles shot and to check the cysts on her ovarys.
The cysts have not reduced in size, so the doctor said for us to wait another month to measure them again.
My wife still suffers from pain, but we are still praying for an answer. |

| | Re: | | Brian,
My heart goes out to you and your wife. It is so normal for a female to want to experience the pregnancy/birthing process. She just feels like she has been a tad bit robbed of her womanhood if she does not have this experience. This, of course, is not true, but our God-given instinct makes one feel this way.
May I be so bold as to suggest that if God is saying 'no' to this part of life to you now, that you will simply surrender this to HIM and ask him what he wants you to do instead? A person can become so absorbed with this desire that you can become oblivious to the needs around you, like perhaps provide a home to another needy child...
Blessings to you, brother, and your wife...

We have another question or possible issue. I went to hug my wife two days ago (not that that was the only time I hugged her...) and she let out a cry. Without giving too much 'detail', her left upper chest hurt and has continued to for the past two days. I strongly suggested that she visit the doctor... but today she said it was ok.
Is this normal after a rubella shot or ...something else?
