Someone in my family is having trouble conceiving.
First, she has PCOS.
Next, they found a lot of uterine polyps, which have been removed.
They are first going to try 4 cycles of hormone injections to stimulate egg production.
If that doesn't work, docs will try IVF.
She foolishly took 3 Covid shots so far, starting Sept 2021. She will likely take as many boosters as the "authorities" tell her. I tried to warn before she did this, but she believes I don't know what I am talking about. She read some false medical literature that claims the mRNA spike proteins are harmless.
Potential parents are feeling very hopeful now, on the first cycle of injections.
NEXT: Her mother developed schizophrenia/bipolar after the birth of the second child. She died a suicide 9 years later.
Potential mother has a low stress tolerance and had to take leave from work due to mental health issues.
I don't know if she is currently on psych meds, but she has been on them in the past. She is emotionally volatile.
If she succeeds in conceiving and giving birth, I am worried about her potential mental health issues. This is something that happens to some women postpartum, and she has two risk factors. I feel she should have had some professional counseling regarding these issues before trying to conceive.
If she is unable to have a child after undergoing the fertility treatment ordeals, she is likely to experience depression.
It is not a good situation. I believe God hears and answers all prayers, although he doesn't always answer in the way we might wish.
I will pray for her, of course, but I have to be careful to keep my lip zipped in order to avoid scaring her. No one in her circle is going to be reading this post.
If anyone feels inclined to pray for this young woman's health and her quest for a healthy baby, it would be much appreciated.
Yes, I agree with you. My mother had Narcissistic Personality Disorder and my father was her co-dependent victim. She then purposely had 7 children whom she emotionally abused and neglected. Needless to say, all 7 of us have had various types of problems. One sibling became schizophrenic and died a suicide. My mother heard him say he wanted to kill himself, but she didn't bother to pick up the phone and call his care home to ask for a suicide watch. She said it was my Dad's fault. He was in early Alzheimer's at that time. I'm surprised she revealed this information. I guess she didn't know how bad it sounded.
My parents were both church people, but they didn't bother to teach any of us about Christ. I think they just didn't know. Later in life, Christ came seeking me and saved me.
I fear for this young woman's potential mental deterioration. She doesn't know that child bearing and child care are hard work. She couldn't handle the stress of being a teacher and got paid mental health leave. Doctors were not sure if she had depression or bipolar. She is in a better, lower stress job now.
The baby situation is in the Lord's hands now.
