My testimony. Got married in Aug 2013, but never got to see positive Urine pregnancy test. NEVER! I won't say I was greatly disappointed as I was also waiting for few things between me and husband to settle down slowly and it took a while.
Once things became alright everyone started expecting and wherever we went we got plenty of advices and tips, which only made us feel bad. We were hesitant to take Sunday's classes due to the initial issues with in us, but somehow for the past one year we have been teaching little children every Sunday. In the meantime tried multiple doctors (not big treatments), but with some repetitive scans and tests, with no issues reported. Later during these last scans this year beginning said I had little harmless cysts and they would take time to resolve and the doctor would stop even the few tablets I had for 5 days at the start of my cycle. I would have to be honest here. My cycle - can vary from 26 days to 60 days too. You can hardly guess what my fertile days are, including doctors. And there were many times when I had trouble with egg rupturing, but would just grow and the doctor would again say she has to skip that particular cycle or two to start all over again from the scratch. And you can easily guess how my mood was all through every pelvic scan. And most of you would remember the time I went for tube test, sincerely speaking, because of all your prayers I got enough strength to undergo the test and yes it was painful but I expected the worst when I went, and it didn't seem so worse as I thought before the test.
Then my doctor said she would start with IUI (artificial insemination) process from the next cycle as there were no blocks detected in the tube test. Well, As always, I asked few more months to avoid IUI, but my husband was very rigid that we would start IUI as per the doctor's suggestion. Though I didn't like his idea, I also didn't like my idea of prolonging the wait as I did for more than 3.5 years. So I was very relaxed after the tube test as anyways we were going to face all the harsh treatments.
I had extended stays at work both on the weekdays and also on weekends supporting my team through their weekend support and that includes night support as well. (I am a TL with 30+ members in my team), who is always early to work and late to bed. I hardly remember the days we were together. HARDLY means real HARDLY. We even went for long drives assuming we would have to stay home once the treatment starts. Triples at times! Lot of jerks and bumps crossed!
On June 26th we went for scripture union campsite with the fellow Sundays school teachers for a retreat program, and I went there along with my heavy laptop bag as usual to assist my team during their holiday support. I got to work when the church friends had games to play. After returning Home after a long tiring day, I realised it was more than 50 days and I was not too much surprised with it as my cycle, as told earlier, can go up to 60+ days as well. But then I thought of doing Urine pregnancy test just for formality. I am sure I have done only close to 10 UPT all through the past 3.5 years. I have never seen two pink lines which many weds long to see. This time unusually I saw two pink lines for the very first time in my kit. I could hardly realise how I could take that test result.
Though I have forwarded you all my friend's testimony and the long list of pregnancy promises I never told them at least once. I know many are praying for me, but I was not serious to pray about a baby. I showed my UPT kit to my husband and we were not able to believe that we were expecting. We thought of getting it confirmed with the doctor the next day.
Since my doctor was busy on that day with emergency deliveries, we had to wait. I underwent some pelvic scan again (sheesh) and I was laying down there thinking what the technician would tell me after seeing the result. I have to be honest that I expected her to yell at me "Hey you said you had a positive result, but there is nothing in here." But I heard her saying, "Can you see here?" I was so scared to see what she was about to show me, then, she showed me the baby's heartbeat, only by that time I could believe that I was pregnant for the very first time in my life. A wait close to 4 years! (my 4th wedding anniversary is on August 22 and I didn't want to celebrate it without the bundle of joy we usually expect every passing month) with that heartbeat readings I was waiting for the doctor to return. Once they called out my name, the attender asked me to stand on the weighing machine, the doctor said, "no maa she is not pregnant, she has come here for the regular checkup" assuming I have gone there for IUI preparation.
When the attender handed her the reading my doctor could not react for a while until she said, "this is excellent!"
She even confirmed with me saying, "this is a Normal pregnancy la maa, with no treatment this month" and I said "Yes" to her, but deep inside my heart, I was crying out, that this is not a Normal pregnancy as the medical world would say, but 100% miraculous pregnancy which only our God made it possible.
He is the one who calls out everything out of nothing. I even fell into temptation one Saturday, and so I can't claim
Even a single credit for why He has blessed us. He has blessed us because of who He is! And not because of who we are! I thought of telling you all once 3 months are complete, but can't resist sharing it now.
My prayer buddies prayed for me. Thanks a lot guys for all your prayers! They mean a lot to me. Even now many people give advices not to work so much, don't do this and that. But deep inside my heart I have this newly begun faith that my Lord would never raise my hope and let it sink. Pls keep us and this little one I carry. I am on my 65th day today.
The doctor has suggested that the due date would be post Feb 12th. It was such a good month for us, because in 2002 on Feb 22nd my in-laws lost their daughter when she was 22. I truly believe God is restoring the loss and is conveying us that He has not forgotten us. The month which was so far so bitter for us, is going to the month of miracle. I thank Him for making me write a testimony. He is a miracle working God. All glory to Him!
Sorry for taking so much of your time making you guys read this lengthy one. :)
