At the end of my rope… fertility wise

June 15, 2012 by Teresa Rice

The past few days I have been trying to deal with some pain, pretty bad pain. Last October I had surgery for my endometriosis and well, I guess I thought that I wouldn’t have to deal with problems for a while but I guess…. I don’t know…. it looks like I may have a problem with one or more ovarian cysts. I thought I had another infection but that wasn’t it. That would have been easy to fix. I am supposed to get an ultrasound this week to find out what exactly the problem is. To be honest I am a wee bit depressed since this occurred out of the blue. Plus, my doctor was away so I had to see one of his partners. The fill-in was really nice but I really like my physician so I was disappointed when I heard that he was away on vacation. Maybe I am depressed because the doctor gave a suggestion on how to suppress the endometriosis but I am conflicted as to whether or not I should take him up on it. Maybe it’s because I have been dealing with this dreadfully painful disease for 15 or 16 years. Even though I am a bit depressed I am trying to look to God for guidance along with His grandmother St. Anne. St. Anne is a Patroness of Mothers, against Sterility, for Conception Difficulties, Infertility, help of the Pregnant, Women in Labour, and Grandparents.

Here are a couple of prayers that I am going to start praying daily:

Good Saint Anne, you were especially favored by God to be the mother of the most holy Virgin Mary, the Mother of our Savior. By your power with your most pure daughter and with her divine Son, kindly obtain for us the grace and the favor we now seek. Please secure for us also forgiveness of our past sins, the strength to perform faithfully our daily duties and the help we need to persevere in the love of Jesus and Mary. Amen.

GLORIOUS SAINT ANNE,
Filled with compassion for those who invoke you and with love for those who suffer,
heavily laden with the weight of my troubles, I cast myself at your feet and humbly beg you
to take the present affair which I commend to you under your special protection.

(Mention the request.)

Deign to commend it to your daughter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and lay it before
the throne of Jesus, so that He may bring it to a happy issue.

Cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted.

Above all, obtain for me the grace of one day beholding my God face to face, and with you and Mary
and all the saints, praising and blessing Him for all eternity.

Pray for us, St. Anne. that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let Us Pray

O Almighty and eternal God, who chose St. Anne to bring into the world the Mother of Your only Son,
mercifully grant to us, we beseech You, who devoutly honor her memory, grace to obtain through her merits,
the blessings of eternal life. Who lives and reigns the world without end.

Amen.

Good St. Anne, mother of her who is our life, our sweetness and our hope,
Pray for me. Amen.

Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory Be..

I had ovarian cysts it was like 20 on one ovary and 18 on the other. Will email you sometime this weekend. You know you are my Girl, hang in there. God Bless, SR

  The 20 cysts on one ovary and 18 on the other must have been extremely painful for you, SR. I’m sorry that you had to experience such pain. I have been feeling a little bit better today. Probably due to my less activity and not working. But hopefully the pain continues to decline. I’m not sure how many cysts I have but the doc is worried that one or more may have gotten bigger. Unfortunately this is what I get for trying to conceive with a little help from clomid. Have a great weekend! God Bless.

  That was me below. Used my twitter account instead of WordPress. Forgot to say that I’ve actually been off of clomid for a few months, and was only on it a few months. My mother always tells me not to mess with hormones. But I figure if my hormones need some help why not take something to help me achieve pregnancy. God Bless.

I had lots of hemmorhaging and ovarian cysts, but never what your dealing with. I got talked into a hysterectomy and left sided oophorectomy in 1993. I was only 39. I wish I had known that myomectomy was another, alternative that saved the uterus. That surgery started all my abdominal organs to mess up, after that. I prayed those prayers to St Anne, for you. I hope you feel the strength from God’s Graces. Hang in there.

  I can’t say that I’ve had to deal with hemmorhaging so I have no idea what that is like. That must have been very scary for you. I haven’t heard of a myomectomy. I am 35 with no kids and my doctor has already talked to me about having a hysterectomy. But we are putting it off as long as we can. My husband and I (and even my doctor) are really hoping that I achieve pregnancy before the time hits when I need a hysterectomy. God Bless.

Teresa, I join you in prayer. I believe with you that God will grant you divine healing. He said in His word, “If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it” (John 14:14).

God always seems to make a way when there seems to be no way. “18 While He spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.” 19Immediately Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His disciples.

20 And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. 21 For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” 22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her, He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour” (Matthew 9:18-22).
