There's nothing wrong with praying, but I suggest you get a copy of the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. The book will teach you how to chart your ovulation cycles and to predict when you're most likely to conceive. Also, if you eventually do go to a doctor, the data you gather will be helpful in determining whether there is a biological problem. God created science, use it to your advantage.

I know everyone has already given you some great responses but I felt compelled to reply anyway. I was in a similar situation with my third child. I had my first two ( both girls) really quickly without much "trying" involved. I went onto the depo shot after my second daughter was born but after about 2 to 3 years we decided we wanted to try for another. We tried for about a year before we began really discussing the "problem" with my doctor. There didn't really seem to be a reason as to why I was having such a hard time getting pregnant other than the fact that the depo shot that I had been on had a side effect of reduced fertility. He told us that if we weren't pregnant within the next 6 months, it was likely that I was no longer fertile. Well we didn't get pregnant in the next 6 months or the 6 months after that even.There is a 5 year difference between my younger daughter and my son who is 6 now. I guess the moral of my story is that God works in His own time and in His own way. As the Bible says, His ways are not our ways. As hard as it is, just give it to God and let it go. Enjoy the child you have, invest your life and love into your love for the Lord, your husband and your child and if it is in His plans you will have another child and if it is not, you already have a great blessing in your life with the family you have.

Weight can sometimes be an issue BUT if the Lord wants you with child you will be. I am VERY overweight & had no trouble conceiving. Do you know when your body is ovulating?? You can do this by checking your temp at the same time every day. Do yourself up a chart & at the peak is the day your ovulating. At least then if you know you ovulate on exactly day 14 or 15 or whichever every month then you know when to take action. I had a girlfriend who got her period once a year & fell pregnant the two times she's tried. (I don't mean 1st go). Anything is possible if you have God on your side. Just 'Let go & let God'!

I know how you feel. We tryed for almost 6 years to get pregnant for the 2nd time. My son is now 6 and we have a 4 month old. I did go to the doctor about 2 years ago and she gave me 'a super ovulating' pill that didnt work, so we stopped and put it back into Gods hands. We have had 2 miscarrages, one before our son and one is '08. After going thru those i knew God had his reason. It wasnt until we 'gave up' on the idea of trying that I finially became pregnant and it is a perfect age for my son. he loves his sister and would do anything for her. Your time will come when you and your family are truly ready for a new additon. Trust in God and it will all work out. God Bless you and your family!

It could depend on what kind of birth control you were on. Was it the Depo shot? It can take longer for your cycle to come back regularly after being on it. Overexercising can cause challenges as well. The very best thing you can do is just to relax and enjoy being with your husband. Find a hobby or something that will help you keep busy and reduce stress. I know how frustrating it can be, how you feel like your heart will break if you dont get pregnant but God will give you peace if you let him (not to sound preachy). Give it to him, let him have your worries. I think at times I have been afraid to give God the reins because I was afraid what his answer might be but he knows our hearts and he loves us and wants us to be happy, it just might not be in the timing we want it to be. I always say: take a walk, hug your child, smile, and just breathe. Hang in there! :)

You need to meditate on the word of God, find words of encouragement in the Bible. Try to find peace, relax.Stress is really bad for you and the baby your trying to have.Thats the reason why you can actually get sick, if you stress too much. Now im sure you want to be healthy when the baby's growing in you, dont you.When you pray and read the word of God its very important that you believe and you mustn't have even a tiny bit of doubt in you.Sometimes we dont realise that God sees long term or the bigger picture. He knows exactly when the time is right. These are just some of the scriptures you can read to encourage you, try not to rush him. Heb 11:11 Even when Sarah was too old to have children, she had faith that God would do what he had promised, and she had a son.
Heb 11:12 Her husband Abraham was almost dead, but he became the ancestor of many people. In fact, there are as many of them as there are stars in the sky or grains of sand along the beach.
Mar 11:24 Everything you ask for in prayer will be yours, if you only have faith.
2Co 4:8 We often suffer, but we are never crushed. Even when we don't know what to do, we never give up.
Rom 8:28 We know that God is always at work for the good of everyone who loves him. They are the ones God has chosen for his purpose
Rom 5:3 But that's not all! We gladly suffer, because we know that suffering helps us to endure.
Rom 5:4 And endurance builds character, which gives us a hope
Rom 5:5 that will never disappoint us. All of this happens because God has given us the Holy Spirit, who fills our hearts with his love.
Rom 5:6 Christ died for us at a time when we were helpless and sinful.
Rom 5:7 No one is really willing to die for an honest person, though someone might be willing to die for a truly good person.
Rom 5:8 But God showed how much he loved us by having Christ die for us, even though we were sinful.
Have a blessed Day!

there have been occasions of people who have taken birth control, and the birth control actually had side effects that were seroius. before you started taking birth control, did you monthly have a period?

Whatever the case is, you are off the birth control, and open to have another baby now. God is the one who opens and closes the womb, and the best thing you can do is to pray and ask for his will to be done, and share with him your hearts desire. it could really be the birth control that has prolonged your body going about normally, maybe more time is what it will take? have you tried fasting? this would be excellent as a way of showing God how seroius you really are, cleansing and rejuvinating your body, and having perfect peace at this time; in the fullness of the holy spirit.



love danielle

Missing periods isn't really a good thing... you might want to see your OB-GYN, just to make sure everything is OK.

Thank you guys so much.Your words have encouraged me.Thank you for your prayers.

Getting pregnant is kind of a fickle thing. If you WANT to, it seems like it takes forever. If you DON'T want to, it happens poof! immediately.

Make sure your weight is right, if you are exercising too much, or if your weight is down to skin and bones, your period will be whacky. Have you two prayed together over this? If you have, then trust the Lord, honey. When we 'try' so hard to get pregnant it usually doesn't happen. If you just relax and have fun, it seems to happen.

God knows our desires, honey. Trust Him, thank Him for what you already have, and let Him work out the rest.

You said you were exercising, if your weight is down it can affect your ability to become pregnant, estrogen is produced in the fat cells in your body. this site has a list of herbs that may help http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/herbs....

You can search for help on the internet look for places that have information that matches your own symptoms.
