We can empathize with Rachel, especially those among us who have known this heartache. If Rachel had rested in Jacob’s love, and waited patiently for the Lord to open her womb, we would have applauded her as a role model in a very difficult situation. But, as a flawed human being, she became jealous of her sister. The beautiful woman, deeply loved by her husband was not enough; she wanted what her sister had.

Did she turn to God and ask for His mercy, no. Rachel demanded of her husband, “Give me children or I’ll die!” (Genesis 30:1). Does this drama-queen demand sound familiar? Jacob lost his temper as Rachel demanded something that was beyond his control. “Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?” (Genesis 30:2).

Rachel was a desperate woman who was determined to take matters into her own hands. She pushed her maidservant, Bilhah, into the arms of her husband to give him a son. Canaanite customs allowed such a solution … but Rachel was not a Canaanite! How easily we adapt to the ways of the world when we focus our attention on what we want. It is hard to say no when we see others getting what they want, by whatever means.

When she finally gave up trying, “God remembered Rachel…” (Genesis 30:22). God had not forgotten her. When Rachel finally came to the end of herself, then “… God listened to her and opened her womb.

God is still listening today. He is waiting for us to come to Him with our requests, to humble ourselves admitting our need of Him. He will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). There are many things in the world that are vying for a piece of our heart, but God wants our whole heart, soul and body.'
I love this write up, is directly reffering to me

PREPEC: I have seen gynae. Being on drugs for the past 2 years just for me to have my period every month but that is not working well. When I stopped in October 2012 because I was really tired of taking the drugs and injections my period has not come.

Are you Irreg Periods caused by hormone imbalance? what drugs and injections were you taking? Have you gone to another dr for second opinion.

I would also recommend you read about FERTILEAID. It helped me when my periods were irregular.

santagelo25...hapi bday nd hv a 1daful celebratn in jesus name.
@all....hw una dey nd dh?

@santagelo
Happy birthday my brother, your heart desire will never be cut short!

@mummyf
Temp alone cannot correctly dictate O, its always gud to combine it with other method to be very sure. Is this ur first clomid cycle? Do you normally have long cycle or usually kick start ur cycle? Am not fan of kick starting cycle if l know it will still come without that procedure. I will advice give it more one wk, we need patience in this journey. All d best dear!

Happy bday to u santagelo. By ur nxt bday u ll be celebrating with u quadruplets o cos all those fertility drugs wey u dey load for ur dw go start to dey work sharperly sharperly for it is written "when the Lord turn again the cAptivity of zion, they ll be like them that dream". So bros chill n ave fun to d fullest .

@Santagelo hapi bday sir,llnp.wish u total happinesz in life,dis tym next yr u ll celebrate wit ur twinz Insha Allah..
@Muma tkz so much,i will be waitn..jst dat lemon is so scares here,tinkin of usin lime.can i?

Baby dust 2 us!

@udoka,mamatwins ,thank u for answering.its my 2nd clomid cycle but 1st with metformin.my period is usually btw 28-30 days max and its regular.I have been temping for a while so when I didn't get that spike I just knew something was wrong. But I trust God, HE brings water from rocks so I know HE will do the best for me.thanks

@all, so good to be busy doing God's work, today is global outreach day, tell someone about our Saviour. He came to set the captives free, we are free from barreness. Halleluia, Amen.

@Santagelo, happy birthday. This time next year, we agree that you will celebrate with your children, amen. Stay blessed Baba Ibeji.

@Mummyf, just be patience as you have been advised, but since u said you don't have pcos, me think clomid and metformin is a very strong combo for you oo.

@Adedoyinsola, pls don't stop praying cos of depression, or cos u think God is not hearing, but if you think praying for the same think over d years is tiring, then trying praising in advance, do praising with all sense of it, I know Lord you have done it, call Him lovely names. If you feel He doesn't answer your prayers, I pray He open your eyes to see so many battles He won for you without letting u know.

One of d ladies we grew up together in the same church died through child birth recently, if God had closed her womb for four years before gving her kids, am sure she would have even cursed God for allowing barreness in her life, but now she is gone. Maybe someone is here too that you are supposed to have been long forgotten,but God kept u thru barreness as we call it, u are delaying not cos God hate, not cos God doesn't hear prayers, but cos He is preserving your life and becos He will make you to overtake the enemies plan. This period will pass and we will praise Him the more.

@MamaT, God's mercy will speak for all of us. I pray whatever is happening to you will have a good ending and testimonies following. Amen.

Mummyf temps can be deceptive atimes i wish i could take a look at ur chart, i was checking out charts today on FF come and see funny/ugly looking charts turning into bfp charts, fx just hold on.
@ baba Santagelo25 happy birthday God'll give you a birthday gift soon.
@ all I've been worried, two nights ago i dreamt my former neighbour who already has a two yrs old girl put to bed, then last night i dreamt i was pregnant but did not even know until some one told me was 10wks pregnant when i looked down on my tummy i saw it was so big like 7 months.
I don't like having such dreams i always feel there is something fishy maybe evil about them, av prayed though i know God will take control

Common madam Pink22, ur time don reach be that now, me am happy for you ooo, I read sometimes ago that always dreaming of being or others pregnant means you are or will soon be pregnant.

So, am croosing my fingers and toes for you, while thanking God He has done it for you.
