Hello I am new here and I am not sure if I want to stir up anything or not. But I would like to share my dh's story.

Around 7 years ago, my dh had his sperm tested. His sperm quanity was low and they had very low mobility. A specialist told him his chances for a child of his own were slim to none with the none being the most likely. At this point in his life he was a non-christian living with his girlfriend of 6 years. This eventually led to their breakup.

2 years later Dh and I had been dating for a year, & we had decided to be married even though he was very upset about not being able to give me more children he knew I wanted. I at this point was a Christian but not a very good one, my previous marriage and divorce had cause me to doubt my relationship with God. I did have 2 young daughters from that previous marriage and dh was very excited about helping me raise them.

I stopped my birth control 3 months before we were married. In that 3rd month our 1st month of trying I conceived. I know you are all good Christian women, I hope you will not hold the things I did at that point in my life against me, I was not where I am now. My point of all this is miracles can happen and do. Nothing is out of God's power and when we truelly believe that amazing things will happen. I truelly believe God is a Loving Father who only wants what is best, and for his children to be happy, heathly and wise.

Our story continues. That miracle led to my dh's conversion and my rededication. That didn't happen in one day. I always knew God really wanted his best for me, and my prayers for that child with total confidence in God but complete doubt in myself. I don't know if you are familiar with football but I was just throwing up a HAil Mary Pass. I have sense realized that my receiving that and our next child were not my prayers but God's desire to show me how magnificant he was. And how nothing is impossible for him. My dh did not become a christian right away in fact it was after our 2nd miracle baby. Which we weren't even trying for. Dh is a thinker and it was after many different things that finally led to his conversion.

I have not doubted God's power since not even during our miscarriage last fall. I know that he is in charge. And has only his best prepared for me. I quite oftend doubt whether I deserve it or not.

We are TTC agian. With dh's low counts, and my not ovulating like I used to we see our chances physically slimming. But I still do not doubt God's love. I know that if I do not receive the future children I so want that God has something even more amazing and wonderful planned. I know how badly I want additional children and I have some, and I can't imagine the desire when you do not have any. I do know how much Dh desired them though and the disappointment he felt when he truelly believe he would not have any of his own. I also know the love he has for my daughters and how great of a father he has been to them.

I don't know if Artificial Insemination is Biblical or not, I do know miracles happen for God's Glory and when we wait on him for those miracles they are amazing!
