Thank you everyone for the responses. They are helpful and I will definitely try some of the suggestions. That's not really an option right now. For a number of reasons. Also, one of the things about how I don't necessarily know if I'm Catholic anymore. By that I simply meant that we're all...

Hello to everyone. Some of you might remember me (it has been quite a long time since I've posted here). So, I'm not sure I'm Catholic anymore. I suppose based on the things that have happened to me over the last couple years, I am quite certain of two thing: 1) I am fully and finally able to...

Will do. :)

I mean, I do have to plan the wedding, so the 6 months might not be THAT big of an issue! Haha.

No, it is not going to get better. I am not going to be whole at the end of this. This situation only ends with me being barren. If the current course of treatment works, I'll have 3-5 years to have any children I will ever have (let's hope I don't have any fertility problems!). I am not about...

No. If the current course of treatment works, then it will buy me some time, that's all. I should have 3-5 years, if that's the Lord blesses me with. At the end of the time I'll have to have the hysterectomy and hopefully then I will be just fine. :)

I understand all of your concerns and not rushing into something and being properly ready for it. I appreciate the cautions. But.... If I have to wait too long and it cuts too much into my time, then I will simply get married outside of the church and have the church recognize the marriage...

Oh good. I thought there was some type of requirement! That makes me feel better. I want it waived because of medical circumstances. My child-bearing abilities, if they can be saved, will only be available for 3-5 years. Ideally, I want to get married in the church and have my children only...

Hey guys. I've heard that marriage counseling/therapy with the church takes a minimum of 6 months, or that you have to wait that long prior to the ceremony. Is this, like, mandatory or can it be waived under certain circumstances or something?

Thank you for the supportive words, everyone. I really do appreciate the prayers immensely. Yes, and something about being told that you may not be able to create life at all makes you want it just that much more! I did! Well, not a "cure" exactly. I went to a specialty center in Chicago...

Hi everyone! Some of you may remember me (though things around here have changed quite dramatically since I was previously around!). I actually return with some rather unfortunate news. I was recently diagnosed with endometrial cancer. Of course, I would appreciate all of your prayers and...

But...but...it is possible! So, I'm gathering that everyone is pretty chill about drinking during the first few weeks of being pregnant.

Yeah, I'll just take your word for it because I can guarantee there's no way to tell if I am. ;)

Hm... Interesting. I suppose some women might know when they're fertile or not. And I'm interested in the drinking while pregnant thing. Hm...

Thanks for the responses. I appreciate it. :)
