  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Good morning,

If you guys would, please pray for me when it comes to my health. I went to my gynecologist the other day to see why I've been so irregular when it comes to my menstrual cycle and right now I'm being tested to see if I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). If I do have it, that could mean that when I start trying to conceive a child, I may have difficulty doing so or may not be able to do so at all.

Right now they're doing a blood test on me and next week I'm getting a pelvic ultrasound. If it comes back that I do, indeed, have PCOS, I'm likely going to start going through the 5 Stages of Grief and I might have a bit of a hard time processing it. While it hasn't been confirmed yet, I have a feeling that the results are going to come back positive that I have PCOS.

I doubt that prayer is going to make my possible diagnosis disappear. If it's there, it's there. If it's not, then it's not. But what I am praying for right now is that God gives me the strength to handle whatever news I may receive in the near future. I know that if it comes back positive, I'll be leaning on God a lot, and even now I'm leaning on God to help me with the emotions that come up surrounding this.

I know that if the tests come back positive, it won't be the end of the world. There are still women with PCOS who have had children, and even if one day it looks like I have difficulty or (God forbid) can't have children, there will still be so much for me to continue to live for and do. My life doesn't have to be dictated by my fertility or lack thereof; it all just depends on what I choose to believe.

In any case, I'll end this post by asking that you guys pray for me; that I may be able to handle whatever news comes my way, and that I may find a treatment that works for me.
