faith and/or religious beliefs been affected by TTC?

Hmmm...I don't think it's changed much. I try to think that there's a reason behind this...but sometimes it makes me mad to think that too. Depends if I'm having a good day or bad day!

I agree that it depends on the day. I've really tried to put every ounce of my faith into the fact that this will happen for us when the time is right, but some days I get really angry about it all. I guess overall, it's strengthened my faith- I pray more than I used to (especially for you ladies) and I've also learned that I have to leave more things up to God's plan for us.

I can honestly say that there for a while I had lost alot of faith in God. I prayed 3-4 even 5 times a day when we were using Clomid and Injectables and even before that, but once all of those cycles failed I kinda lost it. I just didnt get why I could want something so bad and what not, but he just wouldnt give it to me. With that said, I am back to believing that he has a plan and it will happen for us in time!

I feel like I have been through every stage of beleif that our faith with get us through. Some months I questioned that God wanted us to have more than one child or what God was punishing us for, etc. Some months I was kinda in limbo - if it happened it happens. Now I feel like I have more faith, if my body would just cooperate!

I have these reasoning sessions with God all the time about this. LOL!! I am so not winning, BTW! I ask God, "How is it so easy for drug addicts, one night stands, single parents, etc to get pregnant, and here we are ready, hoping, and praying for our LO. We have a stable, loving marriage. We own our own home, etc..." You see where that normally goes.

All in all, I do have faith that God has a plan for us. He knows all of those details, and I just have to have faith that things will be in his perfect plan and timing. Does that make me feel better? Sometimes yes and sometimes no, but God knows my heart, and knows how deep my desire for a child has always been.

Mine has gotten stronger, but only because there were so many painful moments on this journey that I had to really struggle to keep on believing... looking back on our journey, I can actually see when and how God gave me strength to even get to this point - I know that sounds weird but I don't know how else to explain it...
