Infertility as a Catholic

[@simonweber2015]

God bless you. My wife and I have been suffering with infertility for nearly 3 years and it is really tough but your perspective is really meaningful. Thank you.

Thank you for addressing this. I've had 3 miscarriages. One child was due just days ago on Christmas day, but we ended up burying her months ago because we miscarried. I hope more Catholics speak out about this, it has infiltrated every area of my life and I'm barely hanging on to sanity. I did have an ovarian wedge resection by a Napro doctor, and I got pregnant twice immediately after, but none of my children have lived so far. All you see are images or stories of Catholics having a dozen children with no effort - but in reality, all of my girl friends have had serious infertility issues.

Thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry for your losses💔💞 you are right, many women suffer with infertility & catholic resources are limited. Have you heard of the Fruitful Hollow? It's a new catholic infertility resource. I will definitely talk about it on my channel soon so that more women can be supported. God bless you 🙏

This video and your message is everything I didn’t know I needed to hear during this season of my life. Thank you! Prayers to you as well! 💖

Thank you for talking about this topic.

[@EverydayCatholic]

You're welcome. It is not fun to talk about but I know it's necessary! Thanks as always for your support!

Thank you for sharing this topic, you are so correct Children are a gift but carrying a cross although difficult as it May be is also a gift of uniting us closer to Christ. I pray you will conceive soon. 🙏🏻St. Gerard Majella pray for us. 🙏🏻

[@EverydayCatholic]

Yes, I have grown so much closer to Christ through this cross! Thank you so much for your prayers... I truly appreciate it🙏🏽 St. Gerard Majella and Mother Mary, pray for us💞

Luke 23-29 For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’

41 no kids and practicing Catholic huge medical challenges from UC, including ostomy, no answers for us in the Church. Flummoxed.

Oh my goodness this was beautiful! I don't think I have ever heard the Catholic perspective on infertility from someone GOING THROUGH IT! You did a beautiful job explaining this. I appreciate all perspectives but always find it frustrating when friends who have many children, or don't want children, or priests (yes even priests) try to give advice. Its so hard to understand unless you have been in the shoes of infertility and desiring a child! Thank you :)

[@EverydayCatholic]

Thank you so much! I definitely know what you mean... and trust me, I was hoping to be one of those people (I was hoping to conceive and then share about this past suffering). It is hard to be so vulnerable but I know when I've felt down, finding someone in the same situation really helped me! So I want to help others too! I just said a prayer for you 🙏🏽 God bless!

Why does the evil church have an opinion on infertility?

[@EverydayCatholic]

Leaning on Christ & accepting His Love truly carried me through my years of infertility. God bless

because if using science to have kids you are bastardizing the marriage covenant.
