In recognition of National Infertility Awareness Week (April 24-May 1st) Confuzzled p..s.....mods I hope the is in the appropriate forum....thnks!

Hello and welcome to the site.

Hello and welcome.

That IS a great book!!!! I had the opportunity to attend some training with my DH and this book was apart of that training. I have been blessed with a warning signal and if it goes off on someone I absolutely do not trust them. It has never been wrong. Is it intuition or is the Holy Ghost .... couldn't tell ya but I listen either way!!

Age isn't the reason why I don't feel that I fit it. Being the only woman w/out children is just one reason why I don't fit in. I can't name all the reasons I just don't fit in and in all honesty I'm ok w/ that. Being the odd one out is okay w/ me but its so much more then that. I just honestly cringe at the thought of having to go.:eek:

having a calling any either primary or the nursery isn't the best place for me to be right now

I have been inactive for over 4 years. I am in the process of getting active again simply because I know it is what I am supposed to do. One huge hang up I have is at this point I have absolutely no desire to go to Relief Society. None! I have gone and I don't feel that I belong. I feel like an outsider looking in. I don't know the majority of the women and to be honest I don't have a desire to know them. I know I know that sounds horrible, but its the truth. I even had to request to take my name off of VT because my lady's wouldn't compy to my simple wishes. (my dh and I do not have 9-5 jobs) So, any suggestions???

Hello and welcome!!

Stop being alone together. Go on group dates do things w/ other couples. IF he wants it to go farther then maybe (just maybe) he isn't the man you thought he was. Don't give in. The further you go the harder it is to say no!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't put yourself in that situation!

Another good idea is to create a 72hr kit for both of you

Hello and welcome!

Years ago when I was in college something like this came to town. I remember that our LDSSA (we were too small to be an 'institute') leader urged us not to go. I didn't go then and I wouldn't go now. Those that attend if they truly are curious they will seek out individuals who can honestly answer their questions.

hi and welcome to the site

They didn't give you a topic?? Lucky you (not really). I would start with your strength. What are your favorite topics in the gospel to discuss? Only do one that way you don't bounce from topic to topic. Now how much time you have...don't go over but also if you have been given 20min....don't give a 5 minute talk. Don't forget to B-R-E-A-T-H!!! It helps w/ nervousness and also not to ramble. Not much help.....but hopefully a start. Good Luck!!!

Ditto!!! But when I volunteered at college in the baptistry I never heard any of the workers telling the YW that:confused: And....on the other note there are other products besides tampons and pads like the Diva Cup and Instead (and they are better for the environment as well).

......... Moro. 7: 5, 17 5 For I remember the word of God which saith by their works ye shall know them; for if their works be good, then they are good also.

In my M.D's office anyone over the age of 35 is considered high risk. They are offered to see a perinatologist and genetic testing. However there are numerous factors that could make any one a "high risk" pregnancy age is not the only factor.

I forked out the cash for a pair and in MHO they have truly been worth the money. I didn't get them to help me get in shape...I go to the gym for that. I did spend the money on them because they were supposed to help your lower back. I am on my feet a good portion of the day and I don't feel the back fatigue like I used to. I love them and I plain on buying another pair because my feet and back are worth the extra $$$.

Is it hard to be single when so much of the gospel is centered around marriage/family? It is!!!!! Even though I am not in your situation I have an extreme difficult time because dh and I can't have children. I find myself asking the very same questions and I don't have the answers. Why are some blessed when others are not? Only our Heavenly Father and His Son know the exact reason. It is in times like these when we have to put our faith and trust in Him. Is it easy? NO!!! But I do know that it is right. (((hugs))) P.S. dh=dear husband

I would have to disagree on some measure....as there have been numerous birthcontrol babies. As one who suffers from infertility I was never on the pill.

Actually...................birth control and abortion are very different. "The "Pill" prevents pregnancy in three ways, 1- they prevent ovulation (aka the woman doesn't release an egg)...2-the cervix thickens with mucus making it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus to swim up and fertilize the egg and 3- It changes the uterine lining so if an egg does happen to become fertilized, it will have difficulty implanting on the uterine wall and will likely pass with the woman's next period." Abortion happens after fertilization. It is my understanding that the church leaves birth control and its use or lack of use up to the couple.
