I was in a near death experience before I got married. I was diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy last 2007. On my last consultation with my OB-GYNE, he said, “You have a 30% chance of getting pregnant and I suggested you undergo a “dye test” to check if the right fallopian tube can still make way for the sperm.” Due to financial problems, I did not take the test.
I had my first transvaginal ultrasound last 2010, the result was, I had polycystic ovaries and the doctor said that she saw a liquid in my right fallopian tube known as hydrosalphinx. This blocks the sperm to enter the egg cell in my ovary. Again, she recommended the “dye test” and I hesitated. For years, I’ve been so depressed knowing that I can’t conceive. I’m on 30 years of my life now and I’m pressured. I did not tell my husband and my parents that I have less chances of conceiving or yet, no chance.
I had my second ultrasound last year. I felt devastated when I learned that the result was ovarian cyst. The doctor then said, “You have little chance of getting pregnant.” I cried to myself, not letting my husband and my parents know.
I’ve been reading The Secret for years but I never took it seriously. My co-worker then advised me to use it in everything after telling her that we have financial problems. I’ve been trying to schedule another ultrasound after four months, but the schedule kept on being cancelled due to my hectic work schedule.
For months I’ve been praying that the Lord will heal my reproductive system. I kept telling myself that I have a healthy reproductive system and that I will conceive a healthy baby.
The doctor has been telling me to do a follow up ultrasound to check if the cyst has grown. Fear came to me. I didn’t want to hear any bad news. Two weeks after, I went to the company clinic to schedule another appointment for the ultrasound. This time I felt calm and good. I felt so light that I did not have the thoughts of any bad news coming my way.
Everything was ready when I entered the ultrasound room. The doctor then inserted an apparatus inside my vagina to check the possibilities of the growing cyst. Since I don’t know how to read the image on the screen, I asked the doctor if the cyst has grown. To my surprise, the doctor said, “No I don’t see anything but have you taken any medication?” I answered, “No.” She wondered how the cyst disappeared so suddenly without medication. She even wondered more when she said, “I don’t see any hydrosalphinx in your fallopian tube.” My heart leaped with joy when I learned that my reproductive system is clear.
I told the good news to my husband and now, we are ready to start a family. Realization: Prayer is power and happy thoughts come to life.
