When I became pregnant with my son, Matthew, I found out that I also had 2 very large ovarian cysts (one on each ovary). It was hoped that during the pregnancy the cysts would go down. They did slightly but never went away and eventually cut off circulation to Matthew so that he was born stillborn at 5 months gestation.

One month later I went in to have the cysts removed. I specifically signed papers refusing to allow the doctor to 'remove' anything but the cysts. My ovaries and tubes were to be left no matter how damaged they might be. I was terrified of waking up to a complete hysterectomy. An incision was made hip to hip to remove the large cysts, which at this point were slightly larger than grapefruits. When they went to remove the cysts they discovered that my tubes were twisted and tangled around them (supporting the cysts). They were so entangled that my tubes were removed with the cysts. After remembering that I specifically did not want my tubes removed, my doctor straightened them, and reattached them. When I woke up I was told that my tubes were so damaged that they would probably not be functional, but that he had put them back only because of the papers I had signed refusing to allow them to be removed. I was told that the scar tissue was bad enough I wouldn't be able to conceive.

I went in for my 6 weeks post op appointment and had been feeling pretty sick. My doctor looked completely amazed when he told me I was 4 weeks pregnant! We were told not to get our hopes up, that there was a 99% chance it was ectopic and I should consider having my tubes tied to prevent this from happening again, because if it ruptured it could kill me. We decided to 'wait' and take our chances. A month later an ultrasound was done to determine what steps to take. To everyone's amazement there was my baby ... nicely implanted in the uterus.
Kaleigh is now a beautiful 2 1/2 year old miracle! I truly believe God was with my doctor the day of my surgery. He guided his hands with every stitch, carefully replacing my tubes so that Kaleigh would make it into our lives.

When my son was born, all I could think was "he was worth waiting for". God healed my body and wiped away my tears. He turned my mourning into dancing. As it says in Proverbs, "hope deferred makes the heart sick, but hope fulfilled is a tree of life." God’s Tree of Life is His cross, where we can exchange sickness and despair for healing and hope. Seek God’s face with all your heart and strength. He does fulfil the barren women's dreams; He sets us in our homes as joyful mothers of children. AMEN

Following a prolonged illness, I was having a lot of trouble conceiving. I finally fell pregnant in October 1991 but lost the baby at five weeks. An ultrasound showed that I had a condition called Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome in a severe state and was told by the radiologist that it would be unlikely that I would be able to conceive (even though I just had) and he was unable to explain this pregnancy. Poly cystic ovaries prevent the release of the egg from the ovary. We decided to rely on God’s Word. A friend gave me the Scripture in Exodus 23:26, "No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfil the number of your days".

In March 1992, I became pregnant with twins and despite miscarrying, the doctor couldn't explain how an "infertile woman" had fallen pregnant with twins. I saw another specialist in November 1992 and had a suspected miscarriage shortly afterwards - he said he couldn't do anything for me, except try hormone treatment the next time I became pregnant.

I had another two pregnancies in early 1993, both of which miscarried. Despite all this grief and disappointment, I was encouraged that by now I was falling pregnant very easily. As my husband Richard and I continued to believe and speak out God’s Word in the face of opposing circumstances our faith grew and this prevented discouragement coming to us. I know that whenever I got down or doubted that I had taken my eyes off God and His Word but when I repented and got my eyes back on God’s Word, my confidence would rise again. You must focus on what God has said and not on the circumstances in order to experience the supernatural in your life.

The next pregnancy went extremely well from the start and God blessed us exceedingly abundantly more than we could ask or think with our beautiful daughter Analise. Then eleven months later I became pregnant again with our son Michael. An ultrasound during his pregnancy showed that there was no sign of poly cystic ovaries. The radiologist was adamant that I must have been misdiagnosed originally - but we know that it was the miraculous healing power of God and His faithfulness to His promises in the Bible.

I do have a testimony regarding answered prayer with my cycles. I had always had periods that were longer than usual, lasting for 35 days, with lots of spotting etc.. I didn't really know that this wasn't normal until it was mentioned to me by a Naturopath. At that time i never did anything about it. Then i read your book and you said that a normal period was 28 days. By that time, i also knew that on day 28, you were supposed to start bleeding proper, red blood & not spot (learnt this through IVF). This never happened to me plus, I always put up with severe cramping pains before and during my period. After reading what you said, I felt really challenged to believe for my periods to come into line and behave normally and to be pain-free. I re-read your book, but this time i took notes and began to confess the scriptures you outlined. I am happy to say that within 2 months, my periods did start coming by day 28 & then about 2-3 months after that, ALL pain ceased! Now, i do not even know when my periods are coming because there are no outward signs! But they arrive every month on day 28 and start first thing in the morning. Of course, although this is manifested prayer, i continue to believe that they do NOT come because my pregnancy has manifested! Until then, i am so thankful for being able to walk in this part of my healing and to have living proof of the power of the word at work within me. Thank you once again for all your teaching that continues to bring fresh revelation to us!

I am responding to an email in regards to praying for your cyst to be gone in Jesus Name. I thought I would share with you that last month during a scan they found a 3.5cm cyst on my right ovary that was actually quite painful. They monitored it but told me that if it continued to grow I would also need another operation. My husband and I prayed everyday that it would disappear before the next scan. I printed out the prayers from Nerida's book "God's plan for pregnancy" and posted them in the shower and have been praying them everyone morning whilst having a shower. When I went back for a second scan a month later, the cyst had COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED! God is with us and wants us healed, healthy, whole, and pregnant!

Praise the Lord with me for His mercies and goodness endureth forever. I asked for prayer against a 7.8cm ovarian cyst last October. I went for a scan today and the cyst has disappeared. I did not take any medicine nor did I do surgery. The Lord is good and He does wonders. He'll do same for all that we desire and ask of Him.

Albertina S writes Oct'09:
Dear sisters, an encouragement to all with cysts: I remember speaking to someone about cysts recently (Ify) and saying that I had 7 of them 4 on one ovary and 3 on the other and they were big... Well, this is just to let you know that I am coming from the Dr. and thesonar showed that they are all gone. My ovaries are back to normal shape. Praise be to God.

To make my email short :D, last Tuesday (11/08/09), doctor has confirmed that I am pregnant. Thank God, I am 6 weeks pregnant now. Finally, God answer our prayers just in the right time, close to our 6 years wedding anniversary (next October). It is such a miracle for us. About 6 months ago, one doctor that told us if we only had 3% of chance to get pregnant without any operation ( I was diagnosed with endometriosis). He suggested me a laparoscopy & GnRH agonists treatment for 6 months (3 months prior to surgery and 3 month after the surgery). And he also said that during the treatment, no hope for me to be pregnant in 2009. It was a devastating situation for us. However, I don't have any surgery. Beyond all our understanding, God make a way where there seems to be no way. Praise the lord.

Rosnah H from UK writes July'09:
I was married 4 years ago and tried for a baby for 3 years.  I am now 24 weeks pregnant.  We never found out if we had a medically diagnosed problem because I was led to Nerida's teaching just as we were thinking of starting the process of tests.  But I can testify to miraculous physical healing of depression and a chronic back condition, as well as conceiving. Just want to encourage you from my experience that nothing is impossible - including coming back from the lowest of low mental and physical states and seeing all your heart's desires fulfilled.  We have a high priest in Jesus who sympathises with our weaknesses as he was tempted in every way we are, only he did not sin (Heb 4:15). Isaiah 42 says that Jesus was not disheartened or crushed and it this Spirit that He sends to comfort and uphold us.

I have chronic headaches since I was less than 10. It got worse in my 30s as I am plagued with severe headache before my ovulation and period. The one thing I never leave home without is my  advil pain killers. I never dared to go without the painkillers even  when I prayed to God for relief. In fact, at one point, I gave up  because I realised the more I pray to God for relief, the worse the  pain gets!
Lately, since I have been on WIF, hearing how one of the sisters sharing about being a little commander, commanding sickness out of her body, i did the same too. Each time I feel the ache coming, i commanded it to go away. One day, I took the step of faith and said  I will not take my pain killer. I will see how long I can sustain  the pain. Praise be to the Lord, the pain went away after I  commanded it too, it was not immediate. It took quite a while before it did. But bottom line is that it DID! I am so happy to share that I did not have any headache this month  before my ovulation nor period. In fact, I am having my period now.  Of course, disappointment follows the period (as it means i am not pregnant), but I remind myself of this battle that has been won for me, and am sure the one for my babies will come to pass too.

So, Guess what? God is amazing not that any of us doubted that! The blood clot(Subchrroinic Hematoma) was GONE!!!! GONE GONE GONE!!!! The baby was perfect. Beautiful face, pudgy arms and legs, perfect heartbeat! I'm just in awe! I am 10wks now and everything looks wonderful. Oh and the final thing that amazes me! I don't feel pregnant at all! Other than being a bit more tired I wouldn't even know. Its so strange but I feel not only fine but wonderful! The Doc even said I could get back to jogging if I want to. We told our adoption agency that we're expecting and they were less than impressed. I spent over 10 minutes convincing her that we'd be alright before I even heard a "Congrats". I was not happy with how she reacted. For those that don't really know, we're adopting (hopefully) 2 boys ages 4 and 6 and we're waiting on the paperwork to get done. She went on to tell me 2 horror stories of other clients she's working with right now. Is she trying to scare me away from adopting now that we're expecting? I don't have any fears about this but apparently she does!

My husband and I have been believing God for the manifestation of our children for 4 years now. It didn't start out with us believing. It started out with a lot of pain and hurt and a diagnosis of PCOS. Since then I've had the diagnoses of elevated testosterone, abnormally shaped ovaries, an abnormally small uterus, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism and endometiosis. I would get my period about four times a year, and that was when I took the progesterone supplements to get it to return. When I did get my period it lasted for 12 days, sometimes I spotted for even 18 days I remember. I remember the difficulty of this time and all the tears I shed, all the times I cried out to God because I couldn't understand why He didn't allow me to get pregnant and allow me to have a child like He said in his will.
Anyway, I got a word from God that we shouldn't give up and decide to figure out what the word said concerning my healing. I didn't know where to start, but in the beginning of 2007 I found this website and Nerida's website and devoured it. I'll be honest and say that I didn't really get the full revelation of it at first, and I continued to struggle. In the beginning of 2008 I got my first break through, however. I started reading the word and devouring any scriptures that I could find on healing, meditating on them, studying them for days at a time and I slowly but surely got more and more understanding concerning what Jesus did on the cross for me. You see, He purchased my sins and my sickness all at the same time, and redeemed me from the both of them in a packaged deal. Glory to God! I'm free from sin and sickness, illness and disease. Once I really grabbed a hold of this, I began to see a change in my body. I began to speak to my body with confidence and not fear. Today my sisters, I don't only get my period on time, but I get it every 29 days without fail. I can time it right down to the time of day that it will come. I know when I'm ovulating and my periods are pain free, no cramps or unusually heavly and long flows like I used to have. My periods are a total of 6 days. Even though I was getting my period every month I was spotting for a week before my period came and a few days after. I did some research on different things I could do to help it but decided to just speak to my body and command my uterus to function properly and not to break down early. The spotting stopped and has never returned. Glory to God!
I got the revelation that healed women have babies. I was so blessed when weeks later I saw that same message being spoken here in the group. My husband and I were faced once again in the beginning of this year with the possibility of seeking medical treatment, but decided once and for all to trust God. You see, I've received healing of endo, pcos, insulin resistance, ovarian cysts and every other negative word spoken over me by a doctor in my life. I don't even take the medication any more. My skin is even clearing up because I speak to it in the name of Jesus.
Now, we're awaiting the arrival of our blessing from the Lord. My registry is set up and we're proclaiming the word whenever we get the chance. Now when people ask us if we have children, we say yes because it would be a lie to say that we don't have them and the WORD OF GOD SAYS THAT WE DO! The MINUTE we pray in faith and agreement with the word and pray for children, in the Spirit its done. Its lining up with the word of God, getting our souls and minds in agreement with the word that takes time. God gives the increase immediately so its not HIS fault that our children haven't manifested yet. He's provided them already and everything that's needed to bring them into this earth.
