Infertility reversed

Mary Carol Ghislin

During my college years, I began to study Christian Science and married the man who introduced me to this wonderful study. Over the years we have been blessed with numerous healings.

For many years, I suffered from secondary infertility; that is, the inability to conceive a second child. Through the years, I watched three of my sisters experience many of the same symptoms I suffered from. They turned to infertility treatments and surgery one after the other—some with success and others with none. As a Christian Scientist, I wanted to take a different approach.

Whenever I worried that perhaps it was not right for me to have another child, I turned to the Bible and found reassurance from healings of infertility. In fact, the blessings of motherhood are completely supported in the stories of Hannah (see I Samuel 1:1–22) and Elisabeth (see Luke 1:5–25), as well as in Jesus’ love for little children. Yet, I suffered two apparent miscarriages and two false positive pregnancy tests.
