(Minghui.org) Children are the continuation of life and hope in the family. But in recent years, infertility rates have been on the rise.
Some infertile couples have become happy parents after practicing Falun Dafa or sincerely reciting the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Let’s take a look at their stories.
Ms. Yu Yanchun is from Changchun City, Jilin Province. She became very ill while a teenager. A doctor said that she would never be able to carry a child. But she is now a healthy mother of two sons.
Ms. Yu recalled, “When I was 13, I was diagnosed with functional uterine bleeding, which eventually caused severe anemia. Taking pills and having injections helped stop the bleeding, but if I stopped the treatment, it started all over again when I had my next period. A Chinese doctor told my mother that I would need to take medicine for the rest of my life, and there would be no possibility for me to conceive.
“I developed epilepsy on top of everything else when I was 15. I had several seizures a day and I could no longer go to school. My mother found a fortuneteller who predicted that I wouldn’t live past age 22.
“I begged my mother to let me discontinue the treatments. I did not want to be a burden to the family. If I could not bear children, so be it. But my mother insisted that even if she had to sell everything, she would still get me the treatments.”
In order to make a living, Ms. Yu went to Beijing to work when she was in her 20s. She met her future husband, who was caring and loving when she told him about her health problem. He replied, “Do not worry about that. If we can not have children, I will take it as our fate.”
His kindness and sincerity touched her heart and they got married.
Her husband began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. Having witnessed its health benefits, he asked his wife to join him. The couple began to get up early to join the group morning exercises in the park, and studied the Falun Dafa teachings at night.
Ms. Yu has since never had another seizure, and her functional bleeding has also stopped. “My mindset changed. I became more open-minded and carefree. My complexion improved and I had rosy cheeks.”
After practicing Falun Dafa for a year, Ms. Yu became pregnant, but her doctor said that what she had was a hydatidiform mole that needed to be removed. Her husband told her, “If it is abnormal, it will come out by itself. If it is normal, I will accept whatever it is.”
Ms. Yu began bleeding shortly after the hospital visit. It lasted all night and she realized that she had miscarried. She also developed a high fever. Her hemoglobin was only around 5 g/dL (the normal level for women is 12.1 to 15.1 g/dL). The hospital wanted to give her a blood transfusion, but her husband asked the doctor to wait one more day to see if the hemoglobin would come back up by itself. The next day, the number did go up and she did not require a transfusion. Ms. Yu said, “Only later did I realize that Master was cleansing my body.”
She became pregnant the following year, in 1999, and gave birth to a normal, healthy baby boy. She could hardly contain her excitement. “I was able to conceive and it is a healthy baby! I can’t believe it! I can be a mother!”
Ms. Yu and her family immigrated to Australia in 2012. She had a second son in 2015. She has been teaching her sons the principles of Dafa, and her sons are kind, upright, and upbeat.
She is deeply grateful for Dafa: “I was completely reborn with Dafa’s healing power.”
Xiao Dan met her future husband in school. But when he later told her that his parents practiced Falun Dafa and he was a big supporter, she was shocked, and it was hard for her to accept it.
“I had been deceived by the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda. I misunderstood and resisted Falun Dafa at the time. He said that he understood how I felt and would give me time to think about it.
“No matter which way I looked at it, he was excellent and perfect in my view. Especially his sincerity and kindness, which are hard to find nowadays. I couldn’t let go of this relationship. I chose to marry him in 2006,” Xiao Dan recalled.
“We both love children, but after one year of trying, I was still not pregnant. I became worried. We went to the hospital in June 2007 for a checkup, and the results almost crushed me. My husband was fine, but I had severe inflammation and my fallopian tubes were blocked. The doctor said it was impossible for me to get pregnant naturally. A sense of despair and inferiority swallowed me as if it was the end of the world.”
I cried often and asked my husband over and over, “What should I do? If I can’t have a baby, will you leave me?”
“Don’t be silly. I do not mind.”
“But what about your parents? Will they mind?”
My husband turned me toward him and looked me in the eyes and said, “I called my father and told him the results. He told me not to worry but urged us to recite the auspicious phrases ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.'”
“But what if I still can’t conceive?”
“Rest assured. Many people have had amazing things happen to them after reciting the phrases.”
“But if I still cannot...”
“Then we will adopt.”
I could not believe my ears. “Are people who practice Falun Dafa really that good?” I wondered.
I had no other choice, so I began reciting the auspicious phrases daily. Sometimes I was sincere and sometimes I was skeptical. My in-laws also came to visit me and comfort me, asking me not to worry too much.
I became pregnant in September of that year! Such a miracle made me believe that Falun Dafa was extraordinary. I became understanding of my in-laws and respected them for their beliefs.
