I was recently having some fertility issues that are thankfully now resolved with the help of doctors and medication. My TBM mom was very offended by this and told me that my visits to doctors indicated I didn't trust God's timing when it came to children. I replied that regardless of God's timing, the only thing that actually matters is the timing of ovulation; she said this was disrespectful to HF and reducing a baby to a clump of cells.
I've heard mixed responses about medical intervention (in any area) and sickness/health from other TBMs. A little girl in our ward had leukemia and they all believed our prayer cured her, while a man with cancer was taken according to God's timing though we prayed for him as well. My ex was a PhD in biochemistry working on a cure for HIV, but also believed that HIV was a due punishment for gayness. Do the TBMs in your life trust or distrust Western medicine?
