Answer

IVF is not a sin. Just as people need surgery for other body parts. We must look at IVF as another medical procedure. Because we live in a fallen world our bodies are corrupt as well. This doesn’t make our faith any less than either. It is simply using the resources God gave such as doctors, medication and etc.

Answer

I don’t know that it is necessarily a sin. HOWEVER! You may not be as estranged from you faith as you think if you still desire to please God and not sin. Honestly pray about God is always waiting for us to reach out, all you have to do is call on Him... He can do marvelous things

Answer

I read one time that if you have to ask if something is a sin, you already have your answer. A sin is something that is contrary to God's will/plan. Perhaps if you are not able to conceive with your husband then that is God's will for you and your husband and he has other plans for you, like adoption?  whenever we pray we are instructed to pray according to HIS WILL, and he will  grant the desires of our heart. The key is, we have to praying for His will, not ours. When our true desire is for His will to be accomplished, then our heart's desire will be granted!

Answer

I am a Christian. We also struggled with IVF. Is it playing God? What if have lots of embryos? Those are all God's children. 
Luckily our RE is very understanding. Before we knew anything was wrong we let her know, we don't want to waste any embryos. We also don't want to do any genetic testing. 
Well God works in amazing ways because, 
1. I have a low overian reserve so the amount of embryos we may get will most likely be less than average. 
2. Statically women my age shouldn't do genetic testing because our embryos develop slower and do better in the uterus. So some that show abnormal may be ok once put back in. 
3. My RE is allowing me to give all my embryos a chance, so the ones that kinda stall at growing we are still able to transfer. 
I've been blessed to work with one of the smartest doctors around and who also understands the IVF for someone my age is not the same as someone in their late 20's or even early 30's. I'm 36 btw.

Answer

Well I know the bible talks about God opening womens wombs like Rachel who had Joseph. The bible also talks about God closing  wombs too. I'd say leave it in Gods hands.

Answer

In my religion, IVF is not a sin as long as you are using your husband’s sperm, and not that of a sperm donor. If you use a sperm donor it is considered bringing someone else into your marital bed, essentially.

Answer

Actually you can never lose your salvation, once you are saved no one will snatch you out of Gods hands. Not sure about it being a sin or not.

Answer

I don't see how it could be. Unless you are a Christian scientist or believe in that realm of thought. Personally I think modern medicine is all part of God's will for the world and we should use it as we are able.

Answer

Try l-carnitine and acetyl-l-carnitine for sperm count for 3 months. My husband took it as he had 100% abnormal sperm confirmed 3 times. He has been on it and now his sperm is only just below normal it's almost a miracle. Good luck

Answer

Your still trying to please God, so I don't think your faith has wanderered as much as you fear. As for your husbands low sperm, have you looked into keto? Me and my husband was about to start meeting an IVF doctor as I have one fallopian tube, PCOS, polps, womb scarring and a mesh stomach and was not ovulating at all, and all the test came back as I was having no ovulation peak at all, so we tried metaforming, didn't work, and was told I need IVF.  I done keto as despration, plus the wait has been so long to see a doctor, and I needed a healthy BMI. I'm currently 8w pregnant naturally. I found out about the keto diet on here, if you search it you'll see others stories too. It boost both men and women's fertility.
Anyway sorry I've wandered. IVF I don't believe is going against God's plan as if God doesn't make the baby it doesn't get made. The bible tells us he makes every baby. If he has a different plan for you, the IVF won't work. You won't be playing God by having IVF, thats like saying every time a women has sex with her husband she playing God as may or may not get pregnant. IVF isnt definete, its just you having help towards trying to get pregnant. God still has to make the baby, God gives us choice, but remember its still always in his hands.
Praying for you and your husband.
