“This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”

Over the past several years, there’s been a subject that’s been about as close to my heart as you can get, but I haven’t written about it or even spoken about it publicly, because it was almost a little too close to share. I am finally feeling that it is something I can open up about more, now that we are on a different side of the mountain.

That subject is infertility—the desire to have a baby while not currently having one; the journey of trying to conceive ( or ‘TTC’ as certain communities refer to it).

I have met more people and encountered more stories than I can count regarding this sensitive topic, and it deeply compels me to share our story. Growing up, I had heard of and known friends who were trying to get pregnant over the years, and had great yearning with them to see their desire fulfilled, but at the same time, did not fully comprehend what they were going through. You may know someone right now who you are “rooting with”, in their corner’, believing with and praying for them to get pregnant as well. I had no idea the depth of emotion that you experience on this journey until it was something I experienced for myself.

2 years ago, the journey of trying to get pregnant for two years had become an emotional struggle, and we decided to start our first round of fertility treatments. After 6 months of this, I become frantic and stressed. When, at the end of those 6 months, we moved our lives to a new city, I was exhausted in the emotional effort of trying, and did not start treatments again.

Something about the treatments were encouraging–you had someone every month working very hard to help you reach your goal.

Something about the treatments were also so devastating.

It took me awhile to finally decide I was emotionally and spiritually prepared to start the process again. A year ago this month, I took the first step of undergoing a laparoscopic surgery, and after that, started the treatments that continued for the next 5 months.

The second time around, we were both in a steadier place, spiritually and emotionally, and we had renewed strength fight the battle the way the Lord wanted us to do. We did get pregnant, and encounter our dream-come-true, and now, 2 years later looks very different—very PINK actually!—as we just celebrated the first birthday of our amazing and beautiful baby girl.

I learned many things in the years we fought this battle. Things about myself, about others, and mostly about my Father God. For instance, the weariness of the war can sometimes cause you to see things from the wrong perspective–ask me how I know! One thing I know now that I didn’t realize at the time was how many women are fighting this same battle. Our stories might all look a little bit different, but the hurt and struggle remain the same. I tell you my story so you know where I am coming from, and want to write a few things that I hope will help encourage you and uplift you in your journey. I didn’t find many great resources when I was walking this road these past few years, so I want to be a resource to you, should you need encouragement during this time.

As a Christian, the key to winning any battle in life is through the key of faith, and the battle against infertility is no different. Yet, in the midst of the great emotions tied up in this topic, faith can get booted to the end of the line, as we struggle just to maintain hope. And a frenzied hope at that. So I’ve put together some points that I really feel are important to overcoming the struggle of infertility on the spiritual and emotional level, from the inside out.

Not gonna lie–this post is a bit long. But it is more than a blog post to me–it’s a summary of experiences and advice that are close to my heart. My hope is that, to the people who need it and for those who find their way to this page, some of these words will be the exact ones their heart yearns to hear. My hope is that it would be a lifeline to women who find themselves in this discouraging situation. Just knowing you are not the only one who feels this way can be a serious and needed boost to your heart sometimes.

I’ve bulleted the points below, so you can shorten the reading for yourself and skip to the ones that maybe more specifically apply to you by clicking on the point. Or you can take your time reading through it all if you’d like! Some points are longer than others, but I just didn’t feel like I could leave any of these thoughts out. I also feel like they apply across the board and can encourage anyone going through a difficult trial, but they are specifically aimed at this particular subject.

If you don’t read any further, just know this–It is coming! The promise you desire from God! If that desire is a child, then a baby and a family are what God wants for you! Don’t let the devil lie to you. Keep believing and standing and you will see it!

Getting from Hope to Faith and overcoming from the inside out:

1. Maintain your Spiritual Life.
2. Know that God has not abandoned you.
3. Don’t be afraid to seek medical help.
4. When you get mad…
5. Trust God’s Timing
6. Don’t Lose your Sense of Self
7. Know that people are going to say rude insensitive things. Even if they are not rude insensitive people.
8. Some things you just keep close to the belt.
9. Keep your spouse on the inside not the out.
10. A word to my people who have no idea that the struggle is real…
11. When other people get what you want.
12. When you get what you want.

1. Maintain your spiritual life.

Your true source of strength, life, and refreshment, and the thing that is going to sustain you in times of discouragement and hardship is the solid foundation of the Word of God.

A lot of women in the TTC journey can experience ‘roller coasters’ of ups and downs, and the feeling of a sinking sand foundation. For awhile, we are doing so good, and then without warning, we nose dive.

First thing–forgive yourself if this happens. Don’t get down on yourself if you have a ‘down’ moment.You are a woman, and God knows you are dealing with all the hormones and feelings that come with that!! Don’t let that keep you from coming right back to His arms. In fact, the sooner you run back, the better. The more and more you do that instead of wallowing in your discouragement, the shorter and shorter the roller coaster gets.

The key of keeping your faith up, can be so so so hard when you’re in it; those emotions and desires to be parents are one of the strongest things I’ve ever experienced. You might be saying “I know God is faithful, but I can’t help to feel like every month is a faith failure.” Myself and thousands other women understand that thought. But you do really have to come to the place of trust in God, where faith doesn’t fluctuate with every feeling. That can only come through time in the Word and with the Lord. He’s really the only one with the answers tailored specifically for you and your questions Thankfully, He’s ALWAYS available to talk to you about them! If you do end up getting down after months of being ‘up’, don’t worry about it. Just pick up again! Condemnation will keep you away from God quicker than anything else when really, He is waiting to talk to you and take the care away from you!

Know this–it is absolutely God’s plan for you to be a Mom if that’s a desire of your heart. It’s simple, but it’s something you will have to stay completely on top of in your own mind, because somewhere deep in there, when you get discouraged, you can doubt God’s plan and God’s will, and the first thing is to never doubt it. That comes from spending time with His Word (His will!)

Know this as well–that you are in a great place for believing God. The years you’ve been in this battle may definitely be long enough for a good faith fight, but they are still not forever!!! The years that have passed are NOT going to dictate the rest of your life.

You are not a faith failure just because it may not look like anything is happening right now. God will NEVER let you down!!! And faith does NOT disappoint! If you have to get to where you tell yourself that over and over again, then do it. When you get to that point where nothing can move you from your confession of faith and what you’re believing God for, then you are in the best position to receive!!

Psalm 37:4 “Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

2. Know that God has not abandoned you.

This is the very first thing that you need to know beyond a shadow of a doubt. Because the opposite of this is the very first thing of which the devil will try to convince you. He loves to isolate you from your Father God, who has brought you true freedom, help and victory.

Along this journey, I have talked to a lot of women about their struggles, and the most common feelings women feel in this scenario is first, that God has forgotten about them, and second, that they are the only one who is dealing with these emotions. It is one of the most lonely feelings in the whole world, and can cause you to pull away from the One who loves you most.

Never never never abandon God. He has NOT abandoned you.

He has NOT forgotten you or your future, and if you have to say that out loud to yourself every day, then do it! I highly recommend it.

Trying to get pregnant and not being able to was one of the most heart-wrenching, painful, and aching experiences of my life. And when you’re in a situation that brings you so much pain, you tend to forget your “anchors” and be swayed by the passing waves. Find some anchors that bring you back to the goodness of God, and don’t let you forget His true character. Two songs that encouraged me so much are:

• ‘Oceans’ by Hillsong–the lines about trusting God without borders got to me more than a Kodak commercial at Christmas
• and the lesser-known song “Turn to You” by Equipper’s Church. It has an amazing chorus that sings: “My focus is Jesus, Who’s the Alpha and the Omega. All my hopes are found in You, Jesus. You will never disappoint or fail or let me down.” 

I remember finding myself running down the road on a favorite jogging trail of mine singing that so loudly to myself, to drown out the other negative emotions that were banging on the door of my heart. The continual confession helped me keep that door closed to what shouldn’t be allowed in, and helped me focus on the truth about my loving Father God–that He will never leave me or forsake me, and that this is not the end of my story.

“Hope deferred can make the heart sick” the Bible says, and a sick heart cannot stay in faith the way you need to to overcome in this battle. Redirect your heart to the one and only hope that WILL NOT disappoint you.

Proverbs 13:12 “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.”

Deuteronomy 31:6 “So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”

3. Don’t be afraid to seek medical help.

I am a faith girl, and I serve a faith God. I am also a human girl, and sometimes deal with the human emotions that have not been perfected yet in myself–anxiety, hurt, and the overwhelming fear that can try to come upon you in situations that feel out of your control–like infertility.

It’s such a sensitive thing, and your God made even your body so sensitive that it actually responds to the emotions and feelings you let into your heart. It’s how He made you, but it can also be a hindrance in conceiving because your body can sense fear and anxiety. It will literally shut those systems down that need to be working, in the presence of stress or other pressures.

God has given us every tool we need to fight and win those emotional and spiritual battles. At the same time, you can get battle fatigue fighting on one field while also fighting the other field of health and fertility issues with your body. I believe that anyone who can help encourage you in either of these fields is a good thing and not a bad thing.

One of the main hesitations from most couples on this path is the possible financial burden of fertility treatments, etc. I can’t possible know every situation or circumstance to see how God could work that out for you, but here’s what I DO know—God is Jehovah Jirah, the God Who provides! But sometimes in a battle where you are fatigued in your heart, emotions AND body, it can be almost easier to focus your faith on believing God for the finances needed to pursue those procedures, rather than the challenge of using your faith on a lot of things that you may not know are going on or not going on with your body. I have seen God do some amazing things when it comes to providing for couples financially who are pursing fertility options, and I encourage everyone to trust God in that arena so that you can take a breather in the other arenas. It’s a whole book really to talk about trusting God in the area of finances, but the bottom line is this—consider letting yourself rest a little, and leave the heaving lifting to the God who fights the hard battles for us!!

Gods desire for you is to win this fight. The goal of our faith is to win this fight. If someone is actively working to helping you do the same thing–win this fight–then they must be on your side and God’s side. And anyone who can help you understand more specifically where to use your faith can only help you as well. It can still be hard on you, because disappointment each month is still disappointment, but at least you have a team of people wanting to help you reach your goal as much as you want to reach it.

Now, do they know everything when it comes to helping you be in the place you need to be with God through this journey? No way. They can sometimes give you worse-case scenarios, they may sometimes give a bad report or say or do something that unbeknownst to them is discouraging to you.Our job is to wade through all that and find our center of gravity in God.

Seeking help in the medical field in no way means you stop seeking God. It’s not one or the other. It’s everything working together. I would say I am so thankful for the help the doctors provided. They were God-sent people into our lives, and I’m thankful for them. They’re definitely a part of our story.

Proverbs 3:13 “Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding.”

4. When you get mad…

I’d like to say you are not going to get mad about this. But the minute you see a bad parent in Walmart mis-treating their kids, chances are you are going to have to deal with the frustration of “Why, God, why?” [Refer to Karen Salisbury’s book here!!]

In our first round of treatments, I became hurt, and scared every month when it didn’t work. Once we realized we were moving cities, and I only had a few more months with my doctor, I panicked a little on the inside, putting myself on a time table for getting this done, and every month closer when it didn’t work was harder and harder. By the time we moved and I had been taking shots and pills for 6 months, I was so discouraged, so hurt and so frustrated. I was even frustrated with God and the people that love me most. I was angry a little inside. I didn’t want to go through that again, and that’s when I decided to take a break and not pursue treatment again for awhile, like I mentioned above.

I have talked to many woman about this subject, and all of them have dealt with this emotion. You can become angry when you don’t understand the ‘whys’, or when you have the feeling of not being in control of your life. You can feel like you’ve gotten the short end of the stick. You can feel weak.

Please know this. You can totally talk to God about all of this. He can take it. He knows what you’re feeling, whether you confide in Him or not, so you might as well use this great privilege we have of sitting at His feet and just go there and tell Him everything that’s on your mind. Everything! Even the things you are feeling that make you mad! He. can. take. it!!! The people around you? They might not be able to take it. And they don’t need to. Your prayer closet is the safest and best place to express these thoughts to our Father.

I love that about God. I can really say whatever I is on my heart to Him and He hears me. EVERY time. And cares!! Every prayer I prayed, every feeling I had, He was there with me, and He is and will be for you too. I’m sure you have, but make Him your ally in this and not someone whom you don’t feel is on your side. Because He IS on your side, more than anyone else.

Psalm 18:6 “In my distress I called upon the LORD; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.”

5. Trust Gods timing.

Thinking of time, or the ticking clock of age will not bless you, will not encourage you, will not help you pass go or collect $200. It will stress you, panic you, and discourage you.

Planning things out for your life can be fun, and I am the first one that loves to do it (all the type-A planners holla!!), but we have to let go when they don’t quite work out the way we think it will. Yes, Christmas would be the perfect time to announce to your family that you are having a baby, and yes, you could wrap your announcement in a oh-so-cute surprise gift for under the tree (see, I get you!!)–but do you know what? If it doesn’t happen on that time schedule, it will be ok. You will be so excited you won’t know or care about the difference. Getting caught up in these self-imposed deadlines can bring on discouragement and care that wouldn’t have even been there before if you hadn’t put them there.

At the end of the day, life is still in God’s hands. He is the giver of life. Every single child is ordained in His book, and their lives written before one page of them ever come to be! At some point, we have to stop and trust that He has the perfect child for us and for our family, and He knows and sees things that we cannot. He knows the child that He wants you to have, and sometimes we need to just get out of the rut of having to plan every single aspect of our lives. Every day, and especially in this subject, the only way to live is to trust the Lord and let Him mess up your plan, if that’s what He needs to do. The mindset of absolute trust and abandonment of your plans is sometimes all He needs to do the work in your heart and life that He’s been wanting to do.

Deuteronomy 29:29 “The secret things belong to the LORD our God…”

Psalm 139:16 “You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.”

Provers 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.”

6. Don’t lose your sense of self.

I have heard this given as advice to parents who can get so caught up in the lives of their kids that they lose their own dreams, desires, and goals for their life. Did you know the same thing can happen while you are waiting to have a child? You can become a little ‘frozen’ in your life, thinking, well, I can’t plan that big trip, or we can’t make those big plans, because we may have a child then! Or we may be pregnant then!  Getting so caught up in your desire for a child in such a way that everything else falls aside is a way that the devil can isolate you, and make you feel even more alone, when you don’t have other activities and goals in your life.

This train of thought is a quick road to discouragement, if your conceiving journey takes any amount of time. It can quickly lead to months/years of regret and even bitterness on the things you have given up.

Keep your sense of self, purpose, and calling in the midst of this journey, and it will be fast-track training ground to being a better parent when the time surely comes. Because even when you become a mom, you can’t get so caught up in your kids that you forget who you are or neglect your God-given dreams–so see it as an exercise in being a good parent in the future! The best thing a mom or dad can do for their child is to be involved in and doing the things God wants them to do–and that usually involves other people and things sometimes. Not to mention that on a psychological and physical level, it will help your body to have other things to think and dream about.

Psalm 37:4 “Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

7. Know that people are going to say rude insensitive things. Even if they are not rude insensitive people.

Ok, you can’t say you haven’t been warned! Now you can’t be shocked! 🙂 One thing that was most frustrating to me about this journey was the silly things that people say. Really dumb things, actually. And honestly, people still said stupid and insensitive things during pregnancy, and even after! Throughout the years, I have received rude, hurtful, and invasive personal comments from people that honestly, mostly had no idea they were saying anything wrong. Lesson learned: people are going to say things that are sometimes hurtful and frustrating at many points in our lives, and they’ll pressure you into answers that you are not ready for. You are not obliged to answer them.

This whole process made me realize how many people have no clue what it is like to struggle with the burden of an infertility journey. You have to really be understanding of the fact that most people have no idea that what they’re saying is inappropriate.

Also, this process made me realize how many people are silently going through this same struggle. We can get so into “our” issues that we completely ignore others. I speak from experience! When I was dealing with my own emotions on the subject, I was very closed, inward focused, and well, to be honest, self-centered in my feelings that I was alone in this situation. Please know this–there are soooo many more people out there dealing with this subjects than you realize. There are so many people dealing with hurts of their own in many areas–never assume you are by yourself in this thing called life that brings challenges to us all. Every single person is going through a struggle–at points when you feel the most ‘inward’, lift up your head and take a look outward.

Reach out to the person next to you–they may be just what you need, or you may be what they need. It can be the most healing thing to a hurt heart to help others. Some of those people might even be the ones that said a rude comment to you moments before–but see past it, and never assume your battle is the only one being fought. We are all in this together.

Luke 6:31 “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”

8. Some things you just keep close to the belt.

There are going to be people who are so interested and caring about your life that you can share this journey with. And there are going to be people that don’t understand as much, and can’t filter your thoughts or what you’re going through the same way. Find your people that care, share with them, and then keep it there. Don’t overshare on social media, or with people that you in whom you don’t have complete trust. Even when you do share with trusted friends, you really don’t have to give every detail.

Yes, say confessions in line with your faith, but don’t just say something because you feel pressured by the people waiting for your answer. You are “expecting”, but don’t feel like you have to give other people an answer that will put pressure on you to get pregnant that much quicker! The only thing we should be putting pressure on is God and His Word. Find an answer that you can say that is in line with your faith, but doesn’t back you into a corner on timing or anything else. Talk to God about timing, but don’t feel like you have to let people in on that private conversation.

I promise that most likely, you will not regret keeping things a little closer to the belt. Especially because most people just don’t know how to process this situation. And even if they do, they might not process it like you. The less specifics the better.

Matthew 7:6 ”Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”

9. Keep your spouse on the inside not the out.

Most of what I’m saying in this entire post applies to the thoughts and feelings of a woman. (Because that’s the perspective I understand most! 🙂 Women have a unique set of thoughts and feelings that in this challenging time, may be difficult for a spouse to understand. Also, like the point made above, the way you are processing your disappointments may be different than the way your husband processes them. But just because his “processing” of the situation may be different than yours, or his faith journey for that matter–don’t shut him out, or write off that he doesn’t understand!

If you’re like us and thousands of other married couples, you are more than likely ‘opposites’–which is cute when you’re talking about your favorite movies, but not as fun when dealing with serious issues that you approach in entirely different ways. The whole situation we are discussing is very challenging to a man, but he won’t word it as such to you. He likes to be someone in your life that can fix things, help you, make your life together be as successful as it can be. Also, if you’re going through the conceiving journey, it means he wants a child too! As bad as you! But he will express these thoughts and desires differently than yours. Do NOT write his feelings or processing off as less important than yours. Different does not equal less important.

If it’s hard for you, it’s is hard for him. He wants to make it better for you. He wants to help you, and see you happy. This is the one person that is in this thing with you the whole way through. This is the person that loves you, cares for you, and wants you to have what you want as badly as you do. This is the person that is hurt as badly as you every month you are disappointed–he’s just probably a little more quiet about it.

Don’t discount his feelings or heart because it may look different than you think it should. Difficult situations ironically sometimes make us turn on the people that love us most, and it is very common among couples to grow apart in situations like this when one small adjustment can instead help you grow together. He cares about you more than anyone else in this entire scenario–see him through that light and make him your ally, not your emotional punching bag when your disappointments get the better of you.

God is the one who can take the punches. No other human. If this is a challenging subject for you, read #3 again for encouragement and direction!! 🙂

Ecclesiastes 4:12 “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

10. A word to my people who have no idea of that the struggle is real…

Know that this is a sensitive issue, whether you understand it or not. Even if you can’t relate, please know that your comments–no matter how innocent or unbiased they may be–can hurt so so badly even if you didn’t mean for them to hurt. Questions like “when are you going to start having those babies??” or “Why don’t you have kids?” can sting soooooo bad. They make us feel like you think we don’t care about having kids or don’t want them at all, while we are sitting there wanting them more than anything! It makes us feel misunderstood, and calls out our greatest desire, while making us feel like you just stomped on it at the same time.

First off, I totally get it. Before I dealt with this issue myself, I was someone who had no idea how sensitive the issue of infertility was to the people in the situation. I probably did say things that were totally wrong to people I had no idea were hurting. But now I know, and I hope to never say the wrong thing again. And now you know, and can be all the wiser as well!

Just because we don’t have kids doesn’t mean we don’t want them. I think this is one of the most common misconceptions when people see a married couple that has not had children yet. Comments that highlight this situation are never encouraging to us and can be quite stressful.

For my faith ladies who are on top of their confession game–what do you say when people ask you these questions?! How do you say the right thing to answer people that you don’t want to let into your business? I usually answered that we love kids and are really looking forward to having them. People still had questions, but without answering them directly, it at least let them understand that we love kids!! It is a silly thing to assume that just because they aren’t a part of our family yet that we don’t absolutely treasure them.

A safe bet on all occasions? Don’t assume. And if someone does open up to you that they’ve been trying to conceive for awhile, please don’t comment on how what a long time that’s been! Or how you didn’t have to wait at all! This is very insensitive.

Just know this is a delicate subject, and just because someone doesn’t talk about it doesn’t mean it’s not on their mind. Try to find something different to make conversation about! They will be most grateful 🙂

Galatians 6:2 “Bear one another’s burdens, and  so fulfill  the law of Christ.”

11. When other people get what you want.

Spoiler alert: This will happen. Why? Because this is life.

When Johnny Miller got picked for elementary school traffic guard over you in 4th grade, it was only training for the years ahead of things not always going as you planned. The key is how you handle it.

As Christians, aren’t we all rooting for each other? We want every single person to WIN! We know the truth—that a chain isn’t as strong as its weakest link, so we desire everyone to be strong and seriously scoring in this thing called life.

As much as this is what we know and our spirits truly desire, you still may feel a sting when someone else reaches the milestone about which you’ve been dreaming. Good news–this is the stuff character is made of.

If you’re the person on the other end of the good news–if you’re the friend rejoicing with the person who just got what you want–take heart. Sow good seed. It is ok to refer back to #3, and let God handle your heart (It doesn’t mean you are not happy for those you love!). Yet we also want to take steps of faith to truly rejoice from a heart of genuine happiness with those who rejoice as well.

I have no answer to why some people don’t have to try at all, and others of us go through this situation. It is a mystery to me how some people are able to get pregnant so quickly. The only thing we can be is happy for them that they are able to experience that, because we never want to begrudge a blessing on someone else. We can rejoice with them that they didn’t have to experience what we did, and truth be told, really in our deepest heart of love, we don’t want them to have to go through this. (But it would make so much easier if they understood, wouldn’t it??) Also, my fertility doctor gave me a great perspective–she told me how we will be able to be so much more thankful than most for this blessing of a child in our life, because of what we’ve been through. Think of how much more you’ll see your child in a way that honestly, the others can never see them.

Romans 12:15 “Rejoice with those who rejoice.”

12. When you get what you want.

I don’t think you’ll need much help with this one 🙂 But here’s a few thoughts…Don’t flaunt, or be prideful in your victory; that could hurt others very much. But don’t be afraid to rejoice either. The people that love you will rejoice with you. If it is hard for a friend or loved one who may be on the TTC journey, be understanding and let that be ok. Because it’s never about us, it’s always about others. Know that they are truly happy for you, they are just struggling with the reminder of the fulfillment of their desires as well. Be a true friend and pray for them and believe with them (you don’t even have to say so–just do it!)

Then, do a happy dance. Dance like David danced! Maybe eat some donuts. Thank God!!! (Please don’t forget this step!) When you get your victory, absolutely rejoice. The cool thing is, you’ll learn that everything you’ve been through up to that point, has only better prepared you for taking on the awesome road to come.

1 Samuel 2:1 “Then Hannah prayed and said, “My heart exults in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD, My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.”

I am so excited for your future. It is good and bright and awesome, and the joy of it all will cause the pain of today to one day completely disappear. God is a GOOD God, and ALL. IS. WELL. 🙂 Like I said at the beginning, it is coming! A baby and a family are what God wants for you! Don’t let the devil lie to you. Keep believing and standing and you will see it!!!

Take heart. Don’t lose hope, and keep the faith!!

If you know someone who may be dealing with the subject of infertility, please pass this message along to them. Knowing there are people out there who have been through similar experiences to what you have been through, and whom you feel like understand you is so vital to being encouraged and maintaining hope on this difficult road.
