Sara, God bless you and yours. I remember the struggles we had as well. We have two children this side of heaven and several in heaven. Ours was not inability to get pregnant but to stay that way, to carry to full term each child. The lessons learned in faith in this situation can be carried to any aspect of life. So many times resting in the Lord, waiting is the hardest struggle of our human hearts. For over 26 years, now the same struggles with health has been based in waiting on the Lord. After a fire, the condition like the boy in the bubble became my situation. I was supposed to live in a bubble in order to maintain any measure of health. Your story is a reminder of God’s faithfulness in spite of our situations. His is abundantly able to take all our complaints, like Job and lovingly tell us He is in control no matter what it looks like. Life is always a struggle as illness is constant and a bitter friend that is unkind in all its ways, but as the Apostle Paul stated it is a humble state of dependence on the Lord for every moment of most days, His grace is sufficient.

Saying a prayer for you Becky! Thanks for taking the time to share your story. We never got to the IVF stage, but I can only imagine how hard it can be to have all your hopes wrapped up in one last try. I remember how it was with the medicines that I was trying. I eventually gave up on the medicine and quit taking it, saying that it would happen when it was God’s timing. While I don’t understand the “how” and the “why” of our story of starting an adoption and then getting pregnant, too. God has been faithful through it all, even the darkest of days. And ultimately, He is growing our family by 2! Blessings to you Becky!

You’ve summed it up so well. We struggled for two years to get pregnant with our son and finally succeeded through ivf. Now we’re trying ivf again – we’ve got one more try it didin’t work for us the first time this go round. As much as I hurt and ached and cried through all of this – I wouldn’t do it any other way. I know that I cherish my son and that the struggles we went through made us stronger. They also made me aware of how many people around me are struggling with infertility. Thank you for expressing all of this so well.
