A few days after my first miscarriage, we had a house fire and were displaced for a year and a half. Six months after our first loss, I experienced a second miscarriage. We did IVF and during the process, 18 eggs were retrieved, resulting in six embryos, but only one was viable. The embryo transfer failed, and the doctor said
Thirteen years ago, God gave my husband and me a verse from Psalm 113:9: “God’s grace provides for the barren ones a joyful home with children so that even childless couples find a family.” After a year of trying, we underwent initial testing. The doctor diagnosed us with unexplained infertility, and we were told we were unable to receive any
We began trying to grow our family immediately after getting married in October 2020. After eight months of irregular periods and no success getting pregnant, we met with a midwife who diagnosed me with PCOS. We began doing medicated cycles, and I conceived on the very first one, but we lost our sweet baby at six weeks. After months of
My husband and I have been TTC for over 4 years. After a year of trying, we did all the tests and were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Frustrated that there was no “real reason” medically that we couldn’t get pregnant, we knew it just wasn’t God’s timing yet. Throughout that next year, we did 5 rounds of IUI, all of
When I met my husband, we knew we wanted to start trying to grow our family as soon as we got married. I never thought I would have problems conceiving and imagined that in a month or two, I would be sharing happy news. Month after month, my hopes were dashed. As anyone who has walked the road of infertility
My husband Josh and I began trying for a baby as soon as we got married in 2021. I vividly remember my OB at the time telling me, “You’re fertile, now frolic.” We eventually realized that the fertile part was not the case for us. We tried for a year before reaching out to my OB for help. I was
I never imagined that infertility would be part of my story. Just three months after getting married, I found myself pregnant with our daughter, who was born in July 2019. It wasn’t until we started trying for another baby that I learned about secondary infertility. I was diagnosed with low ovarian reserve, and since I was already in my 40s,
My husband and I began our fertility journey unexpectedly in June 2021. We had just gotten married in December 2020 and were surprised to find ourselves pregnant that June. Little did we know, our baby had no heartbeat, marking the start of a dark chapter in our lives. After a year of mourning, we decided to try again, and I
Attending the Moms in the Making leader’s retreat in April was a challenge. I was on medical leave and not sure if I could travel; there was a financial component; and I had reoccurring nightmares about attending the retreat before it was even announced. The morning I was traveling with friends to the location, I seriously considered staying behind. I
In 2018, we began trying to grow our family. After two miscarriages, I received a diagnosis of an autoimmune disorder called APS (Antiphospholipid Syndrome), which can cause blood clotting and miscarriage. My doctor added blood thinners to my protocol but I had two more miscarriages. I was so angry and confused. I knew God was good but didn’t understand why
