In October 2023, one week after our 3rd miscarriage, I boarded a flight to my very first Moms in the Making conference. I walked in so angry with God that I couldn’t even lift my hands and worship. I didn’t understand how these women all around me could have so much hope and joy in the midst of deep grief.
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
Before I found Moms in the Making, I was in the trenches of grief and loss. I was part of an online support group, but it was no longer helping, and I knew I needed something more. I felt so alone. One day I was talking with my grandmother about everything I was going through, and she said, “We’re going
After I became pregnant and lost my baby, something inside of me broke physically and emotionally. For many years, I went through different fertility treatments trying to get pregnant. My husband and I began a long journey of surgeries for both of us, IVF attempts that failed… and still, we couldn’t conceive. At some point, I decided to pause everything.
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
In 2023, immediately after getting married, my husband and I felt a calling to start our family. We were full of excitement and expected everything to happen quickly, as we had seen that be the case for others in our lives. After six months of trying, we found out we were expecting. Our sweet baby went to be with the
At the start of 2025, life felt full of promise. I was earning a six figure salary, we had just moved into our new home, and we were only 5% away from our IVF savings goal. Then on April 11, 2025, I was laid off due to an economic decision by my former employer. That same day, my husband deployed
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
During the 2025 Moms in the Making conference, I asked for prayer for healing from PCOS. We have had one miracle baby and three losses, and growing our family has been very challenging. On top of that, my husband’s health and mine haven’t been great this year, and the weight of medical bills has felt overwhelming. We have faced a
Since 2024, I attended Moms in the Making virtual Bible studies while leaders encouraged me to step into leadership. Fear and doubt held me back, and old comments from family and unsolicited church advice left me feeling rejected. At the 2024 Moms in the Making Conference, I confessed my bitterness, that others received grace while I felt overlooked. Speaking it
