There is one person that’s been by my side EVERY SINGLE step of this journey, and that’s my husband. I also must know that I have tried so very hard to raise awareness to this awful disease and bring support to those also suffering. I must know that I’m walking out of this journey a much stronger woman. Acupuncture, numerous doctor opinions, diet, exercise, PGS testing our embryos, no caffeine, pineapple core, Brazil nuts, pom juice, baby aspirin, Lovenox, infusions…the list goes on. Hell, if you ask me, I’d like to think I even went above & beyond to try to have a child. Whatever tomorrow brings, I must know that I have tried everything I could to bring a baby into this world. When we suffered failed transfer after failed transfer, miscarriage after miscarriage…hope and faith was there to pull us through to try time and time again. I’ve told a few people that we are going into this cycle with zero expectations, and believe me, we’ve tried, but how can we not have at least some hope and faith? It’s what has gotten us this far already. Knowing that we have one embryo left, one last shot at this, after all we have been through, is hard. Tomorrow is a day we have been dreading for some time. The only photos I have of our babies are their first photos of them as little embryos, but they are everything to me.Īs the week has gone on, the lump in my throat has gradually gotten bigger and bigger. Instead, we have been struggling with infertility while it seems everyone around us is having babies, celebrating milestones with their kids, decorating nurseries, etc. We haven’t been blessed enough to get pregnant naturally, carry a child to term, hear the heartbeat on the ultrasound, or feel kicks in the womb. Our journey to parenthood hasn’t been a “straight line” in the least rather, hundreds of different loops, twists, and turns. I wanted a little boy and a little girl, who was the perfect mix of myself and their father. In Jesus’ Name, amen.For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a mom. I know that You are greater than my fears and You have good things planned for my future. Help me to speak words of faith and say what You say about my situation. When things are uncertain, help me to believe Your Word more than my doubts and fears. Pray: “God, thank You for watching over every detail of my life. Living by faith doesn’t mean that we ignore our circumstances, but it means that we choose to focus on God and believe that He is greater than anything we are going through (see Ephesians 3:20). “I don’t have to fear, because God is always with me.” (See Joshua 1:9.) The Lord’s goodness and mercy follow me every single day of my life!” (See Philippians 4:6 Psalm 23:6.) “My future is bright, and I have nothing to worry about-God is taking care of me. “God has a great plan for my future, and I believe something good is going to happen today!” (See Jeremiah 29:11.) When you are going through a difficult time or find yourself expecting the worst, I encourage you to say things like: So, even when it doesn’t look like good things are happening, it’s important to say what God’s Word says about our situation. One of the main ways we release our faith is through what we say. Faith enables us to believe things that may not make sense to our natural minds. Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith allows us to believe that God is going to do something great even before it comes to pass.
