My husband and I have been trying for a baby via IVF since 2021. I got married later in life at 39, so we began trying after that time. We have come very close, but there has not been a baby to date. I do not want to give up because I have not heard a “no” from God, I have only heard “not yet”. God has opened too many doors to get us here and ensure that the treatments have not put us in overwhelming debt. Insurance (that came from a new job my husband got when we started) paid for the vast majority. I am asking for renewed faith, strength, and reassurance to help get me through the wait because the losses and disappointments have begun to weigh heavily on me and I am tired. If I am on the wrong path, I am asking to make me receptive to what I did not previously hear or see.
My heart and prayers go out to you.
Praying you are able to have confidence that God is good and his timing is best, even when it doesn’t make sense to us. Praying for your miracle baby and for peace regardless of the path God has for you. ![]()
Are you prepared to love God even if you never conceive? My heart aches for you. My daughter spent 10 years trying to get pregnant, only to find bitter disappointment throughout those years. Thankfully her fiance is a faith-filled man who kept reassuring her that she’ll have a baby when the time..God’s timing..is right. No, they aren’t legally married yet but I call him my son-in-law. I actually call him my son, just as I call my daughter-in-law my daughter. And yes, my daughter finally had a baby boy. Please don’t give up. Keep praying and leaning into Him. I wish I could hug you..but I’ll encourage you and pray for you. And if you’ve heard Him say “not yet” then just hang on.
With so much love ![]()
Thank you @DaughterOfEve24 and @Joanne.1966. I just read the Gratitude in Affliction Thanksgiving Devotional from yesterday. That really spoke to me. I will continue to draw on the strength of the Lord to endure. IJNA! ![]()
