Infertility. Pain. Hope. Faith. Struggle. Love.

This is our story right now.

It’s hard to even find the words sometimes. But I’ve reached a point where holding it all in is just too heavy.

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for what feels like forever. Month after month, test after test, prayer after prayer — all followed by heartbreak. Watching time pass while our dreams stay just out of reach. The silence that follows each negative result is loud, suffocating even. It breaks us in ways that are hard to describe.

Infertility doesn’t just affect your body. It affects your heart, your mind, your spirit — and yes, your marriage too.

We love each other deeply, but this journey has taken a toll on us. There are arguments that never would’ve happened if we weren’t carrying this invisible weight. There’s tension, hurt, guilt, and frustration — sometimes directed at each other when really, we’re both just hurting. It’s hard when the one person you love most is also the person who’s grieving with you… because you each feel powerless to fix it.

We never imagined our relationship would be tested in this way. We never thought we’d be sitting on opposite ends of the couch, both silently crying, not knowing what to say to make it better. We never expected this to be our story.

But through it all — the tears, the pain, the questions — we still have hope. And we still have faith.

We believe in God’s timing, even when it’s hard to understand. We believe that there is purpose in the waiting, even if we can’t yet see it. And we believe that love — real, messy, honest love — is worth fighting for. Every single day.

We pray. We hope. We cry. We hold onto each other even when it’s hard. And we know we’re not alone, even if it feels like it sometimes.

To anyone else walking this painful road: we see you. We feel what you feel. And we’re with you in this — heart and soul.

Please keep us in your prayers, and know that if you’re struggling too, we’re praying for you as well. Because this journey, while painful, is also shaping us. It’s deepening our faith, our love, and our resilience — even on the days when we feel like we’re breaking.

This is hard. But we’re not giving up.

One day, we believe this pain will make sense. Until then, we hold on. To each other. To hope. To God.

❤🙏

Our son and his wife went through this until they had tried everything. They ended up adopting a daughter at birth and then her brother a little over a year later. I hope you find what works for you.

My wife and I are going through this. My wife would advise you to trust in the sovereignty of God, it is hard but it is rewarding and soul satisfying.

Avoid prosperity preaching where we are guaranteed these things.

Nothing wrong with trying IVF, my wife has an appointment.
While you're waiting .....



155,000 children

In the United States, there are approximately 155,000 children waiting to be adopted. Additionally, about 117,000 children are legally free for adoption and are currently in foster care. Each year, many children age out of the system without finding a permanent family, highlighting the ongoing need for adoptive families.

IVF has worked for many couples. Is there any way you can try it?

@TiaRose So, which one of you is infertile? Maybe your husband's sperm count is low. Do you have good eggs? Would you consider a surrogate or a sperm donor?

Remember, babies are very expensive and one can cost you $300,000 to over $400,000 to raise to adulthood in America.

@Diotrephes Correct.

Getting pregnant can be a very tough road to travel for both when things refuse to work as Mother Nature intended them to.

Medical science can sometimes help. Are you fertile?
Does your husband produce healthy viable sperm?
