Coping With Infertility and Unexplained Infertility
Wonder how others are coping with infertility?
It hurts so deeply sometimes. Just seeing a child at the park would make me weep. I hurt to think that I would never have a child of my own to hold and to love.
Maybe you're experiencing unexplained infertility. All the tests have come back showing that you're okay. Your husband has tested well also.
Maybe you're going through secondary infertility. You have had one or more children already, but you're having difficulty this time. You know you should just be grateful that you have a child already (and you are), but you long to have more.
I would like to share hope with you. First, with a video. It will make you cry, but it should also make you realize that you're not alone - there is hope. Many others have hurt just like you, and they saw their dream of conceiving a child come true, even in their 30's or 40's.
This is Kellie Coffey singing a beautiful song entitled, "I Would Die For That" that speaks to all of us who have experienced infertility and miscarriages. She speaks to the hurt that many are going through even still. Let yourself weep for your inability to conceive thus far and for the loss (or losses) you've experienced. Then, I want to offer a prayer for each of you. My Prayer For Each of You Who are Coping With Infertility
Lord God, I pray for each of these women as they struggle with infertility issues. Some have had miscarriages as well. They are all hurting and longing for a child to hold. They have questions and need to hear Your voice and feel Your hands holding them during this time. Please uphold each one and comfort them like only You can. Give each one the grace to accept Your plan for them and the patience to wait for Your answer. Give them peace in knowing that You are there for them in your mercy and love for them.
Please let us know about your infertility struggles and successes. If you've never succeeded in getting pregnant, here's where to share. If you have succeeded in getting pregnant, this is where you can share also. Maybe your success story can help someone else. Maybe your story of struggle can let someone else know they're not the only one struggling. Your story can make a huge impact on someone else's life.
