Practical Tips
Here you will find posts about practical tips for yourself (to keep your sanity), but also posts you can pass on to “well meaning friends” (like why to NEVER say to “just relax!”).
Identity and Infertility
This morning I pondered Isaiah 61, a passage with beautiful descriptions of joy instead of mourning, which has been a theme woven through the past year of my life. This passage describes the righteous as “a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.” It caught my eye in reference to our own…
Gift Ideas for Infertility Support
This post may contain affiliate links Earlier this year, some local women and I started an infertility support group in the DC suburbs. It has been a safe place to listen to each other and pray together. Even though our situations vary, we all understand the deep disappointment of negative pregnancy tests, the emotional struggles…
Love Doesn’t Envy
This past Sunday, I taught 2-year-old class at my church. I’m a kid person, so I’m generally okay with being around little ones during my many years of not being able to have my own. The 2-year-olds mostly enjoy free play, but I picked up the lesson sheet to share with them during their snack time. I held up the…
Listen Up! You Can Thrive During Infertility
One of my greatest dreams in my thirty-seven years of life has always been to be a wife and mom. (My mom was a wonderful kid-loving stay-at-home-mom and that’s what I’ve always wanted too!) Back when my husband and I started “trying” to have children seven years ago, I had only known a handful of couples who…
5 Ways to Support a Friend Facing Infertility
If you know someone going through infertility, would you take 5 minutes to read this? If you personally are struggling to conceive or experiencing miscarriages, would you let me know what you would add to this list? 1) Listen, Love, and Pray for her. Okay, I suppose that’s three suggestions wrapped into one, but they…
Praying for Your Future Children
Several years ago, this Facebook profile picture caught my eye and pricked my heart (used with permission). “Before He formed me in the womb, He knew me.” At the time I typed up this blog post, I had been trying for nearly four years to get pregnant. Four years is equivalent to an entire presidential term, all the…
Things She Might Not Want to Tell You (If She’s Dealing With Infertility)
The moods. Feeling hormonal and emotional. The cost. The endless decisions. And so much more. These are some of the things a woman dealing with infertility might be wrestling with today. (Men wrestle with these things too, however I can’t really speak from a man’s perspective.) Although I’ve written extensively about my experience in infertility,…
DC Walk of Hope 2016 (Resolve National Infertility Association)
For the past two years, Mike and I have attended the DC Walk of Hope, hosted by Resolve, the National Infertility Association. To be honest, I approach the day of the walk with a bit of dread – because the infertility community is a club I wish I didn’t qualify for. None of us want to be there! Everyone…
God, Gluten, and Infertility
“I hope you don’t mind me suggesting this, but have you tried a gluten-free diet?” I’ve been asked this question more than once during the last 6+ years of this infertility journey. And trust me, for a knowledgeable and googling woman, I’ve considered SO. MANY. POSSIBILITIES. of what could be wrong with my body and what…
