This prayer is for the woman who woke up this week carrying something heavy.

Something she is still trying to find words for. Something that sits in her chest and follows her through her day. Something only she and God fully know about right now. You are not forgotten. You are not too much. You are not alone. He meets us in the places words cannot reach. In the anxiety. I

This week had a lot in it.🫶

A negative still settling. A new cycle beginning. A daughter walking back through the door. A husband who reached for my hand in the quiet. A community of women I did not expect to find. And through all of it — God was still writing. Not the story I would have written for myself. Not the timeline

Every single month this week arrives like it always does.

And every single month I have to decide what I believe all over again. Not what I believed last month. Not what I believed when this journey started seven years ago. What I believe right now. Today. This cycle. This month I am holding hope a little more quietly. Guarded but not gone. Tired but sti

Seven years of this journey teaches you things about hope that nobody tells you

Seven years of this journey teaches you things about hope that nobody tells you at the beginning. It teaches you to hold it a little more quietly sometimes. To protect what is left after a hard month. To keep going even when your heart is guarded. That is where I am this month. Not defeated. Not

This week I stayed.

Stayed in faith when the answer was no. Stayed present for my daughter when my heart was heavy. Stayed in my marriage when grief makes distance easy. Stayed soft when hardness would have been so much simpler. I don’t say that to be impressive. I say it because staying was literally all I had this

This week was hard. The kind of hard that makes you go quiet.

So he chose us. Not a fancy dinner. Not a big plan. He came home and said let’s get a pool. Y’all. A kids pool. In the backyard. Just the two of us sitting in it in the middle of summer like we did not have a care in the world. At one point he looked at me and said — do you think we look like red

I don’t know how I do it. But every month I begin again.

Negative. Grieve. Rest. Begin again. Seven years of beginning again. And I want you to know — that is not weakness. That is the most ferocious kind of faith I know. I don’t begin again because I’m not tired. I begin again because He is still God. And His timing has never once been wrong. Even whe

What am I actually raising my daughter for?

Not the grades. Not the trophies. Not how she compares to someone else’s child or someone else’s family. When I get to heaven, God is not going to ask me about her GPA. He’s going to ask about her heart. Did she know Him? Did she love others? Did she share Him with the world around her? That is m

The test was negative. And I had to decide what I believe.

Not what I believe when it’s easy. Not what I believe when the answer is yes. What I believe when the house is quiet and the answer is not yet. Again. I believe He is still good. I believe this story is not over. I believe seven years of waiting has not been seven years of silence. He has been he

Seven years of this journey does something to your hope that’s hard to explain.

This week the answer was no. Again. And I felt it the way I always feel it — devastated. But not surprised. That’s what seven years looks like. You stop being shocked. But the grief doesn’t get smaller. It just gets quieter. I wrote this prayer for the woman who saw the negative this week and sti

I almost didn’t share this. But she said yes. And I think someone needed to hear

A woman found this page this week and liked every single post. Then she showed up in my comments and told me why. She was in her two week wait. She got her period. She was devastated. She said: I’m tired. I don’t know what to think. I didn’t have words that fixed it. Nobody does. But I prayed fo

Faith during the two week wait is the hardest faith I practice. 💛

Every day feels longer. Every symptom analyzed. Every hope immediately guarded against. But underneath all of it — one prayer: Lord, whatever comes, hold me in it. Not because I am not afraid. But because He is the only one big enough to hold both outcomes. The positive I am hoping

Before your first fertility or mental health appointment, make this one call. 💛

Call your insurance and verify your benefits. Ask your insurance: → Is this provider in network? → What is my deductible and how much have I met? → What is my coinsurance percentage? → Do I have fertility or mental health benefits? → Is prior authorization required? Ask your doctor’s off

7 years of trying. And we just found something new. 💛

My pituitary gland is causing issues. Relief. Grief. Hope. All at once. What the pituitary gland does: It controls FSH, LH and prolactin — the hormones that regulate your reproductive system. When it isn’t functioning correctly: → Ovulation becomes irregular → Hormones become imbalanced

She turned 10 yesterday. 💛

The little girl who chose me at 3 is now 10 years old. I love her with everything I have. And I long for her to have a sibling. One who loves her the way I love her. One who grows up right beside her. Both feelings on her birthday. As always. But I am still believing that sibling is com

Sitting anxiously this week as the two week wait nears its end. 🫶

The end brings its own kind of fear. The fear of another month of trying. The heartbreak that lives inside the anticipation. The excitement I can’t help but feel. And the heartbreak my husband carries in silence as we go through this battle together. He doesn’t always say it out loud. But

I have served in the nursery at my church for 6 years.🫶

Some Sundays it is healing and joyful. Some Sundays it is hard and sad. But the toddlers who climb into my lap just to sit for a moment — whether they want a book or just need a break — I am so happy to be there for them. I believe God placed me in that nursery for a reason. Maybe for the

Infertility can make you forget you married your best friend. 💛

The tracking. The timing. The trying. It turns the person you love most into a partner in a process. This month we chose differently. Date nights. Just us. No agenda. No timing. And I remembered why I chose him. Not just as a partner on this journey. As my person. My favorite pers

Getting ready for fall. 🫶

We are getting ready for fall. And infertility makes every season feel complicated. Fall means another year almost over. Another year of trying and hoping and waiting. But this year something feels different. My body. My marriage. My faith. I am not the same woman who started this 7 years ago. Gett

I started lymphatic massages for fertility. Here is what nobody told me. 💛

Your lymphatic system removes toxins and waste from your body. When it is sluggish — inflammation builds. And inflammation is the enemy of fertility. Lymphatic massage helps: → Move stagnant lymphatic fluid → Reduce inflammation → Support hormone balance → Improve circulation Combined wit
