Shortly before our third anniversary we started talking about having kids. We felt ready and excited to start a family. I just assumed that we’d probably get pregnant right away, but that didn’t happen. Eventually one month passed and became two, two became three, and three months eventually became a year.
After a year Jaron and I decided it was time to talk to my doctor. I went in for a yearly checkup and told her about our difficulty getting pregnant. She said that isn’t uncommon but she referred me to an OBGYN who deals with fertility issues. We had hope.
After a couple of months I finally got in to see the OBGYN. She immediately began test... blood work, hormone checks, ultrasound, etc. Unfortunately with each test, came a bill, but we thought “it’ll all be worth it.” Every test I had came back normal. Everything was working like it’s supposed to plus I’m young, so my doctor just thought our timing must be off. Until one day I had an HSG done. Unfortunately the results weren’t great, she saw some things that concerned her. So she referred me to an actual fertility specialist.
In late November, after mine and Jaron’s 6th anniversary, I went in and saw the fertility specialist. He looked at my test results, immediately did another test, called me into his office and explained to me that we would most likely never be able to have kids on our own. Long story short, I have something wrong with my tubes.
I tried holding back the tears, but if you really know me, you know that I’m not good at that. I started crying like a baby and I felt a feeling that I had never really felt before. It sounds kind of silly, but the closest thing I can use to explain it is that it felt like a death.
All my life I've dreamed of becoming a mom. I’ve always loved kids. I grew up babysitting, helping with nursery and children’s events at church, and now I’m a teacher. But I was just told that I may never be a mom unless I can come up with a lot of money.
Now here we are. I tell our story for a few reasons. 1. I hope that you never have to go through this, but if you do, I hope that our story can be some kind of an encouragement to you. I see you, I know what you’re going through, and I want to help however I can. God’s not finished working on our story yet and he’s not done with yours either. 2. I want to help bring more awareness to infertility. It’s more common than people think. Did you know 1 in 8 couples struggle with infertility? Yet most insurance companies don’t cover any cost associated with this. And 3. We need help. We are so blessed to have so many kind, compassionate, loving family (including our church family) and friends. We have been so encouraged by people’s kind words, thoughts, and especially prayers. I have felt every one of them, they have carried me through this difficult time and they have given me hope at times when I honestly thought there wasn’t any.
After some time, thought, and a lot of prayer, Jaron and I have decided that we want to move forward. We want to have a child. We believe in a God who is much bigger than any of our circumstances. He is powerful and He can do all things. He can even perform miracles from healing the blind to the sick to even giving someone the ability to have a child. Like he did with Sarah (Genesis 21:1-6). We still have faith and hope that one day God may send me a child naturally, but we also believe that God has given us the knowledge, skill, and technology possible to have kids in other ways.
Jaron and I have decided that we would like to try invetro. The doctor feels very confident that I will have success having a child this way. However, it is extremely expensive. Jaron and I have been saving money and we have about half of it. However, we aren’t getting any younger and we’d like to start this process as soon as we can. If you are able to help us in any way and be apart of our story and something so incredibly special in our lives, we’d greatly appreciate it.
To everyone who reads this, shares it, and/or donates to our fund: Thank you!! Thank you for spending time reading about our story, thank you for thinking about us and praying for us, thank you for sharing this, and thank you for helping in whatever way you can.
We love and appreciate every one of you. We serve a mighty God who can do all things and we believe in our hearts that God will give us a child when the time is right, however he sees fit. His timing and ways are perfect, all we have to do is have faith and believe. He is a Way Maker, Miracle Working, Promise Keeper— My God that is who You are!
If you find yourself in a similar situation and you need to talk someone, please reach out to us. We would love to try and help in any way we can. We believe that part of our journey through this is to help others somehow the way others have helped us.
Thank you again to everyone! May God bless you!
