God Keeps Every Single Promise He Makes

Welcome to our blog! My prayer is for God to give my husband and I a child, and for Him to give comfort (and a precious baby)to all those who are struggling with infertility. God made us a promise and I KNOW He will keep it.

God Knows What We Need

Just a short follow up.... our dr. called this morning. Finally, a little bit of good news. Praise God! Chris' test showed that everything is pretty much in normal range.. still kind of low, but normal. That's good news, right?
The dr. told us that really there is no reason why we can't conceive with those test numbers. He suggested that I might want to go back to a fertility dr. that specializes in females. Another option, he said, was for us to do a few more rounds of IUIs (inseminations).
I have been checked from head to toe (or should I say from head to, well, I won't go there~lol)! Everything checks out with me. And for the inseminations, I just don't think I'm ready to do that again right now. Maybe in the future.
As for right now, I think I'm just gonna pray and hope that God gives us a miracle!!! Patience is a virtue.

Psalms 37:5 Commit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.

I Give Up..... Or Do I??

In June, Chris went back to the dr. to see if the meds were working. In the meantime, while waiting on results, I started to get my hopes up, once again. I was convinced that I had already conceived. By my calculations, I was two days late. BUT, by the app on my phone, I was not late. Guess who was right? You guessed it, technology.I guess it is a smart phone :) Yet another disaappointment.
The drs asst. called and gave us the results of Chris' test ; some things are improving, some are not. I was (and am) disappointed. Why can't we get some kind of really good news, even if we don't conceive? A piece of good news would be helpful. The dr. is supposed to call us this coming Tuesday.
I over analyze things. I always have and always will. That's just me. Part of me wants to stop all of this; the drs. visits, the ovulation predictors, the tests, and most importantly the stress! But part of me thinks that would be giving up on God, and I am not going to do that. But when is enough, enough?
Then, I wonder if it is time to begin other routes such as IVF. But how do I know this is God's will for us? What if now is not when God wants us to have a baby? How would we get the money? And what if failed? I know a person shouldn't worry, that's why we have God.
God wouldn't let me go through all of this for nothing, would He? I just don't believe He would. I told Chris that God has spoken to me and told me that we would have a child. I have a bedroom full of hand me downs that shows I believe Him. Chris says, He doesn't know what God's plan is, and I shouldn't over analyze everything, and not having a baby right now, may be a blessing of some kind.

I want to keep faith, but sometimes I do get scared. I think about the baby names that we have picked out, that we may never get to use. I think about the room that Chris calls the "baby" room that may never have a baby sleep in it. I think about all of the traditions that I would love to start, and may never get to.
But with all of this..... I have to stand on the promises of God and keep telling myself that He keeps His promises.
Please keep praying for us, not only that God will give us a child, but that He will comfort us and let us make the right decisions, for us to follow the path He has chosen for us.

Hebrews 10:36 KJV: For ye have need for patience, that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
