I prayed for this child and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. 1 Samuel 1:27

Prayers for positive thinking...

Well, today was embryo transfer. We ended up with one mid-grade embryo...and one that was not really grade worthy. However, both were transfered today. Obviously it was a huge let down that we didn't get better results. Dr. H. seems to think that there could be something wrong with my ovaries. I have no idea what that could be...it seems they've tested me for everything under the sun...but she really expected me to respond better than I have considering "on paper" everything has been great. She did say that she has had patients get pregnant from these quality of embryos. SO.........the bottom line is...while the odds aren't probable....it is still POSSIBLE for me to get pregnant from this transfer today. Without having any embryos left over to freeze...that means if I don't get pregnant from this cycle that is the end of the road for this shared risk plan. Will we go through another round of IVF? I have no idea. For now we are trying to just focus on this current cycle. I go back next Wednesday for my blood test to find out if I'm pregnant. Every part seems like the "hardest part"....but this definitely is. Jason and I have done everything possible we can to aide in the success of this...its all in God's hands now.

I am off work all of this week for rest, rest, and more rest. Please pray for my attitude to stay positive. It's so easy right now to just cry and already say it's not going to work...but I know deep down that I believe in miracles and there very well could be one happening inside me at this very moment. I'm just so afraid of getting let down again. But this is part of the process....I have to just trust His plan.

  1. Try to stay positive! I know it has to be so hard. You have a ton of people praying for you & Jason. God is in control.

    Thank you for sharing your journey.

  2. Oh Kara, I am so sorry! I believe in miracles and I believe in God's perfect timing, although we don't always understand it. I will pray that God will hold you and your body in His hands as you cling to the embryos inside you. Keep praying and know I am here if you need me. I do understand the pain (see my June and July posts from last year)

  7. Hey Kara! I will be praying for you all week. I hear your heart and I can empathize with your urge to feel hopeless.It has been those moments in MY life that God has then opened a door. Just when I thought "life sucks, poor pathetic me" he showed me how wonderful he could be. Not that you are thinking that-but I want you to know I care for you and you're in my thoughts.

  8. Kara, I can't imagine how tough all this stuff must be for you. Please know that we all care about you and what you're going through during this time. I'll send up some prayers for you today.

    Much love, kid.

  9. Kara,

    It can be so extremly hard to go what you are going through right now. One of my best friends went through the same thing and after much trying, they had a miracle daughter. I will say prayers for you that it happens. If it doesn't, know there are other options out there for you to become a Mom. Many positive prayers.

  10. Kara, anyone who wants to be a mother this badly will make an AMAZING one when the time finally comes. I know things are tough right now, but I know that when you finally have your child in your arms, it will make it all the more worth it.
    Hope for the best,

  14. Hey Kara,
    I went through infertility, although not to the extent you are. It is such a roller coaster. Just hold on to your faith...you are doing all you can.

    I read something in a book when I was going through this that said to think about adoption as an option before exhausting all the science. It said to consider if you want to be pregnant or to have a child. Once I read that, I realized that I would have a child...I just wasn't sure which way it would happen. Gave me great comfort.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Whenever I feel down and things look tough, I repeat this in my head over, and over, and over again....

    "I can do all things through God who strengthens me."

    God Bless you guys and your time of trials, whatever the result...God will make it GREAT!

    Blessings, Wayne

  18. Thank you for writing this blog...there are a lot of women out there going through the same thing, and it helps to hear about someone else's strength and courage. We have been trying to have a child for 11 months, with no results. I am a little ways behind you in my journey, having just started Clomid, but I can still feel your anxiety, as I am waiting for Monday to find out if it worked for us. Best of luck to both of us, I will be praying for you over the weekend!

  30. Stay positive! Here's an interesting story for you: My dad had a vasectomy when he was younger because he had two kids too early and he didn't want anymore. But when he met my mom, they wanted a kid, so he had a REVERSE vasectomy. I had a low chance of being conceived. But here I am, and now I'm going to tell you don't lose hope! A baby's soul is up in heaven and waited to be put into a baby that you're going to love more than your own life.

  31. I was 32 when I had my first born. Right before I got pregnant, I had pretty much given up on the idea of having kids. I know it feels like it's never going to happen, but all things happen in their time. Just relax and try not to stress too much. Keep the faith!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Dear Kara,

    Knowing that I might have to go through the same process in a couple of years, I'll send a prayer for you up to heaven and burn you a candle, so you have some light to look forward to, at the end of this dark tunnel.

    Good luck! You're doing amazing!

  33. I'm sending postive vibes to you and your husband this week. I'm sorry that you are going through this tough time, but I hope that everything works out for you in the end. You seem like a very strong person, and I wish you all the best.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be." Romans 4:18 -- I'm praying for you and your husband. Stay strong and never let your eyes drop from Heaven. If I may suggest a song to you--Casting Crowns "Praise You In This Storm". It's about five years old at this point, but an incredibly powerful song when you're facing a tremendous struggle. I wish you all the best for a healthy, happy and blessed, beautiful child to call your own.

    You show so much strength and spiritual beauty in this blog post; no doubt you would be a great mother. I am praying for your miracle, but beyond that I am praying for you and your peace of mind. Whether or not this round works out the way you would like, keep your chin up- there will be more opportunities.
    Stay strong and keep pushing through, you are not alone-- there are many of us out here crossing our fingers and praying for you.

  39. I very nearly started crying when I heard about how much you've been doing to try to have a child. I think it's amazing. And you seem so strong; you seem like a fighter.

    I know that it's probably hard right now, but I, too, believe in miracles. I'll be thinking of and praying for you and your husband for this week. I believe that it's all going to work out in the end. I really do.

    You are loved more than you'll ever know.

  40. My own mum went through two miscarriages before my brother and I were born, so you never know what's going to happen. Try not to worry, and please rest in the knowledge that God will ALWAYS have your best interests at heart, whatever the route to get there.
    God bless you both, love and prayers.

  41. Kara,
    This certainly is the toughest type of roller coaster of waiting and hoping and wondering what will happen. Your faith sounds strong although it might not seem like it at times. Hold fast to your belief in God's plan and you will not be disappointed in the end. Accept love from those around you to fill you back up so you can keep going on this journey to being a mother. Your blog is touching and helpful to so many people struggling with the same daily heartbreaks. Thank you.

    And Fearless, the Max Lucado book, is great.

  46. Whether or not your body can become pregnant, you are capable of being a mother. If God has gently decided that your place in His plan requires your womb not to quicken, He may have decided that your heart will quicken instead. Do not forget of those thousands of children, infants, waiting inside orphanages for a loving mother just like you. Maybe God is leading you through this so that when you are a mother, in whatever form that takes, it will mean all the more to you, and to your children.

    Having said that? Have faith your womb will quicken, for the child within you will feel your expectation, and awaken.

    You seem like a beautiful person and I have faith in you, your husband, and your future children, no matter whose womb they come from. God loves you, and I love you. *hug* You're going to be all right.

  47. Dear Kara,

    I, too, have been an infertility patient. I know how bad it sucks. Know that I've prayed for you.

You will be a mom, and you will be great!

    So many couples I know have had similar struggles and each one has had their own journey. Some choose adoption, which is a miracle in and of itself. Others stop trying and miraculously get pregnant. Others are doing what you are doing and it works out.

    I know things must feel really rough right now, but just know you have the support of everyone in this world and that we are all so proud of you for going through something this incredible. You sound like you would be a great mother so don't let the desire to be a biological mother stop you from becoming a cookie-baking, boo-boo- fixing, all encompassing mother figure.

    Please keep your hope, AND your Faith! It took me 7 years of trying (3 of them "intensely") but I now have 2 beautiful little girls! It was so hard waiting and wondering and wishing, I know. But I had to learn it wouldn't happen one min. before HE decided it would. So, don't give up, know it's possible! I will include you and Jason in my prayers.

  66. Hi Kara and Jason

    You don't know me but I'd like to send you both many positive vibes your way! I hope you get some time to relax because it seems like you two have done everything you know to do so now you just have to relax and let whatever is meant to be be. And try to laugh and smile a lot, who knows maybe it will convince the baby soul that is waiting for you what a fun and positive world it has to look forward to and it will want to hurry up and get to you! ;o)

    Sending many prayers and positive vibes your way!

  71. Kara, i know that by this time, you might be a little tired of reading so many nice and positive comments. I know that maybe my words won't change or solve the hard trial that your husband and you are going through. I wish i could see the future and tell you what's going to happen but nobody can. It is indeed a difficult time for you both, physically, mentally and most of all emotionally.

    Sometimes we don't understand God's will, but trust always, that He is holding you, or even better, carrying you during this hard time.. Most of the time, we are so blind, just trying to reach what we want when we want; and we don't realize that he is with us. Don't give up, trust in His power and in the power of praying.

    i want to share with you this verse:
    "Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart."
    Psalm 37:3,4.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Kara-
    Through this trying time, it's wonderful to have God with you every step of the way. If it is His will for you to get pregnant and bring a child into this world, it will happen. But everything happens for a reason and it is all according to His plan. Sometimes it's good to just cry and let it all out. Forced positivity is worse than natural negativity. It's all part of the growth process. God bless you, I will be praying for you.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I'm praying for you! I also had fertility problems...I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. My husband and I went through fertility treatments for 4 years before we just decided to quit. I couldn't handle it. And then I received a message from God and I knew without question that things would work out. A month later, I found out I was pregnant. No drugs, no treatments, no doctors. Just God. You just never know how or when it's going to happen, but keep that hope and faith because it will carry you through.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Sending Love and Prayers your way! You are so brave. I can't wait to be a mother someday, but I do not know if I would have the strength to go through what you have done. Peace be with you and in in always!

  75. Hey Kara.

    First off I'd like to say that your hope, faith, optimism, and desire to be a mother put a huge smile on my face. In this crazy messed up world you're a breath of fresh air to this struggling swimmer.

    I really do hope that that spark of life grows within you. From what I've read I believe you deserve a child and I'm sure God does indeed have a plan in store for you. If however this cycle doesn't come through for you I ask that you have faith just one more time and give it a last go. Of course I'm only 18 so I'm not completely familiar with the details of this process.

    Also, don't allow yourself to become disheartened. No matter what may come, He is with you. It may be that you are destined to adopt a child in serious need, or to help those stuck in the foster system. Parents like you two would set any child along a bright future. For all you know you might take in our next president or great scientist or the player to bring the Knicks to victory.

    I can't say what's truly in store for you, but I send a prayer of greatness, now and tomorrow, over your lives.

    From a boy who hopes he and his girlfriend can make it like you two have,
    Kadeem.

  77. Hello Kara,
    What you've been through sounds like it is so difficult. You've gone through such a long journey. God has a plan and there's a reason for all of this, Kara. At times it may seem like there isn't. But I want to encourage to keep going. Be strong, I know you have it in you. You can come through this. Remember God's plan is better than any plan we can conjure up.
    I do hope it's in God's plan to bless you with a child. But if it's not, I pray you can accept that fact. I will be praying for you and your husband, Kara. God bless you.
    With Love,
    Miranda

  84. It is an amazing thing to see faith such as yours. Like it says in Psalm 55:22, 'Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.' I know God will sustain you through all of this and if it is his will, bless you with a beautiful healthy baby. My prayers are with you, stay strong in Christ.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I think it is amazing, when I hear that people's dreams are to raise a family and have children of their own. In my honest opinion, having problems becoming pregnant strengthens the family bond between the husband and wife, and also for any children they might possibly have.

    Please bear with me though, and this is only a suggestion, but have you considered adopting a child? Adopting is NOT giving up hope of becoming pregnant, but choosing an alternative, and offering love and a second chance to a child already born. Spending thousands of dollars for something that hasn't happened yet, I'd like to see you move your hope onwards, because it is very obvious that you, Kara, and your husband have a lot of love to give.

    I hope you take no offense by this suggestion. I am only sixteen years old, still struggling to find my own self in this world, but it breaks my heart to see/hear of orphanages and unloved children.

    My mother has shown me that motherhood is the best gift you can offer a child. Everyone wants to be loved sometime in their life. And I know that your future child/children will be very much loved. Please don't give up hope. Because out there, there's a child waiting to be loved.

    From, someone young, but someone who knows the full extent of family pain and suffering. God Bless you greatly for the many years to come.

  96. Kara,

    You are in my prayers. I've been dealing with a couple of very, very bad ovarian cysts recently and have been in and out of the doctors for months. There's been hints of infertility and I know how deep the fear sits. I'll be praying for good news, peace, and comfort, and for a persistent hope. :)

    "He chose the times set for us and the exact places where we should be. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us." Acts 17:26

  97. It is so hard to remember sometimes that God's timing is perfect and that we need to give him control. I will pray for strength and patience for you! :)

  98. Kara, I pray that you are comforted as God guidees this area of your life with His mercy and wisdom. I know how hard this process is as I was told my entire life (by doctors and specialists) that I'd never have children and now have 3! He is grace filled!
    You are doing all you can and know that a lot of people are in your corner and praying for you and Jason. Stay strong.
