What do you do to stay encouraged...

Question

I feel like yet again this is not my month... some days are harder than others we've  been trying for a little over 2 years... and I feel that tomorrow my period will start and I want to stay positive...

Answer

I stay encouraged by trying to stay focused on God and others. I would love to choose exactly when "baby" happens for my husband and I...it would have happened already lol...but deep down I know if I trust God with my deepest desires He will take care of it all. I know its easier said then done but anxiety does not add a single good thing to our life or change or situation. We may not be able to change it, but in the meantime we can thrive in our current situation without children. It's like the engagement period before marriage...a lot of people want to rush past it to marriage, but that time is special in itself. One of my best friends just got pregnant after five years of TTC.  She spent plenty of that time struggling but then surrendered to God's timing and focused on being content with what she had. Now that she is pregnant she is estatic, but also surprisingly told me, "it is amazing laura, but it doesnt define me...it isn't everything. God is eveyrthing."   I believe she will be a better mother because of the time spent waiting but trusting in God which is very hard to do. My advice is to trust God's timing and be thankful for the blessings you have KNOWING in His perfect timing, He will bless you. It will come!!! Trust God, it will come :-)

Answer

I've been trying for two years myself and I'm trying not to get my hopes up but my period didn't show today and I have not had any PMS symptoms and they're like clockwork for me. I'm holding my breath until tomorrow. To keep myself encouraged I just convince myself it will happen when it's time. God forbid it never happens but at least I have one child.

Answer

We have been trying for 2 years too. At this point I'm considering how much longer I want to try, without medical help. (I have PCOS so I'm technically infertile.) Giving myself the freedom to consider our other options helps me right now.

I also like to think there's a reason it's taking us so long to conceive. Perhaps there's a specific child we're supposed to have, and it's just not his or her time yet.
