I've spent my life taking care of other people's children....

I've worked with children and young adults with developmental disabilities, I've also nannied for a couple of families. It feels like my entire life has been devoted to helping kids, now, when I want a family of my own - I am infertile. I am 41 years old and have a wonderful family - I am starting my first IVF treatment and am asking for prayer that it will be successful. My husband and I want to share our love with a child, I've loved each child that I have worked with, but I want that special bond with a child of my own.

Update - 2 months ago:

Tomorrow is the day I go for the ultrasound to see if the fertility drugs are working - please pray for many mature eggs that can be harvested.

Update - 2 months ago:

Praise Jesus - the ultrasound went VERY well today. The tech said that at this stage of my cycle, they would have been happy to see 4 or 5 growing follicles at my age. I have 10 growing follicles and 2 that are already mature!! Please continue to pray the the follicles mature and that several will be able to be harvested next week. Thank you again so much for all of your prayers.

Update - 2 months ago:

Your prayers have been so helpful, we have 10 eggs that have matured and they will be harvested on Wednesday. Please continue to pray that embryos will result and will be able to be implanted on Saturday.

Update - 2 months ago:

The egg harvest didn't go as well as I ahd hoped, only 3 eggs were able to be taken - I can't say how disappointed I am. Not we have to wait until Friday to see if any of them formed embryos. Lord I ask that enough eggs were harvested and that we will be able to implant embryos. Please help me from getting to discouraged and help to to keep my faith.

Update - 2 months ago:

I spoke with the doctor this morning, none of the embyros survived - I am devastated. Thank all of you for your prayers. I need to take a couple of weeks to breathe and figure out if we will try again. My biggest hurdle right now is that I feel as though God is punishing me for something.

God has promised repeatedly, ' I will never leave you nor forsake you." But God has not promised " you will always feel my presence." It is a test of faith...
I'll continue to pray for you sister...

Hail Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.

So That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

CherylO - 2 months ago: Thank you for your prayer.

You said your life has been devoted to mothering others. They were all "families" of your own. Thank God for all those blessings. I hope you the best.
