When to stop

[cleophilia3]

I'm going to be 40 in October and we haven't conceived. It didn't help that I didn't marry until age 30 and we both agreed we didn't support going into debt for IVF.

Nothing is discernably "wrong" with our health, besides both our weights being in the obese category. However, both of us eat well and healthy, at home. We probably need to be more physically active due to desk job.

Each month for the last two years has just been a little bit more of a let down.

I know that the Lord's will is guiding all things, but sometimes it doesn't feel that way.

If anyone has any encouragement or advice for this time of acceptance, I would love to hear it.

If you are obese that can affect your fertility. My suggestion is to lose weight and try to be more active. Watch your ovulation times and leave it in God’s hands. I would not go for IVF either. Not because of the cost but the ethical issues involved in the procedure.

I didn't pray to get pregnant but did pray for a child

God let us to adopt
our daughter has been a true blessing

1 Samuel 1:27

we have heard of people who adopt and then go on to have babies conceived after adopting. Infertility is tough on a marriage, our son and his wife went 6 years before having a baby IVF. God bless you

yes, people said that to us "now you'll get pregnant"

adopting was not a lesser choice to becoming a family
it was an awesome choice
