Some of the things I have learned thru this process is that the devil likes chaos and when you are having infertility issues it causes chaos. One of the most important things to do is to get grounded in the word of God and lots of prayers. I found that is the only thing that has helped me thus far and there would be many times that I would hear from a friend or family member not knowing what I am feeling that day say "the Lord had you on my heart and I have been praying for you." You do not know how that makes me feel knowing the Lord has not abandoned me he is reminding me daily that he knows my heart and will heart that brokenness of it. Also secondly guard your marriage. I can't say enough about that the devil likes to use this as a wedge and as this time it may even be good to speak to a counselor. Infertility is hard and as a woman we are emotional and for a man they want to fix and with this they can't fix so it get tough in your marriage. I have to say that we had our ups and downs but we are closer now than ever and I love my husband dearly for putting up with an emotional mess that I have been for the past couple of years. Repeat love on each other more than ever and be on guard because marriages are under attack and with a biggie like this protect it with the Holy Spirit wrapped around your home. Also my friend recommended a website for me to check out called Sarah's Laughter www.sarahs-laughter.com/ and I am subscribed to a daily email of encouragement and they also have a great bible study too that I am doing. Lastly I have found a support group in my area for infertility and it has been great because I can go there and talk to other women about how I feel or what tests are being done, etc. and they understand exactly what I am going thru. One thing I have learned is that people don't really understand what you are going thru unless they too have been thru infertility and when I would participate in that group I no longer felt alone and I knew that there are other women that have the same feelings as me that truly understand the pain and we all get to love on each other.
