A Few Words about Hope
After spending some time reading some of the comments on this blog and interacting with some of your ideas, something occurred to me:
Part of the reason you’re here is to get a glimmer of hope.
Yes, you want to learn about fertility. Yes, you want to hear about ways that you can increase your chances of conceiving. You want to have a better understanding of what’s involved in the process of conception. But above all, you want to be told that it’s possible.
You want to know that you can overcome your fertility struggles.
Now, I have to be realistic. I have to admit to you that there are no guarantees in life. I don’t always understand the kinds of obstacles that are in my path, and you don’t always understand the obstacles in yours.
I also have to be realistic when it comes to the fertility struggle. False hope is, in the end, no hope at all.
But, with all of that said, I want to offer a word of hope today. I want to let you know a few important things. You need to keep these things in mind and hold them close to your heart:
Often, in life, what seems impossible isn’t.
Just because you struggle with PCOS, or you’re getting started later in life doesn’t mean you won’t be able to conceive. The statistics are just statistics – they don’t dictate your fate.
Sometimes, nature needs a helping hand.
Few women today have to accept infertility as a fact of life. There are so many possibilities, and we understand more and more about fertility as time goes on. What prevents you from becoming pregnant today may not prevent you from becoming pregnant tomorrow.
Even when medicine fails, there are alternatives.
Yes, you need to go through all of the medical hoops when trying to conceive. But sometimes, you do that and still wind up without any success. There are many options – including but not limited to things like herbal remedies, homeopathic treatments and the like. Even faith probably plays a role somewhere.
So, don’t despair. Don’t give up. Keep trying. Come at the problem from every possible direction, and when you’ve done that go out and find more angles. Don’t just accept infertility as your fate. It may well be your fate, but don’t go down without a fight.

Indeed HOPE is restored! I and my husband have been trying to conceive for the past five (5) years without even a miscarriage. it has been so difficult and tensions are always high. Hopes have not been stable. I am so happy that you were able to talk about hope. I always thought is all about medication. Now, i refuse to accept infertility as my fate. I will fight the fight by keeping hope alive. And i pray that God will help all the couples that are fighting and keeping their hopes alive. thank you so much.
even after 4 miscarriages i will never give up hope,stay strong everyone!xxx
My husband and I have been trying for more than 3 yrs now. I had one pregnancy resulting in a heartbreaking miscarriage at 17wks and life just no longer feels the same. Now more than anything I needed some comforting words…….THANK YOU!!!!! I will not go down without a good fight………..neither should all those out there!!!!!!!
Thank you for giving me hope. I dont want to give up easily but so difficult and Im sure so many out there can identify with me. All I have is now is HOPE and PRAYER.
Hi, this indeed itself is a ray of hope for all those who are trying to conceive. I strongly feel that one should not lose hope/faith at any given situation in life as without hope/faith life would definitely come to a standstill. I wish good luck to all those couple who are trying to conceive (includes me) and my prayers will always be for everyone. Lets all believe in ourselves!
My Husband and I have been trying for more than a year now. We do get depressed, frustrated at times, but the only thing that keeps us going is…Hope!!!
My husband and inlaws are really very supportive and i am thankful to God for that. But I can very well realize the pain that most couples TTC are going through.
I hope God answers the prayers of all of us and last but not the least…let us not lose Hope!!!
