My name is Liz Walker and my husband, Robert and I began trying to conceive over 4 years ago. I had 3 laproscopy's, a hyperscopy (to remove a fibroid out of my uterus), several rounds of clomid and then I was referred to an infertility spec. No one could ever figure out why I could not get pregnant everything looked perfectly fine. I had two rounds of IUI in Jan and Feb 06 and they did not work and we were going to skip a month and do IVF the next month (April) and I came up pregnant. The doctors were baffled and even said they could not take credit. I was pregnant for 5 months and 20 days and went into premature labor due to incompetent cervix on July 24, 2006 and at 5:03 pm our daughter Alivia Elizabeth- Grace was stillborn weighing 11.8 ounces. She was perfect!
Everyone said oh you'll get pregnant so fast now, you will be praying for the babies to stop coming. I believed that and to my utter surprise once again it has been difficult. I have went through 3 rounds of clomid and no success. I went back to the infertlity doctor and he suggest IUI again and if I don't turn up this month (with no assistance) pregnant then we will do the IUI.
Although, this has again been very heart breaking, I know God has a plan and I know it will knock our socks off. Beth Moore said it best in her book Get Out of That Pit: If God allowed you to be thrown into a pit, you weren't picked on; you were picked out. God entrusted that suffering to you because He has faith in you. Live up to it. All the Way Up!
Either I can be in the pit the devil wants me to be in or I can get out of it and look to God from which cometh my help. Keep you head up my sisters, God is not finished yet!  |

What a insight!! I can't wait for God to "knock my socks off". If only we can get of his way, and allow Him to take the lead.

That was one of the most interesting and unforgettable things someone said to me after David's death - "God has entrusted you with great suffering." That really changed my perspective. When someone entrusts you with something, that means they believe you will do the right thing with it. I still strive to do the "right" thing with this suffering. It is what God would have me do, and it is David's legacy.
Thanks for sharing that, Liz! |

Nobel and I were married 9 years when we went to see a specialist. Numerous procedures and surgeries later we were left out of space on the credit cards and were assuming we would not be parents. We were accepted into an IVF study through our doctors office. Isaac was born 5 weeks early on July 23, 2004, after a terribly difficult pregnancy but easy birth. Praise God! We discovered we were pregnant by God on Feb. 13, 2006. We were amazed at this miracle they said would never happen. I miscarried March 28, 2006. I still ache every day. I still feel empty inside. I still wonder why my exstatic state of just being mommy had to end. I am learning to be thankful how God has drawn me close during this time. I am beginning to look forward to doing the fun things in Isaac's future. Shortly after our 13 month mark I began to look into adoption. I was so excited. I did not tell anyone right away but obviously those around me saw my glow b/c I began to be asked if I was expecting again. Now the reality of how difficult it would be for us to adopt has set in and I am back to some dark times with tears.....and yet I do feel God is at work in me. MEND has helped us as we grieve and learn to live with grief and joy...another one of God's miracles that He gives to us.
