you have 4 girls. I'm 39 and have been unable to get pregnant at all for 15 yrs. It's the worst. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. My brother in law says "why don't you just adopt?" like that just solves everything. I hate it and wish it would go away.

i'm beyond broken. I'm sick of it all

@l87garcia Well, I wouldn't want to dash your hopes but this video ignores those who don't ever have children and leaves it at that. And it really makes me feel I'm not wanted in the Christian world--and I am a Christian who feels ostracized by other Christians. How else am I supposed to feel?

@rrmjvand i dont want to be harsh, but it is really hard to hear sucessfull stories sometimes. especially when your not their but sometimes it kinda gives a little small bit of hope. in the middle of all the experianced, im speakin for me im there.

Lots of negative comments below, but this video is wonderful. Yes, it is easier to look back and realize the importance of a painful journey once you're done, but I'm still in my journey and this reminded me that God loves me and He will NEVER leave me. Thank you for this video and I pray that it touches more women as well!!

Hi jsandlin08 and Lalahbug--do you notice how the women who are finally "blessed" with children are clueless when it comes to ladies like us--who never have children. I met a lady this week who told me she was so traumatized by her infertility + her sister, cousin, and she were all pg at the same time She lost her- the others didn't--and everybody expected her to be happy for THEM!. The myopia is just incredible.

[Lalahbug]

O.k....so I'm at work right now...and I'm finding it very hard to hold back my tears listening to these women. I am a woman who desperately wants a baby and I cannot conceive why...why My God hasn't given us one yet. I'm saved, I love God, I have a husband so why...why make me suffer this way...I just don't understand..but thnks for this video

[jsandlin08]

I hear ya rrmjvand. I've been struggling on and off for over 10yrs. Im still doing infertility treatments. It sucks! I hate it and its the hardest thing a couple can go through. Im just wondering if I'll ever have one of those success stories.

[rrmjvand]

So easy to say AFTER success. I am 12 years post=hysterectomy. Could you say the same thing if you hadn't had those kids?

[rrmjvand]

HELLOOOOOOOO. Nine years of infertility, two failed adoptions, one miscarriage... Giving onesself up doesn't mean a pregnancy will happen. I am so disgusted with these "success" stories...mine never happened. I am 58 and childless NOT by choice. I HATE Mother's day...it's not even scriptural. It's a Hallmark "holiday." Never do we learn what to do when it never happens.
