25 | Trying to Conceive? 8 Myths That May Be Quietly Hurting You

Christian Fertility Myths, Conception, and Trust in God What if some of the things around Fertility, Conception, and waiting for a Positive Pregnancy Test aren’t actually as straightforward as they’re often made out to be? In this episode, I unpack seven myths Christian women can encounter while trying to conceive — from irregular cycles and Ovulation Symptoms, to pressure around timing, fears around age, and the subtle idea that infertility must mean something is wrong with your faith. There’s a tension in this season between doing what’s practically helpful with Fertility, and the emotional weight of waiting month after month when nothing seems to change. And how easily that space can start to shape marriage, expectations, and the way infertility is carried day to day. And through it all, the conversation keeps coming back to Trust in God — not as a way of explaining every outcome, but as something steady to hold onto when the waiting is long and the answers aren’t clear.
