Infertility & TTC For Christian Women | Fertility, Conception, Trust In God, Ovulation Symptoms, Positive Pregnancy Test

SHOW NOTES “Has God Promised Me a Baby?”  Have you ever wondered if God has promised you a baby - especially when you’re tracking Fertility, noticing Ovulation Symptoms, and hoping each cycle might finally end in a Positive Pregnancy Test? It can start to feel like your Conception journey is carrying more meaning than just biology or timing. But what if the question itself isn’t as simple as it seems? What if some of the assumptions we make in infertility are shaping how we read Scripture, how we interpret longing, and even how we experience Trust in God in ways we haven’t fully noticed? In this episode, we gently explore why so many Christian women feel like there must be a promise of children somewhere in the Bible, and why stories like Sarah, Hannah, and Rachel can feel so personal when you’re in the middle of waiting. And as we sit with that tension, we start to ask a deeper question - what exactly has God actually promised, and what might we be unintentionally placing our hope in when it comes to Fertility and Conception?

I also share ten things you’re allowed to say — not just to ask questions, but to help you slow things down, understand where you stand, and make decisions that are wise, careful, and aligned with the Bible, your convictions, and your faith.

When Christ is risen, but you’re still waiting. Have you ever felt like what you believe about Christ being risen doesn’t quite match what you’re living through right now? You trust God. You know the promises of Scripture. But in real life, you’re still waiting—tracking cycles, noticing ovulation symptoms, and hoping for a positive pregnancy test that hasn’t come. So how do you hold those two things together? In this episode, we look at what Scripture says about the resurrection of Jesus and the reality of waiting. The Bible doesn’t dismiss that tension—it names it. It shows us a hope that is secure in trust in God, while also acknowledging that not everything has yet been fully restored, including areas of fertility and conception. We also explore why that tension doesn’t mean your faith is lacking, and how the resurrection reshapes the way you understand waiting itself. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep holding onto God when outcomes aren’t changing, this episode will help you rethink what it means to live with hope in the middle of waiting.

When you’re trying to conceive, most of your focus goes to ovulation symptoms, fertility treatments, and hoping that this cycle might finally lead to a positive pregnancy test. But what often gets overlooked is sleep — and how much it can affect your body during this season. If you’ve found yourself lying awake overthinking, symptom-spotting, or searching for answers late at night, you’re not alone. And over time, disrupted sleep can begin to impact your stress levels, hormones, and overall fertility in ways that aren’t always obvious. In this episode, I walk through how sleep affects conception, why late-night scrolling can work against your body, and what’s actually happening hormonally when you’re not getting enough rest. I also share practical ways to support better sleep, along with a grounded perspective on trust in God when your mind won’t switch off at night. This episode will help you understand how sleep fits into your fertility journey — and how small, realistic changes can support both your body and your peace of mind.

“Be Fruitful and Multiply” - The Pressure You Were Never Meant to Carry Do you ever hear “be fruitful and multiply” and wonder if you’re somehow falling short - especially when you’re longing for a baby and it’s not happening? It can start to feel like your fertility journey is tied to your purpose, leaving you questioning where you stand with God as you wait for a positive pregnancy test or notice ovulation symptoms that seem to lead nowhere. In this episode, I’ll unpack what this verse in Genesis actually means - and why it’s not a personal command you’re responsible to fulfil. We’ll look at how this subtle misunderstanding can create pressure, confusion, and doubt, especially when you’re trying to trust in God through the uncertainty of infertility. You’ll see how it's possible to separate your desire for a baby from your standing before God, so you can release the weight of feeling like you need to make something happen that’s ultimately out of your control. This is about finding steadiness again - learning to trust in God while navigating fertility and conception, and resting in the truth that your place with Him has never depended on whether or not you have a child.

Do you ever find yourself wondering if it’s time to see a doctor while trying to conceive, or if you should just keep waiting and trust in God? When fertility struggles stretch on, ovulation symptoms become something you analyse constantly, and each cycle ends without a positive pregnancy test, it can leave you feeling uncertain about what the “right” next step is. And that uncertainty can feel heavy. In this episode, I walk through how to approach that decision with both wisdom and faith. You’ll hear practical guidelines around when to consider medical or holistic advice and guidance for fertility and conception, situations where it may be worth investigating earlier, and what actually happens when you take that first step with a practitioner. This episode is about bringing clarity to a process that can feel overwhelming, helping you understand your body and your options, and reminding you that seeking answers and trust in God are not in conflict. You can take wise, practical steps forward while still holding your journey toward motherhood, and your desire for a positive pregnancy test in God’s hands.

What to do when someone tells you that you just need more faith to have a baby. Do you ever find yourself wondering if the reason you haven’t conceived yet might somehow be tied to your faith? When you’re navigating infertility, trying to conceive, tracking ovulation symptoms, and waiting month after month for a positive pregnancy test, comments from others about “just having more faith” can quietly plant deeper questions about whether you’re trusting God enough. In this episode, I look at what Scripture actually says about faith and why the idea that believing harder will lead to conception doesn’t hold up biblically. You’ll see the difference between bold prayer and presuming a specific outcome, how faith in the Bible is always connected to what God has actually promised, and why infertility is not evidence that your faith is lacking. This episode will help you see a different way - one where your longing for a child and your trust in God don’t compete with each other, so you can rest in what God has truly promised rather than measuring your faith by fertility, conception, or whether or not you have a baby in your arms.

Do you ever worry that your husband doesn’t feel the weight of infertility the way you do? That maybe he’s fine with the waiting, fine with the appointments, fine with tracking ovulation symptoms and waiting for a positive pregnancy test — and that somehow you’re carrying it alone? Certain thoughts can make you feel isolated or even resentful, adding weight to the fear that he’s checked out, or that your marriage is slowly drifting apart. In this episode, I unpack why those fears are so convincing — and why they often don’t reflect what he’s really feeling. We explore what men often carry silently through fertility struggles, how pulling back can be a way of coping, and how assumptions can quietly create distance in a marriage. I’ll show you how to see him differently, protect your connection, and trust in God together through the uncertainty of conception. Whether you’re navigating infertility, tracking ovulation, or waiting for a positive pregnancy test, this episode offers encouragement to understand him, stay connected, and strengthen your marriage even in the hardest seasons.   Lyndell xx Study referenced: Peterson, B.D., Newton, C.R., Rosen, K.H., & Skaggs, G.E.

Do you ever find yourself replaying your past, wondering whether old choices or painful seasons have somehow changed what God is willing to give you? When you’re navigating infertility, trying to conceive, and waiting month after month for a positive pregnancy test, deeper questions about worth, forgiveness, and trust in God can quietly surface. In this episode, we explore why infertility often leads us to search for meaning — even when there are medical explanations — and how that search can turn inward. You’ll learn what Scripture actually shows about fertility, conception, forgiveness, and grace, and why your story, your past, and your waiting do not disqualify you from God’s love or care. This episode will help  you see a different way—one where guilt and fear don’t dictate your story, so you can rest in what God actually says about your worth.

The Truth About Why Infertility Feels Like Punishment — And What the Bible Actually Says Do you ever worry that infertility is God’s way of punishing you? That maybe you haven’t surrendered enough, repented enough, or done something wrong—and that’s why the baby you long to conceive hasn’t come? Certain Bible verses can make that fear feel real, adding weight to the thought that God is withholding a blessing because of failure or hidden sin. In this episode, I unpack why those fears are so convincing—and why they don’t actually reflect God’s heart. We explore the thinking trap that says suffering equals punishment, and how that can leave you exhausted, anxious, and feeling out of control. I’ll show you how to step out of that spiral, find peace in the waiting, and trust in God through your fertility journey. This is about finding steadiness for your heart and mind—a place where you can stop trying to earn favor, stop running through endless “what ifs,” and start resting in the truth that God’s love, presence, and acceptance aren’t dependent on anything you’ve done. Whether you’re navigating infertility or longing for conception, this episode offers encouragement to trust God even when the answers feel delayed.

Do you ever find yourself analysing every twinge, ache, or shift in your body during the two-week wait — wondering if it’s PMS, implantation bleeding, or early pregnancy symptoms? When you’re trying to conceive, especially after infertility, PCOS, or fertility treatments like IVF, it can feel impossible not to track every ovulation symptom and search for signs that conception has happened or that a positive pregnancy test might be coming. In this episode, I walk through what’s actually happening hormonally after ovulation and why early pregnancy symptoms and PMS feel almost identical. You’ll learn how progesterone drives most of what you feel in this phase, why implantation usually doesn’t cause noticeable symptoms, and why timing — not symptom spotting — is what eventually brings clarity. This is about understanding your body, easing the mental spiral of the two-week wait, and learning to trust God in the space where answers are limited — so you can wait with a little more peace, even when uncertainty feels consuming.

Do you ever feel like infertility has completely shattered your confidence? When another negative pregnancy test comes and motherhood feel so out of reach, it's easy to feel like a failure—as a wife, a woman, maybe even as a child of God. And the voice in your head obsessing over ovulation symptoms and what you did wrong? It's probably making everything worse. In this episode, I talk about why fertility struggles demolish self-confidence and the surprising ways we unknowingly crush ourselves further. You'll hear about the perfectionism trap that makes you feel like you're never doing enough, why trying harder won't get you that positive pregnancy test you're desperate for, and what it actually means to trust in God when your body feels broken and your faith feels shaky. This is about finding something solid to rebuild on when your confidence is in pieces—something that doesn't depend on conception, your performance, or finally getting everything "right."   Lyndell xx    ⭐️ Leave a Review If you found this episode hopeful or helpful, I'd be SO grateful if you'd leave one or two sentences about what this podcast has meant to you.

Do you ever wonder if your desire for a baby has become too much, or if wanting a child so deeply means you’re replacing God? When fertility struggles make ovulation symptoms, cycles, and waiting feel all consuming, it’s normal to wonder if you are wanting a positive pregnancy test or a baby in your arms more than you want God. And that can burden you with guilt and shame. In this episode, I reflect on how to trust God while navigating the emotional highs and lows of trying to conceive. You’ll hear why deeply wanting a child isn’t wrong, why Scripture never treats longing as wrong, and how placing God first doesn’t mean shrinking your hope or grief. This episode is about holding your desire for conception in a safe place, finding steadiness in Christ, and learning how your longing can coexist with trust in God, hope, and faith—even if motherhood doesn’t happen the way you wanted..

Ever feel torn between saying yes or no to a baby shower while trying to conceive? When every invite feels heavy, it’s easy to carry guilt, worry, or even resentment—on top of the emotional rollercoaster of fertility struggles. In this episode, I dive into how to navigate these invitations while trusting in God, protecting your heart, and honoring your limits. We’ll talk about why it’s okay to skip a shower, how to show love without sacrificing your peace, and practical ways to survive the social pressure—even if you’re hoping for that positive pregnancy test. If you’ve ever wondered how to care for yourself, maintain friendships, and stay grounded in faith while walking the journey of conception, this episode is for you.

Has God Abandoned Me While Longing for a Baby? Do you ever wonder if God has forgotten you in your fertility journey, or if your prayers for conception will ever be answered? When the ache for a child is deep and the waiting feels endless, it’s understandable to find yourself questioning God’s presence and faithfulness. In this episode, I reflect on Psalm 20 and the tension between desire and uncertainty. You’ll hear why hope can feel confusing when we want specific outcomes, why God’s presence doesn’t depend on whether prayers are answered, and how longing and struggle do not mean you are abandoned or unloved. This episode is about finding steady hope in Christ, even when your journey feels heavy or positive pregnancy tests remain elusive.

Do you feel unsure about who to tell, what to share, or whether to stay quiet when it comes to your fertility journey? Between well-meaning questions, church conversations, family expectations, and online spaces that feel both supportive and exposing, deciding whether to speak up or stay private can feel surprisingly heavy when you are navigating fertility challenges or delayed conception. In this episode, I talk about why the pressure to share can feel so strong, why silence is not the same as secrecy or fear, and how trust in God helps us make wise, grounded decisions about whether or not you disclose your pain. I explore the difference between sharing from a place of peace versus sharing from pressure, and why you do not owe your story to everyone. You will hear practical guidance for discerning who is safe, when sharing may be helpful, and when protecting your heart is the wisest option. We also talk about how faithfulness is not measured by how much you disclose, why privacy can honour God, your marriage, and your capacity, and how Christ-centered hope steadies us even when our story remains unseen by others.

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying more than you were meant to while trying to conceive? Timelines, expectations, perfectionism, and even putting your life on hold can quietly pile up, leaving you exhausted, discouraged, and questioning where God is in the waiting.

If you’re trying to conceive and finding the experience heavier than you expected emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, this is for you. In this first episode, I share my personal infertility story. While your journey may look different from mine, many of the burdens are shared: the repeated hope and disappointment, the constant mental load, the strain on faith, and the quiet grief that often goes unseen. I give the raw details about how trying to conceive affected my emotions, my sense of self, and my relationship with God. This includes the shock of discovering that becoming a mother wasn’t just hard, but tangled with medical risk, closed adoption doors, and decisions that forced us to weigh life, loss, and faith all at once. I also share how infertility brought a deep wrestling that reshaped how I thought about faith, suffering, and hope in Christ. My hope is that as you listen, you recognize your own experience reflected in this conversation, that the emotions you’re carrying make sense, that others have walked this road too, and that even in the heaviness of infertility, you are not alone.

  Are you trying to conceive, doing everything you can, hoping this month might finally be the one with the positive pregnancy test, while quietly wondering if life can still feel meaningful if motherhood doesn’t happen the way you dreamed? Do you ever ask, “Will I still have purpose? Will my life still be whole?” Maybe you’re caught between letting go and letting God while tracking ovulation symptoms and doing everything you can to become a mother. But you’re bone weary, and the questions, the decisions, the emotions just keep piling up. You’re praying hard, reading your Bible, putting on a brave face at church, but inside, you’re running on empty—worn down, anxious, and wondering how much longer you can hold it together. Maybe you're questioning your worth, your decisions, even your faith. You trust God, but some days you quietly ask, “Is He really hearing me? Or has He forgotten?” Especially in a church full of growing families, it can feel like you’ve been overlooked. If this is you, know that I see you because I’ve been there. I’m Lyndell Renae, a Jesus-loving wife, mum, and Christian fertility coach and mentor, with a background in nursing and women’s ministry. I’ve walked through grief, anxiety, decision fatigue, and deep spiritual wrestling. My journey was messy and imperfect. Some days, I didn’t know if I was holding on to God or just barely holding it together. But those very struggles led me to the anchors I needed. Anchors that helped me think clearly, choose wisely, and build trust in God and Christ-centered hope, hope that steadied me not just in the midst of infertility, but beyond it too. Whether you’re navigating IUI, IVF, miscarriage, embryo adoption, secondary infertility, or trying naturally, you are so welcome here. It’s my sincere hope to provide you with honest, gospel-shaped conversations and real stories, both from my own journey and from women who’ve walked similar roads, sharing what helped, what we’d do differently, and the truths that held us steady, so your path feels lighter, more supported, and grounded in Christ. We’ll talk about emotional well-being, simple conception tips, and biblical truth that helps you make wise, godly decisions even when the outcome is unknown. If you’re tired of walking this road alone, done pretending you’re okay, and ready to refresh your hope and renew your mind, your marriage, your relationships, your life -  then you’re in the right place. You don’t have to carry this alone anymore. Christ goes before you, and I’m right here beside you every step of the way.
