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. Lyndell xx

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."

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..

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. In this episode, I talk honestly about four things to consider letting go of in 2025—not because your longing for a baby doesn’t matter, but because God never intended you to carry this season alone. We’ll explore how releasing these burdens can create space to breathe, to live faithfully in the present, and to anchor your hope in Christ, even when the waiting feels long and painful. I pray this episode meets you gently right where you are.

Do you feel like Christmas is impossible this year, or overwhelming just thinking about it? Between family gatherings, church events, and social media filled with pregnancy announcements and picture-perfect celebrations, it can feel like there is nowhere to rest when you are navigating infertility, fertility challenges, or grief over delayed conception.

In this episode, I talk about why Christmas can feel so heavy, why faithfulness is not about doing it all or pushing past your limits, and how trust in God can bring steady hope in the middle of weariness, disappointment, and unmet expectations.

You will hear practical ways to navigate the season wisely, from setting boundaries and protecting your heart to showing up in ways that honour God without draining your peace, and why your grief, limits, or quiet struggle do not make you less faithful or less loved. This episode is about finding steady hope in Christ, even when Christmas does not look or feel the way you imagined.
