When Infertility Books Are Not Enough: Embracing Hope During Infertility

by Betsy Herman

Has infertility left you with empty arms? Have you wondered “Why can’t I get pregnant?” After years of trying to conceive, women read infertility books about the best ways to get pregnant, try new fertility foods, look for signs of infertility and tips on how to get pregnant faster. People turn to infertility devotional books for encouragement. Hopes rise with infertility treatments, or after reading tips to get pregnant on an infertility blog. The causes of infertility in women are often unknown, but while coping with infertility, Betsy has learned to keep trusting in the God who brings miracle babies in due time. During her years of trying to get pregnant she has gained a greater sense of hope.

This book describes the emotions of trying to conceive, dreams of motherhood, long waits, and 4+ years of trying to increase fertility while trying to get pregnant. Similarly to an infertility devotional book, here the author tells of encouragement that she received along the way. She focuses on the truth that nothing is impossible with God.

Do you simply want to understand someone else's infertility? This book will help. Maybe you’re dealing with infertility yourself. If you’re trying to get pregnant, facing infertility treatments, or just in the wait and you want more than basic info on how to get pregnant, read one woman’s journey of having hope when a situation looks hopeless.

Throughout her challenging personal journey, Betsy shares a steadfast understanding that God is good in all seasons, regardless of the circumstances. If you need encouragement in your delayed dreams, then this book is for you. You are not alone!

This book is different from others in the same genre. It's not a book full of "how to get pregnant" tips, but instead, it's a very real and personal walk with the author on her journey through infertility--a journey that's still continuing. The title really says it all--this book is all about hope. If you're struggling with infertility, or any unrealized dream, this book will surely encourage you.
