Waiting can feel like the hardest part of the fertility journey. The frustration, the endless tests, the uncertainty—sometimes it feels like your dreams are slipping further away with each passing month. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, wondering if it will ever happen for you, I want you to know you’re not alone.

In today’s blog post, I’m sharing an incredibly powerful conversation I had with Tori Black, a Registered Nurse and Christian fertility coach. Tori and I dove deep into how your season of waiting might actually be the preparation needed to embrace your beautiful fertility journey ahead.

Tori’s insights on how to stay hopeful during the wait, take holistic steps to optimize your fertility, and how faith and patience can make all the difference when you’re trying to conceive, are just what you need if you’ve been feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or confused about what to do next. This conversation is for those of you who are struggling in the waiting period, particularly after a vasectomy reversal, and need some encouragement to keep going.

The Struggles of Waiting: Doubt, Stress, and Unanswered Prayers

It’s not just about biology; it’s about the emotional toll of trusting God when the results aren’t coming as fast as you want them to. For many of us, especially after a vasectomy reversal, the wait can feel unbearable, and doubt often creeps in. You may be questioning your body, your fertility, or even whether or not this dream is meant to come true.

Tori reminded me that “it’s so hard to let go and let God.” It’s easy to get frustrated when you want something so badly. Whether you’re trying to get pregnant after a vasectomy reversal or have had setbacks in your fertility journey, trusting that God’s plan is bigger than our own can be challenging.

But as Tori shared, faith means trusting that God’s plan is always better than anything we could orchestrate on our own.

What Do You Do in the Waiting?

If you’re struggling with doubt and uncertainty in the waiting period, here’s some of the best advice that Tori shared with us:

Give yourself grace: The fertility journey is tough. Tori reminds us not to be too hard on ourselves, especially when it feels like the journey is never-ending. Give yourself grace and remember that things will happen in God’s timing, not ours.

Love your spouse well: Waiting can put a strain on your relationship, especially when you’re not aligned on your fertility journey. Tori emphasized the importance of showing love and appreciation for your spouse, even when the waiting feels unbearable.

Take care of yourself: Tori encourages us to focus on our health, nourish our bodies with food that fuels us, and make time for self-care. She also recommends staying connected with God through scripture and prayer during the process, which can help you stay grounded and calm in the midst of uncertainty.

The Power of Trusting God’s Plan

Tori’s words really resonated with me when she said, “When you let go of the stress, when you trust God, it’s amazing what He does. You don’t have to carry the weight of trying to control everything.” This is so true when it comes to fertility.

Trusting that God has a perfect plan for you—whether it’s your journey to conceive after a vasectomy reversal, or through other natural methods—means trusting that His timing is perfect. Even if it’s not your timing, you can lean into that faith, knowing that the waiting period is preparation for something even greater.

Is Your Faith Being Tested in the Waiting?

If you’re feeling the weight of the waiting, I want you to remember that your journey isn’t over just because it’s taking longer than you hoped. Tori reminded us that “the waiting is preparation.” When you trust God and lean into faith, you’ll be prepared for whatever comes next.

The waiting season doesn’t have to be about frustration. It can be about growing spiritually, building your relationship with your partner, and laying the foundations for the kind of parent you want to be. God’s plan is always greater than our own, and by trusting Him through this season, you will see that He has been preparing you for something incredible all along.
