Approximately one in every five couples will, at some time in their lives, experience difficulties conceiving.
For many, it’s an extremely difficult and stressful time – but, as others will testify, patience and determination may pay off.
Desiree and Ryan Fortin waited patiently for many years before, eventually, the couple turned to in-vitro fertilization. They prayed to God that it would help them get pregnant.

College sweethearts Desiree and Ryan Fortin have been happily married since 2009, but there was one thing that didn’t really work – for a long time they had struggled to conceive.
Doctors diagnosed Desiree with polycystic ovarian syndrome, hypothyroid, and low progesterone – so she and her husband tried for three long and painful years before finally turning to in-vitro fertilization.
But instead of getting positive pregnancy tests, Desiree got her period over and over again. It was a mentally draining endeavor.

“It wasn’t just that I couldn’t get pregnant,” she wrote of those difficult years.
