My guest, Jessica Dubuque and I talk about infertility and PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and the new, cost effective option INVOcell. When talking with Jessica I learned that September is PCOS awareness month so if you’d like more information check out PCOSawarenessmonth.org.
Along with receiving encouragement as she shares about her journey through infertility she also talks about an exciting infertility option, called INVOcell. It is more cost affective as compared to the traditional IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) route.
You get to hear Jessica’s success story both with her chosen infertility journey as well as a surprise conception but you’ll also get to listen in as Jessica shares that there is a backstory to the success story and it was full of pain and questions and struggle to understand what she had done wrong.
When I think about the various stories that I have had the honor to hear through this podcast I realize there is a level of brokenness in us. And what I mean by that is that there is loss, shame, embarrassment, humiliation, fear. In short, we know suffering. There are no exceptions. Everyone has experienced these things. What might be no big deal for you could be devastating for someone else. To live is to know pain and suffering.
But what I find most fulfilling is to know that God gives beauty in exchange for our broken things. He wants to engage us in the midst of our pain. To lead us into healing and provide restoration that extracts the pain from the event or events so that it no longer controls us. Where we feel at peace with our painful places. That’s what healing feels like.
As Jessica tells us who God was for her in the midst of her heartache and questions she reveals this beautiful exchange between her and God. She goes from a leader of her own making, to a follower of God.
She began to pursue His heart for answers to this painful place of infertility. And what does God do? He heals.
He’s such a good Father. He did this for me too and I know He’ll do it for you. That’s His nature, to heal His sons and daughters. Yes, He’s the God of judgement and there is a day when that will come but today, in the intimacy of relationship with Him, He wants to restore, heal, and make new.
When we engage the heart of God He’s so much bigger than the immediate painful place that we bring to Him. There is so much more wrapped up in our painful places of life. We show up with fears, assumptions, scars and nightmares.
If we allow Him to love on us and to speak into our suffering, His love dismantles and overwhelms the pain of this life. When we walk in that type of recovery and freedom, we get a taste, just a little taste of what it means for Him to bring heaven down to earth.
Listen as Jessica shares this beautiful transition as God meets her in the midst of her journey of uncertainty through infertility. May it bless you to hear of the intimacy that God cares for each of us.

BIO:
At the age of 35, she found herself in a battle of infertility. Fear, anxiety, and shame consumed her as she looked for answers. The life she had envisioned was now full of uncertainty.
In the midst of her pain, she turned to the one who had never left her side, God. She began to embrace her journey as she clung to God’s word. God revealed to her the power of infertility. Her struggles exposed by infertility made her brave enough to confront them. She had more strength than she ever thought to fight battles that she never imagined she would.
Now, she has a passion to connect with others who also share in the pain of infertility.
