Trying to conceive can feel like a never-ending cycle of guessing, hoping, and waiting. In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what I’m doing differently as my husband and I begin trying for baby #3.

I share my personal fertility journey—from battling infertility and IVF to welcoming two miracle girls—and why this season feels different. This time, I’m pairing faith with science by using Inito, the at-home fertility monitor that tracks four key hormones for a full picture of your cycle. No more squinting at test strips or relying on app predictions. Inito has given me clarity, peace of mind, and a six-day fertile window backed by real data.

But more than that, I’ll walk you through the biblical perspective that shapes how I use tools like this: stewarding my body wisely, trusting God fully, and remembering that faith and science are not enemies.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re missing something or wasting precious cycles, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with practical TTC tools, spiritual encouragement, and a reminder that even in the waiting, God is good.

Try Inito THE Fertility Tool you Need - as shared today, this is the tool I just started using as we begin preparing for conceiving baby 3!! The Inito Starter Pack is available for just $89 with the code THEWAITINGWELL at inito.com - this is the tool you HAVE to have: Your very own fertility lab that measures actual values of Estrogen and LH to predict your fertile days, PdG (urine metabolite of progesterone) to confirm ovulation and FSH to track your follicle growth. 

If you’ve ever wondered “Why is God withholding this from me?” — this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, Courtney exposes the one lie nearly every woman facing infertility believes: that God is holding back something good. Through honest storytelling and powerful Scripture, she helps you recognize that lie for what it is — and replace it with unshakable truth.

You’ll learn how to:

God isn’t withholding something good — He’s preparing something greater.

Whether you’re in the middle of treatments, grieving loss, or simply wrestling with God’s timing, this episode will help you trade doubt for peace and reclaim joy in the middle of the wait.
