SHOW NOTES
Have you ever wondered if God has promised you a baby - especially when you’re tracking Fertility, noticing Ovulation Symptoms, and hoping each cycle might finally end in a Positive Pregnancy Test? It can start to feel like your Conception journey is carrying more meaning than just biology or timing.
But what if the question itself isn’t as simple as it seems? What if some of the assumptions we make in infertility are shaping how we read Scripture, how we interpret longing, and even how we experience Trust in God in ways we haven’t fully noticed?
In this episode, we gently explore why so many Christian women feel like there must be a promise of children somewhere in the Bible, and why stories like Sarah, Hannah, and Rachel can feel so personal when you’re in the middle of waiting.
And as we sit with that tension, we start to ask a deeper question - what exactly has God actually promised, and what might we be unintentionally placing our hope in when it comes to Fertility and Conception?

Fertility, conception, and emotional support for Christian women trying to conceive
You might walk into an appointment wanting clarity — and leave feeling like you went along with decisions you didn’t fully think through. In this episode, I walk through why that happens and how to approach those moments more deliberately.
We look at how fertility appointments can move quickly, especially when you're already carrying the weight of infertility, tracking ovulation symptoms, or waiting for a positive pregnancy test. I also share ten things you’re allowed to say — not just to ask questions, but to help you slow things down, understand where you stand, and make decisions that are wise, careful, and aligned with the Bible, your convictions, and your faith.
This episode will help you navigate conversations around fertility and conception with clarity and steadiness — while staying anchored in trust in God.

When Christ is risen, but you’re still waiting.
Have you ever felt like what you believe about Christ being risen doesn’t quite match what you’re living through right now?
You trust God. You know the promises of Scripture. But in real life, you’re still waiting—tracking cycles, noticing ovulation symptoms, and hoping for a positive pregnancy test that hasn’t come.
So how do you hold those two things together?
In this episode, we look at what Scripture says about the resurrection of Jesus and the reality of waiting. The Bible doesn’t dismiss that tension—it names it. It shows us a hope that is secure in trust in God, while also acknowledging that not everything has yet been fully restored, including areas of fertility and conception.
We also explore why that tension doesn’t mean your faith is lacking, and how the resurrection reshapes the way you understand waiting itself.
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep holding onto God when outcomes aren’t changing, this episode will help you rethink what it means to live with hope in the middle of waiting.

When you’re trying to conceive, most of your focus goes to ovulation symptoms, fertility treatments, and hoping that this cycle might finally lead to a positive pregnancy test. But what often gets overlooked is sleep — and how much it can affect your body during this season.
If you’ve found yourself lying awake overthinking, symptom-spotting, or searching for answers late at night, you’re not alone. And over time, disrupted sleep can begin to impact your stress levels, hormones, and overall fertility in ways that aren’t always obvious.
In this episode, I walk through how sleep affects conception, why late-night scrolling can work against your body, and what’s actually happening hormonally when you’re not getting enough rest. I also share practical ways to support better sleep, along with a grounded perspective on trust in God when your mind won’t switch off at night.
This episode will help you understand how sleep fits into your fertility journey — and how small, realistic changes can support both your body and your peace of mind.

“Be Fruitful and Multiply” - The Pressure You Were Never Meant to Carry
Do you ever hear “be fruitful and multiply” and wonder if you’re somehow falling short - especially when you’re longing for a baby and it’s not happening? It can start to feel like your fertility journey is tied to your purpose, leaving you questioning where you stand with God as you wait for a positive pregnancy test or notice ovulation symptoms that seem to lead nowhere.
In this episode, I’ll unpack what this verse in Genesis actually means - and why it’s not a personal command you’re responsible to fulfil. We’ll look at how this subtle misunderstanding can create pressure, confusion, and doubt, especially when you’re trying to trust in God through the uncertainty of infertility.
You’ll see how it's possible to separate your desire for a baby from your standing before God, so you can release the weight of feeling like you need to make something happen that’s ultimately out of your control.
This is about finding steadiness again - learning to trust in God while navigating fertility and conception, and resting in the truth that your place with Him has never depended on whether or not you have a child.

Do you ever find yourself wondering if it’s time to see a doctor while trying to conceive, or if you should just keep waiting and trust in God? When fertility struggles stretch on, ovulation symptoms become something you analyse constantly, and each cycle ends without a positive pregnancy test, it can leave you feeling uncertain about what the “right” next step is. And that uncertainty can feel heavy.
In this episode, I walk through how to approach that decision with both wisdom and faith. You’ll hear practical guidelines around when to consider medical or holistic advice and guidance for fertility and conception, situations where it may be worth investigating earlier, and what actually happens when you take that first step with a practitioner.
This episode is about bringing clarity to a process that can feel overwhelming, helping you understand your body and your options, and reminding you that seeking answers and trust in God are not in conflict. You can take wise, practical steps forward while still holding your journey toward motherhood, and your desire for a positive pregnancy test in God’s hands.

What to do when someone tells you that you just need more faith to have a baby.
In this episode, I look at what Scripture actually says about faith and why the idea that believing harder will lead to conception doesn’t hold up biblically. You’ll see the difference between bold prayer and presuming a specific outcome, how faith in the Bible is always connected to what God has actually promised, and why infertility is not evidence that your faith is lacking.
This episode will help you see a different way - one where your longing for a child and your trust in God don’t compete with each other, so you can rest in what God has truly promised rather than measuring your faith by fertility, conception, or whether or not you have a baby in your arms.

Do you ever worry that your husband doesn’t feel the weight of infertility the way you do? That maybe he’s fine with the waiting, fine with the appointments, fine with tracking ovulation symptoms and waiting for a positive pregnancy test — and that somehow you’re carrying it alone?
Certain thoughts can make you feel isolated or even resentful, adding weight to the fear that he’s checked out, or that your marriage is slowly drifting apart.
In this episode, I unpack why those fears are so convincing — and why they often don’t reflect what he’s really feeling. We explore what men often carry silently through fertility struggles, how pulling back can be a way of coping, and how assumptions can quietly create distance in a marriage.
I’ll show you how to see him differently, protect your connection, and trust in God together through the uncertainty of conception. Whether you’re navigating infertility, tracking ovulation, or waiting for a positive pregnancy test, this episode offers encouragement to understand him, stay connected, and strengthen your marriage even in the hardest seasons.

Do you ever find yourself replaying your past, wondering whether old choices or painful seasons have somehow changed what God is willing to give you? When you’re navigating infertility, trying to conceive, and waiting month after month for a positive pregnancy test, deeper questions about worth, forgiveness, and trust in God can quietly surface.
In this episode, we explore why infertility often leads us to search for meaning — even when there are medical explanations — and how that search can turn inward. You’ll learn what Scripture actually shows about fertility, conception, forgiveness, and grace, and why your story, your past, and your waiting do not disqualify you from God’s love or care.
This episode will help you see a different way—one where guilt and fear don’t dictate your story, so you can rest in what God actually says about your worth.

Are you trying to conceive, doing everything you can, hoping this month might finally be the one with the positive pregnancy test, while quietly wondering if life can still feel meaningful if motherhood doesn’t happen the way you dreamed?
Do you ever ask, “Will I still have purpose? Will my life still be whole?”
Maybe you’re caught between letting go and letting God while tracking ovulation symptoms and doing everything you can to become a mother. But you’re bone weary, and the questions, the decisions, the emotions just keep piling up.
You’re praying hard, reading your Bible, putting on a brave face at church, but inside, you’re running on empty, worn down, anxious, and wondering how much longer you can hold it together.
Maybe you're questioning your worth, your decisions, even your faith. You trust God, but some days you quietly ask, “Is He really hearing me? Or has He forgotten?” Especially in a church full of growing families, it can feel like you’ve been overlooked.
If this is you, know that I see you because I’ve been there.
I’m Lyndell Renae, a Jesus-loving wife, mum, and Christian fertility coach and mentor, with a background in nursing and women’s ministry. I’ve walked through grief, anxiety, decision fatigue, and deep spiritual wrestling.
My journey was messy and imperfect. Some days, I didn’t know if I was holding on to God or just barely holding it together.
But those very struggles led me to the anchors I needed. Anchors that helped me think clearly, choose wisely, and build trust in God and Christ-centered hope, hope that steadied me not just in the midst of infertility, but beyond it too.
Whether you’re navigating IUI, IVF, miscarriage, embryo adoption, secondary infertility, or trying naturally, you are so welcome here.
It’s my sincere hope to provide you with honest, gospel-shaped conversations and real stories, both from my own journey and from women who’ve walked similar roads, sharing what helped, what we’d do differently, and the truths that held us steady, so your path feels lighter, more supported, and grounded in Christ.
We’ll talk about emotional well-being, simple conception tips, and biblical truth that helps you make wise, godly decisions even when the outcome is unknown.
If you’re tired of walking this road alone, done pretending you’re okay, and ready to refresh your hope and renew your mind, your marriage, your relationships, your life - then you’re in the right place.
You don’t have to carry this alone anymore.
Christ goes before you, and I’m right here beside you every step of the way.
