5 YEARS OF TRYING TO CONCEIVE... a testimony ; endometriosis, 'infertility,' and the goodness of God with Mandy Petro
Mar 05, 2024 Season 1 Episode 36

This week I had the pleasure of having my sweet and hilarious friend on, Mandy Petro, who walked through 5 years of what the doctor's would call 'infertility,' but all the while she had severe endometriosis going on underneath the surface that was keeping her from being able to get or sustain a pregnancy. Mandy shares vulnerably the highs and lows of this story, and the messy middle from the first year of marriage to her fifth year, praying and pleading for a child... and then finally conceiving after going through extensive surgery removing the endo. 

Praying this gives so much hope, comfort, and encouragement to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation ... God is no respecter of persons -- what He will do for one, He will do for another. God is with you!

0-3 min : intro to Mandy Petro & the satisfied way 

4-7min : diving into Mandy’s story ; a history of terrible & painful periods, birth control and managing symptoms 

8-38 min :  struggling to conceive and God’s hand leading her throughout the years — all of the routes she took to try and conceive and then finding out she had endometriosis 

39-50 min : the messy middle, grief, transformed in marriage and processing through the waiting seasons and speaking life 

50- end : mind, body, spirit encouragement
