After Years of Unexplained Infertility & 6 Cycles of IVF, Mum of Two Shares Her Inspiring Testimony

After six years of unexplained infertility and 6 cycles of In vitro fertilization (IVF), it seemed becoming a mum the second time would always remain nothing more than a dream for Oby Adeojo. However, the joyous mum has got reasons to thank God after finally welcoming another bundle of joy into her family.

In a Facebook post, the proud mother of two shared her journey and how heaven finally smiled on her when she least expected it.

Below is her heart-wrenching and inspiring testimony…

”Forgive my long epistle but I have to share my testimony. When we made the decision to have Jaden, we got pregnant within two months of trying. This was 2007. Naturally I assumed it would be that easy the 2nd time around as I always knew I wanted another baby. Nothing prepared me for the journey I was about to embark upon.

January 2010, I found out I was pregnant again. Less than a week after I was rushed to the Emergency Room, ER. I had passed out from the worst abdominal cramping ever. I was told I was bleeding internally and had to have an emergency surgery due to an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured and almost cost me my life and forever severed a tube. It took some time but I got pregnant again November 2010.

I suffered a miscarriage 3 months later. It was a painful loss. For the next 2 years, we tried without success for another baby. By 2012, my OB/GYN, (An obstetrician/gynecologist is a physician specialist who provides medical and surgical care to women and has particular expertise in pregnancy, childbirth, and disorders of the reproductive system) decided to refer us to a fertility doctor. And there our IVF journey began.

The first 2 cycles yielded nothing. I took 6 months off in 2013 to recover physically and emotionally. By September, we were ready. We tried for the 3rd time. This time was a success. We were elated. Found out it was a boy. Sadly, at 4 months, a day to my birthday (December 27th), we lost him. I was shattered. This wasn’t the plan. God had promised me that His gift to me was “good” and “perfect.” How did this happen? I didn’t know what I believed in anymore. I couldn’t pray, I was lost, and I felt like a part of me died with my baby. 2014 came with a lot of pain.

Pain in my heart, my home, my marriage, my faith. It took EVERYTHING in me to survive that year. It took God! 2015 brought on the promise of hope and with that, we decided to try again. I just knew this time would work. We spared no expense. We did every test known to man, including genetic testing. Acupuncture? I did it. Rest? I stayed in bed literally. Follow the fertility diet? Drink this? Eat that? I did it all! After another 3 cycles of IVF and all our embryos gone, and all 3 failed, WE WERE DONE! There was no way I could put my body and my soul through all that again. I made my peace. I had a son who still needed me. I was going to live life again and be thankful for all I had. This was May 2015. With that decision made, I packed up all the drugs, over $10,000 worth. I put them away.

My IVF journey was over. Later that year, we prepared for our annual Christmas trip. We traveled to Dubai and Nigeria. Good times. Except I felt “weird” the entire time. I didn’t know what was wrong. I just wasn’t myself. We returned to the States on January 10. The following day (a year ago today), I took a pregnancy test, not because I believed I was pregnant but to eliminate all doubts. After 6 years of unexplained infertility and 6 cycles of IVF, the test came out positive. No way! We decided to go to the doctor for confirmation where she opted for an ultrasound instead of a blood test, even though I would be just about 6 weeks.

Seeing my baby’s heartbeat thumping on that monitor for the 1st time is a moment I will never forget. After everything we had been through, God decided to bless us with this child naturally and effortlessly. More importantly, He did it in His own time. Whatever you are going through in life, please believe that God will never leave nor forsake you. For anyone reading this, I pray He blesses you with that miracle you have been waiting on in Jesus name!

It is a miracle!
