The Call

I just received a phone call. It was a from a woman who is going through fertility treatments. Her voice was in distress. She had just spent the past month taking hormones. At last a follicule reached a nice big size and it seemed that she was ready to ovulate. Her doctor gave her a shot to release the egg and much to her surprise not only did she not ovulate, but she started bleeding~menstruating. This isn't the first time I received a call like this..."How can it be with hormones and shots that I don't ovulate? How can it be that they don't work...???" 

My heart goes out to her and I reflect how G-d shows us over and over again how we are not in control. Conceiving, pregnancy, birth-like everything in life, but more so in this process, is the time to let go-relinquish control and realize that we are not in control. It's not the medicines, it's not the doctors-we are all just messengers from Above., it's G-d. Pure and simple. He decides, how, when, and where. 


But yes I tell her, it will happen.
