Ok here is my take, as a Christian woman myself, you aren't trying to play God. I've struggled with my infertility for four years and I've had this conversation with DH and my family. At first I was completely against the thought of going through IVF because I was afraid I'd be playing God at that point. It isn't the case. God knows every aspect and detail of our lives long before we do. He knows what's going to come out of our trials and He knows the decisions that are ahead of us to make. That being said, the medication is a tool that helps to get you to a certain point. I wanted to be able to say I'd done everything I could to get to that point, what happens from there is in God's hands. If He chooses to bless us with a pregnancy fantastic, it was meant to be, but if He doesn't then I have to have faith that it was for a reason.
The other thing I look at is the "if he brings you to it, he'll get you through it." If you are moving along without interruptions or roadblocks (as my pastor says) then keep moving forward. If you hit a roadblock it doesn't necessarily mean you can't move forward it just means you'll have to take a different way to get there and thus it may take some time. It will all work out in the end exactly as it should according to His will. Not everyone understands it that way.
You can lean on us anytime. I know how it feels to have someone close to you feel it best to stop but it's your decision, made through prayer, that keeps you going!
