Gospel singer Victor Thompson recounted how he and his wife spent five years hoping to become parents, but their journey took an unexpected turn just when they were preparing to begin fertility treatment.

Thompson recalled that during the difficult period, a bishop he held in high regard made a statement about his wife's ability to conceive that left him deeply troubled.

According to the singer, the bishop told him, “Do you know your wife cannot get pregnant?”

Hearing those words from someone he respected and looked up to spiritually was particularly difficult for him. He explained that he believed in the bishop's words and found it hard to come to terms with what he had been told.

Rather than passing the painful message on to his wife, Thompson chose to keep it to himself. He knew how much it could hurt her, especially when they were both hoping and praying to have a child.

As the years went by, the couple continued waiting. Their first anniversary passed without a pregnancy, and the second, third and fourth years also came without the news they desperately wanted.

Eventually, his wife began suggesting that they consider in vitro fertilisation (IVF). Thompson said he had nothing against the procedure and regarded having a child through IVF as a testimony in itself. However, he continued asking her to be patient because he believed they would eventually have their own breakthrough.

He recalled that his wife would often return to the subject, particularly during moments when they were happy and relaxed. Each time, she wanted them to take the next step towards becoming parents.

By December 2024, she brought up the idea again, and Thompson finally agreed that they should proceed after the Christmas celebrations.

He recalled, “Let's finish this Christmas period. January we'll go for it.”

True to their agreement, the couple visited the hospital on January 2, where the necessary preliminary procedures were carried out. They also paid the full amount required for the IVF treatment.

However, the doctor instructed them to return a day after his wife's next menstrual period so they could continue with the process.

Thompson said they returned home and waited for her period, but it never came.

Instead of proceeding with the treatment, they eventually contacted the hospital and requested a refund of the money they had paid.

Looking back at how everything unfolded, the singer believes the timing of their daughter's arrival was significant. He reflected on how different their circumstances might have been if they had welcomed her several years earlier.

He suggested that the financial and other responsibilities of raising a child at that earlier stage might have been more difficult for them.

Explaining how much joy their daughter now brings into their lives, Thompson said:

“The kind of enjoyment she experiences now, if she had come the first year, second or third year, we might have been str&ggl!ng to raise her. But God came through at the right time.”

For Thompson and his wife, what began as five years of uncertainty eventually became a story of an unexpected pregnancy, just as they were preparing to take another route towards parenthood.
