From 1% Chance to a Miracle: How God Wrote My Motherhood Story

From 1% Chance to a Miracle: My Unbelievable Journey to Motherhood

“I will not die but live and will proclaim what the Lord has done.”

— Psalm 118:17 (NIV)

Yes, I will not die but live, and I will proclaim what the Lord has done for me.

The doctors told me that even with IVF treatment, there was only a 1% chance I would conceive—99% I would not. But my God is good, and He performs wonders we cannot comprehend and miracles beyond counting.

So, what miracle did He do in my life? Continue reading...

💔 A Medical Verdict, A Faithful God

At one of the most renowned hospitals in Chennai, after extensive testing for both me and my husband, a highly reputed gynecologist gave us a heartbreaking diagnosis:

“Even if you undergo IVF treatment, there’s only a 1% chance you will conceive. 99% you will not.”

But God had a different plan.

My husband and I continued to seek Him through prayer and fasting. During this time, the Lord gave me a promise from His Word:

“I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants.”
— Genesis 26:24 (NIV)

🙏 Standing on God’s Promise

I held onto that promise every day in prayer. I believed with all my heart that God hears and answers. Each day, my husband and I knelt together, holding hands, crying in His presence. While others enjoyed holidays and outings, we chose to fast and pray.

Though it was painful to face society, God gave us peace in the storm and joy in His presence.

I often declared in faith:

“One day, our baby will crawl, run, and play in our house. It will happen. 100%, God will bless us. It will come to pass in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

💉 Treatment, Trials, and Tears

Eventually, we resumed treatment. But after two failed IUI attempts, the doctor advised me to rest, saying my body was too weak.

We agreed to pause. A month later, I noticed a delay in my monthly cycle. While preparing to restart treatment, I asked my doctor about the next steps. She simply asked:

“Have you taken a pregnancy test?”

I hadn’t. So, I did.

👶 The Miracle Begins

God had remembered us. He saw our tears. He blessed us with the fruit of the womb.

In May 2018, I found out I was pregnant. It was a moment of indescribable gratitude and joy.

“All things work together for the good of those who love God.”
— Romans 8:28

Indeed, they do.

During the fifth month of pregnancy, God revealed to my heart:

It would be a baby boy, and his name should be Isaac Ebenezer—a child of laughter, and a reminder that “thus far the Lord has helped us.”

👼 A Promise Fulfilled

On January 3rd, 2019, a Thursday at 4:00 PM, in Bangalore, I gave birth to our beautiful miracle baby.

The baby looked like a little apple! In the operation theatre, the doctor smiled and said:

“Congratulations, Sumathi! Small Dinesh!” (Dinesh is my husband’s name.)

I was speechless—tears flowing—as I reflected on the grace and mercy of my loving God.

🙌 A Living Testimony of Grace

“He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.”
— Job 5:9

Our son, Isaac Ebenezer, is a living testimony of God's faithfulness.

This miracle didn’t happen because I was perfect or strong in faith. It happened because of God’s Immeasurable Grace and His Unending Mercies through Jesus Christ.

I know I am not worthy—but He is.

✨ Conclusion: When God Writes Your Story

From being told I had a 1% chance of conceiving to holding my son in my arms—this journey is a testimony of God's power.

To every woman waiting for her miracle: Don't lose heart.
When the world says it’s over, God is just getting started.
Keep praying. Keep believing. Keep standing on His promises.

My story is not about me—it’s about a God who still performs miracles and makes the impossible, possible.

All glory and honor to Jesus Christ, the Author of Life and Giver of Hope.

A Mother’s Fight: How My 3-Year-Old Son Became My Lifeline

  A Journey of Faith, Survival, and Miracles The Life-Changing News On Christmas Eve, December 25, 2021 , my husband, my mother, and I sat anxiously in front of my doctor. He spoke about the next phase of my treatment— a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) . We were completely unfamiliar with these medical terms. The doctor explained that this procedure had only a 40% success rate , meaning there was a 60% chance of losing my life . However, if we chose not to proceed, there was a 100% chance that the disease could return at any time. To move forward, a Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) test was necessary. This test determines whether a person is a suitable stem cell donor, usually a close blood relative . We had no other option. We had to proceed. The First Search for a Donor The first HLA test was conducted with my sister, but unfortunately, only 2 out of 12 markers matched . A perfect 12/12 match would have made the transplant much safer. At the very least, we needed a half-mat...

A Night of Miracles: My Testimony Heavenly Father, I thank You for giving Sumathi to me as my wife. Now, I submit her according to Your will. I don’t want to be selfish. If I need a wife and Isaac needs a mother, please give her back to us. I submit her into Your mighty hands. In the name of Jesus, Amen! These were the words my husband prayed on what felt like the most hopeless night of our lives—September 15, 2021, at the Cancer Institute in Adyar, Chennai. A Battle with No Hope The struggle for my life began on July 12, 2021 , with relentless blood and platelet transfusions. When chemotherapy started, we had some hope, but it failed, and my condition worsened day by day. My doctor’s only response was, “Let’s hope.” Every morning, we waited anxiously to hear that my WBC count had increased beyond 100 , but every day, the response was the same: “Sister, what’s my count today?” “100, Sumathi.” For over a month, my count remained unchanged. I suffered from a continuous fever a...
