Breaking Through the Haze: How I Overcame Infertility

By Nneka Kyari

When doctors told Nneka Kyari she was infertile, her lifelong dream of raising a family was dashed and she was crushed. But instead of accepting defeat, she took a bold step of faith and asked the Holy Spirit to show her how to overcome her infertility.
Breaking Through the Haze is beyond a true life story. It is a testimonial of a heroine of faith, a journey from medical reports of impossibilities to a world of supernatural possibilities, and the processes of God in making champions out of challenges.
Nneka Kyari’s life experience of fears and faith, despair and courage, discovery and recovery, voices of religion and the voice of the Holy Spirit, internal conflicts and conquests, trials and triumphs, is presented to you in this book as a sure prescription of overcoming whatever challenges you may be going through.
Today, Nneka is a happy mother of lovely twins Elisabeth and Eric – living proofs of a living God who can change your story for the best. Her story will give you hope that you too can enjoy a victorious Christian life. Goodbye to a sunset of infertility, and welcome to a sunrise of fruitfulness.

FOREWORD

PERSONALLY AS A leader who has had cause to interface with different believers and humans, I have found Nneka Kyari to be of exceptional thirst and quest for God, and the knowledge of God. In cognizance of her gifting and grace, and having read through the book, I recommend Breaking Through the Haze as a practical life recipe for dealing with and overcoming divers vicissitude of life, specifically infertility. This book is detailed, transparent, spiritual, educational and applicable. It is holistic and balanced. What do I mean? It provides emphasis on knowledge, wisdom, faith, focus, prayer, holiness, humility, discipline, inquisitive learning attitude, discovery (root) and recovery (fruit). It also presents expositions on medical advantages God has given to our generation without negating your faith in God’s supernatural. This book could be a one-stop shop for a good gleaner of knowledge. Beyond knowledge, it is a strong word of hope, encouragement, solution and miracle for anybody believing God for one. Sincerity and honesty with God and yourself pays productive interest. Faith coupled with persistence brings you to an expected end. Information applied produces transformation. Price paid gives you the prize. These are lessons reflected in this book. I must not fail to say this: Your testimony is your strongest message . On this note, I deeply appreciate Nneka and Zachary for their large heart to share their life story and testimony as heralds of hope, conquests and blessings to the body of Christ and mankind.

PROLOGUE

August 2011

TWO RED LINES! I look closely at the test strip, not sure at first if I believe my own eyes. I’ve never seen this result before on one of my pregnancy tests. In fact, I’ve never even seen a positive result on an ovulation strip. Now that I’m examining it carefully I can see that the control band is a bold line and the test line is faint.

Is it too faint? My heart is racing, unable to slow itself while I’m so nervous and excited. It might not be accurate—and with my past, it’s hard to believe that it is. I should try it again with another strip, I think to myself. So I pull out a second test and dip it once again into my much-cherished urine. It’s four in the morning one August day in 2011, and I’m awake because I want to get this test right. Early morning urine gives the most accurate reading for a pregnancy test because it contains the highest concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). At the beginning of a pregnancy, it can be hard to detect hCG, so it is even more important to check early in the morning.

Here I am standing in my bathroom before sunrise, hoping with all my heart that I’m finally pregnant. My husband Zachary is still asleep in the bedroom, but that won’t last long if the second test comes out the same as the first. As soon as I confirm the results, I’m going to wake him up so we can celebrate together.

The second test strip is finally ready to be checked. When I look, I see exactly the same thing—one bold red line and one faint red line. I can feel the blood draining from my head, and I’m getting faint. It’s consistent, I think to myself. Has this day finally come to pass? I believe it has come to pass—the day I’ve been waiting for when I will finally find out I’m pregnant. I can almost hear the sound of my own heartbeat.

I open the bathroom door with one hand, still holding tightly to the test in the other. Walking into the bedroom I switch on the light and go to Zachary in bed, lightly tapping him on the arm. My throat is so dry I can barely speak, but I manage to get the words out.

Sweet, sweet, I think I’m pregnant!

Suddenly alert as day, he asks, What?

I said, I think I’m pregnant.

He blurts out, Of course you are! He’s speaking completely out of faith; there is no doubt in his mind that our prayers have been answered. Smiling, I reach out to show him the test still in
