Exodus 8:6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. 8:7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
(An aside, the Hebrews and their God were not worried about stoning Magicians at that point.)
Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At one point Frogs provide freedom, but in revelation the are a sign of evil. I can find no concurrance of true meaning.

While I find no religion-specific references as what a frog is supposed to symbolize, I do find numerous references as to what uses they were put to and what they meant in the general folklore and superstitions of the western world.
The closest thing otherwise mentions that in Medieval Europe frogs were thought to represent evil, spirits, and magic of some sort (the listing is a little vague).
Frogs were used in a variety of magical cures for various physical ailments (most of which were *very* bad for the frog, to put it mildly). There a few scattered references to frog being used in love spells, but the majority of the frog references are for curative magic.
Otherwise, as mentioned, I find no Christian-specific meaning for "frog."

I don't know about Christian mythology, but in terms of (some)Christian beliefs, They do symbolise something. I don't know whether it is specific to the denomination of christianity or not.
I am talking from a Charismatic/Pentecostal christian perspective. From what I have learned is that Frogs= evil spirits, especially a demon spirit of uncleaniness and filth. a lot of times, frogs are assoiciated with that which is dirty and profane. Frogs are also assiociated with spirits who control areas of magic [epsecially dark magic] and divination. One reference to this is in the Bible: [Revelation 16:13 &14]

“There is strong reason to believe that St. Paul fabricated the belief system of Christianity from Zoroastrian mythology. In order to hide Paul’s plaigerism… Christians burned the library of Alexandria in 390 A.D. Books in that library kept Mithra’s original story of what Pauline Doctrine is an almost exact copy. (George Sarton , Introduction to History of Sciences) "The word Trinity is not found in the Bible . . . It did not find a place formally in the theology of the church till the 4th century." -- The Illustrated Bible Dictionary Monotheism is the true belief in the God of Abraham which is why Jews and Muslims do not believe in the Trinity. The belief that a diety can be three separate entities AT ONE AND THE SAME TIME is considered to be Polytheism. "The three-in-one/one-in-three mystery of Father, Son and Holy Ghost made tritheism official. The subsequent almost-deification of the Virgin Mary made it quatrotheism . . . Finally, cart-loads of saints raised to quarter-deification turned Christianity into plain old-fashioned polytheism. By the time of the Crusades, it was the most polytheistic religion to ever have existed, with the possible exception of Hinduism. This untenable contradiction between the assertion of monotheism and the reality of polytheism was dealt with by accusing other religions of the Christian fault. The Church - Catholic and later Protestant - turned aggressively on the two most clearly monotheistic religions in view - Judaism and Islam - and persecuted them as heathen or pagan. The external history of Christianity consists largely of accusations that other religions rely on the worship of more than one god and therefore not the true God. These pagans must therefore be converted, conquered and/or killed for their own good in order that they benefit from the singularity of the Holy Trinity, plus appendages." -- The Doubter's Companion (John Ralston Saul) ///

Giving birth to a new life is indeed a blessing which almost every woman would wish to have. How to get pregnant naturally https://tr.im/GHvhr
Enjoying the feeling of motherhood and raising a family would surely be a couple’s dream. Some get it naturally, while for some others things don’t seem to work as they desire. These reasons which stop a women from conceiving can be due to either physical reasons or truly physiological.

I believe that frogs are still associated with fertility. Early Christianity borrowed a lot of symbolism (and a lot of other things) from established religion to help new converts feel 'at home.'

They were part of a plague, I'm not sure they specifically mean anything other than they are a pest and some town was infested with them. Like the locusts

They don't have any spiritual meaning, but they were one of the 10 plagues God put on Egypt. After the plagues, the Israelites were allowed to leave.
