Here's some background- My husband and I have been together for 6 years and married for almost 11 months. We have been trying to conceive for about 10 months. I took birth control pills for almost 10 years and it took my body about 8 months to finally start ovulating. During this time, I was late, I was early, I was nothing close to what was "normal" for me. When we got that first smiley face ovulation, I was so excited. It has been a long 10 months. 

This week our friend (best man in our wedding) just had his first baby, two people I know just announced they were pregnant & I got my period a week early. I was upset and depressed. But then my husband came home and told me about a guy he is going to school with (they are in the police academy). He and his girlfriend were pregnant and at her last appointment she learned she had miscarried. 

My point is although this is hard and sometimes extremely disappointing, it could always be worse. There are and will always be people who have it worse than you do. So next time you find yourself being jealous of that pregnancy announcement (like I often find myself), just remember to count your many blessings. 💙💙💙💙💙
