lovely story about our "1 in 8" and infertility - **warning: may induce tears!**

 A friend of mine shared this with me last week and while it did make me cry, it also made me feel like we really are all in this together and that it's good to talk about these things and help each other through our struggles with infertility.

I highly recommend a read:

    I struggle so much with jealousy when I see mothers with their children; its a good reminder that we're not alone, and we don't know everyone's story.

    Thank you so much for sharing that! I struggle so much from the jealousy too, that some days it makes me hate myself as a person, that I could be so jealous and mean towards people I love. I've read this woman's blog before - a friend of mine has shared posts with me before, as she too is going through this as well. Her posts always seem to give me hope.

    So very very true. I don't know how people cope without a good support network around them. x

    This is so amazing. Had me in tears the first time I read it, then tried reading it to my DH and couldn't make it through without crying again. It's so nice to know that we are not alone. ❤️
