Wow, everyone. Thanks for your kind comments and your support. I know it's not easy for any of us. It seems like every woman I know has had trials in regards to infertility, pregnancy, miscarriage, and having or losing kids. It's nice to know I'm not alone, even though my heart breaks for each friend or family member as well. In most cases, one may not even know someone is going through something.
Thanks for not getting annoyed as I shared my feelings. I was worried about posting about this, but thought it would be great for me to get my feelings out there and off my chest.
One thing I have learned is not to envy people. Some people seem to have it so easy, but I'm sure they have their trials too, even if they have good poker faces. I don't know if that many people have known my struggles; I don't really broadcast them, but I am also pretty much an open book if I can trust a person. Some people might have thought I had it made. And I do, but I have my days (or weeks or months) just like everyone. Bottom line is, at the end of the day, I would probably rather have my trials than another's.
Thank you, friends and family, for being such great examples to me. I am amazed at how strong each of you are, and at how strong women are in general. Heavenly Father really blesses us to be able to bear the burdens we have.

Connie- you guys rock! What better way to share your thoughts, activities, feelings, etc then with a blog! I'm sorry that you are having difficulties, I know what it feels like, I went over a year with no cycles at all... it was blamed on weight and hormones. The Lord will provide in the right time (not that you don't know that lol)Maybe we will have a group of us all pregnant at the same time again :) Luv ya tons!!
I'm learning to be more open about my own infertility issues...on one of the internet support groups I'm a member of someone said that they just think everyone around them is going through the same thing and she doesn't feel that alone... I don't know why it's been such a secretive subject. You are definately not alone. Thank you for being willing to share with us your feelings. Just so you know you are not complaining...you are being very brave!
Hey connie! Its hayley richards, tristins sister. Ive been trying to get ahold of willy all week and noone can seem to. Do u know where she is? Or if her phone is busted? Or if there is a way to get ahold of her? U can just respond here and ill check it again. Thanks!
I haven't talked to her lately, but I will try her today!
Love you Connie.
Connie, you are so brave for sharing your struggles with getting pregnant. You know that we had a hard time and I really never said anything on my blog about it when we were dealing with it, it was just too much for me to physically write it down...almost like it made it even more of a reality. I don't know that anything I say will make you feel better but know that I am thinking/praying for you. Having gone through it I would never want anyone to have to deal with infertility, it's just not fun and really is so hard...no matter what each person's situation is with infertility. The one piece of advice a friend who had infertility problems gave me that really did help was to just let yourself feel the way you want...if you are happy one day be happy, sad one day then just cry, and if you are angry be angry that day but don't let it consume you...just let yourself experience the never ending roller coaster of emotions but try and be better the next day! That was so profound for me...I was always trying so hard to put on a good face and act like it wasn't hard when inside I was being torn apart. Call me if you ever need someone to chat/cry with..I'm here for you! Miss ya lady!
Wow Connie...all I can say is there are a lot of people out there who love you.
