We're in good company

Anyone notice we TTCers are in good company?  5 of the greatest women in the Bible struggled with infertility until God "opened their wombs":  

Sarah (Gen 16:2 and 21:1-2)
Rebekah (Gen. 25:20-22)
Rachel (Gen 30:1-2,22-24)
Hannah (I Samuel 1:5, 19-20)
Elizabeth (Luke 1:7, 24-25)

I believe the Bible is true.  But even for those of you who are not religious, you have to admit that it is surprising that so many women in the Bible were infertile.  And all of these infertile women had children who went on to be great fathers of the faith.

That brings me hope sometimes.  That being said, I am only 6dpo right now, and going crazy.  I am crampy and worried AF is coming and having a hard time focusing on my work.  I know that whatever happens I will be ok, but you all know how it is.  Thanks for all of you ladies' support.  I need it.
