Yesterday I found out I had a chemical pregnancy. I was pregnant for a hot minute there, but something was wrong and my body decided that it just wasn't going to work out.
I had taken a few pregnancy tests before I expected my period and they came in positive. Then when my period was one day late... then two.. I finally started to believe this might the happening. But morning number three came, and with it, my period.

I'm feeling OK about the whole thing. The silver lining is that I know now that I'm ovulating and can get pregnant. I was sad for about a day, but I realize now that this doesn't really change anything in terms of the big picture. We'll just push on to next month.

My husband is taking it a bit harder - he was so excited about all the milestones we were looking forward to. Plus, he seems worried about my health. I've reassured him that I'm perfectly healthy and that this was probably the safest thing to have happen - if the pregnancy were to go on longer, then we might have run into more serious issues.

I know that this type of thing is very common - so much so that people often don't even know it's happened. Have you experienced it? What kinds of effects did it have on you and your partner? Did it change your plans? or was it just another bump in the road?
