Am I the only one that feels this way?

  I'm so sorry for what you're going through.  I know exactly how you feel, with things so fresh it's hard to imagine trying again, or ever not feeling so scared and confused. Even when we first made the decision to TTC I had mixed feelings, I was already 18 years past having my first and she's wonderful and perfect, and I questioned whether or not I should be tempting fate by trying for another especially at my age. And now with this loss I just feel even more terrified. It's so hard. You're definitely not the only one feeling this way!

  I am so sorry for your loss, I too am missing my right tube, but not due to ectopic. I agree this is a painful and scary process. I love my daughter and I don't want her to think she isn't enough for me, she is. Its just that I can see her with a sibling and it kills me that I can't easily make that happen.

  I know how you feel.  I feel like I'm stuck in this depression that I can't get out of.  The only thing I can say is to continually remind yourself what blessings you already have and that more may come to you.  Constantly repeating self-affirmations has really helped me in the past.  I know it sounds kind of kooky, but give it a try.  When we found out my SIL was pregnant, I had to continually tell myself how happy I was to get a niece.  It took more than a couple of self reminders when I was feeling jealous, but now there is no doubt in my mind that I am overjoyed to be an aunt, even though I still yearn to be a mom.

  I know exactly how you feel as I am going through the same thing.  Over a year and a half, with tons of fertility meds/procedures and finally got pregnant to result in this.   At this moment all I want to do his spend as much time as I can with my DS and throw in the towel.  I think a much needed break is deserved.  Maybe in a few months I will be/you will be ready to try again!?!

  I feel the exact same way.  I have a perfect DD and she is the center of my world and I would love more than anything to give her a sibling but with this MC being number 3 for me I am seriously contemplating if I should continue to try.  Each one seems to be a little longer pregnancy than the last but I don't know how many more times I can continue this heartbreak.  Will it get to a point that I keep trying and with each try I get more numb to the fact that I am pregnant because I know it will not last?  I don't want to feel that way.  I want it to be a happy experience like my DD was and I just don't know if it will be now.

  On the other had I feel like a failure if I quit.  I feel like a failure that I cant carry another child.  So I am torn on how to proceed.  You are definitely not along.  I am so sorry for your loss.  (((hugs)))

  I am sure in time we will find the right answers.  Right now nothing seems like the right thing to do even though I have a million things going through my head of what if.  It's so frustrating.  Thank you so much for the support.
