Thanks for all the shout outs guys. I had an ultrasound this morning and they confirmed no ectopic and I passed everything on my own this time. I'm extremely grateful not to need another D&C. I don't know how I'm going to move past this emotionally and learn to let go of my desire for a sibling, I can only hope it will get easier with time. I very much appreciate all of your well wishes. I'm going to bury my face in a giant bowl of ice cream tonight and have another good cry.

Is there a wine that goes well with ice cream? Ha ha Im glad that everything passed naturally. As far as the sibling issue goes just remember that we make our own family by surrounding ourselves with people we love and your daughter will have no problem doing the same. Also just having a sibling is no guarantee that your kids will get along so at least this way she can choose the people she wants in her life that uplift her and make her a better person. There will probably be a little more pressure to arrange play dates and such but I'm sure its nothing you cant handle It WILL get easier with time. Let me know if you ever need to vent or chat!

Glad to hear there weren't any complications. Hope you get some closure soon.

Hugs to you!! I had a lot of issues with the MTHFR gene mutation as well with losses, I had to start seeing a naturopathic doc who knew what MTHFR was and how to deal with it to get & stay pregnant (with a lot of work before and then lots of supplements and strict diet during) and I was finally able to have my first child this year. I'm not sure if I'd be able to handle another pregnancy, it was hard on my body and my mind (I was a nervous wreck worrying about all the symptoms) and then had a traumatic delivery experience as well. I really feel for you!

Thank you, it sounds like we had very similar experiences. Despite the fact that it was so hard on my body and also had a traumatic birth experience and difficult recovery, I was willing to go through it one more time to give my daughter a sibling. But my husband is very much done so it's never going to happen. Congratulations on your success!
