Success after IF
Lost baby A on Tuesday night
It really gives me a new appreciation for those who have miscarried in the past; I don't see how you cope, especially after going through the trenches with IF. Luckily for us baby B looks great and is on track for now.

Re: Lost baby A on Tuesday night
I am so, so sorry.
I know exactly how you feel. We lost identical twins at 9 weeks during Kate's pregnancy. It is such a mixed bag of emotions - devastated for your loss but thankful you still have one baby holding on.
Let yourself feel upset, sad, depressed, mad. You have lost a child - your grief doesn't need to be masked by the fact that you are still pregnant with the surviving twin.
You pain will subside - it takes time - but it will lessen. It will never go away though.
I will be praying for you and your family.
Because we're fancy like that.

Twin loss is such a complicated thing to process thru. You're so grief stricken for the one you lost and SO grateful for the one still thriving. It's tough to feel both those emotions at the same time.
There are several of us here who've lost a twin so please reach out if you want to talk more about it.
Hugs to you and your angel baby.

lost twins are so hard. i'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry. I know the feeling - it's so bittersweet and hard to wrap feelings around sometimes.
My thoughts are with you. (and FWIW, it's "ok" to mourn the loss and be happy at the same time. I had a really hard time with that once upon a time....)
I am so sorry for your loss
