So sorry for your struggles. I agree with PP that you see a therapist. In the meantime, here is an article that I've recently read, I hope it might be of some help to you: http://bit.ly/2eQZbXb. Praying for you. Hugs!

I beat myself up for years because I couldn't stay pregnant (had to do IVF because of MFI). Felt like I couldn't do the basic thing that a woman's body does. This is an awful road to let your thoughts go down. A therapist helped me sort through it all. Don't do this to yourself. As PP suggested, see a therapist. Good luck to you.

You need to speak with a therapist. This journey - infertility - is so incredibly difficult. Most people don't understand, and right now you need someone in your life who does. You need to take care of yourself, both physically and emotionally. Talk to your clinic because I'm sure they can recommend someone.

And, always come back here to vent. Many of us have been in your shoes. I'm sending you good vibes, sister.
