So I have been going through the whole process of ivf for a yr and 7 months now.  My husband had surgery first, then we proceeded we did ivf w icsi had a positive pg only to m/c 10 weeks later.  Now I find out my younger brother and married for less then a yr is pg and not only that but its only 4 weeks after my m/c and they are due three wks after my baby would've been.  When is enough enough how much more do i have to take.  I am trying to b happy for them but seriously 3 weeks after me talk about a reminder staring u straight in the face.  
We r supposed to start agin end of july but the lining of my uterus is not thickening.  I am so angry, sad , upset etc
i don't know how much more i can take and now i'm afraid even if we do achieve a positive pg i will only lose the baby again.  any words of wisdom r much neede.

I am sorry for both of your losses.  I have had 2 IVF's and 7 IUI's.  We have been trying for 3 years now.  I have had 3 m/c.  I have a beautiful 6 year old daughter who was a twin.  I m/c the twin.  We tried for two years for her only with clomid.  This time is has been so hard.  My sis-in-law got pregnant two months after me.  I resented her but I also wanted her to be happy too.  My other sis-in-law just is four months pregnant with no problem getting there whatsoever.  I KNOW EXACTLY what you are going through and IT *****!!!!  Just trust that God will pull you through all of this.  He has a plan, I am just not quite sure what it is yet.  Good luck to you.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss, to be so far along and to be so close.  Thank you for your prayers and encouraging words.  Have you made a choice to try again? I am so scared to lose another baby or for it not to be a positive outcome next time that i am almost paralyzing myself.  I know its our only option if we want a baby of our own though. The only thing that keeps me going is the love of my husband.

I'm so sorry sweetie! I know how you feel. I lost my daughter when i was 8 months pregnant, and 1 month after i delivered her, a friend of ours had their baby girl. It's very very hard! I know it's difficult when people around you are getting pregnant, and probably not even trying to, right? It's a big smack in the face, i know! I'm so sorry for both your losses. I know it's difficult when you work so hard to achieve pregnancy, only to have your baby taken from you. It was REALLY hard for me b/c i was so damn close, ya know?! But it doesn't matter if your 8 months pregnant, or 10 weeks pregnant. It's still your baby, and it still hurts all the same. I'll keep you in my prayers, God will get you through this, i promise. I have really hard days  A LOT, my baby will be 6 months old on June 17th, and i can only think that she should be here, no matter what. There's not a good enough reason for her not to be. But God gets me through my tough times, and He will do the same for you. I know your miracle will get here, just like i know He will send me another beautiful baby! Life's hard, we can only wonder why things like this happen to us, but just know that you are not alone. I'm here if you ever need to talk. I hope your lining thickens ( try progesterone) and you are ready to try again in july. I know great things will happen for you! Have faith sweetie!!! :)

I am so very sorry for your loss.  I know how difficult it is when people around you are getting pregnant without even trying while you have to struggle for years.  I can only hope that your next try is successful.  Did your dr suggest anything to thicken your lining?  I believe that there are several options available.
Good luck to you!!!
