Getting discouraged

Rachel

In March my husband and I got pregnant (happy 30th birthday husband) then on April 26th (6days after my 30th birthday) I was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery due to our pregnancy being an ectopic pregnancy. We already have a beautiful 2yr old son that is our world but we truly want to give him a sibling, he specifically asks for a baby brother. We’ve been trying for the last 2-3 months (this past month I even got ovulation testing strips) but each month I’m met with sadness and disappointment of getting my period. My husband thinks that I am trying to fill a void and not wanting to get pregnant for the right reasons. NOTHING will ever replace the child we lost at 8weeks but I do want another child with my husband. I just don’t know what to do to help me not think about it as much (as I cry in my office at work typing this). My child was supposed to be due around December 6th and I know it’s going to be an extremely difficult month for me that my husband has told me to stop thinking about it so much. I don’t know how men (maybe not all but my husband at least) can lose something so precious and not seem phased by this loss. I just need some encouragement because I’m just feeling like it’s not going to happen for us again. (With my surgery they did remove one of my tubes)

Thanks for reading! Pic is of the worst day of my life but thankfully I asked the dr is they had the ultrasounds when they were confirming it was an ectopic pregnancy. I’m grateful to have something of my child.
