Incase you thought you had it worse

I never really do this and I normally post anonymously but I’ll share my story. I’m 25 and have been TTC with my husband now 4 years 1month and 3 days. I am 4th out of 6 siblings all who have kids except me. I was told at 13 I would not be able to conceive due to PCOS. Who cares about pregnancy at 13 far from my mind. Met when I was 19 he was 26. Got married at 21. And after trying for 2 years without success we were told I could only get pregnant with <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">fertility treatment</a>. We did <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. 6 eggs retrieved 5 fertile one transferred and only one survived long enough to be frozen. My fresh cycle failed and so we had to do a frozen transfer and finally after trying for 3 years 9months we were pregnant with our last egg. I was so excited for the fact that my younger brothers wife was expecting my younger sister was expecting and my older sister was expecting we were all pregnant. At my 8 week 6 day ultrasound there was no heart beat. I had seen my baby alive and well heard the heart beat loud and clear and just like that his little body was there and slowly he disappeared. I had no signs, no spotting, no bleeding nothing. I waited a month in hopes that my body would finally understand I am no longer pregnant but my body wanted it sooo bad it just latched on to my baby. My dr recommend a D&C it was time and I was prone to infection if I continued to wait. I went in for my procedure but while asleep the dr told me I latched on to my stomach and just cried unconsciously conscious knowing that my baby was gone. I waited for my period to show and as each day and week and month went by I sat by and watched as my sisters bellies grew one with her 2nd the other with her 4th and my brothers wife with there 1st and me just empty. Then finally May 1st my brothers daughter was born I was an Auntie again and just like that perfect timing my body remembered I was no longer a mother and Aunt Flo showed just like that I became an aunt and in matter of secs I started to bleed the heaviest period ever. So here I am desperately waiting to have my turn finally. But the saddest part is someone out there has it worse than I do. I know my baby boy is some where better I just know it’s not going to get any easier when baby 2 than 3 come and then it was going to be you my dear baby.
