I'm so sorry about the loss of your much wanted baby.

I have not had any miscarriages myself but tried and failed to fall pregnant for three years before one very lucky IVF cycle gave us our boy. I know a little about those awful feelings that you wish you didn't have.

I too didn't wish ill of others who had children but I just couldn't bear to look at babies and pregnant bellies and I really couldn't handle being king hit emotionally every time someone announced a pregnancy. It's got to be one of the most invisible forms of grief out there but it is no less valid for being so.

Monnie is right - look at your needing space as a bit of self preservation because that is what you need most at the moment.

IVF is never a certain road for sure but it does offer more hope. I wish you all the best for the journey ahead.
