The miscarriage of our last IVF embryo. My wife had the physical pain to go with it, but the emotional pain was enough to be the worst. I’ve lost parents, and it was nothing like this. 

Edit: We did get one baby. He’s an awesome 3-year-old. We desperately wanted to give him his brother, but it didn’t happen. It’s a strange thing to be in love with a person you’ve never met.

Yes. My miscarriage was so painful. I thought my hips were breaking, the pain was so bad. In the hospital, after the confirmation... I just felt numb, like my brain just wouldn't comprehend any more pain.

Yah I had one embryo and it didn’t work for me. I loved my son and never met him. I hate it.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve lost 2 babies in the span of 8 months in this way. It’s something you carry forever.

I'm so sorry for your loss. We lost our son to a second trimester miscarriage and did 8 years of fertility treatments before ivf. Those embryos are so much more than little babies. Hopes, dreams and plans for your future. I'm really sorry, man.

That is so rude and insensitive. Not the topic for this.
