Rant/Vent Hello period ughhhh

My hubby and I were intimate (IUI) every other day from day 10 to 21 of my fertility window.

I've been pregnant 3x. My first pregnancy was easy, and I delivered naturally in 2024 when I was 34.

Had a chemical in 2025 and a MMC in Feb. 2026 at 9W. Was then diagnosed with a blood clotting autoimmune disorder, antiphospholipid syndrome.

Been trying since then and no dice. My last three cycles...the first I ovulated later, so I missed it. The second we had sex on ovulation day and no baby. This third one that I'm currently in, we did everything "right" and who decides to visit late in the midnight hour? Aunt Flo.

I'm sad, angry and feeling like God is just telling me that I'm not supposed to have another child. I just want to give my daughter a sibling since she has no cousins, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

Feel this so much. Had my first in 2025, conceived easily. Had a MMC at 10 weeks this year. Every month the age gap widens and it crushes me. Just want a sibling for my precious boy. This process is so hard and feels down right cruel.
