IVF chemical pregnancy

Did IVF and discovered about 10 days ago I was pregnant with our second baby, only to have a chemical pregnancy a few days later. Now I feel so low and sad but more than anything I feel guilty that I failed the baby as I didn't look after myself enough. I let some family stress get on top of me, probably didn't drink enough water and was overdoing it juggling our young first child. Now I can't help feel so much regret and guilt and kick myself wishing I had looked after the baby more and also not wasted so much money. We are planning to try again but I worry I have blown my chance to have a second baby and I can't help feel I didn't and don't deserve the opportunity to be pregnant again. I can't shake the guilt.

Nothing you did caused the pregnancy to fail, please try to believe that. So sorry for your loss, it must be devastating after going through so much to get to that point. Take the time you need for yourself to try to come to terms with it. Thinking of you.

Thank you so much for your kind words @MGee123. I'm really grateful.
