How can I come to terms with secondary infertility?

Im sorry to message on here but I feel so hopeless. I’ve just had my fifth miscarriage in a row. Once again it’s missed so I thought things were progressing and found out at a scan. This time round I’m under the care of a fertility specialist and was taking, aspirin, progesterone, clexane and prednisone.
i just feel so alone and im so so so grateful for my daughter but I’ve always wanted another child and im so distraught that it’s not going to happen.
I just don’t know what to do. Do I try again even though this will almost certainly happen again? Or do I somehow give up and accept a life I never wanted or planned for. I don’t even know how.
im sorry, I know this is heavy, I just don’t know anyone in my situation and feel like it’s awkward and uncomfortable for others to talk about so I feel alone

I’m so so sorry. I don’t really have anything useful to add, but didn’t want to ignore your post. This must be devastating for you. I hope you’ve got the support you need around you to process, and that you can have some expert advice when you feel ready re options if you want to proceed again.

This is really hard and im so sorry for all you have lost. Have you thought about having embryos tested if thats something you havnt done yet. This could help eliminate any embryos that may not be viable. I dont think you need to give up just yet if you can explore other option even though right now its a very hard time.

I’m so sorry, it’s such an awful feeling. I presume from what you’re saying that you are not having IVF and that you can get pregnant fairly easily, but are then having miscarriages. Have you been referred for tests etc? I think nobody can really make the decision on whether to keep going except you. What age are you? Can you take a break to recover before deciding if you want to try again?
