I have totally come to terms with being infertile, until all of a sudden , I have learned that I'm not so infertile. I'm pregnant. I know I "should" be happy, although I was totally content with my life and now feel that this is somewhat "unwanted" at this stage in my life. I feel terrible, but I have no idea how to change my feelings. Does anyone have any suggestions for me, I just don't want either one of them to feel bad, ever, whether it is my "chosen" son who was adopted or the "oops" baby on the way. I don't even feel like I know who I am, I've developed such a thick skin to being infertile, I'm just so confused. It's also somewhat an identity crisis. Please help??

First, congratulations on both of your children!
Second, my thoughts and prayers go out to you--I can only imagine how mixed up and emotional this time is for you.
Finally, I have no personal experience to share, but I do read a blog from a very honest, funny, and well spoken woman who does. She battled infertility, adopted from China and found herself pg a year or so later. It may help.
