Sadly, neither of the two little embryos we transferred were healthy enough to grow. I had some very faint lines on the tests I took, but in the end it was a chemical pregnancy. Even knowing it was a long shot with the quality of the embryos, hearing that I wasn’t pregnant was a lot harder to take than I expected it to be. Thankfully, the couple was very comforting and at peace with it all, so that helped. They are hoping to be a support for my next journey!
In November I had an appointment with a new couple at a new clinic, but in January they decided not to move forward with everything. It was frustrating after going through the initial process all over again, but afterwards I was able to see that it was probably for the best!
On that note......
I am matched again (#5 😬) with a super sweet couple from San Francisco. They have lots of family in the DFW area, so even though they aren’t technically local, they visit here frequently! A&J have a three month old little boy that she was able to carry via IVF. She had some health issues that made pregnancy pretty rough, and ended up delivering baby T early, which caused a rare respritory distress syndrome and he had to spend some time in the NICU. Her doctors told her another pregnancy wouldn’t be safe for her or the baby, and since they want their kiddos close together, they are ready to go!! They have three girl embryos, but are just hoping for one sister for T and plan to donate the remaining embryos. J and I text daily and are both really excited for the connection we seem to have already. Yesterday we booked my flight out for next week to get my screening done at their clinic in SanFran, and they’re taking me around the area. I’ve never been and she’s already planned our meals and it all sounds delicious and I can’t wait!! Hopefully, I will only be required to fly out one more time for the transfer, but I’m hoping to be able to take the boys out there at some point!
I’ll update again after my trip, but if there’s any must see or do’s you feel like sharing, let me know!!
