There are two people especially on my mind tonight.
My heart is just breaking for Good Egg Hatched. If you don't already follow her, please drop by her blog and offer her some support. She's just lost her baby after a long fight with infertility, at 18 weeks.
I'm also thinking of Suzanne at Our Journey To A Baby Bump as she tries to figure out what her next steps will be, and if that includes a gestational carrier after a disappointing mock cycle.
F*** you, infertility.
Parenting after chronic infertility. Our story involves working with CCRM after experiences with diminished ovarian reserve, severe male factor infertility, 4 reproductive endocrinologists, 8 donor embryos, 2 IVFs, 6 FETS, 1 fresh donor egg cycle, 1 failed agency egg donor, 15 vitrified donor eggs, 4 surgeries for her, 1 for him, 3 miscarriages, 1 chemical and 5 canceled cycles. After seven years, one amazing couple set us on a new path by choosing us to be parents for their son.
18 weeks??? WTF. Going over there now.
