Hope the never ending story was good. It's one of my favorites! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theres-always-next-time#post-200386 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 09:21:16 +0000 sslm 200386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@akire: I'm so sorry it didn't work out.

If you ever want more info, I'm always around... but I also totally understand my friends who want to take their fertility experience to it's natural conclusion.</p> <p>Glass of wine, feet up and good movie (and maybe a sweet treat) make everything better :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theres-always-next-time#post-200302 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 23:17:48 +0000 akire 200302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks Jennimac!<br /> Mrs. Jacks, thanks for calming my renter fears. It helped calm a Saturday night internet spiral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theres-always-next-time#post-200300 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 23:09:16 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 200300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry :( I know it must be hard. With respect to adoption, people will certainly choose a family who rents. Your homestudy will say that you are renters, but your profile does not need to. I have plenty of renter friends who have adopted. My only advice would be to set aside your adoption money and don't spend so much on fertility treatments that you don't have enough funds to adopt if the treatments don't work out.</p> <p>Hugs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theres-always-next-time#post-200298 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 23:01:51 +0000 singingbee 200298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry it didn't work out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theres-always-next-time#post-200294 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 22:55:48 +0000 akire 200294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi Bees,<br /> Long time no chat. As you may or may not remember, the hubby and I tried to get pregnant via a gestational surrogate. Well, sadly, after only having one viable embryo to implant, said embryo did not stick around. So we're back to square one.<br /> Our lovely surrogate is happy to try again, but we're looking at a severe depletion of funds as we had hoped to have additional embryos to freeze, and instead, we have to do the entire process again, and hope that we get at least one viable embryo.<br /> To be honest, it's been rough. I've read how hard fertility issues can be, but I always thought I was somehow going to be tough and brave and hopeful. I was wrong.<br /> I'm tired of getting questions from family about when we'll try again. I have a co-worker who has just had a baby born via surrogate, and another co-worker is having a baby shower tomorrow for the twins he's expecting via surrogate. Not to mention all of the facebook friends on their third kid. I'm 31, how have so many people found time to have THREE kids??<br /> I know, I know, I need to chill out. It's just hard sometimes.<br /> We're open to adoption, but I don't know if anyone is going to want to adopt to renters (even if it's LA where homes are insane).<br /> Argh. Sorry if this was rambling. Just wanted to vent, and share a sigh with my IVF sisters.<br /> xo </p>
