Hi Bees,
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.
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.
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.
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??
I know, I know, I need to chill out. It's just hard sometimes.
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).
Argh. Sorry if this was rambling. Just wanted to vent, and share a sigh with my IVF sisters.
