10 days post transfer.

This journey did not go as any of us had planned. When we signed contracts last year and agreed to three transfers, I never even considered it would take more than one. I was so naïve going into this expecting it to work so easy. I now know that that is not how fertility or IVF work. The odds are literally against you, but it is so easy to forget that part. We have now completed three transfers and none were successful. People often refer to them as failed transfers, but I hate the word fail in this situation. We have put in so much effort, hope, love, and science along the way that we just expected it to work. We did everything right, covered all our bases, asked all the right questions and did all the right procedures.  There is no reason it didn't work, other than this just not being fair. If this process were fair at all, they would have a house full of kids at this point. But instead, we were handed broken hearts.
I have no regrets about this and could not have been matched with a better couple. I only hope that they find some sort of peace knowing they tried.

You are strong enough to face it all, even if it doesn't feel like it right now.
