3rd time…

Well guys, 3rd times not the charm..here we are again, negative results.

Whew, this is not easy.

We officially found out yesterday, but I knew pretty early on. I tested myself and all my home pregnancy tests were negative and I started spotting. I’m glad I knew rather than waiting and going through the anticipation of the official blood work phone call, but still, doesn’t make the heart break any less painful.

We do have a consultation with Dr. Miller (endometriosis specialist and IVF doc) on the 17th that I scheduled a few months ago just in case, so the fact that we have a plan helps. We will see what he says and go from there.

We used our last 2 embryos this time, so if we decide to proceed with more IVF rounds I will have to start over and go through egg retrieval again in hopes of creating more embryos, so we will see.

So many of you have been praying for us. I’ve received so many texts, emails, messages and words of support and we love and appreciate every single one of them, more than I can say.

Each failed round cuts a little deeper and takes a little longer to heal from, so it might take me a little longer, but I will rise up again ❤️

Right now Grant and I are just leaning on each other and doing what’s best for us. If we are not ourselves for a little while, it’s nothing personal, we just have to take it day by day. This husband of mine is my rock and I know with him by my side, we can weather just about any storm. We know that no matter what, there is a rainbow at the end of this for us, it’s just taking a little longer than we expected to get there 🌈

The journey continues…stay tuned!

All my love,

Michele Marie

*Side note- If your interested in seeing what this journey is like, there is a Netflix documentary called “One More Shot”. It’s about 1.5 hours long and it follows a couple through their journey. It is funny, sad, very real and relatable to anyone going through IVF/infertility or to anyone who loves someone going through it. Check it out.
