An Embryo for Christmas

I know you probably read the title and are in need of some clarity for my unique Christmas wish. I'm not wishing for my own embryo (this is an egg and sperm combined) but instead a frozen embryo created by another couple that will grow in my belly making my dream of being a mom finally come to fruition. If you heard the recent news story about the woman who gave birth to a 24 year old embryo, it's like that except the embryos we've picked out are not that old. When you see my Infertility carol below you will understand why a growing embryo would be a miracle for me. It may seem light hearted for the emotional content, but please understand as I've ridden the spectrum of emotions of Infertility the thing that has kept me going aside from my faith and husband is my sense of humor. On the first year of Christmas, my Infertility gave to me....varicose veins for my hubby and for me a coconut sized uterine fibroid tumor followed by a myomectomy. (Large veins in the testicles and like a c-section but instead of a baby, I got a tumor.) On the second year of Christmas my Infertility gave to me my fertility doctor sharing I'd never conceive on my own naturally. On the third year of Christmas my Infertility gave to me 29 hours of foster care training which led to being a temporary mommy...for 5 months until the state ripped away the two girls who changed my heart. -3 rounds of IVF. -2 miscarriages. -2 near deaths in egg retrieval, a sleep study, an EKG and 1 D&C. (This removes the tissue that was your baby.) On the fourth year of Christmas my Infertility gave to me testing for a blood clotting disorder with 3 months of waiting to determine that there was nothing wrong with me. One more IVF round. A vasovhagul response determined so no near death during retrieval all leading to my hubby's return of variococele (who knew varicose veins could grow back?) On the fifth year of Christmas my Infertility gave to me rejection from international adoption, a mound of paperwork, invasive interviews and a long process for domestic adoption to be. Oh Infertility don't you have a Christmas surprise for me? In the middle of this $44,000 journey of domestic adoption, I got an email that changed the course of my journey: embryo adoption. This means I would get to carry my adopted baby. And it's a lot cheaper than domestic adoption. So here we are with our embryos picked out from Georgia. My body has been cleared to be in good shape to carry this baby. So far these embryos have worked for three other couples with two of them having twins. Our transfer is in January. Right now I'm diligently following my medication regimen awaiting the date. So my Christmas wish is for our chosen embryos to turn into healthy babies who bring our long awaited parenting dream to fruition. Could this be the happy ending destination we've been trying to get to on our infertility road.?!.?!
