I had my blood drawn today to find the results of my FET and the test came back negative.
I'm very sad, but I did know this was the probable result.
It is very hard to break the news to everyone, especially my twins who have been quite interested in the whole process. They know they also started out as little embryos in a petri dish and have asked me so many questions about the whole thing. They are very well educated in infertility procedures for your average 5 year old! But Joseph told me he didn't want another little baby anyway, and Brigham told me he wasn't disappointed, after asking if maybe the doctor could just look harder to find some HCG in my blood. That made me laugh *and* cry.
So that's the end of our long IVF saga. I'm so lucky to have my three boys. Many couples go through IVF after IVF and eventually have to give up with no children at all. I am so blessed and that does make this last failure a lot easier to handle.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and positive thoughts. I sure wish this would have ended differently.

Hi Gabby,
I've been checking your blog frequently, hoping to find out the update. I have been thinking of you, feeling like you might be suffering from sadness since I haven't seen anything. I am so sorry for this, but as you said, you are blessed. I would treasure those three boys. I can truly empathize with you. It's heartbreaking.
I have also been thinking of you as I've had a silly little short-term problem with my one foot. And I've felt like such a wimp compared to you and how you've handled your trials well. You are an inspiration to me.
Dear Gabrielle,
We are also sorry that things didn't turn out differently. You are a wonderful mother, I was amazed at the reunion with your amazing attitude. We love you, Aunt Pat
