Our family is complete.
Despite frequent and fervent prayer, little Bertie didn't stick.
We would have spent well over $10,000 in the last twelve months, giving each of our seven frozen embryos a chance at life and trying for a fourth little miracle.
I could tell myself I should have lost weight. Eaten differently. Meditated more. I could look back at each moment, trying to find where I went wrong.
But I'm not. I'm choosing to believe that it just wasn't meant to be.
I'm going to be extra gentle with myself as I go through the inevitable nausea, abdominal pain and emotional upheaval that a sudden withdrawal from high doses of hormone therapy brings.
I'm going to celebrate and enjoy the beautiful family that I have.

And I'm going to move into the future with confidence, knowing that I gave it my all.
No regrets.
