I cleaned out my purse this morning and found the picture the embryologist gave us of our embryo on transfer day, nearly a month ago. I've saved the picture each time we transferred, but for some reason I felt the need to carry it around with me. When we lost the pregnancy I couldn't part with it just yet.
I was thinking of doing something with the four embryo pictures, like framing them or putting them in a book. Is that morbid? It might be a little weird but I want a physical reminder of the babies that may have been, not to mention how much money those photoshoots cost...
I don't think my husband cares either way, but I know some people say that it's a way to harp on the past instead of focusing on the future. What are your thoughts?

I think you should absolutely do it. There may be times when you want to look at it often, and times when you want to hide it away, but it will be great to have for the moments you do want to look and remember. And I don't think it's morbid at all. I think these embryos and all it took to get there are a big part of your life-- and one that shouldn't be swept under the rug.
ReplyDeleteI don't t think it is morbid to keep the pictures. I still have every ultrasound image from each of my three pregnancies that we lost. They aren't framed, but right now they are in McLovin's room in a large envelope. I don't know what I will eventually do with them, but I will never part with them.
