Ode to a Cyropreserved Embryo
"....Sorry 'bout the deep freeze deal,
My eight-celled next of kin.
Mama's uterus is safe and warm,
..for fuck sake settle in...."
- M.Negative
Mrs Negative embraces her tardy Positive. Life after IVF and loving the son I never thought I'd have.

LOVE IT! I've been thinking of you today, I hope everything is going perfectly!
Hi Mony. I'm an avid lurker on infertility blogs including yours (I'm slow at writing, and if I commented or kept a blog of my own I'd never do anything else). I'm well and truly infertile myself, and so grateful to all of you who write about it - the misery and the hope. Thank you.
I just had to respond to this post because it had me spluttering my lunch all over my desk at work! You are hilarious!!
Wishing you all the best for this cycle - I so hope this is the one.
Who wouldn't want to stick around after an ode like that? Brilliant! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you all.
Hopefully this will be the first of many times that they do what you tell them to.
Yes! What she said! Listen to Mama, little embryo.
Good luck, Mony.
Thinking of you and your family.
:)

Genius. Way better than Hugo, Horace, Spenser, or Keats could've done on the subject matter.
Hope the little guy listens and makes him/her self a nice little nest to cuddle up in for a while. Good luck Mony!
i've been thinking of you all a.m. i hope this is it.
dear eight-celled friend,
LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER.
love,
another infertile who knows how much your dear mother wants this.
:-)
Kiddos, remember that mommy is always right.
Love it! And am hoping good things for you Aussie! (oi oi oi!)
Pixxiee
I hope the BEX, the pussy pops and a weekend of lying around do the trick.
I'm sure the home you have created is lovely and inviting. Just bolt the door so they can't escape.
Hang in there little embryo!
Positive thoughts coming your way Mony!
(sorry I haven't checked in in a while...)
Mony... very very clever... for goodness sake, give up your day job... too funny...
oh and fingers crossed down here in Melbourne for you
Centered and all. Excellentay, Mony. And good luck. :)
Very funny, Mony. I hope that you've made a good well-behaved embryo who listens to their mum.
Best of luck to you and the formerly-frozen one, Mony!
Great little ditty! Here's to he/she snuggling in, nice and deep.
BEST. ODE. EVER.
Oh Mony, let this be it....We all want this for you so much.
I second mellie's comment. Freaking GREAT ode.
