This wasn't supposed to happen - the chance to conceive naturally this month. This strange detour from our donated embryo up in Seattle wasn't supposed to turn into anything. And it didn't. Maya got her beta blood test results back and they matched the home test she took at 6:00am this morning. No go. Not pregnant. We're disappointed, obviously. It sucks. I'm sad. Maya's frustrated. But, again, this wasn't supposed to happen. We weren't supposed to even think about conceiving naturally. Now, we lick our wounds and get ready to go to Seattle and get that embryo that's waiting for us.
My wife is awesome and tough and - like you - doesn't deserve a day of this journey. But here we are and here we go. Shots, ultrasounds, and then a flight to the great Northwest to put in place a very giant piece of our family's puzzle.
Maya's slammed at work today but she'll update the situation later. Thank you for reading and for tweeting and for commenting and showing so much support to my wife. It gives her strength in a way you cannot fully know.

I'm so sorry to hear about the negative result. Lots of love to both of you! I'm hopeful about the embryo in Seattle!

Thanks everyone! Christiana--ugh, I'm sorry. It sucks. It all sucks! All of your support really means a lot. We will find a way to our babies...someday.

You're awesome too, Noah. Thanks for the update. We have all been following, & hoping, & sending good vibes, & waiting to hear. Give Maya a big hug from all of us!

You have no idea who I am (we've never met) but I've been reading up on your story for the past week or so. I was thinking of you both all day, hoping. It sucks.

No words. Only love for you two. Got visited by Aunt Flo today myself (trying naturally while we save for adoption and Varicocele surgery after failed IVF cycles.) Hang in there.
