Post Procedure Thoughts

An acrostic dedicated to my embryos and bad decisions.

The only evidence left of a twin pregnancy conceived in 2018. Maybe a singleton pregnancy would have been sustainable, but twins never stood a chance. Heart rates were 132 and 139. (photo owned by author)

Wallow in pity and swallow your bitter pill
Extrapolate hate
Be lighter than a brick; don’t drown the ones you love
Stake your claim and humanize features
Tell your self-loathing: we’re just not there yet
Even still, be realistic
Religiously make love to your regret
