Today, We Are Blessed

Out of the 12 eggs retrieved, 10 were mature...and 7 have fertilized!

That's right, we have 7 embabies as of this morning. That's much better than the phone call I received during IVF #1 saying that we only had 1. The embryologist will let them stay in the incubator until early Tuesday. We will get a call that morning to let us know how many have continued to survive, and if we are going to do a transfer on Tuesday or Thursday. They will transfer the 2 best embryos and freeze the remaining for future use.

Just a small favor...we appreciate your enthusiasm and support for our situation. However, this blog was created as a forum to share personal information about our infertility with those we wish to share it with. All of our family, close friends, and the fellow bloggers who come across it are welcome to this blog. Please respect our privacy by not posting our private matters as comments/status updates on a public forum, i.e. facebook, myspace, etc. This has spawned from several incidents, not just one in particular. All of those we wish to communicate our information to have been led to this blog, which is unsearchable by search engines. Let's face it...facebook is the world's biggest gossip mill, and my ex boyfriend from 6th grade doesn't need to know about my wonky reproductive system. Please direct all of your comments to this site. Thanks:)

Please pray that our "Lucky 7" continue to divide and stay healthy. We want to thank everyone for all of the prayers lately...they worked!

God is good.

I am very happy to hear your news, that is an amazing change! Fingers crossed for you. We also went through our first IVF earlier this year, now considering a second, and have been trying to conceive for the past 5 years. So I can imagine how much it means.
