Just wanted to give everyone a quick update on our status...
We officially have FIVE fertilized embryos growing away in the lab! PRAISE GOD! They called around lunchtime today and said that five of our eggs had fertilized...YEA! We were anxiously awaiting the phone call all morning...so much so that I watched all 4 parts of the Saved by the Bell wedding...ha! I'm so thankful that God has been so faithful at yet another important hurdle in this process! We are so proud of our five little embryos! It has been a LONG journey to get to this point! Yea!
Next step: TRANSFER! We will be heading back to San Antonio tomorrow for our transfer on Saturday. We are scheduled for a 9:30 transfer. They will be putting in the best two embryos at this point and we will be PRAYING every minute until we hear that our embryos attach! I will be resting for the next couple of days and then we will be anxiously waiting until we have a pregnancy test to see if they embryos took. We know that God has been with us up to this point and we have no reason to believe that he will not carry us through!
Several of you have asked how I'm feeling and the truth is I feel GREAT! Way better than I thought I would feel after the retrieval! I have little to no soreness and most of my nausea has gone away! Praise God! Today though, I started my hormone patch, another medication, and am beginning my progesterone injections. Basically they are pumping me full of hormones to hopefully help me achieve and sustain a pregnancy! I have heard the progesterone shots are NO FUN but honestly at this point it doesn't matter. We will do WHATEVER we have to hold our sweet babies in our arms...even if it means daily shots for three months! Our God is BIGGER than anything they can throw at us...BRING IT ON!
Thank you for your love and support! We appreciate the prayers and love daily! Please continue to pray for the transfer and that our sweet little embryos grow and develop in the next two days. God is FAITHFUL! We love you!
