Status Update

Here's just the basics of where we are in the process......

On Thursday, May 9, 2013- We had our Egg Retrieval.  They retrieved 19 eggs.  14 of the eggs were mature, and 2 more matured in the lab, giving us a total of 16 mature eggs.  They froze 7 eggs & fertilized 9.

Friday, May 10, 2013- Found out that we had 100% fertilization of all 9 eggs.

Sunday, May 12, 2013- (Mother's Day) They cancelled our Day 3 transfer.  The embryos were developing well, so we pushed the transfer to Day 5.

Tuesday, May 14, 2013- 9:30 showed up for our 10:00 appointment for our Day 5 transfer; They transferred 2 PERFECT blastocysts (even though they tried their hardest to convince me to just do one).  They also froze 2 blastocysts (this is just what the embryos are called at this stage) today.  The other 5 embryos were a little behind in development, so they were going to continue to watch them to see if they got to the blastocyst stage.  Any that would get to this stage would be frozen.

Wednesday, May 15, 2013- We got the final call from our doctor's office about our remaining embryos.  One more embryo made it to the blastocyst stage and was frozen.  The other four embryos stopped developing and were not viable.  :(

Thursday, May 16, 2013- took my final day off of work to rest/relax and hopefully grow these babies. 

So, this leaves us with:
-2 embryos transferred & currently in utero :)
-3 embryos frozen (at the blastocyst stage)

We will go next Friday, May 24th in the morning for a blood Beta test to find out if the pregnancy(ies) was successful. 

All continued prayers are greatly appreciated. :)
