Fabulous News!

Can I tell you how nerve racking it is sitting around waiting for someone to call you and let you know the state of your reproductive future! I was anxious all morning awaiting the phone call from Karen to let us know how many of the 13 eggs they retrieved yesterday where going to fertilize, if any... You try not the think about the fact that none of them would fertilize but at this stage in the game it was a very real possibility...but thanks to everyone's support and prayers we had 8...yes 8 fertilized eggs. Karen called around 11:30 and said of the 13 eggs that were retrieve 10 were viable (meaning 3 were not developed enough) and of those 10, 8 began to grow once introduced to Scott's half of the deal. We had 80% fertilize! I am not an IVF know it all but I have to think that is pretty darn good. We go in Sunday morning at 9 am for the transfer, how many they will transfer will be a "game time decision." What we don't transfer we can freeze and if this doesn't work we can thaw them out or later down the road if we want to try for a sibling we can use them. Thanks to everyone for their support, prayers and kind words. You have all been great and Scott and I love you all!
