Fert Report of my Embabies!!!

The magic number is 13! Woot.......I am soooooo pleased and feel like I can breathe now that I have heard from the Embryologist. Got a call around 12:45 and I was getting a little nervous after being told they would call me from 10-12. No news was good news:) So the Embryologist said that 18 were mature and 13 made it through today. She said that everything look excellent and they were very pleased with 13! She said immediately that they were going to do a 5 day transfer for Monday at 10:15 a.m and that she was pretty certain we would have 10 by saturday and she hoped we would have 5 or more for transfer day. She said the sperm looked great as well as the whole process. We couldn't be happier. My DH said "and you thought my juice wasn't good!" Haha. His juice is doing very well. She also said that I was a perfect candidate for a 1 embryo transfer because of how well things are going, but she said she would tell me saturday how the embryos look and if they look "fair/good" she might advise us to do 2. This decision is going to be a hard one because I WANT this sooooo bad & we had already planned to implant 2, but now I am second guessing our decision. I am going to talk this over thoroughly with DH and then saturday talk with embryologist and hopefully our decision making will be a little easier. I am going to be doing some searching around on web about 1 embryo vs 2 embryo transfer.

As of right now I am just excited that we have created embie babies and that something that we've been unable to do due to my blocked tubes is now becoming a reality! I pray that God will get our perfect little angel or angel's ready for transfer on Monday! I can't believe that 13 days from now we will be having a blood test done to determine if we are with child. Until then I am going to enjoy the embryo(s) in my belly and not take one moment for granted. Thank you Lord for allowing us this amazing oppurtunity!

As far as my body post retrieval, I am doing better, but sore and gassy. What is up with the gas?! Geez..:) I could do without that. My mom came and hung out with me today and was here with me when embryologist called & she was soooooo excited. She has been enjoying this whole process and I hope and pray she will become a proud grandparent of a special baby Jones:) My sweet family and friends have done fundraising for us and are hosting a Spaghetti Dinner at my church next friday & we have already had an outpouring or support and love through monetary gifts and donations of food for fundraiser! We are so blessed. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us in the next few weeks! I know these next 13 days will go by so slow, but it's all going to go just as God see's fit. I don't see how people get through infertility struggles without Jesus. He has been with me through every neg preg test and gave me the strength to keep going. This whole journey has changed my life & I wouldn't trade a thing.

What I found out today?? The progesterone shot was a piece of cake. I don't know if it is because my OB's office did it for me or what, but not bad at all. This eases my nerves. I was pretty freaked out about 1 1/2 inch needle, but just like everything else it has been easier than I expected! I sure hope I get to take these shots for 10 weeks! That will mean I am preggers...woot woot:)

Let me show you this picture of my back and where the anesthiologist marked me for my PIO shots for my DH to know exactly where to hit me......My nurse friend freaked when she saw how high and the position of the markings:( She said your sciatic nerve is right there. So she changed the spot and showed me where the shot SHOULD go. Thank God I seen her today. Well tried to upload it, but will try again very soon!

Happy Blogging and God bless each of you!
