Exciting Update!

My follicles are ready and I have quite a few they believe will produce mature eggs at retrieval. My doctor has set my retrieval for Wednesday at 10:15am! We are SO EXCITED!! I will inject ovidrel at 10:15pm tonight and this will "trigger" the follicles to ovulate. Exactly 36 hours later (10:15am, Wednesday) the retrieval will happen. At that time, I will be given general anesthesia and the process of extracting the eggs will take place.

The eggs will then be given to the embryologist who will babysit my precious embryos for 3-5 days. On the 3rd or 5th day, 1, 2, or 3 of the best embryos will be transferred back into my uterus and we will pray pray pray for a keeper! The number of embryos we transfer back will greatly depend on the quality of the embryos. Obviously, the better quality, the less we transfer back. Any remaining unused embryos will be frozen for future use. 

We are so excited, and anxious about these next few days. So many factors play a part in how all of this turns out, but I know the greatest factor is my faith! I am remaining faithful and positive that God's will is best, and that he knows what he is doing. I am leaving it in his hands! 

Please pray for a safe procedure on Wednesday and for our beautiful embryos to make it safely to transfer day. Thank you all for your love and support!
