Before the Call from Genesis
I know that I should be "relaxed" and put all my worries in God's hands. It's easier said than done. My mind is constantly whizzing with thoughts. In our last cycle, there was the element of the unknown and "hope". This time round, the odds of having a child are the same as last time... 3 good eggs. In our last cycle, only 1 of 3 eggs fertilized. We were hoping for more this time to increase the chances of having fertilized eggs. I don't want to admit defeat, but there is already a part of me that is mentally aching.
***************************************************************
At 10:30 this morning, a nurse from Genesis called us. It's amazing how much words can affect you. She gave us fantastic news! All 3 of our eggs fertilized! Hallelujah!!! We were ecstatic! I have to be at the clinic at 10am for embryo transfer tomorrow. The embryos were at the 1 cell stage when they called me. Tomorrow when I arrive at the clinic, they will tell me the cell stage and egg grade (quality). All 3 embryos will be transfered if all of them are exhibiting normal growth.
Once again, I am excited but at the same time scared that some of the embryos may stop growing. If I had more eggs, egg transfer would have happened on Friday (Day 3:4-8 cell stage). A Day 3 transfer means a "stronger embryo", which has a greater probability of leading to a full term pregnancy. Regardless, I am grateful for the positive news thus far.
