Cycle Day 16 - July 23, 2009

Yesterday during lunch, my husband decided to make a personal committment to God just as I have these past few weeks. My committment was to not eat meat for breakfast and lunch and he has decided to not make cursive remarks (i.e. swear). Over the course of the past few years, he has developed a potty mouth. So his personal committment will be a difficult one for him.

I didn't sleep well last night. I was too nervous about today's outcome. Now with our trip to Genesis this morning. Yesterday we had the estatic news of having all 3 of our eggs fertilize. Being as scared as we are, we want to be prepared for the worst news: what if all of the eggs stopped growing...

Well after 24 hours, only 1 of the 3 eggs continued to grow to its 4 cell stage. We were disappointed, but still glad that we still have at least 1 embryo to transfer. However, this puts us in the same scenario as our last IVF cycle. 1 embryo transfer on Day 2... deja vue... and here on in is where the roller coaster of emotions will begin...

The nurse told us that we could use an OTC pregnancy test on Aug 6th. Anything before then would be relatively inaccurate. They have scheduled a blood test for me on August 7th. This is by far the worst part of the pregnancy journey, these next 2 weeks.
