The fertilization report today is amazing!  They retrieved 28 eggs, 25 of which were mature.  The process has help in that instead of putting everything together in a dish and letting nature take it's course, they actually inject a single sperm into each egg, a procedure known as ICSI.  They are then put into an incubator and checked the next day for signs of fertilization.  Today I have 22 little embryos growing!  That's really a good number as you expect to lose some of the eggs/embryos along the way.  So I'll get another call Friday with an update on the status of the embryos.  Please continue growing little embryos!  


I also had labs drawn this AM and those results are good, my medications continue unchanged.  We leave before dawn tomorrow!


Just had a great lunch with a sweet friend who brought me a beautiful angel figurine with the tree of life on her dress.  How thoughtful and appreciated that is!
