The Results of Egg Retreival

I had my eggs retrieved on Wednesday and they were able to get five. Even though I had nine follicles, sometimes the follicles do not hold eggs. This is a learning process for both Roon and I so we learn new things every day. I started crying when I heard just five after waking up. I admit that I had hoped I would have a lot more, but I have to remember that I have no control over this. Our nurse at the ARTS center was talking to me and really encouraging me telling me that all we need is one! She is a Christian and was speaking words of life into me - and that is just what I needed.
Today the embryologist called and of the five, 2 fertilized! So as it stands now we are doing a day three transfer on Saturday morning of two. As we learned in our adoption process - we have to have Faith and that God's hand is in this situation.
Roon told me last night not to be disappointed if only two fertilize....he said that he had been praying and that is the number he felt God was giving him. We hold strong and thank you for all your support and prayers. Friday I start the big honking needle shots of progesterone - yeah they are a bit scary.
