My Journey down roads unknown....with Him

Yesterday was the day we found out what happened for the past 5 days in me! The doctor removed the device and immediately took to the lab. Then it was just waiting for a few min. She came back and told us the results.  All four eggs fertilized but two didn't make it past a couple days. One was a little slow but still growing and one was perfect! The first picture of life! So with a full bladder, we went to transfer room to transfer two little guys. The full bladder pushes on the uterus so they can see to transfer.  It didn't really take long at all. They used a belly sonagram to see and put a catheter into the uterus and released the little Embryos.  You could see it the whole time on the screen. They even printed off a picture of it for me.  B is bladder 🤤CX is cervix, Ct is catheter and the E is the Embryos.  So now we just wait. Patience, trust . Continuing to ask Him for peace, because he knows best. After Christmas I will go back for bloo...

Everything looked great! So today was retrieval Day! We ended up with 4 eggs.  So the eggs and sperm went in the little invocell and I am now incubating them for 5 days! So our next big day is Saturday when we see how many fertilized.  On average it's usually 50% but we will see. Retrieval was more painful than I thought it would be, but I did have a conscious sedative. One ovary was more behind the uterus so it was harder to get to the follicles. I got to watch her on the ultrasound screen go to follicle and empty it. Pretty neat. Afterwards I was a little loopy, but Ok. Ben bought me some yummy chicken soup and when I got home I crashed for a while.

So had second ultrasound and bloodwork  Monday. Everything looked normal. Little follicles growing slowly like they are supposed to, not crazy fast like last time. Had another ultrasound Thursday,  and some follicles were getting close to size but wanted to let others grow a bit more. Went in Friday for another. Looking good. Retrieval is set for Monday morning! Trigger shot tonight.  A little paranoid today that I'm ovulating early again so going to go in for a check in the morning to just ease my mind . This is no easy road. Emotions and hormones and life just make it crazy. Thankfully I have an awesome hubby who made me a great dinner tonight and helped me relax . Also after praying for peace  God is helping me have peace of mind as well.

So here we are, round two. Last Tues I had my baseline ultrasound and lab work on day one of my cycle.  Everthing looked good. I have been on Lupron for two weeks hopefully making sure my body won't ovulate so early this time . Started my other meds, menopure, Friday night. Grow little follicles. Tomorrow morning I have my second ultrasound and bloodwork. Always lots of emotions involved, you can't help it. Maybe a few more cautions this time, hoping nothing else happens again. It's in God's hands and no matter what, he is in control . So I choose to trust!
