Completely Overwhelmed

We've had two consecutive days of good news.  Yesterday, they called to tell us that out of the 7 eggs, 6 were mature and 5 fertilized.  I was very happy to hear that.  She said they would call to tell us how they were growing tomorrow (today).  So, I just got the call and she said all 5 embryos are growing and they are all within the top 2 grade, so we are going to a day 5 transfer.  I had myself convinced that we would do a day 3 transfer, so I am beyond happy! 

I can't explain the array of emotions I am feeling.  As soon as I see that number on my phone, I immediately start trembling.  Heart pounding.  Waiting to hear how our embryos are growing or if they're not.  After hearing the news, both days, I just wanted to fall to the ground and burst into tears.  Tears of joy, tears of relief, tears of fear...so many emotions intertwined.

But, mostly tears of joy.  I had hoped and prayed to respond to the meds, to retrieve enough eggs, for the eggs to fertilize, and to go to a day 5 transfer.  So, far this has all happened for us.  Thank God.  You can't help but feel like this is it.  This is going to work for us.  In just a few weeks, or less, I could find out that I am pregnant.  Something that I've been waiting for what seems like an eternity.  I have a new emotion that I have not had in a very long time...HOPE.
