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.
