Introducing...

We are home from the transfer!!! Today went amazing! I wasn't really nervous this morning at all. I have just felt at peace about this whole situation and this whole cycle. I guess more relaxed in knowing it is out of my hands...that if it's the time...it will happen when God gives the okay!

When we arrived at the clinic...I had to have someone take a picture of us...she was supposed to get my whole shirt, so I have another one with my shirt. I picked it out last week and just knew I had to wear it to the transfer!

We arrived at 10:00a.m. and spoke to an embryologist about our embryos...here we go! The 2 we transferred made it to the blast!!!!! I have never had any embryos make it to blast! Not only that...the 2 we transferred were great! And even better...they only freeze blasts and 3 so far had made it to blast to freeze! I KNOW...AMAZING! They are watching one more that is a compacting morula- which is the stage right before the blast...they are pretty sure it will make it also so we will have 4 frozen blasts! I can't believe it! The other remaining embryos are either stalled and some have just stopped growing. But we are so incredibly grateful for these that God gave us!
So now...without further ado...our embryos!!!! Sorry the quality is not so great...but aren't they beautiful? Please be praying these beautiful embryos will hatch out and attach to their mommy!!!!!! Thanks so much for all your support and prayers!!! We need them know even more....attach and grow babies!!!!!

Hi Sarah,

I've been following you the past month or so and your journeys from Ark to Dallas (found you from Kelly's Korner). Anyway, have been praying that this cycle will be THE ONE. Everything sounds so great. You will remain in my prayers...

Wow, amazing results! Those really are some beautiful blasts. Awesome news on the snowbabies as well!

Sorry the lady cut off your shirt, "Hope" is definitely much better than "Ho". LOL

Now for the dreaded 2ww!

Ok, I wanna know how you were smiling so big when your bladder was about to explode? ha ha! I remember counting down the minutes until I could go pee! My hubby went out in the hall and asked one of the nurses if I could go yet and she brought in a bed pan...I thought my husband was going to die! So funny! I refrained from the bed pan just for him! :)

Embryos look great! So excited for you guys!

P.s. Love the shirt! If I ever have a little girl, her middle name will be HOPE!

Whitney said...
