IVF Update

I had my egg retrieval on Monday and we got 14 eggs.  On Tuesday, they called to let us know that out of the 14 eggs, 13 were mature and 9 fertilized. The plan was to do a embryo transfer on Thursday morning, but they called to let us know it had been changed to Saturday because the embryos are doing well.  We should find out today what time we need to be there in the morning, but hopefully we will have a good embryo to transfer. Please pray for us on this journey. May God's will be done!

Friday Favorites

Linking up today with Erika for.....


I wasn't able to post much on the blog during March because it was so busy!  In the second week of March, my aunt "Sis" passed away.  I feel she deserves a post of her own, so I will be sharing in the next couple of weeks.  We also begin IVF #2 last week.

Last August we completed IVF#1, and it ended with one frozen embryo. I am currently taking three shots a day Follistim, Menopur, and Ganirelix. Yesterday I had 15 follicles with 9 of those being mature (containing an egg). I go back to the doctor this morning for another follicle check.  We are hoping for the egg retrieval on Monday, but we are waiting to see how the follicles grow tonight.

Please pray for us as we continue this journey.  I know that the entire process is in the hands of our awesome God. He knows exactly how many embryos we will end up with and exactly how this journey will proceed.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Now for Friday Favorites....

  • Chambray Button-Down Shirt

I have a chambray shirt I got from Gap Outlet about three years ago, and it is WORN out.  I love that shirt, so I had been looking for another chambray to replace it.  I ordered this last week and I love it.

J Crew Dress

I bought a similar dress last year, and I love it.  Mine is just scalloped at the bottom and top without the cutouts.  It is very comfortable.
