Egg Update

Lucy, the embryologist, called to tell me about my precious eggs! Out of the 12 that were retrieved only 8 were actually mature. The egg has to be mature in order to fertilize. Out of the 8 that were mature, 7 fertilized! She said she would call me tomorrow to update me on the eggs to tell me which ones made it to the pre-embryo stage (meaning starting to divide in cell number). I am praying I have 1 to 2 that make it to the blastocyte stage (8 cells) and I can do a 5-day transfer. I am so glad God is in control of this entire situation and not me! Lucy did say that they did to ICSI to fertilize my eggs. ICSI is where they actually inject my egg with the sperm instead of just allowing them to fertilize on its own. Please continue to pray!!!!
