Sometimes we travel on a journey that doesn't take us from point A to point B like we had expected. We take detours along the way and finally when we come to our destination although it was a different route than planned we are happy that we took it. This is how I feel right now.
A few months ago I was with a great couple who suddenly decided to stop the process. Shocked, saddened and confused by their choice we decided that our end goal was to help a couple and that's what we were going to do. After putting the call out I quickly had three couples interested. It's such a hard decision to make. Having the power to decide who you work with is heart wrenching. One couple gets the greatest news in the world. The other two are left to pick up and start the search again.
We chose a couple who was local to us because that's what we had experienced the past year. We liked the idea of date nights and being so close to each other for appointments.
That was in April. Now we are on the eve of our IFV transfer. We have gone through the tests and the meetings with the Dr....now it's baby time! Saturday was the egg retrieval. 11 eggs were retrieved and fertilized. As of Sunday there were 8 embryos. I forgot to ask yesterday how many were left or their quality but in the end it doesn't matter. It only takes one.
So, if you're a praying person I ask you to send a prayer up for us. Please pray for sticky vibes and the healthiest baby this wonderful couple could ask for. The next ten days will be the longest as we wait for the time to take a pregnancy test. There are things I'm not looking forward to....morning sickness, heartburn, loss of sleep, but in the end it will all be worth it. Time to bring a new little person into the world!
