Just checking in to let my loyal blog followers (haha) know our day #1 fertilization update! Of the 11 eggs retrieved, 10 were mature and able to be fertilized last evening. As of Noon today, 9 eggs had fertilized normally with cells dividing into the stage 2 growth. We're looking for viable eggs to develop to stage 4 on tomorrow's report and praying that these eggs will continue growing if God sees fit. It's a bit harsh but what the embryologist are looking for is "survival of the fittest" so that the best egg(s) can be implanted with the best chances of attaching to my uterine lining for a pregnancy!
I hope that my honesty doesn't freak anyone out; however, it is part of the IVF process that we had to accept when deciding to take this journey.
