DAY 1... Check!

Dear Hope,

I know I said one day at a time and today was definitely a good day! My nurse emailed me today with the results of my fertilization report. Of the 12 eggs retrieved, 8 were mature (which they then did the ICSI process- scientific way of saying they made the magic happen) and …. 7 fertilized!!!!! This is my best fertilization rate yet!!!

SO now I just have to HOPE that all 7 EMBRYOS are strong, healthy and keep on progressing!!!!! Next milestone is for them to get to Day 3 which is Thursday. The dr will call with the update and hopefully be able to give me the status of each embryo.

So far so good… 1 day down only 5 to go!

I have a feeling this will be the longest week ever!

Kate
