Our nurse just called to inform us that only 4 out of the 9 eggs fertilized. This is discouraging, for the moment, as we have had worked very hard for this third try with suppliments and added growth hormones. In perspective, it is positive that even 4 have fertilized. We could have none.
Now we wait and pray each day that these four little guys will continue to stay alive and keep developing as to be analyzed by day 5. I'm not worrying about tomorrow because today definately has enough stressors of it's own. Who can add one day to his life by being anxious? Instead of worrying, I'll turn turn those heavy burdens into prayers knowing that God hears me and gives me unexplainable peace that keeps me grounded.
Here's an encouraging email from a friend who has also walked this path of IVF/PGD:

I so appreciate your prayers over the next 4 days of pgd (preimplantation genetic diagnosis).
Thank you for you kind comments, prayers and wishes!
