Ana, from the Genetic Research Laboratory called us yesterday to tell us we now have 3 embryos as one has stopped developing. Two 8 cell and one 6 cell embryo are being analyzed until tomorrow morning where we will have, hopefully, a transfer. We have indicated that we want to transfer our healthy but non hla match, frozen embryo from our first cycle back in August. Even if we have one match tomorrow, we will transfer both. Of course this means that only one may attach and we would not know this outcome until 9 months later but at least we would have one, Julia's first hope. There is a greater success rate when 2 or 3 embryos are transfered than with only one.
I woke up very early this morning as I am thinking about tomorrow and just what the doctors will tell us as we arrive for transfer. Will there be any healthy, matches for Julia? Have any of the embryos survived to day 5 of testing? I don't know and I am preparing myself for whatever the answer will be. It is so comforting though, and amazingly wonderful to know that I do NOT control my future or my circumstances...God does. He lovingly directs my life for my best. There is nothing to fear...He's got Julia in His hands.
Until tomorrow afternoon....
Good morning . . I was up early also and then found your post . . . so happy to hear there are 3 embryos still developing!! We are standing with you and kneeling with you! Miss you all so much.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Sara,
ReplyDeleteCe n'est pas un moment agréable que celui de l'attente... mais en même temps, c'est un moment particulier où on s'en remet uniquement à Dieu.
Heureusement, auprès de Lui, on reçoit LE soutien dont on a besoin, le réconfort, et la patience!!
Bon courage à toi, Steve et les filles!
Bises,
