Answered Prayer

Today I am thrilled to share praise and answered prayer. Although the embryo transfer took place an hour & a half late, everything else went as smoothly as possible. We had four embryos--two for today and two to freeze for a later date. Yeah, baby! That's exactly what we prayed for and double what we produced during the last IVF. Praise God!

Now I am in resting mode. I am trying to lie down and relax for the next few days. Although it's not mandatory, there's peace of mind in knowing that I did everything I could to facilitate implantation. Hopefully as I write, two teeny little embryos are finding a warm, cozy place to settle in for the next nine months. My first pregnancy test will occur on Friday, April 11th (right before Mothers' Day). Wouldn't a positive pregnancy test be the most poetic Mothers' Day gift? I sure think so! And that's my prayer.

In the meantime, I continue to undergo nightly progesterone injections to support pregnancy. I also take my prenatal vitamins, Folgard supplements to correct my enzyme deficiency and low-dose aspirin to thin my blood. Hopefully this regimen will help create the perfect environment for a healthy pregnancy.

In my next post, I will answer the question posed in the comment section. I will also include a picture of our embryos as a visual aid (yes, we already have a photo of our would-be children). Advanced reproductive technology is such a complex science--it's mind blowing!

Thanks again for your support and encouragement through this process. I appreciate you. Praying for implantation and healthy growth, Ramona
