And the good news keeps coming...

This morning we went for our last appointment with Dr. Hudson before we leave Victoria tomorrow morning. I felt awesome when I woke up this morning, and from my ultrasound things look great. Dr. Hudson said I was a Superstar because he poked me with a needle 50 times yesterday and I still woke up feeling great which he thought was incredible. I told him that yesterday it felt like he poked me 50 times we a needle and I was very uncomfortable and in pain...but after resting all day and a good nights sleep...I feel great! Like I said...I'm a trooper..takes a lot more to set me back than a few needle pokes.
So anyways...I feel good...I'm recovering well. I still have to take it easy (which is easier said then done)..but looks good so far.
On top of that good news we found out more about our eggs/embryos.
Turns out there was actually only 46 eggs retrieved yesterday. The 47th was just a clump of cells that looked like an egg. Still a record of course..lol. 46 is a lot!!
Of those 46 eggs that were retrieved.....44 were mature (meaning able to be fertilized). Of the 44 mature eggs....39 are fertilizing (becoming embryos)!! WOAH! 39 babies in the making??? What?! Now of course after 5 days (when they will be frozen) that number will have gone down (i'll keep you all posted on what it is) but still...it's going to be a lot higher than I ever dreamed possible.
Thank you Lord!

You have a plan and you have made a way and I am so very grateful. 

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me -Philippians 4:13


Jeremiah 29:11-14For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me. When you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes..


Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts and support.
I'm still recovering a bit....slightly sore but doing well, so please continue to keep me in your prayers.

Next step is not so far away. Aiming for a June 1st transfer date.

Thanks again for your love and support,

God Bless,

Jen
