Dueces

The call came in today 54 minutes ago (gotta love cell phones)! The lady who called told me her name and that she was calling about my fert report. I immediately got very nervous until I heard the words "I have good news". I am so happy to be able to blog about this because with the severity of my diminished ovarian reserve and premature ovarian failure I am just feeling so blessed to be able to even have the chance to get to this hurdle, even if I cannot jump it.

The fertility report showed that I had two mature eggs (that was the best I had hoped for, being that I had two mature follicles) and that BOTH fertilized! Thank you, JESUS!

I was so overwhelmed with joy when I heard this news. No matter what comes of this, the fact that I made two eggs that were good enough to fertilize is just amazing and such a blessing. If I am given another chance to be a pregnant woman I will be beside myself with joy!


The highlight of the call was not just to hear those words, but to hear the woman who spoke them. The woman's name was Heidi and she shared with me that she was the lady that did our first ICSI. The ICSI that brought our miracle, our son. It was she who spoke with my husband yesterday and got teary over seeing our little miracle because she helped him to make it here. I could not thank her enough. How amazing to talk to the person who helped unite our sperm and egg! I will again some day this I know when I meet the good Lord, but for now I only have the earthly presence of this stranger who helped us.

Heidi said that she feels a connection to our little miracle and stated that he is a perfect and beautiful little boy. I concur! She seemed very hopeful and when I asked her if our embryos looked good she said "they sure do". I hope that is a great sign and means that I will be able to defy the odds yet again and have a sibling for my wonderful son and extend my family.

Now I wait once more to find out if we are doing a two day or three day transfer. And then I will wait ...the dreaded two week wait (2ww) while I get my bottom shot up with progesterone.


I am so thankful!!!!
