On June 13th we were able to get 17 eggs from our wonderful donor Elise. 11 of them matured, 7 fertilzed! On the 16th we took the best two and transfered them to me. Now it's the 30th and the wait is over! It worked the HCG levels are at 293 (anything over 100 is good).
Thank you all for the prayers and donations, which there are never enough of, the helped soo much!
Next step is to see in 2 1/2 weeks with an ultrasound the location of the sacs and maybe hear heart beats.
Love you all! Doing a Happy Dance!

Busy life
For the last two weeks or more I feel like life has just been crazy busy. I think some in part trying to fit in as much face time as possible with my brother John's family while they were here visiting. I must say we loved having them here and were sorry to see them go. I then realized that I failed to update everyone on how things are going for us on the invitro progress.
Let's see, When the donor went in for her first apointment the meds weren't there, turns out that the pharmacy company called her and because she didn't know who they were, outside company, she told them she didn't know what was up with it. So they didn't deliver it directly to her and cancled the order. Luckily the clinic had some on hand that they shuffled some around until our order could get to the clinic. No biggie, but it seemed to a rocky start to begin with.
When our donor went back into the clinic for her first follow up she wasn't stimulating as quickly as anticipaterd, so they upped the dose of drugs. This continued to be the pattern for the next two apointments. Because it's been a slower stimulation, (Which has nothing to do with her personally, or the quality of the her eggs!) with drugs increasing every time, inturn means we pay for more meds. The folical's are finally maturing!
The folicals were at 14mm on Tuesday. They are hoping that on Thurday they should be closer to the 18-19mm mark that is needed. Looks like it will be a weekend retrival. Then in turn means the transfer will happen on June 17-18th. We are keeping our fingers crossed and praying hard.
For those of you who would like to join us in a special fast this Sunday the 13th we would love all the extra prayers to help us along.
