We got the news today that out of our 16 eggs, only 2 fertilized.
We are disappointed, but we trust in God's plan. It is easy to say that I trust Him, if I have a back-up plan of other embryos that we can try again with. It is going to take true, 100% faith to believe that 2 embryos may be all that He needs. That in His sovereignty, He will provide for us all that we need. He is in control and He needs no back up plan.
We are scheduled for our transfer on Wednesday morning, assuming that our embryos survive until then. I start another round of injections and steroids to do everything possible to maintain the pregnancy after implantation.
Please pray that the embryos cells will continue to divide and grow and that we will have the opportunity to have them transferred in. My maternal instinct is crying out, "Just put them in me so that I can nurture them and give them all that they need!"
No news between now and Wednesday is good news. Until then, we are just going to have to take one day at a time.

Jenni ~ I know that you were disappointed to hear that only 2 fertilized...but I see it as WOW! 2 FERTILIZED!!!!!! Isn't that awesome?!?! Keep trusting in the Lord, turn to Him and try (I know it's hard) to keep pressing forward. The Lord's timing and plans are perfect. Praying for you!
Congratulations, Jennifer! This is a victory! This is a miracle!
Remember - "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." (Exodus 14:14)
I am praying for your two precious babies.
