Update

Nothing new to report other than the remaining embryos did not survive the freezing process. Which means we are ALL in this time.  I talked to the doctor and only 20-25% of embryos survive in frozen egg donor cycles. So I will try to remain positive and pray that the next week will go by quickly.  I have a blood test on July 1 and will know the results that day.  Keeping the faith!

Embryo transfer day'

Procedure went really well.  The doctor and embryologist commented during the process about how well they nestled in the right place in my uterus.  So now we just wait.  I'm exhausted so I'm home drifting in and out of sleep.
So Monday we had 8 embryos, we put 2 in and may or may not have 2 to freeze.  Four did not survive the week.  The embryologist said that's very typical when using frozen eggs.  Obviously I'm disappointed because we may not have anything to freeze BUT I feel optimistic about this and so do the doctors.
I will update as things unfold. Thank you for all the love and support!

Catching Up

Without going in to all the details of how we got to the place we are now......I thought I'd share what's going on lately.  Dan and I decided to pursue parenthood using an egg donor.  This gives us a higher chance of success and since we are so low on money, morale, sanity, etc......we decided to go for it.  Right now I'm preparing my body for the embryo transfer next week.  Please keep us in your thoughts (if anyone is reading this!).  I will keep you posted.
