IVF Update Round 2 Part II

On Thursday, May 12th, I had my egg retrieval in Birmingham and everything went well! They retrieved 28 eggs, 25 were mature, and 19 began to fertilize that first day. We will know the final embryo count later on today! Please be in prayer as we await that news! 

This weekend though, I have felt absolutely terrible. The overstimulation of my ovaries had me sick most of the weekend, with a big scare Saturday afternoon where I had to call the on call nurse at AFS. I ended up taking Monday off of work just to make sure I was good before heading back to work. 

We are so hopeful, and as always cannot express how thankful we are for each one of you and your prayers! It has been a long journey, but God's got it! 

Love, Katey

I will probably create a new post with the final count! And isn't this verse of the day perfect for today! 

IVF Round 2 Update

 We have been rolling right along with our IVF cycle. I honestly just haven't had much time to update on the blog. Last week I started my monitoring appointments. I came out of the first one really bummed. It was not what I expected especially after my medicine dosage went up from the first round. However, God showed out and the second monitoring (Thursday 5/5) appointment was so good that I didn't even have to go over the weekend as they had planned. My next monitoring appointment is Monday (5/9). 

As of right now, the plan is for the egg retrieval to be on Wednesday (5/11) in Birmingham! I will probably be back next week to update on how it went! We won't know until next week anyway how many made it to be frozen. Just continue to keep us in your prayers! We are so excited, but nervous at the same time! We have to continue to trust that God has us during this process! 

Update 05/09

Well you know plans can change in an instant. So I went for my monitoring appointment this morning, and I have to go back tomorrow. So egg retrieval will probably be on Thursday (5/12) now! 

Update 5/10

Retrieval is set for Thursday morning at 8:45! We have to be there at 8 in Birmingham!
