Month 2, Day 12.......Trigger!!!!!

It is here!!!  I do the trigger shot tonight at 9:30pm and will have surgery on Thursday at 8:30am!!  There are lots of hurdles coming that we will need many, many prayers for.  The immediate one is the egg retrieval.  Please pray for excellent skills from the doctor performing the retrieval and that many, many mature, healthy eggs are able to be extracted.

The phases are as follows:

• Extraction (we need mature, healthy eggs)
• Fertilization
• Healthy cell division resulting in beautiful embryos with little to no fragmentation
• Embryo transfer
• Beta test (shows if we were successful or not)

It is going to be an exciting yet stressful next few weeks and we will tackle this one phase at a time. I try so hard not to get ahead of myself because each phase is key to moving on so I have to remind myself to take it one step at a time!!  I will post on Thursday after the retrieval with the number of eggs extracted....until then, lots and lots of prayers!
