The Designed Destiny

Wow so much has happened since my last post. I am excited to say that I am currently in my first SUCCESSFUL round of IVF.

So back in December 2012 I had a hysterscopy to clean my uterus out from polyps found back in October ( my original start date of IVF).  That procedure went really well and the Dr cleared me right after the surgery for the January IVF cycle. December went by so quickly!!!

January-
My husband planned a surprise skating party for my 35th birthday. It was awesome he invited all of my close friends and family near and far. I mean this man rented out the entire skating rink just for ME!!! It was an awesome show of love and we had a ball. At that moment I realized this year is MY year. 2013 will be the year of the Harvest and every tear I sowed every seed I have planted was coming forth this YEAR!!

I had received instructions to stay on my birth control until Jan 9th when I was to get my baseline labs for IVF on Jan 10th. Well my pill pack ended on Jan 5th and so I didn't think to start a new pack. Well I noticed I was bleeding and wasn't supposed to start my period. I quickly called my IVF nurse and she told me to come in the next day to"savage" my cycle. Immediately I began to pray and not become anxious about not starting this round.

All worked out we went and thank God there was another medicine you can start to prevent you from going into full menstruation. My estradiol level was low enough to begin taking the hormones that will stimulate my ovaries to hyperovulate.

I was thinking how God's time is the right time and how he had Jason has been relocated to my job and was afforded the first two weeks off in January to be by my side for every blood draw and ultrasound. We literally drove to Bethesda from Waldorf every morning from January 9-21 with maybe one or two days off. We were closely following my blood levels and follicle growth. We did wonderful!!

Jan 21st-MLK HOLIDAY and Inauguration of President Barack Obama for his second term as the first Black President.  Also the day my eggs were retrieved and fertilized by Jason's sperm. . I know graphic right>>>>>> BUT Totally supernatural.. They Retrieved 16 of my Eggs and out of those 16 ,,, 14 were fertilized!!! WOW  so under a microscope they are taking good care and watching my embryo grow. I mean its absolutely supernatural. It toke a man to think outside of the box or in this case the womb to find an alternative way of conceiving children. GOD is still the Zoey of life the Life Giver..

I am honored he chose to Design our Destiny this way!!

Jan 23rd- Prepared for day three transfer. We took the days off very excited about having our embryos transfered into my uterus. However God had another plan. It snowed today and we were bundling up to tackle the snow when the Dr. called and said I have 11 "high grade" embryos and they wanted to wait two more days to watch them grow.  So Saturday is the DAY!!!!

Here is a pic of what my 11 high grade embryos look like>>
