Praise God!

As we progressed through our treatment I continued to pray to God. I specifically prayed that His will be done and that if at any point we were not being obedient to place unpassable obstacles in front of us. Each step was reassuring. First we received the great news that we had 18 eggs of good size to harvest! That's a very high amount. But we knew that we were looking for quality over quantity. Next, we were told that 15 out of the 18 eggs actually fertilized. Again an obvious blessing. From there the lab graded each fertilized egg. We ended up having 5 eggs in the top quality range! We were beyond excited! The doctors recommended that we transfer just 1 embryo and freeze the rest. We agreed and the next thing I knew it was time for the transfer procedure. The procedure went great! I was continually thankful for the amazing doctor/nursing staff at U of M. Throughout all of the testing, visits and procedures they we all so supportive and caring. It was truly comforting. So now that the transfer was complete it was time to wait (not one of my strongest qualities). So two weeks pass and it was finally time for my blood test to find out if we're pregnant. I went in around 7:30am for the blood draw and waited...and waited...and waited. Finally around 4:30 my phone rang...we're pregnant! Wooohooo! Praise God! 1 Samuel 1:27 "For this child I prayed; and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him".
