Home and Recovering
Hello all,
The egg retrieval is finished! We are glad to have it behind us, but we are disappointed with the outcome.
Out of 13 follicles they were only able to get 5 eggs. This was somewhat shocking to us as we were so happy with the growth our follicles made.
There is drop off at every step of this process meaning that we likely will not end up with all 5 eggs fertilizing perfectly and coming back genetically healthy. So there is a level of fear here when it comes to the number we may or may not end up with.
We are physically and emotionally exhausted and ready to be on the other side of this.
Please pray for our mental/emotional state as we have to “hurry up and wait” to find out how many embryos we get and that God does a lot with a little to bless us with the perfect amount of embryos to complete our family.
Love you all,
Madison and Andrew
I wish I had some sage words to say to you, but I’ve never experienced, nor have I known anyone who has experienced the IVF process before. From your posts, I can tell it’s painful, both physically and emotionally, and the waiting for results must be exhausting. I think you are both very brave to undertake this procedure and I hope and pray you receive the outcome you want. I love you both. ❤️❤️
