"You are the God who performs miracles; You display Your power among the peoples." Psalm 77:14

Last week when there was only one egg removed the doctor said we had a 5% chance of making it to transfer and pregnancy. Those were some devastating odds, but I can honestly say we all stayed positive and turned to God. We all felt reassurance that if He wanted to make this happen he could and would. And if it wasn't supposed to happen it wouldn't. I kept feeling like God was showing us how good He is by orchestrating things so perfectly.

Let me explain.... First, it has always concerned me that there would be more than one embryo transferred. It made me nervous because I didn't really want to carry multiples. Not that I wouldn't but it just wasn't exactly something I really desired. M & L did not want multiples. Not that they wouldn't love them, just not what they really desired.

Secondly, there is always the moral dilemma of having "left over" embryos. If there are eight eggs retrieved and 6 of them fertilize and start growing into embryos the parents have to make the decision of what to do with the embryos that are not used. M & L will not have to go through that. God gave them the perfect amount to make one child.

Yesterday we went into the clinic and got some great news. The embryo was of good quality and was strong. We transferred the embryo and went back to the hotel and laid around and watched movies..lots of movies.

I am back home now. I have a new schedule of medication and injections to take for the next two weeks. I am going to go in on Tuesday to get blood draw to get a baseline of my HCG levels. Then I will go in on Thursday for another HCG test that will determine if we are pregnant.

Even if we don't get pregnant I feel God has blessed this shared journey in so many obvious ways and I want to thank Him and praise Him for revealing Himself to us these past two weeks.
