Just a quick update in case anyone is holding their breath waiting to hear the results of our egg retrieval yesterday. All we know at this point is that we got 11 eggs. The embryologist said that at first glance they all looked "good." We are waiting to hear how many were mature and how many fertilized.
I am feeling fine, a little sore and definitely moving more slowly than normal. Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers as this progresses.
I do feel like I should warn you ahead of time -- although I'm happy to share certain parts of this journey, Tony and I have decided that this time around, if we're pregnant, it will be easiest if we wait until we're sure everything is okay to announce to the world (or those who read my blog) that we're pregnant. Hopefully you can all understand. Last time we announced right away, and it was awful having to tell people that I miscarried, especially when I was asked in public places or in person...because I would start crying immediately. Of course, for close family and close friends, it may be a different story. My husband does have an awful time keeping secrets!
Tomorrow I will attempt to give you more of the history behind our reasoning. Be prepared, it'll be a long one!
I completely understand not telling people. But since I have not told people each and every time that we were there are also those that ask nearly every day when are you going to have kids or you're going to be such a great mom... It is all so heartbreaking but whichever way you choose to deal with it takes great strength. I admire your continued fight. At this point we have decided to foster and look into adopting. The path is not easy and know you are not alone. My thoughts are with you as you two continue through this struggle. <3
