Not what we expected

Well, we received the call from the doctor this afternoon. Unfortunately, none of our eggs from yesterday's retrieval fertilized. So, there will be no pregnancy resulting from this IVF cycle. 

I am a whirlwind of emotions right now, but mostly I am heartbroken. Having a child has been my dream since I I was one myself. The doctors were unable to give us an answer regarding why this happened. It could be an egg quality issue, it might be a a sperm quality issues, it may be neither. 

At this point we are trying to focus on moving forward. We will be meeting with the doctor for a consultation sometime soon, and my goal is to move forward as soon as it's safe to do so in order to try again. 

Thanks for being here, for reading, and for your thoughts and prayers!
