Tests, Tests, and More Tests

So we just wanted to check in and let you know that all of the extra tests that we had to do are almost over. Jared finished his last two tests last Friday, and I have my final tests next week. We both had to have some blood tests performed to check for anything that may interfere with the possibility of freezing some of our eggs after the transfer. We are only putting two eggs back, so if some more make the cut, we can freeze them for up to a year. My final test is next Thursday and it is a mock embryo transfer. It is just like the day I will go and do my real transfer with two eggs. They have to do some measuring and get things ready for the real deal. After this test we just wait until August 30 for orientation.

We also found out that when they remove the eggs from me, they are going to fertilize them in two different ways. Half of the eggs will be sprinkled and then half will be injected (known as ICSI ). We are excited that they are doing both and we hope that this increases our chances.

I think that the excitement has started to set in. I know that I cannot wait until the 30th. I think about it everyday and all day long. Imagine that? I have started my school year again and both Jared and I are going back to school this fall also. I am taking two classes to get my middle school endorsement and Jared is going back to get his masters. Do you think that we could do anything else? Hopefully this will keep us busy while we are waiting to find out if this works. Thanks for all of the support. More to come later........
