I know you wanted more than the one, but I think it's great that you are one step closer to having the family you want. And you ARE ONE STEP CLOSER, Sweetie. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Awwwwwwww, Polly, I am sorry things are not as great as you had hoped. Each step in this process is monumental and while I know this may make your journey even longer, it is a step forward.
I'm celebrating your Nemo and praying that more of his brothers and sisters join in the next round.
Wow, not what you expected, I'm sure. I know you are grateful for one, but I'm sure you're having a million other thoughts and emotions as well. Hang in there. I'm really sorry it didn't turn out better than that. But Yay for Nemo!
Wow the technology is amazing. Congrats on your good egg! Hope the next cycle(s) go by quickly and you are soon the the 2ww you want to be in! Here from NCLM!
Nemo is the perfect name-and what I know about Nemo, he sure is a fighter and determined to get where he's going--so no doubt, he knows to burrow in for 9 comfy months. Best to you, Polly.
I am on the journey. Like the rest of you, I have a lot of issues. My life is all about the adventures of dealing with those issues. I am just trying to live the life that God has given me and in the process try to understand more about Him and who He's created me to be.
Words to live by ... (my current top five list of scripture verses I'm clinging to)
(Joel 2:25) "Then I will make up to you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten; the creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust. My great army which I sent among you.
(Psalm 139: 13-14) For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
(Luke 1:37) For nothing is impossible with God
(Eph 3:20-21) Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
(Habakkuk 3:17) "Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior."

Man. That is disappointing. I am glad there was one, though. I'll be thinking of you and praying for a good outcome even so.
ReplyDeleteI have faith in Nemo. I will be praying that more of your eggs are healthy during the next retrieval. You're in my thoughts, hun.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you have this one!!! Maybe this one is "it" for you guys!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the next step? Implant?
Wow, not what you expected, I'm sure. I know you are grateful for one, but I'm sure you're having a million other thoughts and emotions as well. Hang in there. I'm really sorry it didn't turn out better than that. But Yay for Nemo!
ReplyDeleteHave faith. It only takes one to make one. . .and sometimes one even makes two.
