IVF: The Final Chapter

Last Monday, Leandra had her ovaries "cleaned out" as the doctor went through 30+ follicles and found 15 eggs. We were later told that five of them were "really good."

Since that time, we have been waiting for the last stage of the the IVF process which is implanting two of the eggs back into her. It is my understanding that two pf them have already been fertilized and are currently incubating.

After the eggs are implanted, the drugs/hormones she will take will help her body with the transition of thinking its pregnant. This is done because conception didn't happen naturally and her body might few the eggs as foreign bodies and would normally attack them (like a virus).

Our appointment is at 8:30 am tomorrow morning. We'll see what happen.

On a side note, I really hope this works. I don't want to have to pay anymore money.

  1. That all sounds SO beautifully amazing. All 100 (20x5 Ryan and Christine are in on this too) toes and fingers are crossed that BDK & his sibling will be making his entrance sometime in June. You've just filled us with ear to ear smiles tonight. Give Bacon Mama a great big huge hug for us, will you please!
