A happy and blessed Tuesday it is. We started the big-needle PIO (progesterone in oil) shots last night...one a day is better than four! Gena woke up this morning feeling very well overall, so that was great news. While Chad was still sleeping, the clinic called and Gena answered; we were blessed with extremely good news from our procedure yesterday, as all 10 of the oocytes that were retrieved were mature and 8 of them were successfully fertilized (now look like the picture above left). So we are "pregnant" with octuplets right now! :-) Our transfer appointment is scheduled for 1030 on Thursday; between now and then, our little ones will continue to grow and they will take the best two and use them during the transfer on Thursday. We will freeze those that remain and that are of the quality they require to survive the cryopreservation.
Overall, we are immensely happy & optomistic with the news from today...though we know it is all in God's hands (all 8 potentials!)
We won't have any updates until after the procedure on Thursday, so we will post another update after we return from the hospital that day.
Thank you for your continued prayers for us and for our friends (Sparky & Gina).
Love from DC
Chad, Gena, Nash, and Teebo
