We're still having trouble adjusting to the time zone... oh well. Today we went to the floating market for lunch and snacks. We also joined a tour to see some beautiful orchids and temples.
Arriving back at the hotel we found out that of our 20 donor eggs, 19 were mature eggs. All 19 were fertilized and 14 of these formed zygotes (2 celled). We won't be given anymore growth updates until Thursday the 18th when we implant a few into my uterus. This is to ensure the growth of the embryos is not disturbed. This is all great news! Totally beyond what we had expected. God has definitely been blessing us with this information.
Now our thoughts turn to how many eggs we should implant back into me... 2 or 3. Both of us agree that we can handle twins, but not triplets. We also know that not all embryos implanted will necessarily survive. But if they did, we are talking about an extremely high risk pregnancy. We will have to discuss this further with the doctor before the embryo transfer. I'm also thinking that I really only want to be "pregnant" once... I really don't like the thought of not working, being physically "limited" and feeling bloated, cranky and like crap... but I am thankful that God has enabled us to experience the opportunity to get this far, so I'm not complaining.
I'll be heading to the clinic tomorrow for another "butt" injection of progesterone... not a happy thought for me...
