After Nicole was moved into another rooms she could get dressed and find her "sea legs", the embryologist came in to talk to us. He was so incredibly nice! Keith told us that Nicole did very well and they were able to retrieve 15 eggs!
Of course at that time, it was too early to tell how many were mature. He informed us that they would be fertilized with Scott's sperm the "conventional" way. I had asked if they use ICSI (which is taking one sperm and injecting it into an egg). He shared that if there was greater than 50% of the eggs that did not fertilize with the conventional method, he would go back and use ICSI. After he had answered all my questions, he said he would call me in the morning with a fertilization report. Also, he would meet with me in person on Wednesday to go over their day 3 growth AND give me pictures!! I was so stoked!
Nicole, Kelly, and Finn stayed one more night and then I took them to the airport Monday morning. Scott and I don't have to words to even begin to say thank you enough to Nicole for all she sacrificed and went through to even give us just a chance of having children. I don't think I will ever be able to say thank you enough, and yet thank you just doesn't seem to be enough to convey how grateful we are.
