No Embryo's to Freeze

Thank you for all your kind words to my emotional day yesterday.  It is such a comfort to know that there are people out there (who I've never met) who are praying for us. It just warms my heart! 

After the nurse called yesterday and delivered the news that the nine embryo's we had left did not make it long enough to freeze, I kept wondering why those little embry babies didn't survive.  I was a little bummed about it, but then Steve said something that I hadn't thought of.  Maybe the Lord didn't let them survive so we wouldn't have to worry about the cost of storing them, or more importantly, what we would do with them long term.  Maybe He will bless us with a BFP this cycle and we don't need those extra embryos! 

I know it can be a hard decision for some couples.  We discussed it previously with the RE's office when we signed all our paper work. The Shared Risk Program covers one year of storage.  Then you have to pay a yearly storage fee.  There's also the option to donate them (to other couples or to Science) or have them destroyed. We probably would pay the yearly storage fees until I reach an age where I can't have children. Then we would probably donate them to science.

I am grateful that Heavenly Father knows our struggles and knows what's best for us.  Sometimes what's best isn't always what WE think are the best.  But He will carry us through all of it.  Thank you for your prayers.  Keep them coming.
