Eggs are fertilized

Ok, so yesterday they recovered 11 eggs which were able to begin the fertilization process. Out of those 11, seven actually fertilized. Tomorrow I will get the update as to what Grade these eggs are. Four is the best and one is the worst. Out of those seven we only 2 to be good for implantation.

At first I was disappointed in the number. Let's think about this I made 23 eggs people. We only got 11 of them to be ripe for fertilization and only 7 of those did. However, I am happy with the small number of seven. Mainly because it is my view on when life begins. For me it begins at conception. So right now I have 7 little lives I am concerned about. I don't have to worry about destroying any extras. It is possible that not all of those will develop. I will freeze the other good ones and possibly donate them to a couple that needs them. It keeps my decisions to a minimum. I had struggled with this "extra egg/extra embryo thing." Looks like God took that struggle away. Thank you!
