numbers.

So today was the big day.  I went in to find out how many eggs I have ready as well as when or if we should plan our ovulation/insemination.  Shockingly enough I had 6 eggs ready!!!  With this development we now had to take into consideration what the options would be if we ended up with 6 fertilized eggs.  The options were either to not do this cycle, or to plan on using reduction of the embryos if we ended up with 4 or more.  

It was a big talk for so early in the morning, but S and I seem to always be on the same page- which is helpful, but also makes me nervous that we may overlook an option being so like-minded. We decided to run it by D who is accessible and similar in beliefs and she also agreed.  So the plan is as follows:  We are going to run with the insemination this weekend.  We are going to pray and hope for the best, but we are going to use reduction if we need to.  We know that the body sometimes absorbs a fetus to make the pregnancy of multiples more viable.  And since this process is pretty unnatural, we have to take into consideration what the body might do to ensure the viability of the other babies.    So we feel "good" about it, and are moving forward.  This procedure may result in nothing or many- I guess we will see!
