Staying positive, return is positive!

The first home test

On Friday we took our first pregnancy test at the lab. After a few hours of nail biting, we got the results: positive.

Joy called me at work, and said “You are going to be a dad”.
we have been enjoying the good news, and slowly calling frineds and family to share the news.
We want to share the good news with everyone that has supported us so much, and say thanks.
Thank you for all your support, all the times you have held us in your thoughts, prayers, space, love, and all the other ways you have sent such good favor. There is still plenty of road to go, and we are well underway.

Joy wanted to take the home test, so she did tonight, the image above is the result of the home test! soo awesome!

More good news

More good news yesterday. Got word from the embryologist. They froze 2 of our embryos on Monday, and another 5 on tuesday. These are the embryos we will use when we want to get pregnanat again, so having good healthy number makes us very happy.

Transfer complete

A few things going on these last few days. Last week we did an egg retrieval from Becky. We got 12 great eggs, and all 12 fertilized. On day 3 the eggs looked great, the doctors said we could do a transfer on day 5. Day 5 is today. We did the transfer today, all went great, and Joy has bee resting at home all day. We both have been very excited about all this, and it has been going really great.
Here are a few pictures.
