This is seen the morning after an IVF egg retrieval when we check the eggs for signs of fertilization.
Male and female genetic material (DNA) are contained in the 2 pronuclei seen in the center of the photo.
We'll get another update tomorrow, and they'll tell us whether we transfer on day 3 (Friday) or day 5 (Sunday). If we have a good number still growing, we may be going in on Sunday.This is seen the morning after an IVF egg retrieval when we check the eggs for signs of fertilization.

And I was supposed to talk in Sacrament Meeting this Sunday. Good thing I postponed it!
We need all your prayers and good thoughts, so keep them coming!
