We have fertilisation!!! We're so happy to get this good news this morning. I had a strange kind of restless peace last night that fertilisation would happen. We had a real heart to heart with God, with all our doubts and ...
We're gutted. For all the talk of over stimulation and the risks, when they went to harvest the eggs this morning they only got one. One. Everyone is surprised. No one really knows what happened to all the many follicles we saw as ...
