say blastocyst ... ok cheese may be easier

This picture to the right may not look like much to you ... but it represents an enormous amount of love and quite a bit of commitment to Mike and I. What you see are two beautiful 5 day old embryos. Our embryos. They are actually called "blastocysts" once they reach this point. (150 cells or so) You probably already know, to some degree, that due to complications (scar tissue) from previous surgeries i've had, that both of my fallopian tubes have been rendered "unpassable" and that IVF is/was our only reasonable option for having children. That is probably way too much information...i apologize...i just wanted to offer some background as to how we got booked on this voyage.
