On Sunday morning we got a call from embryology. Out of the 7 eggs collected, all of them were mature and 6 of them had fertilised!
We could not believe our luck - that was fantastic news and just what we needed after the trauma of the past couple of days.
The picture above is what they would have looked like at this stage. You can see the two nuclei at the centre of the cell - one of those would contain my DNA and the other H's. For the first time, we had created something that was part me, part him. It was an amazing feeling and incredibly emotional.
We were told that we would be called the next day when they would have expected any viable embryos to have divided into 2-4 cells. Cue another 24 hours of nail-biting and wishing hard.
