From Milly this evening (with permission)

Third IVF cycle, Egg Retrieval Day:

"I feel like it was a success today, and I'm pleased with the results. Ben and I both feel like this will be a successful cycle, and I think we are both entirely ready. I'm excited. Because of all the eggs they got, there is a chance we might be able to go to blastocyst, and might even be able to freeze some embryos. I'm being hopeful, I'll know more tomorrow when we get a call from the embryologist with the fertilization results.

I think the weight that I have lost has been a factor this cycle. I feel healthier and better about myself, and like I'm taking better care of things in my life. I also think that the Lord has played a big role in this as well. I'm glad for Ben's blessing this morning, and I am very grateful for all the prayers that my beloved friends and family have said for me on my behalf. Thank you to you all."

I'm so happy for them! Kevin and I struggled to concieve too. It took over a year to concieve our little girl. His sister successfully has two children through IVF and then got PG with twin girls twice naturally afterward. (The first set didn't make it though but the second did.) I pray all continues to go well for them!
