Overview

So I know I just posted yesterday, but we just had a great appointment with the embryologist and I have to share :) She went over all of these papers with us, and showed us pictures of embryos developing. It was seriously amazing! God just created everything to be so perfect and its amazing that get a small glimpse of it. When you do IVF, they do a thing called ICSI where they actually take a single sperm and inject it into an egg. After they do this, the egg starts to develop over the next 5 days, and then they put two embryos back in. The picture showed them injecting the sperm, and right when they take out the needle the egg closes up as if there were never even a hole from the needle. If there is anything wrong with the sperm or egg, they each have the ability to correct each other! How amazing is that? They work together and make sure that each other are healthy. Its amazing that God designed it that way, because if not there would be a ton of birth defects. The embryo has an outer lining around it, which gets thinner and thinner as the days go by. This is because at this time naturally, the embryo would be in the fallopian tubes and if it didnt have that lining it would attached to the tubes and not the uterus. 5 days later embryo starts making its way out of the lining, which makes it capable of attaching in the uterus. Isn't it amazing how God just created every single detail of it? As I was looking at pictures and learning all of this I was just in awe that it all goes together soooo perfectly. Hats off to you God! haha.
