day 2

Yesterday afternoon we stayed in our hotel since we were so tired. We had dinner at 4pm which I guess was an early time here because we were the only ones in the restaurant the entire time. The restaurant was located inside our hotel and the food was very good. I ordered chicken with ham and cheese on top,veggies and salad. John had pork chops, potatoes,and veggies. After dinner we went back to our room to shower and we tried our hardest to stay up as long as we could so that we could try to adjust our bodies to the time here. John was on the computer and I read some of my book but we still didnt make it to 9pm. John fell asleep at 7 and I did too shortly after. Then we both woke up at midnight wide awake. I fell asleep again and John did around 3am after getting back on the computer again. We had to get up at 7ish to get ready for breakfast then to repack our things and meet our coordinator in the lobby so she could take us to our appointment.

We just got back from viewing Brno. Our coordinator was showing us around the city and telling us what train we will be using to go to the shopping mall and restaurants. She also took us to the grocery store which is a 5 minute walk from our apartment.

Today its 2o degrees with snow showers later on, its been cloudy all morning.

John and I also went to our first appointment at the clinic. The staff was very nice and everyone we met spoke good English. Our doctors name is Dr. Stepan, he explained our protocol to us and said we have an excellent chance of conceiving. He also did my ultrasound which showed 11 eggs and the sizes range from 10cm to 12cm. My eggs are at the right size and are developing great. He also told me to start my Cetrotide shot and this medication will make my eggs develop evenly. The eggs need to be at 18cm before they do the egg retrieval. Dr. Stepan also moved up my retrieval day to this Saturday the 30th. John did his semen analysis today too and they are going to freeze his sperm just in case he doesnt give a good sample on the embryo transfer date. And all of this is because of God and all the prayers we have been saying. God has truly blessed us with a great appointment and many more to come I am sure. With out him this would not have been possible.
