Ladies, can?t quite believe it but we are there, on the two week wait! They put two lovely embies back in.
They are Paschal and Cielo!
The remaining three were not of a suitable grade to freeze but they were all still moving on and developing. So the clinic staff agreed to freeze them, after telling me about 10 times that there were no guarantee! One was the right number of cells but a low grade, anther was a slightly higher grade but not quite as many cells as they would like and the third was a total underdog. The clinic knew we were very keen to freeze if there were any embies to freeze and I basically spoke to the embryologist and said can we just give them a go, so they agreed to freeze all three. I?ve done lots of research on the internet and was encouraged to see this. If interested go down to the bottom of the page to see Case 3.

This patient had approximately 50% fragmentation in an 8 cell embryo and delivered a very healthy child.
Also
?Ultimately, the true test of embryo quality is whether it implants and develops normally and eventually goes home from the hospital with mom and dad. In other words, embryo grading systems are imperfect, and we always need the pregnancy test, and the final pregnancy outcome, to tell us more about "embryo quality" than a microscope could ever reveal.?
Just doing a bit of research what to drink on the two week wait.

Rehydration
In oral rehydration therapy, electrolyte drinks containing sodium and potassium salts replenish the body's water and electrolyte levels after dehydration caused by exercise, excessive alcohol consumption, diaphoresis, diarrhea, vomiting, intoxication or starvation. Athletes exercising in extreme conditions (for three or more hours continuously e.g. marathon or triathlon) who do not consume electrolytes risk dehydration (or hyponatremia).[1]
A simple electrolyte drink can be home-made by using the correct proportions of water, sugar, salt, salt substitute for potassium, and baking soda.[2]
Electrolytes are commonly found in fruit juices, coconut water, sports drinks, milk, and many fruits and vegetables (whole or in juice form) (e.g. potatoes, avocados).
So maybe I'll just try a glass of milk! That's got the protein too! I certainly won't be making a homemade drink with salt!! Yuk!
