Waiting

I f#@kin don't like this.

My first embie didn't survive.

My second embie had 100% cell rehydration (for those in the know about frozen embryos). If you are not in the know, well, it's good.

They put it back.

I have chest pains from panic. But I am not too worried, I googled and after reassuring myself that I was not about to die of either a broken heart or heart attack, I resigned myself to the fact that anxiety is going to be a part of this ride.

The momentum for life, both scientifically and spiritually, has to come from this little embie. I can provide the best environment possible, but as with all things to do with your kids, they ultimately need to do it for themselves.

Go embie. Have a will for life.

one PGD'd embryo with 100% rehydration has a good, good chance at being a live birth.

(just googled 'embryo rehydration' and stumbed onto a site that says that God says that IVF is wrong. what. the. f#ck. I think I'll agree - it sounds good like RE-surrection and better than DEhydration haha.)

I've always had bad stress during the PGD cycles. I don't think anyone normal could NOT have stress during any IVF cycle, much less a PGD one, so I think you're safe and the embie is also safe.

When is your beta?

God or mother nature or whoever - please let this embie stick in for the long haul and become Maya's live lil brother or sister.

f#cking hope this works for you mate. xx
