Accepted Answer

The intermittent hot palms and feet without any other symptoms or medical conditions could be attributed to various factors, including anxiety or stress, overactive thyroid (although you mentioned no medical conditions), hormonal fluctuations, poor circulation, or sympathetic nervous system response; to alleviate symptoms, try relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga, wear breathable clothing and socks, and soak your hands and feet in cool water when they become hot, but if the issue persists, consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions.

Question 4

What are the success chances when transferring a grade 2 embryo? I've got three of these, each being a grade 2 on day 3. Could you also explain how the grading works and what my chances of conceiving might be?

Accepted Answer

The success chances of a grade 2 embryo transfer are relatively good, considering day 3 embryo grades are categorized into four quality levels.

- Grade 1 (poor quality): More than 25% fragmentation
- Grade 2 (fair quality): 10-25% fragmentation
- Grade 3 (good quality): 1-10% fragmentation
- Grade 4 (excellent quality): Less than 1% fragmentation

Studies have shown that embryos across all grades can lead to healthy births, but higher-quality embryos have better success rates. For day 3 embryos, the success rates are generally lower compared to blastocyst-stage embryos.

To give you a better idea, here are some general success rates for embryo transfers based on the embryo's quality and stage of development :

- Excellent-grade blastocysts: 65% pregnancy rate and 50% live birth rate
- Good-grade blastocysts: 59.3% pregnancy rate and 49.7% live birth rate
- Average-grade blastocysts: 50.3% pregnancy rate and 42.3% live birth rate
- Poor-grade blastocysts: 33.3% pregnancy rate and 25% live birth rate

Keep in mind that these are general estimates and actual success rates can vary depending on individual circumstances and the specific fertility clinic.

Given that you have three grade 2 embryos, your chances of conceiving are still relatively good, but it's essential to consult with your fertility specialist to discuss the best course of action and determine the most suitable embryo transfer strategy for your specific situation.

Question 5

Can you help me understand if it's okay to drink water before getting a non-fasting blood sugar test? I'm also wondering if it's necessary to wait a full 2 hours, or is an hour and a half sufficient before getting it checked?

Accepted Answer

For a non-fasting blood sugar test, you can drink water, but avoid eating anything for at least 1-2 hours before the test; however, if you've had a meal, waiting for 2 hours is ideal, but 1.5 hours may also be acceptable, consult with your healthcare provider or lab technician for specific guidance.

Question 6

Hey, I've been having this weird situation with my period for the last two months. It just doesn't stop properly. It halts for like two days and then starts again with either a little spotting or suddenly, these heavy clots show up. Itll be calm for ...

Accepted Answer

Prolonged bleeding or irregular cycles for two months is abnormal and requires medical attention.
The underlying cause could be hormonal imbalances, structural issues (like fibroids or polyps), or an infection.
A gynecologist will be able to conduct tests and determine the appropriate treatment to address the cause of your irregular bleeding.
