day 3 embie report - is this good?

sliz · November 2009

the embryologist left me a voicemail this morning - he said of the 23 embryos we had growing:

5 were excellent quality

9 were good quality

2 were average

4 were poor quality

and 3 were very poor quality....

does anyone know how to interpret this? Is this a good ratio for having 23 embryos or should more of them have been good-excellent? Is there any chance that the poor ones will pick up? Does this indicate any chance at having frozen embryos?

I was hoping all my 23 embies were doing excellent but i know that is a lot to hope for....my transfer is Wed at 11:30....DH said to count ourselves lucky

I think having 14 that are above average is fantastic I think things look great for you!

good luck!

thanks - i didn't get to talk to the embryologist so I couldn't get his interpretation of these results...i hope that we have great embie on Wed to transfer and several make it to freeze....
